Contact me if you are interested in joining.  There are descendants of William and Ada in that group.

Thank you peterpjw. Very kind of you to go to so much trouble.
As this is not a direct line, or actually vey close to a direct line, I must decline the offer of membership. I wish the group every success.
Best wishes, Toby.

Hi Toby

Thanks for the reply.

What is your connection?

Cheers

Hi Peter,
Louie Bullock nee Giddy born c.1868 married the youngest brother of my grandfather. He was Edward Bruno Ellis and lost his life at the Battle of Coronel in 1914. Louie was unlucky. Her first husband, a miner, had died in South Africa from a respiratory disease. Their first child was Ada Winifred Bullock born Q3 1894 and she married William Henry Rule in Q2 1918.
How about that for a remote connection!

Thanks, Toby

I guess, then, that Ada's son, Gordon U RULE would be Gordon Ulvesford RULE, after her brother.

Can you tell me Richard John BULLOCK's date of death?

Cheers

Peter

[peterpjw]

Never mind, Toby, I found Richard John BULLOCK's administration record in the National Probate Calendar.

Cheers

Peter

Thanks Peter. You are clearly some way from Camborne. I try to get down to that area each year and take lots of photos inc one of the Methodist Chapel in North Parade  just before it was torn down. If there is a view you are particularly wanting, I will see what I can do. T

Thanks, Toby

I'm in Australia.  Thanks for the offer, I'll keep it in mind.

Richard John BULLOCK also has a RULE descent, via his mother Jane LUKE, whose father Richard LUKE was son of Mary THOMAS, daughter of John Thomas and Mary RULE.

Cheers

Hello everybody,

my name is Carola, I'm from Germany (so please excuse my humble English). I'm trying to find out about the family of my great-great-grandmother Helen Rule, born in Camborne/ Cornwall. Helen married my German great- great- grandfather in 1883 and moved with him to Germany. I have only very few information about the Rule family and would be very happy to find out there are still relatives anywhere!

So, here are the names and dates I can provide:

My great- great- grandmother, Helen Rule, was born in Camborne on 12.15.1863

as the daughter of William Henry Rule (* 01.18.1841, Camborne + 04.11.1917, Camborne)

and

Mary Jane Hocking/Hoking/ Hawkin??? (birth date unknown, died 06.13.1881, Blights Row, Redruth)

Helen had fou or five siblings: Minnie, Annie, Lily (probably nicknames) and Charles and Samuel.

My great- great- grandmother married my great- great- grandfather Johann Leonhardt Braunsberg on 08.30.1883 in Camborne/ Cornwall.

William Henry Rule is supposed to have been a wealthy businessman in the mining business, owning mines in South Africa, but it's possible that's just a legend.

I would be so thankful for any information about the family.
Thank you very much, Carola
