Lady Di's Scavenger Hunt Part 1...Everyone Welcome To Join In
« on: Monday 11 May 09 10:48 UTC (UK) »


Welcome to this weeks Scavenger Hunt and I'm sure you'll be able to get Lady Di out of the hole she's in.    At least it only covers a small time frame.

Good Luck and Good Hunting.

Barbara

                                  *************************

Hi Folks,

This is my last ditch effort to find anything about my great grandfather Charles Tattersall.
I know this is probably going to be the shortest Scavenger Hunt in history but I just have to try one last time. 

I’m searching a short time frame from 1834 – 1857 or maybe later – most likely UK.

In summary, I’m looking for:
Charles TATTERSALL Born 1834 Brighton Sussex (or anywhere??)
Parents: Charles Tattersall and Ann Harriet Otway


The facts I have from his marriage certificate:
----------
Name:                           Charles Tattersall
Father’s Name:               Charles Tattersall   *
Father’s Occupation:        Horse Breeder   *
Mother’s Name:              Ann Harriet Otway   *
Where Born:                   Brighton Sussex England   *
Status:                          Bachelor
Age:                              Not Given
Marriage Date:               8 November 1884
Place of Marriage:           St Stephen’s C of E Newtown Sydney
Occupation:                    Labourer
Witnesses:                     Mary Tattersall + Christine (unreadable)
Spouse Name:                (Louisa) Alice Aggs
----------
* - This information was added to the “official” marriage certificate from Parish Registers in 1915 by Registrar

One child born to the marriage:
His details on the childs birth certificate were:
----------
Date:                            4 January 1886
Father’s name:              Charles Tattersall
Occupation:                   (unreadable)
Age:                             45
Where born:                  England
----------

He died in 1894:
Details from death Cert:
----------
Date:                            6 Feb 1894
Name:                          Charles Henry Tattersall
                                    (written underneath it says:
                                     “known as Charles Tattersall” )
Age:                             59
Father’s details:             Henry Tattersall, Horse Dealer, Deceased
Mother’s details:            Unknown – deceased
How long in Colony:        36 years
Where born:                  Brighton Sussex England
Age at marriage:            50 years
----------
His wife was the informant of his death.

If any of his recorded details are correct, it means he arrived in Australia in 1857.
Although I can’t find anything about him in Oz from 1857 – 1884, that isn’t as important as hopefully finding him on the 1841 and 1851 census somewhere in UK (or anywhere in the world for that matter).

All I’d really like is a tiny little snippet of light – something that tells me something about him or his parents and that they actually existed. (I do have my suspicions that he didn’t always tell the truth!!)

Many thanks to RootsChatters who have previously tried to find this guy but unfortunately I haven’t achieved any miracles since my first attempt.

No Deb I haven't found anything about them at all.

Only name that even came close was a Ann Harriet Otway who married in the 1820's (I think ) in London (IGI)- married a William Baylis if memory serves me - but I have found no connection with her at all - SO FAR  Roll Eyes

I'm open to any suggestions or possibilities

That's why I asked ...I saw Ann H Otway on IGI marrying Baylis and wonder if Charles could have been a Baylis and taken the name Tattersall.


ummmmmmmm

There was a report (in theory) that he'd changed his name so anything is possible although I couldn't find a Charles born to this couple in the right time frame.

There was an article about this couple in the Times also - appears they were well-to-do  Wink but he went broke.

Maybe they seperated and she had a fling with a Tattersall - theories theories theories  Grin   Roll Eyes

Nothing like a bit of a challenge to spark one's interest (or frustrations  Roll Eyes )

BTW I wouldn't take anything this guy said at face value. The birth in Brighton, to me anyway, always sounded suspect but that was probably because I couldn't find him there.

He may have been Irish!!

He may have been the son of a convict??

But who was the witness called Mary Tattersall at his wedding - when he said that he was a Bachelor - daughter, sister, mother, sister-in-law or no relation at all??

Just too many questions

Di


Hi ShaunJ - just typed the above and saw your question - and a very good question it is too  Grin

Unfortunately I don't have the answer  Sad

I wish I knew
