 ::) Okay. That, obviously, isn't working, Rob. I know that You have to make so many posts, before ye PM system functions. But, as I was able to send it, I presumed you'd be able to access it. It would appear that's not the case.

I can't just put an email addy on here. That's against the boards policy and the Mod's would have to remove it.

So, we need to get ye three or five ~ what ever it is ~ posts up. Mad, I know. But, there it is.

Tell me, Rob; Is ye wife a Pompey girl? (Screw ye loaf here. Don't tell me ye lifes history. I'll ask the questions  ;))

Just in case you haven't yet seen this:

Baptism:
Place: St Nicolas Church Newbury Berkshire
Date: 30th April 1835
Name: Elizabeth Curtis
Parents: Jacob and Sarah Curtis
Father's Occ: Labourer
Abode: Newbury

It doesn't actually help you much though!


There were two other couples named Curtis who were having their children baptised in the same church between 1831-1841 Adam and Hannah Curtis and Adam and Sarah Curtis. Perhaps there is a family link further back and Jacob Curtis moved to Newbury for work

Candrjm; Thanks  :) I hadn't seen that. And, whilst it may not get us much further forward, every bit of evidence helps solidify the foundation.

Interesting point about the other Curtis' too. This guy's a real conundrum, in all honesty. Married his Sarah in Portsmouth. But, she comes from Eastbourne. And there's Curtis' there too! That begs the question; Did he stop off in Eastbourne, on his way out of London; Visit his folks there and bring Sarah away with him to Portsmouth?

I wish there was some way of knowing  :-\

Actually, now I come to think of it: What happened to his people back in London ....? I think I'll go back to bed!  ;D
