Kent Lookup Requests / Re: OLIVER, William Edward - 2 Mar 1851
« on: Friday 09 September 16 23:10 BST (UK)  »
Hi Katie,
I am the grandson of Cecil Roy, Horace's brother.

Probably the best site for the Oliver family history is the Baker Family history here;
http://www.thebakers.force9.co.uk/fam01369.htm
It details Oliver all the way back to 1650's
I sent them some details of my branch and they included them in the Tree ( although they put
"Frindon" a couple of times instead of "Findon" )
I actually visited the graves of our Great Great and triple Great Grandpas in Luddesdown in 2013.
Also went across to Ash cum Ridley where the graves of our ancestors are still there back to about 1704
Was in Adelaide earlier this year and visited the graves of William and Eliza in Cheltenham Cemetary and the house at 23 St Albyns in Findon which I am pretty sure William and Eliza lived in
William gave my grandpa a block of land on Grange Rd and he built a house called "Melmerby". I think this may have been the ship William came out to Australia in.
Regards
Mike Oliver

Norfolk Lookup Requests / Re: Andrew Siely B 1765 D 1859 Walcot Norfolk

Thanks Avrina. Looks like you have pretty well nailed it.
I can't find my first James Cubitt either. Think perhaps I created him just to fill the gap
in the Tree.
Appreciate all the info you have supplied.
Will now do a bit of Tree pruning to fit in the correct details
Regards
Mike

Avrina, well it is quite a while since I did the Siely Tree. And even then they were a bit of a conundrum. You probably have access to more data than I did, since I was only looking at what had been put up on the Internet at the time.
However in my Tree I have two James Cubitt Siely's
I have James Cubitt Siely 1785-1862 ( who was the Son of Andrew Siely 1765-1859 and Mary Cubitt 1765-1807 ). He is the one that I claim was the ancestor of the Australian link.
I also have a James Cubitt Siely b13 Aug 1815 d 14 Apr 1883 ( who was the Son of Andrew Siely and Andrew's second wife, Elizabeth Press ) and who married Mary Cubitt Houghton 1810-1854, and they are the ones who had the Son, Frederick Thomas 1842-1868.
Does seem a bit strange that you would name a Son with your second wife, exactly the same name as a Son with the Previous, but somehow I did find two James Cubitt's with what appear to be valid Birth and death Dates.
I have the first James Cubitt ( 1785-1862 ) as marrying Martha Gold on 22 Sept 1802 at St Mary's Church in Happisburgh.Then having their Son, James Siely, baptised in Happisburgh on 17 Mar 1811.
I have no James Siely's in my Tree that were born in 1828. The nearest is a James Siely baptised in East Ruston 13 Aug 1835. Then of course the one who came to Australia, and I have him being baptised at St Peter's Church in Ridlington 16 Oct 1837.
If you have any definitely verified data that disagrees with any of this, please let me know.
Regards
Mike

Thanks Avrina, will have a think and a bit more of a rummage around concerning James Cubitt Siely. The other person may be right concerning the James that came to Australia.

Wow! Lot of water under the bridge since 2011 ! Actually, am no longer married to the person with the Siely connection. But anyway, still interested in Genealogy, and happy to help people trace their Family Tree.
So, the connection goes like this:
Andrew Siely 1765-1859 then Son James Cubitt Siely 1785-1862 then Son James Siely 1811-1888
the Son James Siely 1837-1908 who emigrated to Australia arriving on 1st April 1854 on the ship 'Golden Age" then Son Walter Siely 1862-1913 who was living at Kiama on the NSW South Coast when killed by his daughter ( Appears a rather nasty chappie and the jury let her off ! ) then
Charles E Siely 1887-1937 who moved to Tasmania and was completely different to his father and was a Police Hero when he saved a town just out of Hobart from a Bushfire. He is listed on the Police Honour Roll in Canberra. Then his Son James Henry Charles Siely 1912-1968 then my ex Wife's Brother in Law Brian Geoffrey Siely 1936-2014. He is survived by two Sons and a daughter who live in Hobart, all with children of their own.
Regards Mike ( See you got Brexit yesterday. Glad I'm in Australia these days ! )

Kent / Re: Lark Hill Court, St Margaret's Bank, Rochester, Kent

My apologies Remann, think I have been bamboozled by Google Maps. There is a 262 High St on both sections of High St on either side of the Medway. After looking at things a bit more closely, I now realise the 262 you are referring to, is only about 200 metres away from the Nags Head Hotel, and is most definitely in St Margarets Bank

Thanks Remann. Although is 262 High St still considered as being in St Margaret's Bank, it is on the west bank of the Medway rather than the east ? My G  Grandfather was baptised at St Margarets of Antioch on 2nd March 1851 where they are listed as being in St Margarets Bank, and I think the Census was in April, so thought they would still be in same place. Maybe they moved across to Lark Hill Crt ( which is really in Frindsbury or Strood ? ) in the interim.
Anyway many thanks for your help.

Kent / Lark Hill Court, St Margaret's Bank, Rochester, Kent
« on: Sunday 01 June 14 07:34 BST (UK)  »
My Great Grandfather's parents were living at 8 Lark Hill Court, St Margaret's Bank, Rochester in the 1851 census. Can't find it in a street directory today, although did find a will reference to some one who owned the Nag's Head Hotel, and several tenements in Lark Hill Court.
Does anyone know if it was close to the Nags Head Hotel ( which appears is still on its original site today ) for sure ?
