Help in looking for information after adoption

Hi
I been asked by a relative to see if I can help him find any information to add to the little he knows,
he and three sisters were put into Barnardos when very young,
His Mother ;
Alice Mcnamara b7 Jan 1925 Liverpool
children whom went into Barnardos
Robert Mcnamara 28 May 1949
Sandra McNamara 1950ish
Kathleen McNamara 15 Feb 1951
Margaret Thwaite dob ?
I can see two families on Ancestry with connections with names Robert has mentioned, he says in the earlier years it was mentioned she had a partner or married a Keating who was said to be like a step father to him as he does not know who his father was nor did Sandra and Kathleen...
Margaret was born in to her 2nd husband William Thwaite Not sure if she went into Barnardo's...
I can see on ANcestry two families one with Thwaite mentioned and one with Keating they both have connections with Australia...Step dad emigrated to Australia , seems these two trees may marriage up somewhere along the line as Robert knows bits of info from both trees...he said William Thwaite came into the family after Keating had left for Australia ...there is no mention of Robert or the siblings in either tree...can anyone help to see if these two tree's do join together, I have only the information I have given you...His Mother did Marry William Thwaite in Liverpool in 1956 aged 31 yrs.

Surrey Electoral Rolls 1832-1962

Ancestry has extended/updated/added some early records to these:

Surrey, England, Electoral Registers, 1832-1962

The transcriptions are a bit odd - e.g. my grandmother has acquired Flat as one of her forenames, as has her brother who lived in the same block. However, I now know the address of the place we lived in in Farnham when I was 6 or 7.

Ancestry has launched the Oxfordshire records today (actually they were on yesterday.)

I know what I shall be doing this weekend!! I can begin to track down all the people who aren't on my CD/fiche collection of indexes and best of all - I can look at the images. More than 50% of my maternal ancestry is in the county so will be busy for a while. :clap:

So thrilled, I have to share it!

jeudi 29 septembre 2016

Back in 2014 I made contact with another living Curtin Descendant on Ancestry. We swapped what little information either of us had, but couldn't find a connection. He had a Bartholomew Curtin in his family tree and so did I, a brother of my uncle Tom Curtin whe married Dinah my Mum's sister.

We made contact again just a couple of weeks ago to see if we had made any progress on the Curtin family. I decide to give him a name and address out of my late Aunty Dinah's Address book. "Mrs B. Curtin 'Hillgrove' 189 Swords Road Whitehall Dublin." This was Bartholomew Curtin and his wife Elizabeth aka Betty's new home that as a young man he 'helped' to build! However, we still didn't know what the connection was between my Aunty Dinah's husband's family and his. I knew that my uncle Tom' Father was also Thomas and they were both Carpenters

1901 Ireland Census
Residents of a house 9.2 in Church Street (Caher, Kerry)

Thomas Curtin 28 Head RC Co. Kerry Carpenter
Catherine Curtin 35 Wife RC Co. Kerry Housekeeper
John Curtin 6 son RC Co. Kerry
Mararet Mary Curtin 5 dau RC Co. Kerry
Thomas Curtin 3 son, RC Co. Kerry
Michael Curtin 1 RC


1911 Ireland Census
Residents of a house 44 in William Street (Listowel Urban, Kerry)

Mary Curtin 53 Head RC, Co. Limerick, House Keeping Widow
Katherine Curtin 20 Dau RC, Co. Limerick, Domestic Servant, Not Married
Margaret Curtin 26 dau RC, Co. Limerick, Domestic Servant, Not Married
Thomas Curtin 18 Son RC, Listowel, Co. Kerry Carpenter Unemployed.

My contact's Curtin family also lived in Co. Limerick as well as Listowel Co. Kerry. We now have proof that his Grandfather was John Curtin born Listowel, 1864-1933, the eldest of 11 children, who married Ellen Chute. My uncle Tom's father, Thomas Curtin born 1882 Listowel, is the yougest sibling of John Curtin.

Foud a lot of Birth Certificate details on line now too, which is Absolutely Fabulous!;D
So thrilled, I have to share it!

Alexandria, Egypt during 1940s

Hello,

It has been a while since I last requested information concerning an address in Alexandria but maybe someone new may be able to offer some advice .....

During the 1940s 41 Rue Aly El Leisse, Alexandria, Egypt was occupied by a family named Shama/Sciama.

I would so much appreciate any information, help or advice concerning this area of Alexandria or the family in general.

Thank you in anticipation ...

Kind regards
Sue

Different line now! Trying to find Mary Ann Elizabeth Ebbsworth before she marries one of my 3 x great grandfathers! On the first census they are on together in 1891 she is down as being born in 1869, Blewbury, Berkshire. I cannot find her on the 1881 or the 1871. There is one (Mary Ebsworth) which says born in Middlesex and going forward to the 1891 census it's not her. There is also an Elizabeth Ann Ebbsworth 1867, Ashworth on an Ancestry tree born in Ashbury, Berkshire - could this credibly be her? Can't seem to find a marriage either? I'm sure I'm just missing something really obvious but I can't see what!
Thanks for having a read (again)!

Eliza Snozwell - who is she?

Hi, I'll try not to be too long winded!
Eliza (b. 1828, Shaw, Berkshire) has an illegitimate son (only her on his birth cert.) and she is unmarried on the 1851 census. This census confuses me to start with through mis-transcriptions and the wording used for some of the (what I think are) grandchildren to the head of household! After the 1851 census I cannot find Eliza? Cannot find a marriage although she seems to come up on one but I think she is somehow a spare name of her husband has been misplaced in the register? Can anyone help at all find her after 1851?
Her son is a lodger on the 1861 census so no help there. I have also checked for a death under the name Snozwell, Snoswell and Sno***ll but no luck there either.
I would really appreciate anybody's help as I'm stumped.

Searching for a marriage

Can anyone find a marriage between Violet Bird, b 1889 Tottenham, and a Mr Leach sometime between 1911 and 1916.

Violet is with her parents and sisters in 1911 in Birmingham, and on 3 Jun 1916 gives birth to daughter Edith L Leach in Knaresborough. In the 1939 Violet is living with her sister Lily and daughter back in Birmingham, no trace of Mr Leach, and I have discovered she and Lily were already sharing a house in 1929.

I have no idea who Mr Leach was or what happened to him. Any ideas?

Mary i think should be 56 and Ann is definately 25 (mis-transcribed as 75). The thing confusing me is the son in law bit - do they mean grandson in which case who's his mother?
1861 census he's down as a lodger so that doesn't help?
If no-one can find anything then I guess i'll need to order a birth cert. for him?

Theophilus Hodgkiss - CWGC grave at Tarbert, Kilcalmonell, Scotland

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for information on a Lieutenant Theophilus Hodgkiss - service number 105833. He served in 202 Battery of 51 Anti-Tank Regt of the Royal Artillery.

He is listed as wounded on casualty list 228 (wounded on or just before 11 June 1940), part of the expeditionary forces in France according to the section heading. He appears on casualty list 404 (officers and nurses) as having died at home (presumably meaning back in England) on the 3rd Jan 1941. He appears a third time on a corrections list indicating that he died of his wounds, also on the 3rd Jan 1941. He has a CWGC headstone in Tarbert burial ground, Kilcalmonell, Argyllshire, Scotland.

Forces War Records don't have much detail for him. Find My Past has the casualty lists mentioned above. There's a picture of his headstone on the Scottish War Graves Project website but no further details.

There may be a clue, via Wikipedia, regarding 51 Anti-Tank Regiment - there is an order of battle 1939-1940 for the 51st (Highland) Division that says: 51st (West Highland) Anti-Tank Regiment, Royal Artillery (captured 12 June 1940). Perhaps Lt Hodgkiss was wounded a few days before the rest of his regiment was captured and evaculated back to England. There's roughly a 6 month gap between him being wounded in France and his death in Jan 1941.

He was born in Liverpool and his wife, Alice Louisa Vallence, came from Dorset. The army roll of honour shows his residence as London. Why would he be buried in Scotland? Was there a military hospital in the area that wounded soldiers were sent to or was it because he was part of a Scottish regiment?

Any thoughts appreciated.
Mark.

Swedish research - can anyone help?

I am helping a friend with her research into her husband's family name of Grenander from Sweden. The grandfather Herman Grenander was born 1891 in Karlebo, Frederiksborg, Denmark to Frederika Grenander no father named on the baptism we have found.

We know he had a brother Gustav Grenander born 1886 probably Sweden according to an emigration record again no father named.

We are now looking for the birth of Gustav but nothing is coming up on familysearch.org and the only record showing for Gustav is a death record in Sweden which quotes his date of birth but that of course may not be correct as it would have been given by the informant.

If anyone has any ideas or can point me to a forum similar to this in Sweden where we might get help that would be great.

Constance Snozwell's father? She was born 1919, Wantage, Berkshire. I believe it is Arthur Charles (known as Charles) Snozwell. There is one born in 1894, Brentford, Middlesex which makes him old enough to marry Alice Sheppard b. 1889 which is Constance's mother. I can't find him for sure on the 1901 or 1911 census as I think there is another Arthur Charles Snozwell born at a similar time in Middlesex?!

Hi guys,

I hope there's someone out there who may be able to help me.

I have a man born in 1924 in Poland, who married in Leeds 1952 and did his Naturalisation in the 70's.

Is it normal to take that long for it to happen?

I thought it would have happened as soon as he actually arrived in the UK.

Identification of Edmonton School Photo

I have a school photo (dated c.1896) of a 1st cousin 1x removed, and I am trying to discover the name of the secondary school that he attended, which I am almost certain was in Edmonton, Middlesex. It's a long shot, but someone may recognise the schoolmaster from other photographs. He (along with two of the boys) is also wearing a lapel badge with a distinctive shape, which could possibly be a school badge. I have attached a close up of the badge.

Other children in my family possibly attended the same school as well, but I can't begin checking admission registers until I can establish which school it is.

Hi all
I have tried all forums on this plus looked up Ancestry and Myheritage so who knows ? maybe someone on here may be able to help.

Lylal Bartlett Born 1911 in South Ealing. This Gt Uncle of mine did exist as he was on the 1911 Census with his Parents Walter Sidney Bartlett and Sarah Clack living at 104 Murray Road Ealing Middlesex. Lylal was 4 months old at the time. For the past 3 months i have been trying to find a Birth or Death Certificate to no avail. The earliest London Electoral result i can find is in 1926 but he is not on that which makes him 15/16 in that year. Even if he was dead there should be a Death for him but nothing. While looking around in case he moved out to work as a Servant (not unsual then) i could not even find the name Lylal anywhere. This is what i would call a real stumbling block !. Anyone help ?????

Eliza bragger was b.1850, Westminster to Robert bragger and Mary Anne Morton. Her father is a harness maker and coach trimmer according to the birth certificates of their children.

She's at home with parents in 1851 and 1861. In 1868 at Christchurch in battersea she was married to her first cousin Joseph Morton, a surgical case maker. Her age is listed as 21, b.1847.

They are in the 1871 census together in newington, she claims b.1848 Westminster.

Joseph remarries in 1878 to Harriet downie.

I can't find a death for Eliza. I had thought she was the one in 1875 Lambeth but this turned out to be the wife of a James Morton, painter. Can anyone spot anything please?

vendredi 16 septembre 2016

Hi,
John Leed(e)s is listed as the father of three children, baptisms in Broxbourne, Herts.

http://ift.tt/2ctLJ9K

I have one of the baptisms - his residence is Hoddesdon.

I'm looking for the marriage of John, possibly c.1690.

These people are probably Dissenters.

Marriage of George Scott to Ellen Balmer

On the Ancestry site, there is reference to the above marriage, together with site of the church register for 1st February 1889. They were both from Canonbie in Dumfriesshire. Ellen was born around 1856.
In my family tree, the 1871 census for George Scott (blacksmith) born 1797, shows George Scott aged 18, grandson. In the 1861 census, the younger George Scott is shown as George Blyth. He was the illegitimate son of Mary Scott and Walter Blyth. Mary went on to marry Robert Vevers, and had several children, but like other illegitimate grandchildren of George Scott (the elder) George Blyth was brought up by his grandfather, and grandmother. He became known as George Scott by the time of the 1871 census.
As the extract from the above marriage is taken from church registers, I find it strange that there is no record of the marriage on Scotland's People. I would like to know if the George Scott of the marriage is the same George Scott who is in my family tree, but I need a marriage certificate to help. Can anyone help me as to why the record shows on Ancestry but not on Scotland's People.

Michael Fitzgerald, born 1771 Cork, Ireland

Hi all,

I'm new to the forum so if this is the wrong place to post this my apologies. In fact, I'm new to building my tree, a week in, and have already found some interesting stories and characters.

Pretty much the moment I left Australia on a small slice of my family tree the trail has gone cold. I've managed to find out a fair bit about Michael Fitzgerald but cannot find his parents to forge beyond, here's a snapshot:

Michael Fitzgerald was born in 1771 in Cork, Ireland. Convicted of being a rebel and sentenced to life, he was deported to Australia on the Minerva as a convict arriving in 1800 and later pardoned in 1810. He married Mary Wood in 1811 in Launceston, Tasmania. They had one child during their marriage, Maria Jane, born 1811. He died in Tasmania.

Michael was my Great (x6) Grandfather on my Mothers side. Hoping Michael is a part of a family tree of someone here to gain some clues.

Thanks
Michael Fitzgerald, born 1771 Cork, Ireland

census challange, only a road name

vendredi 9 septembre 2016

I have a house in a street called Swete Street in Plaistow London.
Parish West Ham.

c1860 it is a large house on the street (only building showing on the map)
After 1869, Swete Street starts getting its Victorian terraced houses built along it

I do know that in the 1970's my friend (surname suckling) lived there and that it was of a construction far older than the Victorian Terraced houses either side of it.
her number was number 59 and it was created by the splitting of the large building that had been on its own on the 1860 map into two separate dwellings (nos. 57 and 59).

What I'm trying to find out is what was the purpose of the original building (a farm perhaps?)
And can it be found on the early census' (1841, 51, 61), to give any clues to its original purpose?

Plus any census results for number 30 Swete Street (my childhood house), which was built around 1890 ish

Many thanks
Trev

ships to shoemaker?

jeudi 8 septembre 2016

i'm trying (it appears in vain) to locate apprenticeship records for my 5th great grandfather stephen morton (c.1775-1844). the first record i have is a marriage at st george hanover square in 1800 to anne evans. they susequently spent their lives in the westmnster area. the 1841 census says "not born in county" but i've always been sceptical of that.

i know from later records (1817 baptisms, census and death cert) that he was a shoemaker. i guess he may have apprenticed elsewhere if he was true in not being from london.

i've found an apprenticeship of a "stephen morton aged 14 (b.1774) years to alex pringle, boatswain of the frigate concord, of 36 guns now lying at chatham kent until 21 years of age" dated 28 jun 1787.

is it a possibility he may have worked on ships then became a shoe maker at a later date?

i'm really struggling to find anything on him pre 1800.

i've found a stephen morton b.1837 (one) and two b.1838, all london. i suspect he is my man, but i can't understand what the records mean? are they referring to where he was or the ship's name? the records only go up to 1854, how might i trace this man after that?

Ireland's historical registers of birth, marriage and death go online

Great excitement - these have gone online a day earlier than expected so I can see how today is going to pan out. Below is the update from Claire Santry's invaluable blog:

"The General Register Office of Ireland's historical civil registers of birth, marriage and death have been uploaded to the free state-run IrishGenealogy.ie.

As anticipated, they follow the 100-75-50years access rule and they are free. If the index entry gives you the option of an image, you download a pdf of the full register page in which that birth, marriage or death certificate appears.

While this seems to be working fine for all indexed entries that had been assigned the GRO's Group Registration ID (GRID), I'm not getting access to any images for those without a GRID. As far as I can see from my early kick-around, all the births from 1864 have a GRID, so should be complete. Marriages before 1886 do not seem to have GRIDs so are not accompanied by an image, and the same goes for deaths from about 1880.

Whether these will appear later, I don't know. Hopefully the site's Help pages will be updated without too much delay so that we can be sure what we've got."

Birmingham, AL

mardi 6 septembre 2016

Researching a particularly tricky family from Germany that came to Birmingham, AL around 1911.

Frank & Sibilla (Sybella,Syvella are just some of the mispellings) Schultz (sometimes spelled at Schulz, Shultze, & Schultze) are very tricky to find documents on!

I know he was born in 1883 somewhere in Germany and that is fathers name is John. He married Sibilla in Germany around 1907 and he died in the 1950`s.

She was born around 1887 in Germany and died at age 89 in August of 1975.

They had many children, two when they came to the US.

They never left the Birmingham, AL area once settled in the US.

Any help or suggestions are much appreciated!

Thank you!

Naturalisation records?

dimanche 4 septembre 2016

Can anyone help please. Looking for a friend - her great grandad was a Charles Stephen Friedman (or Freedman and the family then became Freeman - friend thought Freeman was his name). She had family story he was from Sweden, possibly a Jew from Russia orignally.

Ive had a look and yes, found a Charles Friedman in 1861 on an english boat as crew off Flamborough Head born about 1841 in Gothenburg, Sweden. He marries a Susanna Speakman in Leeds in 1872 as Charles Freedman (I cant find him in 1871 - may be on a boat again). He marries in the parish church, so apparently not a practicing Jew.

He is naturalised by 1891 (in the 1881 he is still shown born Sweden, no mention of naturalisation til the 1891).

I would love to find more about him for the friend. On ancestry some one has him in their tree and has added a father "Erich" but no other detail. Ive tried looking on NA for naturalisation record but no luck.

Any ideas please?

Who are they?

Hi, I wondered if anyone fancied helping me with a little mystery?

In the 1851 Census for my 3x Great Grandparents John & Susannah Phillips there is a 6 year old Elizabeth Farison, the name has been corrected to Fairburn which was Susannah's maiden name, well a variation of it anyway.

Using the name Elizabeth Fairburn & the soundex option in FreeReg I did get a hit with a Baptism in Great Stainton, 1844 as the daughter of Ann Fairburn but this person isn't in my tree yet and I've not been able to find anything further.

Does anyone fancy a little quest to help narrow down who Ann may be to find out what Elizabeth's connection may be?

Susannah herself was born in 1817, Bishopton to Thomas Fairburns/Fairbairns/Fairbairnes & Phyllis Luke and Thomas did have another wife named Sarah Whitfield who might have died in childbirth in 1811.

Thank you.

Hi all,
Wonder if there is any military experts among you that might be able to find some info for me?
My grandfather served with the royal tank corps from 1926 - 1946. One day after he was reassigned to the MIL Prov Staff Corps on the 15th jan 1946 stationed in NW Europe till dec 1947 then at home till march 1948. There are stories in the family that he was involved in the liberation of one of the camps, how likely is this? Is there any way that i can find out what he may have been doing during this time?
Many Thanks

Alfred Durham c1834 Pudsey,Yorkshire

vendredi 2 septembre 2016

First post so hello to everybody.

I'm trying to locate an Alfred Durham born around 1834 in Pudsey, Yorkshire. I've tried numerous different searches on different websites to try and track him down. I can find him on the 1861, 1871, 1881 and 1891 census, always in Pudsey with his wife Hannah (Gaunt) who he married on the 15th April 1854. Prior to that I'm fairly sure that I have found him in the 1851 census, living with John & Mary Frankland in Bradford.

However, that's when the trail goes cold. I've tried all sorts of searches on FindMyPast, TheGenealogist, FamilySearch and the Calverley websites and come up empty.

To add to the confusion, I think there is another Alfred Durham born in 1833 (baptised on 19 June 1833 in Snaith, son of Joseph and Jane). He appears in the 1841 census in Snaith with his mother. I don't think this is the Alfred Durham that I am after because this Alfred Durham then disappears until 1871 when he re-appears in Snaith. In 1881 and 1891 he is still in Snaith and is married to Bridget so I've pretty much discounted him.

As an aside, I think that the Alfred Durham that I am after was also a census enumerator for Pudsey in 1881 as the Calverley website lists an Alfred Durham as the enumerator for RG11/4482 ED10 Folios 137-152. This might tie in with the fact that my Alfred Durham was a clerk in a woollen mill in 1881.

Can anybody help me out here or point me in a new direction (I have a subscription to FindMyPast and TheGenealogist but not Ancestry).

Many thanks.
Mark.

They go from probate date 1752 to 1757, but as the film title mentions 1527-1858 there may be some other images somewhere but I'm blowed if I can find any, can anyone point me in the right direction of how to search please?

Where is Jane and her daughter Sarah? Help please

Instead of doing some urgent paperwork to finish up G's business decided to go back to ancestry :)

Cant believe over 10 years ago seem to have abandoned a few of my Horsteads.

I have Jane Horstead born 1838 to James and Mary Ann Horstead (my GGPx2) in Ratcliffe, Middx

She marries a man called George William Stapleton 1 May 1859 in Holborn. In 1861 she is alone working as a servant in Woodford Essex, noted as a widow :( A daughter, Sarah Jane born 1860 is living with grandparents back in east end.

Can anyone see either of them after the 1861 please? Ive tried looking for a marriage for a Jane stapleton and there are lots but following through the likely ones in London area, cant seem to find a match or a kiddie called Sarah with them - cant find a definite marriage for the girl Sarah either born 1860.

Any help gratefully received as I dont have the brain power or tenacity I had a decade ago.

Irish BMD records

mardi 30 août 2016

Hi everyone. I've just seen this and thought it may be of interest to those of you who have Irish ancestors.

http://ift.tt/1t5wVDl

I don't know if the link will work, but basically the historic Irish civil registers will be available online on the irishgenealogy.ie website from Thurs 8th September (i.e. probably - hopefully - births over 100 years ago, marriages 75yrs, & deaths 50 yrs). Free. So hopefully a few brick walls will fall!

Time allowed to register birth

I was trying to remember how long they had to register birth before a fine kicked in. Was it 6 weeks guys? Just talking to a friend recently and she mentioned how when her dad claimed his pension they said he was 4 weeks too early. Im guessing this was a case of mum changing his birth date to avoid the fine.

Missing Blunts/Hodges

samedi 27 août 2016

If any one fancies a challenge, I am completely stuck with this (although some one will probably come up with something really obvious that I have missed!)

In 1871 (RG10-570-F14-P23) I have:-

Susan Blunt, Head, 27 (mistranscribed as 29), unmarried, born Wotton, Bucks
Mary Jane Blunt, Daughter, 4, born Bromley, Middlesex
George Hodges, Visitor, Wid (with something else I can't read), 27, born Bromley, Middlesex.

I then have a marriage for Susan and George 11 Jul 1871 Bethnal Green.

In 1881 (RG11-494-F123-P22) Susan and George are together with no children.

In 1891 (RG12-320-F116-P39) They have Violet Ann Hodges, granddaughter 10 months born Bromley London with them.

I think I have found the birth reg for Mary Jane, but I can't find her anywhere after 1871, and I can't find any record for Violet (searching both Hodges and Blunt), and I can't find any of them in 1911.

I don't need Susan prior to 1871 (I have her with her parents), but I really want to know who Violet belongs to and what happened to Mary Jane.

Genealogy's Star - Researching Beyond Census Records

Frances and Bert

vendredi 26 août 2016

These are not my family members, they are connected to my 2nd cousin's mother's family in a parcel of papers and photos. Nothing on the back. My 2nd cousin's mother was from Nottingham, her maiden name was Grainger but she didn't have an aunt Sarah.

Any idea of the regiment? Can't quite see the cap badge though he's dressed very like my granddad who was in the Royal Field Artillery - I can see spurs. There's a badge on his cuff too.

Thanks for taking a look,

Frances and Bert

Opinions please - different fathers name marriage/birth cert

I've been kickstarted back into my research :)

I've had a brick wall for some time, and finally decided to start chipping away at it.

I've been looking for a marriage in Liverpool for a Charles Redmond/Mary Kenny, and came to the conclusion that either (a) they married in Ireland, or (b) Mary invented a husband to save the stigma of admitting she had an illegitimate child.
(I haven't been able to find a marriage in Ireland either, but that might be down to lack of online records)

I have found what could be the right marriage, but the man is named PATRICK, not Charles. Could this be the right one, and if so, why change his name?



Full story/details.

Working backwards, from census info & his marriage certificate, we have a Joseph Redmond who was born 1855/6 with a father Charles, a mariner.
Joseph moved to the Tyldesley area & was a coal miner. He consistently said he was born in Liverpool.

There are 2 births around the right date, one in Manchester & one in Liverpool.

In 1861 he is living with his mother in Callows Terrace Liverpool, and Mary says she is a widow. Ancestry has transcribed this as Redman but I'm pretty sure its the right people.
I've not been able to find Charles anywhere.
In 1871 the Joseph [Redman] who I think is my chap is working in a colliery & boarding in Shevington, but the age is a year out.

The other Joseph was an upholsterer. On the 1871 census he is a boarder in Liverpool - this census says he is also born in Liverpool. He died in 1879 (reported in the Liverpool Mercury 24 Feb 1979)

The birth certificate for Joseph Redmond born in Liverpool in March 1856 names father Charles Redmond, mother Mary Kenny. Charles is a mariner & the birth was at 76 Hornby St, Liverpool. I have not found a baptism for him but I suspect his parents were Catholic so the records aren't online.

The marriage certificate I've just received is Patrick Redmond, mariner, father Joseph Redmond, a painter & glazier. They married by licence in St Paul's, Liverpool, on 14 June 1855.
Both were living at 23 Hornby St at the time of marriage. (No great coincidence: it was a very heavily populated area) The witnesses are Hargreaves Woollacott and Mary Shaw, no obvious connection.

There is a possible death registration for a Patrick Redmond in Liverpool in Dec 1856, which is on order.

This does shed some light on the problem but poses more questions.

Patrick's father is named Joseph so its understandable that he'd name his firstborn after him.
But I can't think of an obvious reason why someone would marry as Patrick but be known in his daily life as Charles.
Its understandable that Joseph never knew his father (assuming the 1856 death is the right person) but his mother Mary registered the birth and this is 9 months after their marriage so you'd think she'd remember her husband's name! Joseph obviously thought his father was called Charles as he named his firstborn son after him.

So do you think this is the right marriage or do I put away my pickaxe for another day?
Opinions please - different fathers name marriage/birth cert

Canadian Research help please

Any help would be welcomed please on my grandfathers sister who left the West Midlands for Ontario (believed) around 1905. Her name was Eliza or Elizabeth Lunn and she is thought to be Ward by marriage. She died in 1925. She had a daughter Florence Gertrude Ward who died in 1989.

Eliza left terrible poverty in the West Midlands, I am hoping she had a better life in Canada.

Spence & Whyte in Marnoch

lundi 22 août 2016

With new credits and new inspiration, I've started to investigate my great x4 grandparents:

Isobel WHYTE (OTP) and Charles SPENCE (Marnoch) married in 1798 in Turriff.

They had several children in Marnoch over the years:
http://ift.tt/2bJGGml

Isobel and Charles are living together, alone, in the 1841 census in Marnoch.

I didn't find Isobel in the 1851.

There is a Charles Spence, Boarder in Turriff in the 1851, staying with Elizabeth Alexander, Pauper & Head of household. I know of no relationship from mine to Alexanders.

That Charles Spence died in 1855. In both the 1851 and the DC he is listed as a Chelsea Pensioner. I don't know that I think that is consistent with the baptism records of Charles and Isobel? So I don't think he's mine.

So, I'm thinking that Charles and Isobel died between the two censuses. I suppose they might have immigrated??? Their daughter from whom I'm descended did not leave until the mid-1850s.

I can't find burials or DCs for them, but I'll start double checking my work.

Miles was a Primitive Methodist Minister/Superintendent,covering a circuit from 1844-1886
I have all the census details from 1841 through to 1891.Miles died in 1898.

Miles married Ann Amelia Harp Sept 1849 Tarporley where he was born in 1824
5 children from the marriage all born in different places wherever the circuit took him.Ann A died 1886 Ormskirk

In 1889 Miles last Ministry station was Southport.In 1891c RG12/3039/120/27 Miles is at 36 Laurel Grove Southport with a wife named Susannah.

I cannot find a marriage.The only marriage someone found is in Blackburn to either Alice Sagar or Isabella Miller.

Any help to find Susannah ? appreciated

Toovey - Colchester Essex Births

dimanche 21 août 2016

Hi
Wondering if someone can help with a lookup.
This has been a long time mystery for me and I haven't had much luck.
I am trying to establish where the following family members were born/baptised most likely in Colchester - Essex in UK.
Lingwood Toovey abt 1828
Emily Toovey abt 1830
William Toovey abt 1833
Parents of these children were Richard Duppa Toovey and Sarah Whitaker Toovey (formally Lingwood)
They were married Colchester Essex in !821.
Any help appreciated.
