Susannah SYMONDS died 1898

Looks like she was older than you thought!
Deaths Dec 1898
Susannah Symonds age 94 Newent Vol 6a Page 155
--------------------------------------------------------
Look on the bright side - according to FreeBMD Athaway is a very rare name.
20 births recorded between 1845 and 1910
3 marriages
6 deaths
I wonder if it used to be Hathaway?
---------------------------------------------
I cannot find a marriage, or baptism of any children, on the FOD parish records so I would imagine they married in Worcestershire?
You could try The Birmingham & Midland Society for Genealogy & Heraldry (They have a Worcestershire Branch on their site) www.bmsgh.org
Or Familia:Worcestershire County Council www.familia.org.uk/services/england/worcester.html
You might get more information if you can find their marriage in parish records
e.g. father's name & occupation.
FreeBMD list two births of Athaway's at Dudley & West Bromwich in 1845.
Good Luck

Emily married twice ,The second time to my G Grandfather Richard Keyse in Aston Ingham in 1881.
Thank you for all your help, it was much appreciated.

Hi
Ref your 2 messages on Friday March 14 2008.
I am Brian Goode and have been researching the GOODE family for a number of years and came to a dead-end after 1871 (the year my G'father was born). I have copies of his Birth Cert. (1871) and his parents Marriage Cert. in 1869.
He was James John Thomas GOODE, the son of Emily Symonds (various spellings here for Emily and Symonds).
However, I cannot find any trace, with any certainty, of all three of them after the 1871 census until about 1894 when the son (James John Thomas GOODE) married my grandmother in Newport.
I have searched and searched for all three and the only possibility I have found is that there was a James Goode who died from drowning in the river Wye in 1872 whilst working on the building of a railway bridge. Unfortunately, the death cert. does not show any info. of wife etc. and my enquiries re. the subsequent coroners enquiry (in Hereford) is not available owing to the fact that records for this date were destroyed by fire.
The whereabouts of his widow Emily have been a mystery and as I have presumed she re-married I found it impossible to trace both her and son to date as I had no surname to follow.
I found your message by pure chance and the comment re. the re-marriage to Richard Keyse was like a gift from the Gods!
I will continue with this line of research but would be pleased to hear if you have any news of her or her son
Brian

Susannah who?
by shepway , Sunday, March 16, 2008, 06:55 (6106 days ago) @ chivenor2002
The name of the bride was transcribed as follows:
IGI - HALLAWAY
GFHS Marriage Index - HATHAWAY
This website - HARTLAND
I therefore asked for the entry to be checked and this is the response of the transcriber:
"I looked at the entry 118 and this particular page is almost impossible to read but it definitely wasn't anything like Hartland or Hathaway or H anything. Anyway, after looking at the fiche with the light off and using a magnifying glass and despite the dozens of Hartlands there are in Dymock it still could be either but I have found a tail on the end of the name which leads me to think I was wrong and it is Hathaway on record 120."

21st October 1805 - Battle of Trafalgar, Nelson's victory over the French-Spanish fleet ended for good Napoleon's hopes of dominating Britain on the high seas, and was a turning point of the War. The threat of invasion over, Britain now began her fight to rid Europe of the French.
4th July 1806 - With British troops stationed in Sicily to prevent the French from invading, a daring attack was launched on MAIDA on the Italian mainland and for the first time since the revolution an army stood their ground and forced the French to flee. Although later to retreat to Sicily, this battle showed that the French were not invincible.
1806-1815 Sicily under British Administration
1812 Lord Bentinck (commander of British forces) forces introduction of a two-chamber parliament based on British model. Abolition of feudal privileges. Increase in Malvasia wine production to supply Nelson's fleet, based in Messina.
1815 Napoleon is defeated and the British abandon Sicily to the Bourbons.
