The thread I mentioned first has been split.

The portion I was referring to is now:

SALADIN question posted here, where I have replied:

https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=608055

That thread was actually a suggestion for a resource for French genealogy research only, so the question should have had its own thread anyway ... and I should have checked first ... but I spent time doing searches already done here.

The Geneanet record shows children:

Henry Paul Fernand SALADIN 1907-1984
Paul Léon Arthur SALADIN 1911-1949

His father was Paul Joseph Ferdinand, and Ellen's was Henry.

Now I get to recommend proofreading one's posts, again!

The marriage isn't SADALIN (not a name), it is SALADIN.

Paul Vincent E SALADIN married either Elizabeth HUKE or Ellen/Nellie HARDY. Can you let us know which one?

Bertha SALADIN married in 1910 in Lewisham, and then there are no other SALADIN events in England/Wales until 1950, per FreeBMD. There are apparently no births with mother SALADIN after that.

The geopatronyme site I linked to above does show a fair number of SALADIN births in France 1890-1966. The name "Paul Vincent" does suggest French.

Outbound migration records at Ancestry show very few passengers, in German, Swiss, Australian and UK records.

So, unfortunately, no help so far. But it's important to have the right name on record here!

I do recommend searching also for SALADINE, as that is the likely pronunciation in English, and FreeBMD shows many more results for that spelling. None that seem related to those two marriages, however.

Thank you so much!

Seeing the Graves name, and having recently moved back to southwestern Ontario, really did just bring back to mind my projects and classes from all those years ago about the settling of this area, and the itch to know needed scratching, but some quick googling wasn't telling me.

I should have tried harder (but my procrastinating was getting out of hand, so here I am on 4 hours' sleep trying to meet today's deadline ...)

And now I know what I didn't know before, because of course in my day we didn't learn about women in history -- that Elizabeth, like other women diarists, is a voice through which we know much of what we know about life in that day.

Gotta meet that deadline, then I'll go back and browse some more. Thanks again!

Running across this again, and having relocated since I started the thread, back to my southwestern Ontario home turf, I became curious.

As a kid, I wrote a bunch about local history here. John Graves Simcoe was one of the leading characters.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Graves_Simcoe

John Graves Simcoe (25 February 1752 – 26 October 1806) was a British Army general and the first Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada from 1791 until 1796 in southern Ontario and the watersheds of Georgian Bay and Lake Superior. He founded York (now Toronto) and was instrumental in introducing institutions such as courts of law, trial by jury, English common law, and freehold land tenure, and also in the abolition of slavery in Canada.

... Simcoe was the only surviving son of Cornishman John (1710–1759) and Katherine Simcoe (d. 1767). His parents had four children, but he was the only one to live past childhood; Percy drowned in 1764, while Paulet William and John William died as infants. ... The family then moved to his mother's parental home in Exeter. His paternal grandparents were William and Mary (née Hutchinson) Simcoe.

Name    John Graves Simcoe
Spouse's Name    Elizabeth Posthuma Gillam
Event Date    30 Dec 1782
Event Place    Buckerell,Devon,England

He was born in Northamptonshire. I'm wondering, given the apparent maternal familial Exeter connection, whether his "Graves" came from his mother's side, about which nothing seems to be known, and how remote his connection with Thanckes might have been.

Just idle historical curiosity.
