Meath / MARKS family/ies in Kells, Meath
« on: Friday 16 September 22 05:14 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find out more information about John Marks and Mary (Clinton?) who had 3 children baptised in Kells 1783-1792 (Robert, Eleanor, Elizabeth) and there may be more children I don't know about.  I would love to know where and when John and Mary married or even where/when they died.

Does anyone know what became of this family?

I'm also trying to find out more about Cormack Marks who had a son John baptised in Kells in 1791 but I can find nothing about Cormack in in any records so far.  I've tried RootsIreland, Ancestry and Findmypast but no luck so far.

Many thanks

I would be most interested to hear from anyone who has MARKS ancestry in the South Petherton area and especially if you know of MARKS' that moved from South Petherton across to Ireland in 1600/1700's.

I am trying to find out the address of the church my ancestors were married in.  It is listed as St. Peter's new Parish church, Bayswater but when I google it nothing comes up except St. Peter's, Notting Hill.  Can anyone give me any guidance on it's location please?

Australia / Ship Surgeon's Journal for HMS Tortoise journey to Tasmania 1841/1842
« on: Sunday 09 October 16 06:20 BST (UK)  »
I believe I have tried Australian websites including the National Archives of Australia and UK sites including The National Archives in search of the Ship surgeon's journal for the convict voyage of the HMS Tortoise from England to Australia 1841-1842.  Does anyone know if such a journal still exists and if yes, where it can be accessed?

Many thanks

Waterford / MARKS family of Waterford, Ireland
« on: Saturday 17 September 16 07:21 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find information on 3 siblings - William, Henry and George Marks b. circa 1820's.  In 1849 George Marks was tried, convicted and sent to Van Diemen's Land as a 23 yr old convict.  Henry was living in Manchester, England and William was somewhere in Waterford Co.  I know what became of George Marks but would love to know anything about Henry and William or who their parents were.

Huntingdonshire / James and Charles Pettifer/Pettifor
« on: Sunday 31 July 16 01:26 BST (UK)  »
I can find a James and Charles Pettifer/Pettifer (sons of John and Jane Pettifor) listed on the 1841 and 1851 UK census for St. Neot's Hunts.  They are both listed as being born in Hunts and being born c. 1835.  According to an ad placed in a St. Neot's newspaper in 1889 they fought in the Battle of Alma and the Baltic campaign.  One of them was definitely alive when this ad was published as it was an ad placed by one of them seeking work in the Hunts area. 

I can find no record of births for them in the UK so far or where/when they died.  Any suggestions appreciated.

Can anyone tell me if the emigrant ship named "Martin Luther" and owned by Duncan Gibbs of Liverpool, England was the same "Martin Luther" that was used to transport female convicts from Dublin to Australia in 1852?

Kildare / newspaper coverage of trials in Kildare
« on: Friday 20 May 16 09:39 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone know which newspaper would have reported trials around 1851 in Kildare and where they might be available online?  I am trying to research a convict who was tried at this time.

I have a death record for Quinton McIntosh d. 1855 which says he was buried in the Portobello churchyard, Edinburgh.  Which church would this mean?  Any ideas??
