I have Thomas Jellamy in my tree. His first wife was Sarah Woore and they were married on 23.7.1806. They had three children - Thomas (17.4.1807), Margaret (9.1.1808) and Sarah (9.1.1808). Margaret and Sarah died on 13.1.1808, Sarah Woore on 26.1.1808 and Thomas on 9.4.1809.

Thomas then remarried Ann Lane on 5.5.1812 and they had a daughter, Ann (14.11.1814). They are my direct line via her marriage to John Merry.

Do you have any more information regarding the Jellamy connection?

Look forward to hearing from you.

"Goodridge"

I have Robert Woore's very faint conduct record from Tasmanian Archives which states he was tried at Hereford QS 27-6-1836 and his native place stated as "Goodridge" which I assume was Goodrich. He stated he was married with 2 children and that his "wife died since I was transported"

Thanks very much for the information slowhands - it would be interesting to find out a bit more about Robert Woore and what became of him. after he was transported.

The transportation records only show the court - Hereford and his seven year sentence.

Thanks very much for that information Lyn - I will make and note of it as it may come in useful. Do you know happen to have a record of where Robert Woore was from?

This may not be directly connected to your query but I noticed the Woore name and thought it might be worth posting this information.
Two of my ancestors Thomas Daniel and William Daniel both of Whitchurch were tried with stealing on the 27-6-1836 at Hereford Quarter Sessions along with co-accused ROBERT WOORE. William Daniel was found not guilty and discharged. Thomas Daniel and ROBERT WOORE were transported to Tasmania aboard the convict ship Blenheim arr.16-7-1837.

I wondered about a Will for James and/or possible for Ann who died in 1876.

On 1841 census James and Ann were at Yew Tree Cottage which is mentioned in an archive in the Hereford Records Office (ref L24/72 1809 - 1843) which contains 'attested copies of deeds for properties in Goodrich including Yew Tree Cottage belonging to Fletcher and Hill families and acquired by Sir Samuel Rush Meyrick'
Not sure what the significance of that is! Yew Tree Cottage, Goodrich ( if it is the same one) seems now to be the home of a photographer called Philippe Brevet.

On the IGI an LDS member has attached the surname 'Howells' to Ann's name for all of the following baptisms for children of James and Ann (all baptised at Goodrich)

Mary bapt 16/7/1809
Oliver bapt 2/7/1815 (extra notes are added to entry by LDS member re marriage and burial for Oliver)
Do these two come from James's marriage to Anne Howells in 1807?

Then there is a long gap - so the following seem to be the children of the younger Ann who is on the 1841 and 1851 census with James

Elizabeth bapt 7/6/1835 residence Copped Wood
Mary Anne bapt 28/1/1839 residence Huntisham Baptism at Goodrich
Eliza bapt 15/1/1843 residence Copped Wood

This is in addition to the 3 Howells baptisms for Henry 1828, Anne 1829 and Thomas 1832.

Interesting but not sure where to go from here! I would like to find the burial of James's first wife Ann Davies to be more certain that the James who married Ann Howells is the same one and therefore the one who is connected in some way to Martha.

Hi Rosemary,

I found 1861 Ann HOARE w 56 proprietor of house, Thomas 27 ag lab, Eliza 18,
Henry Styles? Vi 2? and then 1871 Ann HOARE wife wid 60, Thomas 35 lab, I wonder if proprietor of house means just pride or did James leave a will?

Yes I too also think Ann & Sarah married same day as sisters to Martha, checked bur and Anne Morgan bur 28-1-1853 74yrs, Thomas Morgan bur 14-8-1852 82yrs the 1841 has Thomas 70 ag lab No, Ann 60 Yes, 1851 Thomas 80 pauper & sawyer brn Tidenham Gls, Anne 75 Goodrich.

I've also had a look at some old homework and found:
Ann dau of James & Ann Hoare who died Cheltenham 21-2-1870 49yrs

James Woore who died 4-2-1853 77yrs the PR bur 8-2-1853 77yrs

Oliver Woor 2-7-1815 James & Ann Copped Wood Labourer not sure if this is bap or bur must have a look. It might be worth a check for a will?

A bit more to chew over, bye for now Pauline

Original thread

--------

Could these be the marriages of Martha's two surviving sisters Sarah and Ann both on the same day at Goodrich and possibly a double wedding -

23 July 1806 Goodrich
Sarah Woore to Thomas Jellamy
Anne Woore to Thomas Morgan

I have so far found the following baptisms

Thomas Morgan and Ann residence Copped Wood , Goodrich
Mary bapt 17/3/1815 Goodrich
Ann bapt 20/5/1821 ''

Thomas and Ann Morgan appear on the 1841 and 1851 census at Goodrich - I haven't checked the 1861 census.

Thomas Jellamy and Sarah (source IGI)
Sarah bapt 9/1/1808 Goodrich
Margaret bapt 9/1/1808 ''

Sarah appears to have died 1808 - 1812 as there is a second marriage for Thomas Jellamy widower to Ann Lane on 5/5/1812 at Goodrich.
