I am researching Albert Percy Hack(1893) who is the son of Albert George Hack(1868-41) and grandson of Betsey Hack nee Taylor on Ancestry and have a WW1 Medals hint but can find no more information. On Fold3 even the information Ancestry has does not seem to exist. He was awarded the British War Med...

Thanks. I noticed when I was checking there is a ? against the marriage for Betsey and George. Ancestry has the marriage banns, they were married at St. Philips, Birmingham, Warwickshire on 11th November 1844.

Can the 1897 death also be added?

The earlier baptism appeared when I was doing a search on Ancestry. I don't know what the odds are of having two Richard and Charlotte Hacks with a child called George born around the same date.

I have been looking at George Hack (1825-) husband of Betsey Taylor and have found two baptism records, is this possible? There is one where he is baptized in Abbott's Morton (which matches Census information) as George Robert on 4th January 1828 age 4 years old with father Richard and mother Charlo...

I have just seen the topic has been archived. Is there any other way of finding Philemon on the Censuses. I know finding the marriage/Margaret's surname is impossible.

Yes 21st September 1819 matches the date in the Bible, he was born about 8.30 in the evening. I looked up half baptized and it definitely means that he wasn't expected to live so the family wanted him blessed in this case by Rev. George, Rector at Stoke Prior. They would then haven actual baptism la...

The family were all baptized at St Michael's not St Luke's. I think you may have the wrong Stoke Prior. It is the one in Worcestershire near Bromsgrove. Having just looked at the Family Bible again it actually says half baptized at Stoke Prior by the Rector Reverend George. The family were all eithe...

It's a shame the 1841 and 1851 Censuses haven't come to light, depending on how young they were on marriage, the children could have left home by the time of the later Censuses.

That is the information I found. As I can't find marriage information I wonder if they married in Scotland although I do wonder how they met.

Hi, welcome to the Forum

Thank you, that looks fine.

Thanks. Is it possible to add that Betsey was called Betsy Betsy in the Family Bible and also in Joseph's Will - the writing is quite distinct and I know all the other family members who have done Trees on Ancestry etc, some of whom I am in touch with, use Betsy. Obviously it needs to stay Betsey on...

Philemon is in the Family Bible and also in Joseph's Will written in August 1841. https://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tribe/browse?view=0&ver=653540&pid=156980&userid=bcconnections For some reason, even though he is the eldest although he receives the same amount of money as the others...

Thank you, that makes sense. I am wondering whether she was already calling herself Elizabeth when Joseph named her as Betsy in his Will as she was not at home when the 1841 Census was taken and I have been unable to find her elsewhere.
