London and Middlesex / Re: John DAMON marriage to Emily ? (Poulter)

Hi all

The mystery has been solved. John Damon married Emily Wellen on 8 November 1874

Hi All

I am satisfied that John Damon did not marry Emily Poulter. I have bowed down to the inevitable that it is not them.

Does anyone have a John Damon that married an Emily anywhere in the world and then went to South Africa. The eldest child was born in Kimberley, Cape Province, South Africa on 30 March 1873.

The marriage must have been late 1860's or early 1870's

Good day


The reason I stand by my decision is that on all 4 children's baptisms the parents are shown as John and Emily.

May I ask why you are so adamant that it is as you say.

Hi all

Thanks for all the assistance. I had a chat to the Grandchildren of John Damon and they confirmed that John Damon married Emily Poulter. They also said that the Poulter family came to visit them here in South Africa.

On the baptism register in South Africa Mary was baptised in 1890 only. Wonder is she was baptised twice. Also what church and where was she baptised in?

Hi Jamjar

I am unable to trace any marriage in South Africa for a John Damon and Emily. This is the only one I can find. I have been told that the English part of the Damon Family are still living in the same house.

Will be meeting with a granddaughter to John Damon on Saturday. Was hoping to be able to clarify this fact before then

I have no info on him. His son Samuel Alexander Damon was a Farrier / Blacksmith in Kimberley

Hi Maureen

On the Baptism Register for all the children the parents are listed as John Damon and Emily. I did see this person as well but with the register showing JD and Emily that is why I suspect Emily Poulter

Hi all

I am looking for confirmation of the marriage of John Damon and Emily. I suspect that her surname is Poulter. I have found that there is a document listing JD and EP as being married during 1866.

John Damon and Emily had 4 children in Kimberley South Africa between 1873 and 1885.

I am looking for confirmation to the marriage and any English family.
