Cambridgeshire / Where did they live? LEACH

« on: Saturday 25 February 17 20:53 GMT (UK) »

Evening, I am trying to find out where the following lived in Cambridge. If you are able to point me in the right direction please.
1. Barnet LEACH , 1st master cook at Trinity - 1734-1792 (my 5x grt grandfather)
2. Barnet LEACH, Master joiner - 1695 - 1737 (my 6x grt grandfather)
3. Frances LEACH, death cert shows Thompsons Lane, no number (my 4x grt grandmother)

I really want to have the details to visit where they lived. I live 13 miles from Cambridge but am a Lancashire lass by birth. Imagine my shock/delight when I discovered I have roots in beautiful Cambridge.

Other Countries / India - Death - RR Thurston

« on: Friday 06 January 17 19:12 GMT (UK) »

Evening, I am looking for the death of my Great Great Grandfather, Robert Rump THURSTON. I have his birth cert 1852 (London) and his marriage to Eva Georgina in 1879 (India) but cannot locate his death any where. (Find my past/Ancestry/FIBIS/Family search)
Eva died in 1897 in Calcutta, her death was recorded in the Times of India " at 6 Old Conductors Quarters, Hastings, Calcutta. Eva Georgina, wife of RR Thurston & Daughter of Mrs S Leach"
Was Robert still alive then???
My Family remained in India until 1949 so I suspect this is where Robert died.
Any help or advice appreciated

London and Middlesex / My Grt Grandfather, Frederick DONLAN and his step-Brother George HOPKINS

« on: Thursday 29 December 16 17:15 GMT (UK) »

Afternoon all, I've spent a vast amount of time trying to track down my Grt Grandfather, Frederick DONLAN & his family.
I've got his army record (served Royal Artillery 42797) and on his papers he is shown as born in Middlesex and he has listed his NoK as his step-Brother, George HOPKINS residing at 2 Clarence Terrace, Teddington.
In 1903 he married my Grt Grandmother, Frances Mina Beatrice THURSTON in India, his Father is noted as Alfred DONLAN.
Ive found HOPKINS on 1800's census living in Teddington but cant positively link him to Frederick.
Can anyone help.....please! I'm at a loss as what to do next. Thank you in advance

« on: Sunday 09 October 16 20:22 BST (UK) »

I am looking for my Grt Grt Grand Father, John Fadian who according to the Family story died in 1881 on the day my Grt Grand Mother was born.
It is thought he was on his way back from market & got caught in a snow storm. He was found some time later in a ditch.
I cannot find any records in his name but have come across John Padian, died 1881, age 31 in Strokestown. This could well be him!
Is anyone able to look at the record for me.....please, and if this is him advise how I can get a copy of the certificate.
Returns year 1881.....Returns quarter 1.....Vol 3.....Page 298
Thank-you in advance

Evening, is there anyone who could look at the deaths for 1881 and see if they can find my Grt Grt Grand father, John Fadian.

The story goes that he died coming home from market in a blizzard on 27/01/1881 the very day his Daughter, Bridget (my Great Grand Mother) was born.

I've tried to find him but have drawn a blank, any help much appreciated.
