Lost and Found

 

My «Lost and Found» service is to help you find any of those elusive LAWFORD ancestors. Perhaps even one you have given up all hope of ever finding. You can also send me any photos you may have of unknown LAWFORD family members for identification. Then with a bit of luck someone who visits this site will come up with the answer you have been looking for. I will then have the nice job of telling you the happy news and then putting the answer on the net for others to see. All you need to do is let me have an outline of what you already know about the ancestor you want to be reunited with. I would be grateful though, if you could write your information exactly how you want it to appear on the net. (e-mail).

Their interest is in a marriage which could have taken place in Essex (probably around the Colchester area) or London between an Ann Angelina EVERITT and a ????  LAWFORD. She was born June 1856 and living in Copford during the 1861 Census. We know she went to London and then subsequently married ????  LAWFORD who came from Copford. They probably married between 1874 and 1881.

I am interested in the name LAWFORD because a forebear of mine Sarah Lawford Chestle JEFFERY had that as one of her forenames.
 
She was my Great Great Grandfathers step sister. She was born on the Isle of Wight Feb 16th 1806, and baptised at Newport I.O.W. on March 19th 1806. She was the only child of James JEFFERY 1757 - 1815 and his 2nd wife Elizabeth PEDDER, who had also been married before. Elizabeth’s maiden name was CHESTLE, so we know where the CHESTLE came from, but not the LAWFORD. I know very little about the CHESTLES of the I.O.W, and I have never come across the LAWFORD name on the I.O.W.
 
Sarah Lawford Chestle JEFFERY was taken to Prince Edward Island, Canada as a child in 1809/10. Her father James JEFFERY returned to the I.O.W. in 1812, but Sarah remained with her step sister in P.E.I. until she eloped at the age of 18 and got married. The step sister married into the COMPTON family of Amport, near Andover. Her name was Hannah, and two of her brothers , Stephen and George also emigrated to P.E.I. Sarah Lawford Chestle JEFFERY married twice. Her first husband was murdered. A book on the JEFFERY family give an account of the court case. There are many descendants of hers from both husbands in P.E.I. and elsewhere living today. LAMB and MC.INNIS, and other names.
 
We know that Sarah got the CHESTLE name from her mothers maiden name, and I think its most likely she got the LAWFORD name from someone in the CHESTLE family marrying a LAWFORD. So my question would be «does anyone know of a CHESTLE marrying a LAWFORD prior to 1800 on the Isle of Wight?»

I have a distant Aunty Edith BEVAN born in Orcop Herefordshire in 1846 and she married Andrew LAWFORD who was born in 1846 in Hereford city UK. They had 5 children I know of in the 1881 census for Birmingham but I lost them after that. Maybe they immigrated to NZ ,Canada or Australia as other family members appear to have done so, George born 1868, Andrew born 1871, John 1873, Edith 1878.
