Re: Dickins/ens of Moulton and Old, Northants UK up to c1750

pwpriory — 2009-10-17 11:32:02Z

Hi,
As far as I know, John and Susannah had Thomas 1735 and Samuel 1720. The latter married Anne Brooks and they had loads of children including William 1751. He m. Ann Coles and they had a Samuel amongst others in 1785 who m. an Anne. They had a GEORGE amongst others, but in 1815 who, according to the 1841 census, was a tailor.I have no details about his children.
I'm afraid that is the only George I've got, but I will ask a contact.
Hope that helps. If you want more detailed info please contact me at fhpriory@aol.com
Best wishes
Paul

Hi,

I am afraid i cannot provide you with any of the information you are looking for at this time, but am wondering whether the descendants of John Dickins who married Susannah Manning and lived in Brixworth link directly to the George Dickins who was born in 1821, husband of Mary, who lived in Scaldwell nearby.
If you could fill this gap I would be extremely gratelful

John Dickins 1772-1851

Caliandris — 2009-03-09 10:53:31Z

Still searching after all these years for a birthplace for John Dickins born 1772. He was a soldier and farmer, and I have an enormous amount of information about him and his many children, mostly born/baptised at St John's Deritend, Birmingham, Warwickshire or Woodford Grange, Trysull, Staffordshire. These include my great-great-great grandfather George Dickins, baptized 1824 in Trysull.

His son Robert Archibald Dickins carried on farming in Trysull until his death in 1893. He had one son who predeceased him. Other members of the family - Francis Campbel Dickins, Henry Fowler Dickins, George Dickins, had multiple children, and I have details on them all.

Anyone have a stray John Dickins born 1772? The other areas he was associated with are Shropshire, Chelsea and eventually Forton in Staffordshire, which is where he died in 1851.
Thanks!

Re: Elsworth Dickins; his daughter, Florence L. Dickens, Davis

pacificforestflower — 2008-09-17 16:41:10Z

UPDATE

Florence L. Dickens father was Ellsworth but he went by the name Edward E. Dickens.

Edward worked for the RailRoad, Great Northern RR.

Annie Elizabeth Beird Dickens was Florence's mother.

Florence married Harry William Davis. I believe they married in LaValle, Wisc. That is where Florence was born in the year 1898.

Florence and Harry had the following children.
Leonard William Davis died and buried in OHIO.
Daniel Elsworth Davis died in Oregon.
Hazel H. Davis, married an Alfred Reule. They lived in Bismarck, North Dakota. Hazel is buried there, but Alfred is not. I think Alfred was buried in Washington State, where his son Ron Ruele was stationed, at or near Fort Lewis.
Harry Junior Davis, born 1928, is the only one still with us, all other children of Flo and Harry William Davis have passed on.
William John Davis passed on while living in Idaho. Uncle Bill was called "Willie" when he was a kid. I have a few pictures with that info.
August Isreal Davis was also called "Chuck" while serving in the Koreon War. Photos to this effect. Given name at birth was August Isreal Davis.

All children of Flo and Harry William were born in Miles City, Montana, except for thier first born. Elanor Davis was born and died in Lavalle, Wisc. on Dec 25, 1916 or 1917. She was born and then died on the same day.

Phillip Dickens also had a son George W. Dickens, born about 1823/ March, or Sept., depending on source.
This Geo. W. Dickens, Brother is Elsworth Dickens, yet Geo. W. Dickens also had a son Ellsworth E. Dickens. I decipher these two E Dickens' by spell the first one (Geo. W. brother)with one L, "Elsworth", and spelling Geo. W.'s son, "Ellsworth E.", the second one with two Ls. This E.E. Dickens is my great grandfather, he also went by the name of ED. Edward or E.E. Dickens(ins) married Elizabeth A. Bierd, July 3, 1881. This couple had a daughter, Florence Dickens born April 3, 1898. Florence married Harry Davis on April 9, 1916. Harry William Davis was born in Baldwin, WISC. June 20, 1890. This grandfather is my main focus at the moment.
Sometime between 1916 and 1920 they moved to Miles City, Custer Co., Montana.
I have a paper that says Harry Davis was from Madison, Wisc. Can anyone help me her with this.
I need a search for the birth of Harry William Davis. I need to know whom his parents were so I can follow back in time. I have been searching 20+ years.
Harry is, I heard from Ivy? that Harry is registered WWI. (I need to speak with IVY. IVY please email me.) jfkcrsd@yahoo.com (Where did that info come from and may I access it on the web? If it is available?)

Re: Elsworth Dickins; his daughter, Florence L. Dickens, Davis

pacificforestflower — 2007-03-07 16:25:14Z

well I just lost what I was working on, so here goes again.

On Florence L. Dickens Davis Johnson, born 3 April 1898, Wisc. Where In Wisc? Died Spokane, Spokane County, Washington 3 Nov. 1961. This Info and follow'g are from her Funeral Record. I go by the Cemetery so often that one day I stop'd and pick'd this paper up. I also have Grandma Florence's death certificate.

Her husband is list'd as Floyd Johnson, family phone #FA8-7475. Her father's name Elsworth Dickins. Mother Unobtainable, I have found out it is Elizabeth Anna Bierd/Beard. Florence was a housewife whom owned her home. This paper list the Doctor, the Clergyman, the cemetery, Fairmont of Spokane, WA. Other stuff about cost and what have ya.

At the bottom is the list of family members known. They are: Husband, Floyd Johnson, unknown. Daughter, Hazel Reule, Bismark, N. Dakota. Sons, William J. Davis, Spokane, WA., Harry Davis Jr., Spokane, WA., Daniel E. Davis, Astoria, Ore., Leonard W. Davis, Dayton, Ohio, August (I.)Davis, Miles City, Custer Co., Montana. Florence died 3 Nov. 1961, so that is where these people were in time. Funeral record also says Florence had been in the Spokane community for 20 years, since 1941.

1941 is about the time that Grandma Florence and Grandpa Harry W. Davis were Divorced? Harry Junior Davis, born 14 June 1928(Miles City, MT), my father, son of Harry W. Davis, born 20 June 1890 (in Wisc?).

I have Birthdays for all Children of Harry and Florence. but if Harry Junior Davis was born 1928, he would have been about 13 years old.

Old enough to be put into a boys school, in Miles City. Dad has told me. His Brothers too went in other directions, Daniel lied about his age to get into the Military, Leonard was old enough(how old did one have to be???) Hazel went to Helena, Montana to a girls school. (I have a letter from someone to Aunt Hazel when she was getting ready to Graduate, @ 1945?).

Would like to make connection with Leonard William Davis Family!!! of Dayton, Ohio?

Re: Dickins family crest

bankerbobssb — 2007-03-07 13:41:51Z

Thank you so much for the informative answer. I have cousins who also trace their name to Dickins but changed it, although they don't know the reason. They know Smith Dickins was the patriarch, and his sons changed the name when they formed Dickens Brothers LTD in London, which is still in operation today, run by Brian Dickens. I know back in those days it wasn't uncommon for the spelling of the name to change depending on who was writing it. I haven't been able to tie any of my family to a crest since I wrote that message, and find no evidence that they would have had wealth, estates, or position to have cause to have one. Thanks again!

Bob Dickins

Re: Dickins family crest

Caliandris — 2007-03-07 10:45:35Z

The Dickins family crest involves a swan. My grandfather passed to me one very old pre-postage stamp letter with this seal on the back.

The odd thing is that my family seem to have changed the spelling of their name to Dickens at the end of the 19th century in order to strengthen their claim to kinship with the author.

Charles Dickens meanwhile adopted the family crest without the least idea whether he was entitled to do so. He never proved the link he suspected with the Shropshire Staffordshire Dickins/Dickens family, and I don't think it has been proven to this day. There are a number of criteria for adopting a crest, which should be satisfied before you use it at all.

I am looking for information on Raymond DeWitt Dickins for a friend. He was her birthfather.

Felisha Kay Dickins was born 19 July 1969 in Humble, Harris, Texas to Elaine McDonald and Raymond DeWitt Dickins. She was the second child, the first was her brother, Guinn DeWitt Dickins, born 20 Feb 1968, also in Humble, Harris, Texas. There was a third child, a boy, probably born in 1971 or 1972. He was adopted by a different family than Felisha and Guinn.

Felisha is open to contact from Raymond, or another family member, if it is wished by Raymond, or someone in the family. She is extremely interested in family information, including any medical history that is available.

Felisha is now 37 years old with 4 children in N Central Texas.

Might you know anything about Elsworth Erastus and Elizabeth Anna? Where were the children born? Florence Lavina Dickens, thier daughter, my grandmother, Where might she have been born? The papers I have end with Florence on the bottom of the last page. It states her birth day as 03 April 1898. That is also stated on her death certif. Place of birth was unknown.
Florence married Harry William Davis on 09 April 1916. Where I would also like to know? How many times did she marry? Once I am guessing. They had eight children. Leonard, William J., Daniel, Harry, Hazel, August, and a Elanor May born and died 1917? in Madison, Wisc? Uncle Leon died in Wisc. Uncle Dan, Portland, Oregon., Uncle August died in Spokane, Wa., But buried in Portland, Oregon. Aunt Hazel died in Bismark, North Dakota. Uncle Bill (William John) lives in Bayview, Idaho, and my Dad, Harry Junior Davis lives in Spokane, Wa. That's seven kids by my count. Might you know of the eighth child?

VERY LONG SHOT
However - i have a Frederick Dickins b 21/03/1862 - Son of a William Dickins & Tabitha Witts.
He was born Marylebone London.
Possible connection - his brother was a Thomas Dickins who had a daughter named Matilda Elizabeth Dickins - Thomas died young of Pneumonia in 1889.
Interlink of names is my only logic for offering a possible connection.
Frederick is the only son i can't really pin down - if he had left London it might be why.
