London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: Marriage of Richard Robinson or Robertson
« on: Tuesday 06 December 11 00:25 GMT (UK)  »
I think John Robinson of Appleby had a brother Richard but its not the same person - my Richard Robinson was born in London in 1780 to Richard and Mary Robinson of the parish of St John Horselydown near Bermondsey. I wish he WAS one the of the Robinsons of Appleby because as you say, there is a lot of information about them.
Kind regards

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Marriage of Richard Robinson or Robertson
« on: Wednesday 09 February 11 10:11 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks Valda. I was hoping for a miracle, I have tried for so long to locate this marriage. Hannah came from a church going family, its inconceiveable the marriage didn't take place, they went on to have twelve children together who were all baptised somewhere! They went to Australia in 1814 with four children, can't find any of the children's baptisms either? The eight children born in Australia were all baptised, I have their records, just not for onesborn in England.
Is St Botolph's  Aldgate on Ancestry too? (How do you know if they are on Ancestry?) They were living in that parish in 1813
Thanks so much for you help

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Marriage of Richard Robinson or Robertson

Hi all
Am seeking help in accessing the parish registers of St Mary Rotherhithe for 1800-1814? Parish Registers online doesn't list all these dates on the CD.
I am desperate to find a marriage for Richard Robinson and Hannah Rae or Rea Chowne in about 1804-6. It is not on ancestry, or any other megasite. Hannah's family have lots of baptisms at St John Horsleydown until about 1803, and then the next baptisms are St Mary's Rotherhithe. Using that as a tip, I think they may have been married at St Mary's.
Can someone please advise me how to access these registers?
Many thanks
Lyndy

Meath / Re: County of Maid - Another pronunciation?
« on: Saturday 27 March 10 10:23 GMT (UK)  »
Found this online - Kingdom of Mide     From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 
The Flag of Mide (Old Irish pronunciation [miše]; English /ˈmiːš/, also anglicised Meath) was a medieval kingdom in Ireland. It existed as a kingdom from at least the early historic era. Its name means "middle", denoting the fact that it was situated in the very centre of Ireland; it included all of the current County Meath (which takes its name from the kingdom) as well as all of Westmeath and parts of Cavan, Dublin, Kildare, Longford, Louth and Offaly.
Michael's son was the informant on his father's death certificate, perhaps its been twisted in his recollection?
Are there Currans in Navan or County Meath?
Thanks heaps

Meath / Re: County of Maid pronouncing it
« on: Saturday 27 March 10 10:14 GMT (UK)  »
I checked out online and you are right about it possibly being pronounced something like "Mate" (not exactly Maid but close enough)
There is nothing else it could be really.
Thanks for your help, I don't have any other Irish relatives so don't even know much geography or history etc. Navan might be a very good clue to WHERE in Meath!
Cheers

Meath / Re: County of Maid?

Scan won't add any more information as I got the transcript only and its just type-written.
I was thinking it must be Meath, because what other county even sounds like Maid? Have the counties changed since 1810?
Thanks so much for your help with this puzzle

He died in 1892 near Dungog NSW Australia. NSW death certificates after 1856 state place of birth if known.
It clearly says
County of Maid.
Thanks for your help, its very kind

Meath / County of Maid?
« on: Saturday 27 March 10 02:57 GMT (UK)  »
I am confused about the "County of Maid" on an ancestor's death certificate - my gt gt gt gdfather Michael Curran was born there in 1810, but its not on the map anywhere. Is Maid a version of Meath? If not, where in Ireland is the County of Maid?
Help!!
