Dorset / Re: Lulworth Cove, O'GORMAN photos?
« on: Friday 24 September 10 04:37 BST (UK)  »
I probably 1st saw them a couple of years ago searching online about Mervyn.  Several sites mention or show them.  I've emailed all, museums - gallery's - individuals - blogs,  but no further info.
All the sites credit him as the photographer and girl as his daughter.  His death? bio credits him for being a well known photograher.  I haven't seen any documents for her.

Hello Everyone,

YES, the 'Retronaut' photo site. I sent him an email awhile ago asking.  He was nice to answer with no information but would like to hear if I find any.

Google YES, won't let me see these pages, but the same information is in other books Google will let me see.  If yours go back far enough to show -
Rev. Evans at Rostrevor was my 3rd Greatgrandfather, son of Elizabeth Scriven & John Evans.

The novels interesting - (reading addict ) - see if I can find a copy over here  :D

Lovely to see you all visiting about this, Who knows where a new lead may come from.  I too got a copy  of Mervyns life & obit but as you agree, not the family info that helps find anyone.

Hope your summer's still going strong over there,   ;D Katie

Hi ladies  :D

I was able to use your links and go directly to the census pages  ;D.  & I'll print them out for reference.

As far as I know there was no brother James, but Hey? could have been a cousin or other?

Margaret Barclay Crawford wed Edmond John Whyte O'Gorman;

 Mervyn Archdall Joseph Pius O'Gorman wed Florence 
 Cecil Carleton Crawford ( artist, went to Mexico, sons Juan & Edmundo )
 Bernardine Beauchamp Colclough O'Gorman   - no info

I copy what I can from google/books and am always ordering things thru the library from other holdings.  I didn't note which book this attachment is from  ???
O'hart's "Origin & Stem of the Irish Nation", page 141 shows this same and more.

Thanks William,

I have a lovely letter from Philip John Marmion, who is quite elderly now.  He is the son of Philip Henry Marmion on the bottom of the stone.  This is such a lovely photo.  I want to print and send it over to him.  He lives in Surrey.

Best Regards always,  from California,  Katie

WCasey,

I am such a SCHMUCK, I didn't realize how long its been since I've come back to Rootschat.  We moved last winter a few miles to another town & I got off track about things.  NO excuse, but that's what happened.  I apologize I didn't reply sooner.  I just opened your Wonderful note with the beautiful photo a minute ago.  I can see &  read everything on it clearly, plus having your transcription.

YES. this is the stone I have been looking for.  It's lasted in great condition. I have since found a wonderful genalogy site for the Clan Marmion.  Would you mind if I share this with them, & I will credit you for it.  I had given up finding it, figuring mother nature or man's 'progress' had taken or destroyed it.

I live in Rohnert Park, California, which is about 1-2 hours north of San Francisco.  If I can do anything for you over here, just ask  ;D

Warmest Regards, Katie

Dazey999,

p.s.  Forgot to say the obituary I have is from, 'Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'.  I can't get this from home. My sister-in-law copied it for me using the Berkeley University library subscription.   Should I post it here?

I also put a "looking for information" post, on England's genweb site for County Dorset.  Asking if anyone about Lulworth Cove knew anything?  I looked at using google satellite, a beautiful ClamShell Cove.  Would love to see in person.

Katie

Hey Dazey999,

That was stupid, Duh!  You wrote the photos were 1913!  I can only guess then she could be about 16 at the oldest?

Hello Dazey999,

Yes, your correct, copied the 1911 census & no Christine.  I couldn't find them on the 1901.

All the photo sites say, "Christine is Mervyns' daughter", is all I know. 

OOPs! checked my facts, Mervyn died at home, 21 Embankment Gardens, Chelsea.  ( Why did I think Brighton  ???  Wonder who that was, no matter )
Same obituary story says he married Florence in 1897.  She would be about age 43 then. 

I don't remember seeing any dates on the photographs.  That would help figure out Christine's possible age.  Reasons she may not be on the 1911; away at school, visiting - not home, not born? ( after 13 years? ) 

 ;D  Katie

Essex Completed Lookup Requests / Mervyn O'Gorman - looking 4 Christine & ?
« on: Wednesday 25 August 10 03:40 BST (UK)  »
 Christine O'Gorman photographed at Lulworth Cove, by her Father, Mervyn O'Gorman.

Mervyn dies 1958 at Brighton.  Looking to find what happened to Christine.  Siblings?  Did she marry?  any children?

Dr. Mervyn Archdall NOTT Crawford our ancestor in common.

I've written to every online post with the pictures   &/or Mervyn but no-one knows anything    ???.  He was important in early 1900's aviation & military, wrote the driving manual, photographer ...

Best Regards  from California,    Katie
