Mills from Rathdrum Parish

[ion]

Hi Julia,
Unfortunatly I do not have any of your Mills recorded in my tree. My connection with the Mills family is around 1790 when Grace Mills married William Lynar Fawcett. Grace was born in Rathdrum as most likely her siblings, abt 9 or 10. Considering the time difference your Mills' may be connected a few generations down the track however I do not have any further information. Grace's parents were Daniel Mills and Elinor Goggin.
Best wishes

I have a Mary Goggins marring a Richard Haughton c 1746 (marriage licence index) they had 7 Haughton children. Ring any bells.

Hi Julia,
Mary Goggins and Richard Haughton ring no bells unfortunatly. I do not know if Goggin & Goggins are two different families or a spelling error. In my tree I have Ann Lynar the daughter of David Lynar marring John Goggin in 1761. I think John Goggin and Elinor Goggin were related possibly siblings. Sorry but I have not come across and Haughtons.
Cheers

Hi, I am descended from Rev. William Lynar Fawcett thru his daughter Eleanor who married Rev. John Exshaw in 1819.  Was delighted to get Grace Mills name so can build up the other missing links in my family tree.

Hi Ealar,
Great to meet another distant cousin. Yes, I have John and Eleanor marring 9th Aug 1819. John was a rector in Bray probably St Paul's the old church on the main road down by the stream. They had heaps of kids 13 names I have. Eleanor's brother James also married an Exshaw, Elizabeth dau of the Hon John Exshaw twice Mayor of Dublin and Hannah La Graville. Hon John Exshaw had 3 different wives that I am aware of. The other two being Angel Wilkinson and Thomasine Hatfield. I think Thomasine was the mother of Revd John. I would love to chat further.
Regards

Great to link up.  Found a diary account of person who emigrated to Australia in 1855 on line yesterday and Rev. James Lynar was the chaplain -wonder if his first wife Elizabeth Exshaw had died at that stage.  There is no mention of his wife or children's names but the account of the voyage is very interesting.  I have a copy of the Exshaw tree from about 1670 - source is Charlton Shaw - but there are a lot of siblings missing - i also have a rough copy of Burkes Peerage which helps out with the missing bits. 
This is like treasure hunting!

Hi Ealar,

Looks like we are distant cousins aswell. Grace Mills and my GGGG Grandfather Daniel Mills were brother and sister. My Family continued in the Mills side till my GG Grandmother Malvina Mills married William Wilson. So Welcome..
