More Certificates Received

2008-04-26T09:44:00.000Z

Elaine has sent me a wonderful collection of birth, marriage and death certificates relating to her father William and other members of her family.

These have helped to clear up a few "mysteries".

I am always extremely grateful for any certificates, pictures or other information anyone can send me.

Charles Bage Indenture 1808

2008-04-19T19:01:00.000Z

I have been lucky enough to acquire a vellum Indenure dated 1808 for the release of land in Leeds. What is significant in this is that amongst the names mentioned is a Charles Bage. This is actually the Charles Bage who is the son of the novelist Robert Bage. I know this becasue named alongside Charles are his buiness partners Thomas & Benjamin Benyon. What an interesting find.

A belated thanks to Colin who was kind enough to provide me with some certificates relating to Jane Bage b abt 1831 of Hougton Le Spring. The certificates were of Jane's marriage to Robert Appleby in 1849 and of her death in 1903.

As always information such as this is always very gratefuly received.

Happy New Year!!

2007-01-01T10:48:00.000Z

Just wanted to wish all my fellow BAGE researchers a very happy New Year!!

I hope it's a good year for resolving some of your genealogical problems. I have high hopes for this year for the BAGE One-Name Study. I'm hoping to get a lot more data on line. Last year saw the introduction of the searchable Civil Marriages for England & Wales and this year should see both Births & Deaths appearing also.

It's also about time for a re-jig of the website which will take place in the coming months. For instance the user forum has been a bit of a disappointment, I had hoped it would attract more discussion and so I may rethink my approach with this if it is not of interest.

Please do let me have your thoughts on what you'd like to see on the website.

Best wishes for the New Year to all.

Keith

Global Data

2006-11-09T13:19:00.000Z

It's possibly worth pointing out that the BAGE - One Name Study is actually a global study. As such that means that i am collecting all references to the name, no matter which country that might be. Of course I have amassed a large qty of references already so if your looking for anyone in another country i may be able to help. Of course i am always happy to receive information too no matter what the location.

Sheffield / Wadsley Bridge - BAGE's

2006-09-07T20:07:00.000Z

Geoff has been kind enought o send me lots of information on the descendents of William Bage (1808 - 1857) of Wadsley Bridge. William was married to Mary Ann Hobson (1809 - 1883) and they had seven children. If you have a link to the Wadsley Bridge Bage's please contact me.

Jospeh Young Bage

2006-08-10T11:16:00.000Z

James has been kind enough to send me some information on the family of Joseph Young Bage. Joseph was born 1874 in Newcastle (the son of Michael) but later in life moved south, living in the Stockton area. One of 10 children he was married to Mary Bulger.

I have started to investigate this family further (in addition to my current focus of the Bage's of Houghton Le Spring).

If anyone has any information to exchange on this or any other family please contact me.

Canadian (& Tynemouth) Bage's

2006-06-16T12:11:00.000Z

Margaret has been kind enough to send me a CD containing a wonderful family reunion video/slideshow. The video shows a great deal of photographs portraying her family based in Canada. Margaret herself was born and bred in Canada, but her grandparents originate in Tynemouth. This has allowed me to expand the Tynemouth Bage line and put many faces to names. My great thanks to Margaret.

Ollerton Bage's

2006-06-11T19:51:00.000Z

Today I took advantage of the good weather (and the fact that i happened to be passing) to visit Ollerton where a number of Bage's were known to live during the 1700's. I was able to get additional photographs of the grave of GEORGE BAGE and of St Giles Church. I also took several other photographs of the village including of what i'm told was the home of the Markham's. This was of interest because it was the Markhams who leased land to the Bage's during their time in Ollerton. I also visited the "working" water mill which was very interesting, with some good "old" maps of Ollerton .

John Cradock Bage

2006-06-09T13:45:00.000Z

This week has seen me gather a good deal of information regarding John Cradcok Bage of Stockton and his life (and family). John was a Board School Master from 1881 till 1914 when he retired. If anyone is researching John Cradock Bage and his family please contact me.

David has sent me some fantastic information on Hannah Davison Bage and her husband Robert Buston. This information includes a very detailed narrative as well as a tree with a number of photographs. I shall be checking these details against my own records over the next week and responding to David.

Eleanor Hockney (nee Bage)

2006-05-29T19:12:00.000Z

Thanks to Myrtle i have received a number of photographs of Eleanor Hockney (nee Bage) and family. Amongst these, were pictures of Albert Hockney, her first husband and children Ron & Bert. Some of the pictures were in need of some repair and i have been able to retouch these up to some extent.

William Bage & Mary Ann of Wadesley Bridge Area

2006-05-21T18:33:00.000Z

Lisa is searching for information on William Bage b. 1808. It appears he was born in Killamarsh, Derbyshire. Unfortunately i'm unable to find a baptism for him. The IGI does not have records for Killamarsh for this period. Parish records may have to be inspected locally to resolve this. I have contacted Tim also researching this family to see if he has any more info to offer Lisa.

2006-05-20T08:50:00.000Z

I have now updated the data on my website in the family tree section. There is still a great deal of work to do to get this up to speed but i will endeavor to make more regular changes from this point on. Please check out the family trees for new people.

Bage references for Hartlepool

2006-05-17T06:02:00.000Z

Grenville has been kind enough to send me a number of references to BAGE's in the Hartlepool area. These references come mainly from local newspapers (Northern Daily Mail) and burial indexes. This was particularly kind of Grenville as he has no connection with the Bage family.

2006-05-16T19:28:00.000Z
