Mr Pace,
Found your webpage whilst researching my own family tree - this page in particular - click here
I noticed that under the children of EDWARD PACE and EMILY CULLWICK you have "no info" next to THOMAS PACE (b1875). Well, he was my great grandfather who married a ROSE LLOYD in Walsall, 1907. They had several children including my grandfather, and the Pace family is still going strong and expanding in Walsall. My granddad used to tell us stories that he had cousin in Ohio. Now I think he was wrong and meant Ontario! Perhaps that's of interest?
Regards - Dr. R T (My mother was Pace!)

Hi Gord,
Have just found your wonderful site and wish to place on record my admiration! ! I am related to the Feckenham, Worcesterhire branch of this family .My great x5 grandfather was JOHN PACE. His son SAMUEL, born 1770, married MARY WOODWARD, born 1776 also from Feckenham. They wed on 7th january 1799 at Coughton, Warwickshire and I am descended from their daughter ANN. After seeing your hard work, it makes my 2 years research of my family seem pretty feeble! I can only dream of recording my tree as you have.An inspiration to us all!

Hello. My name is LPace and I have just come across your Pace website. Very interesting. My dad´s name was TEPace. He was a locksmith in Willenhall and Walsall Staffs. He married LT from Smallbrook, Birmingham. He was born in 1895 the youngest of six; five sisters. Annie, Ada, Clara, Winifred and Lavinia. and all of them (except Lavinia went to live in USA and Canada, Toronto and Sault Ste. Marie. Many of their descendants still live there. I and my brother Roy are the surviving children in the UK with other family members (I live in Finland) If anyone would like to get in touch with me I´d be happy to contact! Thanks very much for such an interesting site I will be delving deeper as time goes by. - atb Les Pace.

I've just started researching my family tree here in ENGLAND. I've only been at it about a month, but have got back to 1835 and ENOCH PACE's marriage to HANNAH WOOTTON in ETTINGSHALE, near WOLVERHAMPTON, Staffordshire (now West Midlands). His father was a THOMAS PACE but I have little information on him yet, except that I believe he was born in LANEY GREEN, Staffs. ENOCH & HANNAH's children all became locksmiths, keysmiths until my father broke the tradition.

THOMAS PACE from the 1881 census was living with his son RICHARD (aged 41) and his wife ELIZA and their children MARY J (aged 7) and STEPHEN(aged 13)

THOMAS also had my great great grandad ENOCH born circa 1833.

These are the names in my tree:

The following received from a Polish person who posted on the PACE Bulletin Board who mentions descendency from a PACE Engineer who had emigrated from England to Poland for the start-up of a steam engine manufactured in England and purchased by a Polish Industrial operation about 1830. I followed up with some research and found he was referring to a brother of my 3X great grandfather - 6 WILLIAM PACE - Chr 14 Jul 1765

Jacek writes in English, then has to switch to Polish to go further.

I'm looking any information, on JOHN PACE from BIRMINGHAM, born abt 1789 in England, died April 1831 in Bialogon Poland. He married Ann Tetley (Fitley), her dougther Mathilde Pace as christiansing in July 1817 Wedensbury.

September 04, 2005
Jacek, this is interesting, your JOHN PACE b JUL 1794 WEDNESBURY looks to be son of JOHN PACE b Oct 1761 SHARESHILL who was brother of WILLIAM PACE - Chr 14 Jul 1765 - my 3X great grandfather. They were sons of JOSEPH PACE - b 1 Feb 1735 LITTLE SAREDON, Staffordshire (Shareshill parish) my 4X gg/f. In JOSEPH's 2nd marriage, his PACE family went to BILSTON, adjacent to WEDNESBURY where your JOHN PACE was born 1794. His parents, JOHN & CATHERINE also had Christenings at BILSTON This JOHN PACE who married a Catherine (Elizabeth) looks to be brother of my 3X great grandfather. It's making sence. This JOHN must have followed his father JOSEPH PACE b 1735 to the BILSTON/WEDNESBURY area and carried on life there. Not a great distance anyway. Maybe 10 miles. Previously knew nothing of JOHN PACE brother of my 3X gg/f WILLIAM PACE b 1765 Until I read your posting. SEE PACE LINEAGE

If you look at this page, it'll help. I'll have a look for the marriage of JOHN PACE b 1761 SHARESHILL to CATHERINE. Maybe Catherine's surname was HARGROVE. probably where the JOHN HARGROVE PACE b 1794, got his middle name from.

September 05, 2005 John Pace, along with wife Ann, and children Joseph Founes - Pace and daughter Matilda, in the latter part summers 20, XIX century. Arrived from him also his Ludwika's sister Pace, which went out married for Joseph Kugler. Different mechanics along with was imported to Polski by duke Drucki - Lubecki to start metal factory in Biłogon near Kielc. Factory these had to be started in April 1831. before actuation factory, he got lost tragically, was drawn in by near steam-engine and he got lost. Wins over of aunts writes about this in one's remembrances.

1. John Founes - Pace our the great grandfather Białogon this wins over of the oldest factories metallurgical in Poland. Established in 1817 year on suburb Kielc by Stanislaw Staszic initially as foundry to melting the non-ferrous metals, and then the factory of Budowy of Machin, because the natural resource, which oneself Staszic he expected in neighbourhood, they disappointed. It machines hereinto were imported was factory from Englandi and to setting of their English arrived, and between them John Pace our great great grandfather. Dressed in some jacket with of the the time fashion the whether frock coat the modes of machine drew in for tail and he got lost. The board towards his memory was has built in on walls of factory which exists to today. Two of these English machines worked till 1956 year. The factory exists up to here, the factory of pumps, part of factory documents is in Archiwum at present in Kielcach. John he had son and daughter, which hid at Skarbków for some time, then hr. Skarbkowie gave wife - widow after John Pace, aswidow's pension, Mstyczów property and brick-yard. Son got Mstyczów, daughter went out married for Schirmer. Supposedly Schirmer, Helusia and they know Olek they interest them oneself genealogy and have message about family.

2. Z beginning XIX century the duke Xawery Drucki - Lubecki he imported to Poland the foreigners - the experts the aim of extension evolvent oneself the home industry. In 1826 year the engineer arrived from Anglii John Founes the Pace which was charged the device of mechanical factory in Bialogon under Kielce. He got lost tragically, drawn in through flywheel in eve actuation in 1831 year the plates shop new. His son he - Józef Pace - received from Russian government high damages, for which purchased Mstyczów in 1856 year from Leon Skorupka.

3. Aleksander Bocheński, Wędrówki po dziejach przemysłu polskiego, część II. IW „PAX”, Warszawa 1966. S. 360.

Tragical starting - spring 1830

Wolicki ordered and with this duty machines he arose pretty well. And despite this - just whether it it is not better from machines yet English technicians' personnel was: the engineer William Preacher from machine factory on Solec and mechanics: John Founes Pace and the William Mac Connol. If machines were so well tinned then then therefore, that they taught this our mechanics not only professional, but first of all reliable and conscientious work. Installation 27 machine tools and drills - just except English more far produced already factory on Solec - mechanic directed Pace. "The spring 1830 year - how Jan writes Pazdur - in eve of prospective arrival the comission from Warszawa, in persons Piotra Michałowskiego, the later famous painter and Leona Sapiehy, John recommended the Pace to raise the flood-gate to to make sure or the whole functions without accusation. Having noticed in time of movement the need of small correction, he approached to screw tight slack screws personally. They kidnapped cog-wheel him for jacket, and got lost on the spot.”

I over this grave will return in next report yet - because saddens me and angers, that nor Pace, nor so many of different dead the and carbon papers it near building and production did not it wait for it then the poetry, but just the beautiful prose which their memory would keep. Let's there nowlet's finish about these chapter first, what work dead they led still.

  • JOSEPH PACE - Chr 02 Jul 1758 SHARESHILL
    This JOSEPH may have emmigrated to AMERICA.
    Of five children, two died, including mother MARY EVANS in 1770. Three brothers survived, JOSEPH, JOHN, WILLIAM
  • MARY PACE - Chr 25 Jan 1760 SHARESHILL
    - bur 26 Jul 1763
  • JOHN PACE - Chr 18 Oct 1761 SHARESHILL
    This JOHN is likely the one in the left hand column who married CATHERINE. We do know that his father JOSEPH, married 2nd time MARY PITT and moved to BILSTON. Another researching descendent of the 2nd marriage lives in PITTSBURG,PA.USA and has sent me his detailed PACE ancestry which agrees with that of another cousin from WALSALL.
    + (possibly) Catherine (Elizabeth) HARGROVE
  • THOMAS PACE - Chr 29 Jan 1764 SHARESHILL - bur 22 Jun 1764
  • WILLIAM PACE - Chr 14 Jul 1765 - my 3X great grandfather
    buried William PACE - of Laney Green 21 May 1811

    + MARY BROWN - m 1 Nov 1785 bur 15 Nov 1800 - Laney Green
    dau of THOMAS BROWN & MARY REEVES of HAUGHTON - stepmother Jane JANE SLIN
Women often alternated between their primary & secondary Christened names, in this case I'd say Catherine & Elizabeth are the same mother. I believe this is part of my PACE ancestry going back to JOSEPH PACE Chr 1735 Shareshill whose 1st wife MARY EVANS died 1770; John's 2nd wife was MARY PITT 10 Jun 1771 I descend from the 1st marriage. The PITT surname is also popular in the SHARESHILL parish.

I'd be interested to learn about JOHN PACE's time in Poland. Maybe HARGROVE has a story to this also.


RICHARD PEACE/PACE in Cheshire
16/11/2005
Hi,
I`m trying to find the birth of a RICHARD PEACE or PACE in Cheshire about 1800 to 1803. So far I have the following,

RICHARD PEACE married JANE LEE in Hanmer, Flintshire on 31st December 1822. He was of "Wrenbury in County of Cheshire" They had a son RICHARD baptised in Hanmer on 9th March 1823. I have found Them in the 1841 census in Dodington Whitchurch Shropshire.

RICHARD PACE age 38
JANE " " 42
there are 4 children with them and their son RICHARD is working as a male servant a short distance away. The name has also changed from PEACE to PACE

1851 Census- They are still in the same village.
RICHARD PACE age 50 born in Wrenbury
JANE " " 54 " in Halghton Flintshire

The son RICHARD is 25 and working as a labourer for a nearby farmer. (This younger RICHARD is my Gt Grandfather and finally after 15 years of searching I have found what happened to him and his wife.

He married a MARGARET ROBERTS in Manchester in 1853 and my mother`s mother, Jane, was born in 1855 in Manchester. Until now I was only able to track JANE. In 1861 she was living with her Aunt in Threapwood Cheshire and Working in Malpas Cheshire in 1871. There was no sign of RICHARD and MARGARET. I found a RICHARD on his own in Manchester in 1861 but couldn`t prove he was `mine`

I have now found that his wife MARGARET died in 1860 back in Threapwood. It was `my` RICHARD in Manchester in 1861, he then moved to Monks Coppenhall near Crewe Cheshire and in 1871 married a MARY GREEN who was over 20 years younger than him. They had a family of 5 children which has never been known to our family. If only my mum was still alive to tell her.)

SO

I am now trying to find more about my GT GT Grandfather, hence my appeal to you in case you can help with his birth as stated in the beginning of this email. Thanks for anything you can help with

GEORGE HENRY ARCH + RUTH PENRICE 1867 to 1967

I have only recently started to research the ARCH family tree, and I was pleased to find the Arch's of Exall web site.
I offer the following information regarding George Henry Arch and his wife Ruth Penrice.(not Penrick) my grand parents.

George Henry Arch
Born 1867 in Bloxwich Died 23/07/1924 buried at Rycroft Cemetary Walsall Married Ruth Penrice 03/08/1896 in the Salem Chapel Wakefield (Yorkshire) in the presence of Joseph Hargraves, Walter F. Blanchard, Abigale Penrice and Annie Arch. (my grandmother-GTPace)

Vol. 9c Page 98
His Father William Arch & Mother Maria Mason born in Durham.

Ruth Penrice
Born 18/04/1873Halesowen Stourbridge Worcester.
Died 19/03/1967 buried in Rycroft cemetary Walsall.
Father Samuel Penrice, Mother Anne Gill.
2nd Husband James Amos Married 17/04.1928
They had two children.
Further family info considered private.

On page 4 of the web site the 1881 Census for William Arch is listed, and one of the four chilren is named Thomas aged 4. On 1881 census I have, there is a son William aged 7, it does not mention a Thomas. Do you know if they had five children. My mother said that she had cousins in Canada and we have found a photograph of three young ladies which may be them. She also said that our family was related to the Barford Arch, Joseph Arch founder of the National Agricultural Workers Union. Do You know if there is a connection and where it might be?
I trust the information above is of some use,
Regards and best wishes,
BP

I have, for some years, being looking for George PACE - father William brassdresser; George was 27 when he married on 3 March.1862 in St Georges church Birmingham .He married Rebecca Lucas SMITH her father John Smith a tailor . In 1871 they lived in Hospital Street, Birmingham with their children Jane ,Alfred, George ,Thomas.

I can not find them on the 1881 census. In 1891 George is with his daugther Annie in New Summer Street. She married Willam Sambrook on 22,11.1896 in Bishop Ryders church Birmingham.

I wonder as any one got any information as to George Pace's parents. He says he was born in Birmingham on the census. Any information would be grateful.

email - Vicki Pryce
Birmingham England

Hi Vicki,

I don't think I have a George on my pages that would fit. I've tried the 1851 census and the 1881, which is all I have, also some Warwickshire Paces, Tanworth in Arden, Warwick, Kenilworth, Barford.

George would be born about 1835.
Considering just the two addresses, and the church
George Pace obviously didn't move very far,
- between his marriage in 1862
- 1871 lived on Hospital Street
- 1891 lived on New Summer Street

Looking at the A/Z map, from 1871 to 1891
George moved around the corner, and New Summer Street runs into St. George Street, across Hospital Street.

Even though he doesn't show on the 1881 census, for whatever reason, I think it's safe to say George was probably in the area, the whole time.

I looked at the National Index for 1881 but that's no use if he didn't show on the census.
Next, I looked for a suitable THOMAS in 1881 census. one looks suitable, West Bromwich is close and this THOMAS is living in a HILL family, indicating some sort of family split.

I don't think the following is the right one but never know.

I'm familiar with this Pace family:
.The LIZZIE (Elizabeth) PACE nee HILL was actually married to a WILLIAM PACE.

From: George Brian Pope - gbp@onetel.net.uk

Gordon, In our local Free paper today there's an item about Thomas Pace convicted of sheep stealing in 1844, gailed for 10 years and transported to Tasmania. He was married to Ann (nee George) who followed him out to Tasmania with two children.

If its of interest to you I can scan the arcticle and photograph to send to you.
Brian POPE

Brian - of the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire - sent me the info and I gathered more on the GLS Paces, of which I now think my SHROPSHIRE PACES came from nearby WESTBURY on SEVERN. See - EARLY PACES in Gloucestershire

A descendent of the Gloucestershire Paces was also interested in those that went to AUSTRALIA and we were able to exchange some info and a TV Presentation included these events on The History Channel here in Canada. You can learn more about this PACE group at Paces of Gloucestershire & Australia

My husband's name is Mathers and his father is from Killileagh in Ireland. Apparently his great grandfather came over as a mill worker to the Linen Mills in N Ireland from Lancashire via Scotland and, as you probably know, there are hundreds of Lancs Mathers! So I'm stuck trying to track down his family!

I am trying to trace my Mother's family tree.
Her maiden name is KATHLEEN MARGARET PACE, born around 1919.
My grandfather, who died in 1958 was Captain GEORGE PACE.

My grandfather George Pace was, I believe, from Cork County in Ireland, he had four or five children the eldest was uncle Charles Pace(deceased). I am still trying to find more facts.

I received your details from Isabelle Newton.
You might be interested in my website click here - to go there

If you are in any way related to a Cotterell,
any where in the world,

click here - e-mail Stephen Cotterell of Brighton, UK
with your details and suggestions
as to how we can build a Cotterell community on the Web

I have a limited knowledge of my family background and am interested in finding out more.

My father was BRIAN SYDNEY COTTERELL

  • He died when I was in my early teens.
  • He had a half-Brother, Graham
  • and a full brother and sister, Cyril and Barbara.
  • Barbara married (moved to Sutton Colfield) and is now known as DAVIES.

I have lost touch with them all many years ago. It would be nice to make contact with direct and indirect family members. I have two brothers and sisters. Graham and Barbara are twins, Andrew and Caroline. They all live in and around Gosport and Portsmouth.

I was born on 2 July 56, I married Carole on 6 September 1980 and had our Daughter 12 May 1986 and our son Elliot on 29 March 1988. We lived in Luxembourg from the end of 1988 until late 1998 and early 1999 (I moved back later due to work commitments). The kids are multi-lingual (English, French (elliot is not so hot at this), German and Luxembourgish). We now live in Brighton on the south coast.

Stephen

"One of the unofficial rules of this mail list"
is that we would like new members to tell us who their Pace ancestors are and explain who they are looking for.

I am looking for my ancestors in England.
My grandfather was WILLIAM CHARLES PACE, born in Norfolk England in 1895. I know that somewhere along the line some ancestor emigrated to New York. American's seem to be far more interested in geneology than the Brits so I am hoping that when I make that connection someone will be able to give me details of that side of my family. I am currently collecting anything about any PACE's from England.

From "Brenda in UK"

My maternal grandmother
  • BERTHA MARIA PACE married a SAMUEL BIRCHALL
    who was a miner,
  • they lived in the Ashton Under Lyne area of LANCASHIRE
    which is on the outskirts of MANCHESTER
  • there was a FRANCES PACE
    who lived in Butt Lane, Mow Cop - KIDSGROVE, Staffs.
  • I remember going to see her way back in the early 1960s, possibly my mothers cousin or aunt.
  • There was also a transport cafe/ garage named PACE near ALSAGER, Cheshire
    that appeared to be linked, in some way, with the family.
  • My mother often used to talk about an area named Talke Pits.
  • I know of other distantly related Pace's
    around the CONGLETON area of Cheshire too.
  • I have also been told that my maternal great grandmother married twice, due to bereavement and took the name SHERRAT after PACE.

I was most interested to read what you said about the Shropshire Paces - it makes interesting reading - thank you!

I see you have a MASON and a PITT, by sheer coincidence I have both in one.

Martha MASON b Pinxton Derby 1885 married 20 Jan 1906 to Sydney John PITT b Bristol 2 April 1884. Martha was daughter to John MASON and MARTHA ? of Wolverhampton and Walsall respectively. Sydney John PITT was son of Thomas Burnett PITT and Ann CARPENTER his gfather was William PITT and Mary Anne BURNETT.

Doubtless, no connection, but casting bread on water sometimes attracts birds.

Subject: PACE Clockmakers of London
Date: Sun, 09 Apr 2000
From: geoff white

There were quite a few PACE clockmakers in LONDON.
The dates given are those which have been estimated by a study of known clocks.

  • Thomas - London, 1630 - 1662 member of the Clockmaker's Company
    - a trade guild which means that he could employ apprentices and other workmen
    - more accurate records for this Thomas will doubtless exist still with the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers

  • John - London. apprenticed 1720
  • Thomas - London (Whitechapel) 1784 - 1825
  • Henry - London (Whitechapel), early 1800s
  • Henry - London, 1832 - 1863 (this Henry may well be the previous one.
    The first is more a guesstimate)
  • Charles - London, 1839 - 1851, successor to Henry
  • Thomas - London 1828
  • Edmund - London, 1839 - 1844

    Some non-London Paces which may be interesting:

  • John - Bury St. Edmunds, 1825 - 1855
  • H. - Loughton, Essex, 1855
  • Hugh - Newry, 1865 - 1892
  • Thomas - Chelmsford, c. 1800

    Then it seems that some moved out:

  • Henry - Ottawa, 1875
  • Henry - Brampton, Canada, 1862
  • C, San Francisco, c. 1850

Hope this lot helps!

Hello Mallory,
I read your entry on the PICKENS cousins list.
Your grandfather, Walter Pickens came from East Liverpool, OHIO

By any chance was he one of the ENGLISH folk that came from the pottery district of the English Midlands, Staffordshire?

East Liverpool was also a pottery area in Ohio
and I know Staffordshire folk went there as well as Trenton, New Jersey.

My 6X great grandmother was an ELIZABETH PICKENS
who married GEORGE PACE at Ranton, Staffordshire 1708.

Just looking for some descendents. Any comments appreciated.

My maternal grandmother was ADAH PACE. Her family came from SUNDERLAND, Co Durham, UK. Some emigrated to NEW JERSEY in late 19th Century. I am tracing the family and have got back to about 1810 in Sunderland. Have details if they are of interest.

E-mail me, DAVE ELLIOTT if you are interested.

Regards, David Elliott, in UK


NOTE - In a previous letter
of Northumberland Pace researcher, Gil Raymond, in NZ, mentions:

...."a lady researching ROBERT PACE...(not another one!)...who married ELEANOR LYDIA SPRAGGON born 14 Feb 1814, Jarrow, Co. Durham) at SUNDERLAND on 8 August 1831.

I am afraid that is all the information that I have about this particular ROBERT. He does not appear to match any of my lot in NORTHUMBERLAND."

If any of your correspondents are researching this couple
I would be happy to pass on the address of this lady.

Whoever is researching
a ROBERT PACE and ELEANOR LYDIA SPRAGGON
(ref Ed Griffith's mail) is of great interest to me.

Robert Pace and Eleanor Lydia Spraggon are my direct ancestors
(3xgreat grandparents) and I have some info re Robert and descendants.

PACE seems to be quite an uncommon name, judging by the paucity of entries in the General Record Office registers. If I can be of assistance at this end please let me know - I have easy access to the GRO idexes and Probate indexes.

Kind regards

Subject: NELLY BICKNELL - MORRIS - PACE
Date: Wed, 6 Oct 1999 From: "john t. pace" pace@england.com

I am trying to trace the family of my great aunt, NELLY BICKNELL. She was born in Clerkenwell, London in the 1890s. Her dad was JACK BICKNELL. She had two sisters, and one brother, JOHN BICKNELL, (my grand dad). Her mother was CAROLINE ELIZABETH MORRIS. She married a Canadian serviceman during or after the first world war and moved to Canada. We think Ontario, around this time.

Her son Bobby served in the UK during the second world war when he contacted the family, but we have no way of knowing where her family now live. NELLY BICKNELL was her maiden name, and we have lost her married name, so her son BOBBY would have his dads name.

My mother, (NELLY) named after her, would dearly love to contact her Canadian cousins. if any one can help us, please contact me we would be very grateful.
