Find Ancestors

Hi

I'm trying to find any information on the Loseby / Pedge family. I'm very interested to see if I can find the link between the Tate Loseby side and Edward T Loseby b. 1817. Edward was a clockmaker and made the clock tower in Leicester. I'd appreciate any help please I'm not doing too well with this.

Coincidentally (or maybe not?) Edward Loseby was mentioned in this week's episode of "George Clarke's Old House, New Home " on Channel 4. Edward had lived in a house which was being renovated in the programme.

Can you give us as much info as possible, please - what do you know already?

For helpers' reference:

Thanks for your messages. Yes I saw that on the programme and it sparked me off to look into it. My mum told me that a Loseby in our family was a clockmaker and the name rang a bell with her, although we have no further information. Tate Loseby is my great great grandfather. I think that Edward had a brother called Amos too which may or may not help as it is an unusual name. There are so many Losebys that I'm struggling to find a link. Is there any other information which would help

What makes you think Amos is an unusual name??

It was a biblical name that was very commonly used in many parts of England in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Quite a few items relating to Edward, Clockmaker on google search...

(who is Father of Tate?, looking at 1871 a Joseph, so you need to work back from him, not sure they would be connected to 'other' Loseby's though, you would need to get Wills to find all names)

I've already posted 1841 showing Joseph Loseby (Tate's father) with his parents Richard and Sarah.

Here they are again in 1851:

Richard Loseby

(apologies there AG, was doing a 'quick job' of things earlier!)

Seems 'big' Edward, had Edward T, Henry Edgar and Amos, as 1861 posted, Father Edward occ. Watchmaker/Silversmith)

(not sure if you heard from Diane!)

If there is any connection between the families, it must be very far back. There's no matching of places of birth .

Edward T's father Edward was born in Coventry, Warwickshre, per 1861 census.

Probably his baptism:

Edward Loseby
in the Warwickshire, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials, 1535-1812

Name: Edward Loseby
Baptism Date: 23 Feb 1785
Baptism Place: Baginton, Warwickshire, England
Father: Thomas Loseby
Mother: Mary Loseby


And his marriage:

Thomas Gimpson Loasby
England, Warwickshire Parish Registers
Name Thomas Gimpson Loasby
Event Type Marriage
Event Date 14 Oct 1776
Event Place Holy Trinity, Coventry, Warwickshire, England
Gender Male
Spouse's Name Mary Daniel

His middle name makes me wonder if Arthur James Gimson, who was one of the executors of Edward T's Will might be a relative of some sort.


Tate Loseby's father Joseph, however, was born in Seagrave, Leics., and his father Richard in Billesdon, Leics.
