Hello -
I am researching an Oldaker family line in England for a friend. Her ancestor: Harriet Lady Oldaker (we think "Lady" is part of her name and not a title) who married a John Hucks Stevens in England. John Hucks Stevens, wife Harriet and their children immigrated to the USA around 1836.
The information my friend has:
Harriet Lady Oldaker - parents: Barnard Oldaker and Nancy Warters (may have really been "Waters")
b. 1 Feb 1816, England
christened 18 Mar 1820 St. Leonards Church, Shoreditch, London, England
married 13 Sep 1834, The Hague, Netherlands (where she was living with her parents)
Barnard Oldaker and Nancy Warters (maybe Waters) were married 25 Jun 1810, St. Olave Hart Street (C of E), City of London.
Other children of Barnard and Nancy Oldaker, all born in England:
Caroline, b. 19 Sep 1813, christened 18 Mar 1820, St. Leonards Church, Shoreditch, London, England
Marianne, b. 9 Oct. 1814, christened 18 Mar 1820, St. Leonards Church, Shoreditch, London, England
Maria Louisa, b. 3 Jul 1818 , christened 18 Mar 1820, St. Leonards Church, Shoreditch, London, England
[Nothing like getting them baptised in a batch. :-) ]
Ferdinand Barnard, b. 4 Dec [year is unreadable in baptismal record], christened 14 Sep 1828, St. Olave Hart Street
According to all the baptismal records for the Oldaker children, the father, Barnard Oldaker, was a cabinet maker. The address of his abode was given as Paris for his son Ferdinand's baptismal record.
Do you happen to have other information on this particular Oldaker family? Apparently they lived in France, the Netherlands, and perhaps other countries other than England.
Thank you in advance, in hopes you have other information.
