Is anybody researching the families of Lucy Emma JAMES (1827 - 1895) and of John Abraham ROPER (1815 - 1891), wholesale druggist of Bristol?
John Abraham Roper, (son of James ROPER, farmer, and Mary JAMES) was b. 1815, bapt. on 8 Oct 1815 in Whitechurch Canonicorum, Dorset.
Lucy Emma JAMES, was born in Kingstone, about 1827; Lucy married (1), in Q3 of 1852 in Chard district, Robert William SAMSON; Robert and Lucy apparently lived in Stalbridge, Dorset, and Robert died there in 1856; Lucy married (2), in 1860, in Chard District, John Abraham ROPER, her first cousin; John and Lucy lived in Bristol, where John was a wholesale druggist.
Robert William SAMSON and Lucy had issue:
1] Ernest SAMSON, born in Stalbridge, Dorset, about 1853, birth registered in Sturminster in Q2 of 1853;
2] Frank SAMSON, born in Stalbridge, Dorset, about 1854, birth registered in Sturminster in Q1 of 1855.
John Abraham ROPER and Lucy had issue:
3] Harold ROPER, was born in Bristol, Glos., about 1862, birth registered in Clifton in Q2 of 1862; in the Civil Service for the Admiralty, living in Hampstead, London; married to Gertrude NICKS;
4] Ida Mary ROPER, born in Westbury, Bristol, Glos., in 1865; President of the Bristol Naturalists’ Society; died, unmarried, in 1935.
I seek to contact any researcher or descendant of this family.
