Berkshire Lookup Requests / Re: Missing daughter

Yes - Maria Louisa Martyn bn 15 Oct 1833 ... for some reason she was baptised twice. 
Father was Charles Cecil Martyn bn 18 Feb 1803.  GF was Charles Fuller Martyn bn 1758 in Charleston Carolina.  Charles Fuller was Sherriff of Calcutta in 1790 - had a long standing affair with an Indian lady called Marie - so Charles Cecil and Francis Mountjoy were Anglo Indian.  Have you come across Francis Mountjoys involvement with a Miss Howard and Napolean III ?  The Martyn family line traces back to Nicholas Martiau bn France 1591 ... he's also the oldest known direct relative of George Washington.

Her mother was Maria Georgiana Elliot (the christian names echo back up the family tree for about 4 generations) bn 1811 London.  Maria Georgiana's Grandfather was John Coakley Lettsom (Google him).

I've got a lot more and am happy to send over any info I have if you want it.

Regards

Mark

Hi Roy - yes, I can fill in both sides of the Martyn/Elliot family back to about the 1760s ..

Are you directly related to her ?

I stumbled across this by accident yesterday and have not used the site before ... how do we exchange email addresses ?

Mark.

Hi ...

Maria and Fredericks daughter, Georgiana Lousia Weatherly was left with her grandmother Maria Georgiana Elliot when she was less than a month old, when her parents went to India.  They subsequently came back to the UK and lived in Brighton and then went to South Africa where they divorced and Fredecrick was then killed at Hlobane.  I can fill in most of the gaps if you want ... how do you want the info.

Looks like we're distant relatives ... Mary Ann Beldom (James' Daughter) married Thomas Darbon.  They were my G*3 Grandparents.

Any more info would be much appreciated.  Similarly you're welcome to anything I've got (although I think you're way ahead of me on this one).

Hi Groom - sorry to take this off topic for a moment, but have you got the sources for Catherine Bowbrick's marriage to James Beldom and do you have any more info going back via John and hester.
Many thanks.
