Baldock/Fagg/Small Family History

Finally, it’s up! The website for the 1911 census (http://www.1911census.co.uk) is available, and very much surprised me by having many counties available (although of course, I couldn’t say how complete!). Suffice it to say that the areas of Kent I am interested in have come up trumps – and highlighted a stupid mistake I had made regarding the birth year of my father’s auntie – who had the same name as here mother!
Unfortunately, FindMyPast.com (who run the site) are only making data available on a Pay-As-You-Go basis at the moment (although searches are free). There is no date as yet as to when we may all be able to use our subscriptions to findmypast.com to access the data for no extra charge (I’ve already contacted them!). And now I’ve used up what few credits I had left after upgrading to subscription at Xmas!
I suspect that demand may bring their plans forward. Let’s all do our bit to achieve this – although I guess flooding them with emails is not such a good idea! Demand has seen the census released early, and I suspect us subscribers will benefit further soon …
Bring it on!

Contacted by the daughter of Charles Maysmor NOWILL, more names, an address for correspondence with another NOWILL family member, more dates, another possible living NOWILL relative, goddaughters, godfathers (no, not those ones!) and a ROYCE who may be related (as yet unconfirmed) to he of Rolls-Royce fame!

All this, and three people with hot matches to my tree on GenesReunited (totalling 15 names)!!

Oh, isn’t this fun!!

I was fortunate enough a little while ago to trace my BALDOCK family tree back to a pivotal marriage of John BALDOCK & Susannah NEWING. This couple appear on the webpages at http://www.fadedgenes.co.uk/JosephBaldockDescendants.html and http://www.fadedgenes.co.uk/JohnBALDOCK.html, alongside many other relatives. I have seen John’s parents confirmed as Thomas BALDOCK and Ann DAWKINS from other sources, but have yet to physically confirm myself through parish records.

I have taken a chance for now and assumed this is correct, now working forward from Thomas’ other children. In this regard, through census records, I have already found some additional descendants not listed.

Providing my proving proceeds on track, it also means I have another two relatives who died in WWI, namely John Edward BALDOCK and Walter William FAGG, the latter not, as far as I am yet aware, related to the FAGGs on my grandmother’s side (future research may prove otherwise!).

After processing the family trees on the above webpages, my little acorn may well have grown into a large oak tree!
