Family History Beginners Board / Surname Voisey Havis
« on: Tuesday 10 April 18 11:43 BST (UK)  »
Hey everyone, I am loving how much information you guys can come up with! 

So - I have found information that Samuel Voisey (b. 1790) m Susannah Hunter (b. 1797).

All of their children have the surname of Havis -
Susanah Havis b 1816
Richard Voisey Havis b 1816
John Voisey Havis b 1819 (my ancestor)
Ann Susannah Voisey Havis b 1821
Mary Elizabeth Havis b 1825

He marries as John Voisey Havis. 

John has a son William, who is named William Voisey, and on the birth certificate John is noted as John Voisey.  The Havis name has been dropped!

I cannot find how the Havis name came into it - and why it was then dropped. 

Any idea's on how I can find information on this would be much appreciated.

Regards
Wendy

Thanks for the tip - Clark is a pretty common name, but obviously the mother's maiden name has to match!  Will try that  :)

Hello,
My great grandmother, Bertha Ada Clark appears to have had 11 brothers and 11 sisters (23 children).  I know they had alot of children back then, but I want to check if this is correct.  The information I have is:-
Father:  Henry Edwin Clark b 29 April 1844 - Middlesex
Mother:  Ann Maria Newman b 22 April 1845 - Middlesex
married 25 December 1861
children listed as:-
Frederick Giles Clark - 1862 - 1918
Ernest William Clark - 1862 -
Emma Ann Clark -1862 -
George Samuel Clark - 1864 - 1939
Julia Emma Clark - 1866 - 1932
Samuel Clark - 1867 - 1939
James Clark - 1867 - 1869
Harry Clark - 1868 - 1949
Henry Edwin Clark - 1870 - 1958
Kate Clark - 1871 - 1957
Ann Maria Clark - 1872 - 1950
Frederick Clark - 1875 -
Jane Clark - 1875 - 1950
Florence Clark - 1877 -
John Clark - 1877 -
Bertha Ada Clark  *** my ancestor - 1879 - 1857
Clara Maud Clark - 1880 - 1969
Minnie Clara Clark - 1882 - 1967
Edith Clark - 1883 - 1932
Emily Beatrice Clark - 1883 -
George Clark - 188 - 1942
Adelaide V E Clark - 1886 -
Arthur V E Clark - 1886 -
Albert Ernest Clark - 1889 - 1951

From looking at the dates it could be that several of the pregnancies were twins, and that some didn't survive.    Just wanting to find out if the information I have is correct - as that is a LOT of children! 

Thank you in advance

Wendy

Very good point !  I don't know that - and to be honest the person that left the information about this was wrong about some other stuff!

I may be looking for something that doesn't exist lol. 

Thanks - sometimes you can have the blinkers on and need someone to help take them off!

Thanks Roger - yes I have tried searching under Voysey as well.  All official records are written as Voisey

Family History Beginners Board / Surname: Voisey

Hi,
I am trying to find information about the Voisey's that made fine hand crafted furniture in London in the late 1890's - early 1900's through to about 1950's.  My great grandfather Walter Voisey (b. 1878) apparently worked there with his older brother, which I was told was Robert, but I now believe it was Bertie Alfred Voisey (b. 1886).  I have all the names of parents (William and Mary Ann Voisey) and of siblings, spouses, etc.  Walter emigrated to Australia in 1925.

I have been told that the furniture was quite spectacular, and on an Antique Roadshow the expert said, when seeing a piece "There is no doubting its a Voisey", so I'm surprised I can't find anything on Google. 

Any info would be appreciated.  Thanks, Wendy

Hello, My name is Wendy.  My parents are (*).  I was born in (*) and my sister in (*).  However I have heard that my parents may have had a son before they were married (maybe between 1954 to 1956).  Both my parents were born in Victoria, but I have been led to believe that perhaps my mother was sent to NSW  to give birth to the son, who was then adopted out.  My parents went on to be married in 1957  Does anyone know how i could find information about this?  My father died in 1996 and my mother is still alive
