Dublin / Re: Baptism record for Richard Molesworth in Dublin
« on: Saturday 18 November 17 00:33 GMT (UK)  »
Coote’s Will can be found on ancestry.com by entering Prerogative Canterbury Wills. He died 1783 while at Chichester.  The Will is not easy to read but the name Holmes was deciphered by the great people at Rootschat. Guess we were just hoping for some positive sign of contact given the relatively close geographical connection of the two.
Really appreciate any input.

That’s really interesting. Did not realise Coote was in Dublin at that time. But had been aware that later in life, he was not far from Portsmouth, dying in Chichester.  For that reason we looked closely at Coote’s Will for a reference to Richard. The Richard great nephews mentionned were eliminated as being Richard Holmes and Richard Walker.
Hoping for further news.

Thank you all for your efforts and that confirmation.  Seems he has the most elusive parents!

Thank you for your reply.
Richard died in Greenwich Hospital in 1814 and was buried at St Alphege, Greenwich on 24 October. I have no death certificate.
His youngest son Arthur b. 1798, was enrolled in the Greenwich Naval School when he was first admitted to the Hospital in 1810, since Richard was a widower.
Thank you

Thank you to all for your interest. Richard’s life from 1780 including marriage to Mary Lowance is known.  It’s his parents and baptism which is unknown but essential to confirm his ancestry.
Appreciate your contribution.

Dublin / Baptism record for Richard Molesworth in Dublin
« on: Tuesday 07 November 17 08:41 GMT (UK)  »
Looking for baptism 1751-1752 in Dublin for Richard Molesworth...no accredited or acknowledged connection to the well-known Molesworth family of Dublin as yet.  Parents unknown.  His Dublin birth is claimed on admittance to Greenwich Hospital in 1810 after a long Naval career.  Married Portsmouth 1780 and his family resided in that area from that time.
Many thanks

Pembrokeshire / Kate WHELTON Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire
« on: Tuesday 02 May 17 05:15 BST (UK)  »
Looking for the origins of Kate Whelton who arrived Brisbane, Australia in February, 1901 on board the 'Duke of Wellington' aged 26.  On her death certificate: birth Haverfordwest, parents James and Mary.
Am puzzled by the 1881 census for James Wheltonin Haverfordwestt and the relationship of 2 daughters, Cathrine and Mary Ann who the census claims are his daughters but have the surname of his widowed sister Mary Foley.  Can anyone enlighten me on this enigma?
