ISSN:0835:6734 WHITLOCK FAMILY NEWSLETTER

47644 Forester Road Subscription $10.00(£4) per annum Tel:604/824-7450 Vol.17 No. 4 RR#2, Sardis, B.C. Renewable January 1st Published: Fax: 604/824-4303 Dee 1998 CANADA, V2R 1B1 Mar Jun. Sep. & Dec. Email: [email protected] Page 1 Web site http://home.pix.za/dw/dw000002/whitass/index.htm

December is past half gone and I am just writing the last of the Newsletter!! Seems to have been the story all year this year. I managed to take some holidays in September and Patrick and I spent three weeks in and Ireland. As usual I did not get to see half the people I had hoped to but did try to talk to quite a few people on the telephone. Did manage to do a bit of research while having a wonderful holiday.

I was able to acquire several items of interest while in England and Ireland. I did find some elusive Guinan ancestors in Ireland which I was very pleased to find. In England I made copies of some of the Guildhall wills which added to that collection. I found a couple of Ralph Whitlock's books and was able to get copies of the portraits of Sir Bulstrode Whitelocke (1605-1675) and his father Sir James Whitlock (1570-1632) from the National Portrait gallery. I also brought back the forms for people to request copies of these through the mail if they wish to.

I met with Robert Whitelocke Fountaine in Hertfordshire regarding the chart (R1926) showing his descent from Roger De la Beche circa 1200AD. Mr. Fountaine has had quite a bit of correspondence resulting from his letter in the Saga magazine. He made a copy of the chart for us and promised to pass on any queries for additional information.

One thing I was not able to do while in England was to view the restoration work being done on the Whitlock Memorial at Fawley in Buckinghamshire. For new subscribers this is the tomb of Sir lames Whitlock & his wife Elizabeth Bulstrode who died in the 1630's. The Whitlock Family Association raised several hundred pounds towards the £10,000+ cost of restoring the tomb. We actually went to Fawley on our way back from Windsor Castle but we had not been able to pre- plan the visit and the Church was locked. I will be following up with the Fawley Parish Council to get an update on the repairs. Needless to say I have not been able to catch-up yet with the stack of mail that built up while we were away. Spare time seems to be at an ever increasing premium these days. On a personal note, for the next while I am going to serve as Interim General Manager for the company I work for and it is going to mean I will be back to doing quite a bit of travel again. This is going to mean a further cut in family history time. This is on top of the changes I made following the separation from my wife in 1996 and the increase in volume due to the Web Site. Hopefully it will just mean more delay in response time and I that I will be able to keep up with the enquiries and requests for information. As many of you know I am only 49 so retirement is a few years off yet so can't count on that either. Please take this into account if the reply to your email or letter is not as timely as you are used to. Patience is a virtue.

For this issue of the Newsletter I have had to cut the mail off in mid November so quite a bit of information has been delayed until the March 1999 issue. One of the highlights of this issue is the collection of Hampshire wills (R1911-R1925) sent in by Frederick J. Whitlock. The wills are modern but many filled in several blanks. Most relate to the Pitton, Wiltshire families.

I was interested to see the advertisement by the Whitlock Realty Co. (R1929) sent in by Andrew Whitlock. The details about the Whitlocks of Wokingham, Berkshire coat of arms from 1592 (R1935) sent in by Marianne Whitlock, indicates the arms were issued to the Richard Whitlock who left for Prussia in 1580 as he is the only Richard son of Richard at this time period.

The unreleased birth and marriage information (X2698-X2699) sent in by Valerie Anderson added quite a bit of new information to our files and enabled me to connect quite a few families together. The letter from John R. Whitlock (X2700) about the Cracker and Heaman families added great new detail to the collateral lines of the , families.

I was very interested to see the detail from Lawrence Otis regarding the Witlox families of London, Ontario. The family was apparently Dutch so will be interesting to see if we can

' Mary Maxfield's data on the Whitlocks of St.Martinsville, Louisiana who were involved in the early settlement of Texas (X2740-X2741) added interesting new detail to that part of the family. There were several proud grandparents and great-grandparents keeping us up to date on the latest additions to their families. Thanks to Maisie Whitelock of Hornchurch, Essex plus Sara Smith of Oxford, Mississippi for information on new grandchildren. Also to my sister, Necia for the first great-grandchild in our part of the family!! Not sure how happy I am a being a great-great- Uncle!! Welcome to new subscribers and our thanks to everyone who contributed material to our files this year. It is your information that builds our collection and is shared with others. The amount of information that continues flow in is huge and hopefully we have been able to help many on the trail to finding their ancestors. Louise Birchfield continues to work on entering all the pre-1800 references to the Whitlocks of Virginia in a file. As I get a chance I forward the next section to be added. The file has been sent to several working on the Virginia families and it is already a primary resource tool. Our census collection continues to grow and be a very useful tool for researchers. Our goal for 1999 is to add the complete 1881 census extracts that have been released by the Latter Day Saints Church. This will give us the same type of source for Britain that the 1900 US census is for America. These records are available at most Family History centres but we are going to require some volunteers to collect copies together. If anyone is wilhng to take on a county please let me know and I will let you know which counties are still to be done. Updates to the Marriage Register have been accumulated since the last page was attached to the Newsletter. I will publish them from time to time. The Birth Register WIllcontinue with the 1999 Newsletters. The aim is to eventually print these collections separately as sources for researchers. For the time being they will attached to the back to each issue of the Newsletter. Enclosed with this issue of the Newsletter is a financial statement for 1998 and a renewal form for 1999. The cost is held at $10 (£4) per year and I hope you will be able to continue your support for the coming year. There has been some confusion regarding paying with British stamps. I can still use stamps if it is more convenient for you but were we getting too many so I am asking as many as possible to .ray by personal cheques in sterling. Please remember to make cheques payable to Peter WJutlock. Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for the New Year.

Vol.17 No. 4 Dee 1998 Page 4 EDWIN WHITLOCK OF MILTON MALSOR, NTH

Iris Welford of , England is trying to track down Edwin the son of Thomas & Prudence (Palmer) Whitlock (MI833) of Blisworth, Northamptonshire. Edwin was born in 1845 in Blisworth. He married Avery Ann Elliott December 30, 1868 in the neighbouring village of Milton Malsor, Northamptonshire at which time he is listed as a Blacksmith of Milton Malsor. In 1866 Edwin is a witness at the marriage of his brother Samuel to Emily Alice Ayres at Blisworth. He has not been found in the 1871 census. Edwin is thought to have emigrated to America and there is an Edwin Whitlock on the 1880 census of Pareola, Woodford Co., Illinois, U.S.A. He is age 35 born in England. While there is no proof this is the correct Edwin it seems likely. There is no Edwin Whitlock in the 1900 census of Illinois. If anyone has additional information that might give a clue to what happened to Edwin Whitlock I am sure Iris would be very pleased to hear from you.

Whitlock Family Newsletter Vo1.17 No. 4 Dee 1998 Page 8 eRAS & DOREEN WRITLOCK In 1970-71 ~ spent a ye~r living in England and made contact with a Cockney couple, Chas & Doreen Whitlock who lived III Bethnal Green, London. They did not know a great deal about their Whitlock ancestors but were very interested to find they had distant Canadian cousins. We visited several times and on subsequent trips to England always tried to keep in touch. I always regretted not taking them up on their offer to use their caravan at Clacton-on-Sea!! Chas & Doreen were very generous and always interested in the latest Whitlock activities. They were also very proud of their sons, David and Paul and kept us up to date on family events. Unfortunately over the years I moved several times and eventually lost contact with the family. You can imagine my surprise to receive emails from California within a few weeks of each other, first from Paul Whitlock and then his daughter Samantha. It did not take long to determine that they were the son and grandson of Chas & Doreen Whitlock. I was very pleased to hear that the grandparents were doing well and were to be arriving in America for Christmas and that they would pass on my good wishes. I must have been at this a long time when I a start making contacts with grand-children of some of my original contacts!! As I mentioned to Samantha I still do not know much more about this family than the detail that Chas & Doreen gave me in the early 1970's. Samuel George Whitlock had children Esther b.1880, Fred b.1882, James b.1884, Sidney b.1886 and Samuel George b.Sep.18, 1888. The latter was born in Western Street, London. He married Mary Ann Holton at St.Jarnes Church, Dockhead, London in 1909. There were two children Samuel George Whitlock and Charles William Whitlock (Chas). The first Samuel George Whitlock was in the Regular Army - regimental Sgt. Major, The Royal Hussars. He died at Chelsea Barracks. I am hoping the 1881 census for London will give us additional details and we will be able to work back from their. Great to make contact again - hopefully we will be able to bring the family up to date and add more details.

The documents were from the 1400's and mentioned several WhitIocks. Mark WhitIock of Dawlish, Devon has now sent us some extracts from these documents: 1. 28/1/1427 At .

Our thanks to Mark Whitlock for extracting these items and passing them on to us.

This article summarises some of the ideas I have passed along over the years. The first recommendation is always to recheck our own files if it has been awhile since you asked what we have. There is a constant stream of material coming in and I do rely on those interested to watch the Newsletters for items of interest. I will copy items and pass them on if I notice when I am cataloguing that the item is something a particular researcher was looking for. With over 80 lines to keep track of and several hundred researchers I do not always make the connections I should. I can easily check what you have been sent to the list of sources shown on the family card for the person you are interested in and make copies of new items that have come in. Next I suggest trying to track down the "local expert". There is a "local expert" on almost everything. The Internet is becoming a particularly useful tool for this purpose. Remember the local libraries and Historical Societies. They won't do research for you in most cases but they can normally pass on the name of a "local expert". Most Counties or Towns have had some sort of history written about them and people have gathered together a great deal of information to put together those publications, not all of which gets included in the final book. There are experts on Military records, down to particular battles your ancestor might have participated m. There are experts on ships that your ancestor might have travelled on. An expert on silver helped me pin down the likely owner of some Whitlock silver a few years ago. You never know... When all else fails you may wish to ask for some professional advice. There is nothing like trying to summarize and explain your problem to someone else to crystallise a likely avenue of research!T Some years ago Chuck Rockett funded the extracting of the complete 1900 US census. This 479 page addition to our collection has been a primary source that we use constantly to assist American researchers to get started on the trail of their ancestors. The lady who did the work was Nancy Waterhouse, 1109 Loch Lomand Way, Salt Lake City, Utah 84117-4976 (Nwaterhouse@utah- inter.net). Nancy has assisted many researchers to get over their "brick wall". If you are considering professional help it is useful to consider several with proven records. Nancy is certainly one. One additional option that proved successful in the past is to canvass an area using the local telephone directories. This is not so easy these days as many do not include postal addresses but City Directories can be used to fill some blanks. Some years ago Margaret Cohoe of Kingston, Ontario got together with Adrienne Campbell of Alice Springs, Australia and canvassed all the Whitlocks and Whitelocks of Australia. They had very good response and the results of their work are now a part of Peter Whitaker's terrific collection on the Whitlocks of Australia and New Zealand. We can provide letterhead and questionnaire forms for this type of project and will assist in drafting a letter for you. More recently Mr. Fountaine of Hertford put an ad in the Saga Magazine regarding his Whitlock chart and is probably still receiving letters from people interested in their Whitlock ancestors. Hopefully this has given you some ideas of what to try next. Good luck.
