Sarah Stichborn was born in Westham which is only six miles from Hailsham in 3.sep.1713. Almost certainly a niece or something like that

this guy is from Michelsburg, only 10km from Romersberg, and could well be the father but no way to prove it at this point. Again, my thanks. http://gw.geneanet.org/hiimpact?lang=en;pz=heinz+georg;nz=klippert;ocz=0;p=jacob;n=fenner;oc=1

Thanks for your help. I have new information that he only lived in Essen and was born in Römersberg, Hesse-Kassel. His wife was also born there but I am not totally sure on her name.

Searching for birth certificate/ parents for Jacob Fenner b 1802 in Essen. Spouse Anna Martha Grebruse, they moved to USA in 1849 and had children. (All my data sources for this are US Census, haven't found any records from Essen). Would love to find German records.

New information. There's a record of a H. Hastings arriving in Sydney aboard "Costa Rica Packet" originating in Liverpool. If this is Horace it suggests he may have been born on the western side of the english isle.

In that era, the USA was by far the largest source of whaling ships bound for the Southern Hemisphere. Perhaps there's an American connection as well. (Update: I have found a record of this ship leaving Eureka, California Goldfields port, two years prior)

investigations are going well. i believe the root cause of the confusion is how FreeBMD only goes back to 1837. This means the parents of someone born 1867 (Horace) may not be on there.

strange. there's yet another tree from a Chris Hastings...only the dates and some of the names don't match.

thanks Tony. oh man this is epically confusing  :-\

Horace Warner's mother was Maria Batchelor, not Maria Postlethwaite...

have just revisited Horace's death cert issued in Victoria. His parents are clearly Richard and Maria Postlethwaite

How peculiar. someone purporting to be Christopher Hastings has uploaded an extensive family tree on a popular and very expensive paysite. this tree shows the ancestry of Horace stretching back up to six more generations.
