Antrim / James HOGG, Ship Captain Belfast 1800's
« on: Friday 25 April 14 02:52 BST (UK) »
Hi, I am researching my ancestor John HOGG b about 1818 co Antrim. He married Sarah CHAMBERS born about 1825 in Ireland on 30 March 1846 in Belfast. Sadly, there is only an index type of record for their marriage so I haven't been able to get either parents, occupations etc- except John HOGG and his wife moved to Gloucestershire, England after the marriage and had some children there. They moved to Cricklade, Purton, Wiltshire UK for a couple of years around 1851 and returned to Clifton, Gloucestershire where they had more children ( many babies died). Sadly, Sarah HOGG nee Chambers died early 1858 of Diabetes aged only 33 and her husband re-married Elizabeth Cannock MEREDITH later the same year ( she may have been a house keeper as John had a number of young children to look after).....on that marriage record, John HOGG states his father was James HOGG, a Ship Captain. The HOGG family were living Ashley Down Cottages in Clifton Gloucestershire in the 1850's.
I am really hoping someone can help me find the Belfast marriage record as I need Sarah CHAMBERS father's details and any other clues.
I have searched through the Merchant Navy mariners records and nothing came up for Capt James HOGG ( there are a few from Scotland ) that I could be sure about. There is a James HOGG b 1816 Belfast who sailed on the "William" in October 1837 - I am wondering if he is another son
I have most of the details for John & Sarah & Elizabeth's children ( John HOGG was a book seller who died 1868 in Gloucestershire ), but nothing back from them. . Would appreciate any help or contact with any descendents
