England & Wales 1841 to 1901 censuses loaded with some 1911

I have been working hard at extracting and loading E & W census records and they are mostly there for review.

There is a short-term problem on the Guild website but I expect that to be fixed soon.

Give it a try soon and let me know of any E&O you spot. Also contact me with any questions - I would be delighted to hear from you.

1911 UK census entries added and some for 1901

Though the 1911 E & W (England and Wales) census has been released, not all counties are yet available, where they are I have added these entries to the Archive.

You can search by name, year etc.

I'm working through the 1901 E & W entries now but have added the first batch.

Guild Archives - 1861 Census

In addition to the UK BMD's (Births, Marriages and Death) indexes that are available on my Guild Archive I have recently added the 1861 UK Census details which means you can enquire on an individual and see who was also present and where they were.

I plan to add other censuses entries progressively and if format permits will add US Censuses when I have finished the UK ones (England and Wales, no presence in Scotland as far as I am aware) - only 1841, 1851, 1871, 1881, 1891, 1901 and 1911 to go!

Brinsop, Herefordshire, Taxes and HenryVIII

From Wills and records of Taxes paid during the Reign of Henry VIII (1491 - 1547) we know that PYMBLE (sometimes spelt PYMBYLL) were resident in Brinsop and nearby Credenhill in the 15th Century.

Unfortuantely Brinsop Parish Records and Bishops Transcripts prior to 1660 do not appear to have survived and as a result we are unable to relate all of the named individuals one to another.

Waterloo Medal 1815

Waterloo medal roll 1815 database © Naval and Military Press Ltd 2006.

Regiment: 7th (or QUEENS OWN) HUSSARS
Last name: Pimble
First name(s): Chas

In the absence of other details I am not at the moment able to say where Charles originated. Do any PIMBLE family members have any family stories about such an individual?

1911 UK Census is released

I have downloaded the brief outline details of the PIMBLE / PYMBLE families who appear on the 1911 UK census to add to the others I have for 1841 through to 1901. I'm only selectively downloading the images at the moment in view of the high cost. However I do know the make up of each household so if you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

One of the few images I have downloaded is the PYMBLE family at 18 Perseverance Road, Hereford. This includes Frances James subject of my last posting to the blog.

Lest we forget - Lance Corporal Francis James PYMBLE

Leonard John PIMBLE & Alice PIMBLE nee Greenwood

Did Leonard & Alice both born in England but who emigrated to the US and married in 1918 have any children? and are there any surviving relations? If so I would love to hear from you. They were living in Hartford, Connecticut in 1930.

New website available

I have decided to release the new website, it contains more up-to-date information than the previous version.

Still a lot to do to make it fully functional but please feel free to take a look.

Make a name enquiry and you'll be prompted to sign up for an account.

Elinda Bond PYMBLE

Elinda was married in Nelles, Rainy River, Ontarion, Canada in 1912 having emigrated from the UK in 1912. She married Arthur John HOWELLS. I need to establish where they met but suspect that Arthur was a local man to Ross-on-Wye in Herefordshire.

I wondered if the are any HOWELLS relatives who might have a photo of Elinda? - would be great to see it!

Hit by Spammers

I have had dozens of comments being added to the blog all unsavoury. As a result I have had to change the settings such that only members can add comments - sad old world! Becoming a member is easy and free just needs you to send me an email.

New website delayed

Some time ago I expressed an intention to generate a new website. I'm still intending to do so however events have overtaken me and it will probably be the New Year before it becomes live.

In the meantime if you have an interest in the name please feel free to contact me.

Long overdue update

Time flys as they say.

I've been aware that I have not updated this recently but the last entry date surprises me. Anyway please don't take this me lossing any interest in the study of the PIMBLE / PYMBLE name.

I'm in the process of transitioning to a new website which I hope to have available over the next weeks. I will place a link here as soon as its available.

DNA project - update 30 July 2006

One more set of test results received for Arthur and these do not show a match with any of the other three PIMBLE / PYMBLEs tested so far. That gives us two that match and two others with no match.

We are really anxious to get more sign-ups to the project. If you are willing to volunteer please contact me. We would be delighted to hear from you.

New PYMBLE addition

The latest addition to the PIMBLE / PYMBLE clan (unless you know differently) born Feb 2006 in Australia, is Harrison. My Congratulations go to his parents.

Edwin & Ann PYMBLE married 1877 died 1895 and 1894

Edwin died aged 46 and wife Ann died aged just 35, leaving 7 children the youngest aged 2. The family were inevitably and tragically split up.

The three boys all served in the British Army during WW1 and unfortunately were all seriously injuried with one dying of his wounds in 1918.

Of the 4 girls, I knew something of two of them but of two others I had nothing as I'd been been unable to find any marriage or death records.

Within the last week I have been contacted by Brenda in South Africa. I know now that the two 'lost' girls emigrated to South Africa in the early 1900s. This explains why I was unable to find more detail in the UK.

Thanks to Brenda's co-operation I now have a clearer understanding of the family and their descendants who now live in South Africa, in US and one back working in the UK. THANK YOU BRENDA.

Hopefully the descendants have also gained from this interchange as I have been able to provide them details of their ancestors.
