Title: Alfred and Rebekah Herring
Post by: gela on Monday 04 March 19 18:21 GMT (UK)

Hello i wonder please if anyone knows anything about this family

Alfred and Rebekah Herring

Everilda Herring born 1840 Hilston yorks

Louis Herring born 1843 Harmston Lincs

Moses Herring born 1845 Eastrington yorks

I noticed Louis was baptised on the 21st June Harmston and Adillarania Brown daughter of Francis and Rosetta was baptised on the 25th June Harmston.Just wondered if they might have been traveling together.

Many thanks

Hello

This family have a family tree in a new book just published by the Romany and Traveller Family History Society, in a chapter about the Heron/Herring clan. It's called "Ten Major Families of Wales & The English West & North" by Eric Trudgill. Can't see any marriages between Browns and Herrings in this specific branch of the Heron/Herring family but there are such marriages/partnerships in other branches.

It looks like the Everilda born 1840 may have died young as this couple named another daughter Eldarifa in 1850. (Or perhaps they baptised the same daughter a second time... :))

There's more about this book on this page of the RTFHS website:
