Also Annabel from Cuckney & Warsop Nottinghamshire

Which intrigue the most. I didn't think people travelled in those days. I guess servants went where they were needed.

Anybody know anything about:

Hoops (Ireland, Canada, lots of other countries)
Pargeter (Tysoe, Warwickshire and other Midlands)
Skinner (Oxford, earlier probably Scotland)
Higgins (Oxfordshire)
Mostyn
Stringer
Sheppard........

Genes Reunited members can view my tree so far - if you are into genealogy then this is a wonderful site. Only a tenner a year and well worth it. I know plenty about my father's family (Hyde and Hoops etc) but so little about my mothers. Already I have learned a LOT more so it is well worth joining.

Hello,
I am related to some Grahams from Durham, I know there are probably loads up there but best to check. My grandmother was Edith Maud Graham from Lanchester. Her parents Thomas Walker Graham and Jane Ramm. Thomas' parents were Thomas graham and margaret Young.

Fingers crossed for a possible link
Linda

I don't really know much about my Grahams, I know that my Great Grandfather was Alexander Graham and he married Margaret Lawson Grieveson of Lanchester, so there might be a connection but I've mainly been trying to find the Gelson side so I haven't really spent much time on the others.

Jem

Similar surname - Hastie - one origin is from Hasti derived from Asketill (Old Norse). Ketill means a round pot or cauldron. Asketill was the origin of 'Asselby' in the East Riding of Yorkshire. (The Origin of English Surnames by PH Reaney).

My great great grandmother's name was Sturgess which comes from Thorgils (which means Thor's Hostage).

I've had a LONG break from my genealogy research, but I'm going to get back into it again. Hopefully, as I've not been looking at my files for a while, something will jump out at me.

Off the top of my head, my names are:-

Marston - London
Granville - London
Thomson - Lanarkshire
Goode - London
Goodman - London & Essex
Clark - London (not many of those around :wacko: )
Kelly - London & Ireland (see above :wacko: )
Perle - London and we believe Russia

Well, that's the main ones anyway - don't even get me started on Ian's family! They are Jewish, and his Mum's side came over from Russia in the early part of the 20th Century. I'm working on a trip to Israel and Russia, but I don't think it's gonna happen :P

I'm going to work on my Family History Website at some point - I'll let you know when it's up and maybe it'll connect with someone!

flugella

06-05-2006, 06:42 PM

I haves Longs but they come from Chippenham and Langley Burrell in Wiltshire. Maybe there's a connection there somewhere as I also have Hurdles from Heytesbury.

Hello Cowbags!!

I am a Dodds and my family were originally from Newcastle, but my family moved to North London before I was born.
They lived in Enfield, but I am still trying to find out about my grandad's (Charles) siblings who also lived in London - but where????

Hi Lil Blue it was me! My g-grandmother was Mary Anne McPherson, from Salen Isle of Mull. Her father was Donald McPherson, who was a hand loom weaver, and his father was also a Donald McPherson, who was a cooper, all in Mull. I lose the line there, but my dad always told me that the "McPhersons" had been at Culloden, but hadn't been McPhersons at the time IYKWIM ;) so a sudden change of name, if that was what happened, does make getting back further a tad problematic. :D

My husbands family are all Welsh so we have Thomas, Davies, Roberts etc and I have gone back to his g g g grandfather. I can't even find my grandfather on either side :lol:

There are quite a lot of Teggs round here (I knew a couple at school!). Bradfield is tiny, so it should be easier to trace. We may even be related as they all seem to have married into a small number of families.

I would suggest contacting http://www.berksfhs.org.uk/

Hi Sonja, I gather that you are trying to trace the family of James Quirke, on behalf of a descendent in New Zealand. The James Quirke that you are focussing on was my grandfather's brother, (is that a great-uncle?) and who was married to my grandmother's sister. He emigrated to New Zealand about 1903, and two brothers and a sister followed him out here. I have quite a lot of information about him and his siblings, and their descendents in New Zealand as I was compiling a family tree recently.

Hi, Sorry it's taaken a while :) I've been searching and searching and .....:lol: As I can only use the free services for my research it takes sooo long :(
I haven't found a single member of my mothers family apart from her parents - thanks for helping with that - I know my MGM had at least 2 sisters and the names Maud and Rose keep creeping into my memory but not too sure <_< As for my MGF I can't track him at all. I know there my mother had a cousin called Kath Jones - and another called Jim ? Not much to go on is it? :lol:
I have found my fathers mothers maiden name :D but am no longer sure of her first name. It appears he also had another brother so I have had some success

Hi

One of my relatives in New Zealand is trying to trace her family Quirke from Ireland. She is focusing on James Quirke b 9 Apr 1881 in Ardcanaght, Birth
registered in District of Castelmaine, Tralee, Kerry, Ireland Father
Patrick Quirk of Ardcanaght Mother Jane Quirk (formerly Savage).

Sonja
hi, here's a bit more infomtion for your friend. James Quirke and my grandfather were brothers, they emigrated to New Zealand around 1903, and a sister and another brother came out to New Zealand later, so three of James Quirke's siblings ended un in New Zealand, their names were Patrick Quirke, (my grandfather) who had 8 children, Timothy Quirke (who for some reason was known as Ted) who had 4 children and Mary Jane, who married a man called Hailwood. All of the brothers lived in the same suburb of Wellington, namely Thorndon. I think that 2 other brothers ended up in the USA and 2 brothers and a sister remained in Ireland. My sister knows more about the ones who stayed in Ireland as she went to visit ardcanaught several years ago and ran into one of the last of the descendents there.

James Quirke's wife and my grandmother were sisters whose surname was Flynn and who came from the nearby village of Lassabee, which is a few miles from Ardcanaught. I have a copy of their parent's marrige license, all handwritten from 1872. The Flynn marriage details I found on the net. I have a lot more information about James' descendents in New Zealand as I was compiling a sort of tree recently. James had about 8-9 children, so you can see that there are quite a few descendents in New Zealand, as there are now about three or four generations down the line in New Zealand now.

Hope this helps.

I have a Robert Sweetzer born who married Caroline Tegg. They had willie b1862, Rose Mary Ann b1863 Caroline b 1866, George b 1868 and Robert in 1870. All born in Reading. ~I do know that Robert Sweetzer married Maria Tucker, they emigrated to Canada and he died in WW1, they had no children. George had 2 children Eleanor and George b 1897.

I did manage to find my Ggrandfathers wedding record (I think) but there is no matching record for his wife! There is a page missing :lol: Again some records show the spouses name but not on this record - they were married in Lanchester in the 2nd quarter of 1911 and that's all I know. Ggrandmothers name was Davis - ( I got that from my fathers birth details)
Bugs - My grandfather was Albert Edward Tegg married to Evelyn Sophia Sweetzer. This posed another question - we always knew her as Eva Evelyn Sophia but birth record says Eveyln and marriage record says Eva E S! It's making me crazy!!! :lol: :lol:
PS not sure where in Reading they came from but Bradfield? looks right

Scrapcomber

21-09-2006, 07:53 PM

This posed another question - we always knew her as Eva Evelyn Sophia but birth record says Eveyln and marriage record says Eva E S!
I would say this is right, frequently only one name was given at the registration and others were added at christening.

I did manage to find my Ggrandfathers wedding record (I think) but there is no matching record for his wife! There is a page missing

I have a years subscription to the GRO on line so give me the details and I will see what I can cross reference ie your GGrandfathers name

Hi,
I've been tracing my tree for a few years and have hit that well known brick wall with several lines. I have been lucky with two lines thanks to other distant relatives who have also been tracing the family, these are Fogden and Sallis.
I paid a genealogist to try and trace my paternal gt.grandfather but he had no luck. George Penn Hamilton born c.1881 no idea where, but he married in 1911 in London. He was an actor and his father was also called George Penn Hamilton and he was a confectioner. He was deceased by 1911.
Another family name is Goring. They lived in Pall Mall in London at the turn of the 19th century. I would love to know what this area was like at that time. He was a tailor.
My family lines all come together in Brighton where I was born.
Other names on my tree include:
Rose (Brighton up to early 1800s)
Waller (ditto)
Carr (Lambeth but Norfolk prior to this)
Thew (London)
Barnes (Sussex and Kent)
Grinyer (Brighton)
Fairhall (Brighton)
Hamilton (No idea)
Goring (London)
Fogden (1476 - 1820 Chichester area, 1820 onwards Brighton)
Sallis (1624 - early 1800s near Tewkebury, then Brighton)

I don't think anyone lives in these areas but you never know who is on people's trees. I am desperate to trace my Hamilton line but am having no luck. I hope the next census yields information.

Many thanks.

Going back to Teggs and Sweetzers - Bradfield is not nec. Reading - in fact a lot of the records from the West of Berks come under Newbury, potentially also Abingdon (I know this as my family is also from Bradfield).

Scrapcomber

22-09-2006, 01:05 PM

Ggrandmothers name was Davis - ( I got that from my fathers birth details)
Have you your fathers birth certificate? is it a Scottish one? As I am not too sure why your GGrandmothers name is on it and not your Grandmothers :unsure:

Guillyflower

23-09-2006, 01:04 PM

I haven't got any certificates at all :( I am hoping to get a copy of my parents marriage certificate soon because of the discrepancy. Even my own birth certificate is a short one without details :P
I have been given DHs family papers and they have been great even with the names I have I was able to go back quite a long way.
Considering I started my parents trees about 3 years ago I haven't got very far have I? :lol:
I think Bradfield must be the area I'm looking at because the only Albert Tegg I managed to find which fits is listed there.
I know my grandmother had at least 2 sisters - I do remember 1 of them owning a car hire firm in Guildford? :wacko: Somehow the name Harriet keeps coming to mind but that might be me with my senior moments :lol:

Just realised that I haven't added my names to this :rolleyes:

I've read through the thread and can't see any that I can help with, but here are the main names in mine in case there's anyone out there who can help me :)

Forse Birmingham, with possibly a Loughborough connection

Beech Birmingham

Worrell Stratford

Holt Probably Midlands, but I'm not ruling out anywhere.

Malpas Birmingham

Ingram Birmingham

Butler Probably Birmingham, have only just added this name to my tree.

I have tenuous links to Guy and Jackson too. Both Birmingham.

On my dh's tree I'm looking for Lydall - Walsall/Brownhills

Jill,

What part of London do the Russell's you're looking for come from? My grandmother was born a Russell in Deptford SE London.
Had completely forgotten I had posted on here! I have them in Clerkenwell in 1807 on a marriage entry and later in the City on a marriage certificate. Before 1807 I am stuck!

Jill, I'm a London Martin ...

I have very little info on the Martin family as I can't be sure they are the right ones! I know that Thomas Martin married Mary Russell and his father was William Martin (occupation grocer) and they lived at 39 Brick Lane in 1839but I can't find William prior to 1839.

Hiya,

Thurza the mother was originally a Rennolds (or Reynolds)

I think she had brothers and sisters called:

Fred, Douglas, Alfred, William, ALice, Rhoda, James, Flora.

Thurza Rennolds married a James Cox.
They named one of their girls Thurza, other children were called

James, Douglas, Kate, Alfred, Maisy, Rhoda, Arthur, Elsie, Ruby, Violet, William, Daisy and a 2nd Kate. (I know there were more children that died but as they're not on the census I dont know their names - my Dad said from what he knows their names were repeated a few times - he knows there were 2 Rhodas for example)

Any connection? I dont have any date of births but do have the approximate year they were born if that helps.

Alx

02-10-2006, 11:17 AM

Oh and I've seen various spellings for Thurza - Thirza, Thirsa, Thursa - haven't established which is the correct one yet.

Scrapcomber

02-10-2006, 02:49 PM

For those of you who are stuck and have uncommon surnames have you been in touch with the Guild for One Name Studies, you may find someone who has researched your surname and has the data you need. I research Upstone/Upston for example.

What was the registration district? Yes, dates would help. We have Williams and Alfreds and Kates, and loads of Henrys and Harrys.

Unfortunately it is not an uncommon surname - and we have Coxes from Berkshire from another branch - not sure they aren't related way back. My lot were from Gillingham in Dorset. There is a Bristol connection as my great great grandmother was from there (though her hubby was Welsh), their daughter married my great grandfather Cox.

Hmm not sure of the registration district - they lived in Bedminster so could that be it? (Can you tell I'm new to this?)

Right these are approx years of births based on the age taken at census.

Kate Cox: 1878 (probably died in infancy as there is a 2nd Kate later on)
William Cox: 1879
James Cox: 1880
Douglas Cox: 1882
Thurza Cox: 1883
Kate Cox: 1885
Alfred Cox: 1886
Daisy Cox: 1887
Maisy Cox: 1888
Rhoda Cox: 1889
Arthur Cox: 1894
Elsie Cox: 1895
Ruby Cox: 1897
Violet COx: 1898

Could have been cousins or something, I suppose. It was the previous generation in my family that came from Dorset. My great aunt was born in Eton in 1899 and my Grandad in 1900 (they moved up from Dorset for work).

The registration district is where births and deaths are registered, where have you got these records from? If it is the census it will say where everyone was born, as well as being taken where they were currently living.

I'm no expert on this - my parents are doing the research!

GREAT thread! I've managed to look through every message but still no one with my ancestors:

William CHITTENDEN from Cranbrook in Kent. In about 1629-30, he married Joanna SHEAFE, daughter of Dr. Edmund Sheafe, graduate of Eton college. In 1639 he emigrated to the Colonies (U.S.) and became one of the founders of the state of Connecticut. I know there are still Chittendens and Sheafes in Kent, but haven't found any who are researching their family history. I'd love to find an English cousin!

Hi all

I am from Melbourne, Australia and looking for relatives in England, and Scotland and Ireland.
I have done all i can in Australia and now looking abroad for information on the following names:

SCOTLAND:
McCAW - George - Ayrshire from1880-1920s
Mitchell -Robert - various from Ayrshire i believe around mid -to late 1800s

IRELAND

WARD - not sure where just yet but any info would be great. If this helps the name Louis is a common christian name which is still being used within the family.

LYNCH - this was my maiden name, i believe our name has origins in Kilkenny and Cork.

ENGLAND

Mitchell
Ward

I will be happy to help anyone who has relatives here in Melbourne try and locate anyone they are looking for as well.

I will appreciate any help anyone can offer me.

Hi Kerrie :)

Do you have any more details about them at all? Was Malcom born in England? If so, do you know what county? Do you know anything else about his wife?

Not sure that'll I'll be able to find anything about the ones in Australia!

I have found details of a Malcolm Snedden, but don't know if it is him. Born in Australia 1880. Died in 1958. Mum and Dad - Robert Snedden and Mary Mcewan.
-married a Mary Scott in 1901.
The wife I understand was Scottish. That's all I know.
Thanks, Kerrie.

Ok. Now I know that this is my relative.
Malcolm Snedden married Mary Scott at Minmi, NSW, Australia, in 1901.
And she is Scottish but don't know which part of Scotland she came from.

Sorry, not as far as I can see but I have not gone back beyond 1863 yet so there may be another branch. Each Allen family so far has had only one boy, called William each time, which is my DH's direct line.

Married: John Bidwell, 11 October 1857, Bristol

Father: William Salmon (no info on him yet)

Does that match anything in your tree?

Thanks
Mary Salmon married into the Bastable family in about 1745 and I haven't gone far down the Salmon line from there but there is quite a good chance of a link. I will check a bit further and if I find anything I will come back to you,

I took the plunge last week-end and went back to my roots - Guildford in Surrey. All loaded up with new camera etc and almost everything had gone. :( The house I lived in for 21 years is totally unrecognisable! They do say you shouldn't go back lol
Anyway, while there I went into the Surrey History Centre - what a fantastic place! - I was given the original church records book to find the anomoly in my parents marriage and what I found on the internet was right. My parents did marry a year AFTER we had all been told. I'm sure this will remain a mystery as there is no-one left to ask.
On the certificate it states that my paternal grandfather was a soldier when he died. I still cannot find him or any of my grandparents.
The names are
South Shields Susanna Davis and William Thomas Yarrow

Reading (Eva) Evelyn Sophia Sweetzer and Albert Edward Tegg - I have found the dates of birth 1901 and 1903 but no parents etc

I am considering joining Ancestry.com or Genesreunited but can't work out which is best. Any thoughts anyone?
TIA

Elin

27-04-2007, 09:00 PM

Ancesrty and genes reunited serve different purposes in my eyes. Ancestry is fab for looking up census, BMD records etc. Genes is more to porst your family tree and hope that someone else has them in their tree too - fab to cross reference and find others you didn't know existed.

See we're practically cousins!

Actually I assume my Fiddy comes from Norfolk since thats where there seems to be a large number of them (apart from here where they are all my cousins) but I dont really know as Dad didnt know his Dad.

Just started on the Daniels side of my Dads family too and thats just as bad!

Hi all,

I am trying to get started on a family tree and don't know where to start looking!

I have 38 people on my tree so far over on genesreunited: My line almost stops with my parents who are:

William Thomas Willerton Majury - born in Belfast 5th September 1945
Roberta Sophia Miller - born in Belfast 15th April 1947

I am not in contact with my birth family (but was not adopted) so can't ask anyone for any other info.

Any help or guidance you can give me on where to start would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Deb :D

Hi Deb,

Look out for hot matches that come up and see if the names and details match then contact the person with the match and ask if it is the same and if you can access their tree. Search BMD records for the births you mention - some have the parent's name not sure when that started though. If you can't find the parent's name you can find where they were registered and pay for a copy of the birth certificate, then you will find the parents names, ages and occupations and you can search for more on them.

Look on the forum on Genes, ask the question - you never know!

Ah! Well, lots of East Anglian folk left when farming became uneconomic in the 19th century.

They sure did. My gt gt grandfather left Norfolk and moved to London where he was a gardener in service. He was still working at an old age and was 72 when he had my gt grandmother! Can't find where he came from in Norfolk as he was born before 1837 and have no idea when he left. Really frustating.

Hey this is a great idea

I got most of the way through the threads and haven't seen any names I'm after so here we go...

All the names here are from Cornwall and through what I've managed to find so far do link to each other through one marriage or the other!

RULE - some people even married people down the road with the same surname!
JENNINGS
UREN

Rule and Uren are the most common results I've had so far. Someone of GR has the same peeps as me in his tree but hasn't reasearched through the Jennings line down to the Uren line!
