Looking at this document I wonder if someone is missing, under:
'David Turley and Mary Brace Beakley had the following children:'
I believe there should a Ethelina Rose Turley born 21 Sep 1887?

It does look as if Sarah Liddington who as Sarah Worgan married John Liddington 1830 in 1853, died in 1869 aged 39 (burial at Lydney Dec 5th 1869). Can see John 1831 in the 1881 Census as a widower but but no sighting of him or his children in the 1871 census.
The reference to a John Liddington at an Industrial School parallels similar references in my own family's history, these schools were used for boys needing control and were probably the precursor to the Borstal Institutions

Does anyone know if Lords of the Manor as such were still around in Blakeney/Viney Hill in 1894, and if so who they were?

I have a feeling that the Crown was technically "Lord of the Manor" however I suspect we should be looking towards Clanna and its occupants (Walter MARLING?) or maybe the Bathurst/Bledisloe's at Lydney Park.....

Lily STERRY nee TURLEY 1895 (reply)

peteressex — Mon, 28 May 2012 05:58:06 +0000

I now have double confirmation that Lilian (Lily) Sterry nee Turley on page 38 of the Turnpenny link is correctly described there as having been the daughter of Emily Turley, single mother.

The baptism on 24 March 1895 at Viney Hill is shown in this site's parish record transcriptions with Emily as mother and no father stated, but I also have it from one of Lily's living descendants that Emily was indeed Lily's mother. Moreover according to family lore Emily was impregnated by the Lord of the Manor. If so, the baptismal record might imply that the exerciser of this belated Droit de Seigneur was a bit bashful about it.

Does anyone know if Lords of the Manor as such were still around in Blakeney/Viney Hill in 1894, and if so who they were?

BEAKLEY/TURLEY + BEAKLEY/EDWARDS (reply)

peteressex — Sat, 26 May 2012 08:00:51 +0000

I might have known that as soon as the name Turley appeared I would emerge connected to this research, given the copious procreation involved. Those involved in this research may therefore be interested in the tree's further proliferations.

Towards the bottom of page 3 of the relevant link, http://www.turnpenny.info/Images%20(11)/Turley.pdf Edward Turley marries Mary Ann Sterry. She was a daughter of William Sterry and Ann nee Shaw, who were my gt-gt-gt-grandparents up my father's mother's line (where the spelling later became "Sterrey".)

There is some margin for interpretation and speculation, but I have it that Edward Turley and Mary Ann nee Sterry ran up 13 children. I haven't traced any of them there Turleys down the line, but it appears they managed a mere 4 girls and that their boys were, in order of appearance, William, Richard, Edwin, Charles, John, Thomas, David, James and possibly Frank.

You can hardly be surprised that eventually Richard Sterry (1879 Lydney - 1952 Tutnalls), a gt-grandson of William Sterry and Ann nee Shaw, and himself the second of 12 children, married a Lily Turley, of Old Furnace at Viney Hill. (This was his second marriage, but Richard by somewhat feeble comparison only appears to have begotten 10 children in the entire course.) I have Lily's father as John Turley whose wife's first name was Elizabeth. It would be fascinating if we could show that John Turley as identical with the John who was among the 8 or 9 sons of Edward and Mary Ann. The birth dates are viable - John born 1853 and Lily (from memory) 1894.

Descendants of Richard Sterry and Lily nee Turley, and of other Sterrys/Sterreys, continue to occupy stretches of Lydney, Whitecroft and Bream, whilst the conventionally traced head of this particular Sterry tree is Richard, birth date and place untraced, who married Ann Toomey (or similar) at Minsterworth in 1794. However, a recent DNA sample from a living Lydney Sterrey has proved a blood link to the more ancient Sterrys of Longhope, with a link thus to the mid-1600s. The golden egg would be proving a link to the most ancient of all known Sterrys, who were around at Ruardean in time for one of them to marry there in 1539, but, despite the geographical proximity, even DNA has yet to make that connection.

I started rambling too early on a Saturday morning and think I have now seen an answer to the John Turley connection by reading on a bit. Page 38 of the turnpenny link http://www.turnpenny.info/Images%20(11)/Turley.pdf appears to refer to the relevant Lily as Lilian and as the daughter of Emily, and indicates that Lilian was the grand-daughter of John Turley and Elizabeth (surname now seen as Morse) and not, as had been supposed, their daughter.

"Foreigners".... unless they be from the Vurrest !.

But they're not (quite) as bad as the rest of the world ! ;)

Joking aside, good question and no idea.... be nice to know.

Gloucester itself apparently is from Glowancestre, (1282), derived from the Anglo-Saxon for fort (Old English ceaster) preceded by the Roman stem Glev- (pronounced glaiw). In Old Welsh, the city was known as Caerloyw, caer = castle, and loyw from gloyw = glowing/bright.

So the original city of "bright lights" perhaps.

Hi Carol,
glad to know we've been a help, especially now you've got MPG on your side, a true star !. After months of rain here we're suddenly suffering a crazy heatwave, gone from very cold to very hot in 2 days !:- I guess very similar to your leaving Llanishen for Oz, bet you miss all that rain..(NOT!).

Re your difficulties of working so far away, you're very fortunate you're researching the FoD; in my experience this site is one of the very best free websites for any area of the UK, and like you it's based Down Under.

These other free websites are also strongly recommended to help your researches both in Glos and further afield, as MPG has been pointing to in her reply.

Hi Carol, welcome to this great forum and website !
Can you be more precise as to what you wish to know, or already know, thanks. I ask as a quick look at this site's Parish Records shows there are 338 for "Liddington" and it's spelling variations (tick Soundex box when searching), almost all of which are in Lydney parish (which may explain why it's a new name to me, with me being from t'other end of the Forest). Have you lookedup these ?.

Also via this site's Homepage you can search for Census Records, Memorial Inscriptions, Old documents such as Wills, Old Photos, etc etc; there's so much that may be of interest. Finally this Forum is itself a great source and is also searchable, see box at top right. That said the only hits seem to refer to people from out of the Forest in Wiltshire, unusually no-one seems to have researched this name before ?.

Searching the Old Photos gives:

Searching the main site gives this old query, a relation of yours perhaps, given the timing I guess you may be from out of the UK ? (which is fine, of course).

"I am looking for the name of Liddington in Lydney,Gls.
Especially the descendents of Isaac and Ann (nee Carter),both born near Malmesbury Wilts, and came over the border around 1850. My grandfather was their son,John,born 1856 in Lydney. Many thanks.

Also Thomas Liddington in the 1879 Trade Parkend Directory, a shopkeeper.
