Australia / Fisher and Stanway - who were they?
« on: Tuesday 14 May 13 01:46 BST (UK)  »
I have a GGrandmother, Isabella Fisher, b1876 in St Marys d1949, Parramatta. She married John Stettler in 1887.   I know who Isabella's parents were from her marriage certificate, they were Robert Fisher and Susan Stanway, but I have hit a brickwall finding out who they were, or when the family came to Australia.

I found a fisher family in Port Macquarie/Kempsey, but they are not them.

Does anyone have any suggestions?  In 1876  St Marys must have been quite a small place then.

Hi Bob ,
Sorry I have not replied before, but I have been busy with researching the Fisher connectin in my family.
I found I had it wrong, and that the Robert Fisher I have married Susan Stanway - cant find the marriage anywhere yet!
I dont think it is the same Robert Fisher I thought it was.
You never know though, we may still be related yet!

Buckinghamshire Lookup Requests / FISHER family
« on: Saturday 18 February 12 00:23 GMT (UK)  »
I have finaly found the convict in the family!  Very exciting!
In some of the records, he is listed as from Buckinghamshire.
I was hoping someone may be able to find him in a census -
ROBERT FISHER born aprox 1805-7

He was tried for Grand Larceny and transported in 1827.  Thats about all I know about him, except there is some unconfirmed information that his parents were Thomas and Suzanah

Any help would be appreciated.

Kent / Re: How to find out about builders in Kent - CLARK family

Thanks Zacktyre.
 All I know at present is that they lived in Wellington Row, Ramsgate, County of Kent, Isle of Thanet in 1849.  The family seems to have stayed in Ramsgate for a couple of generations after that.
Do you think that helps to track anthing down?  Definately it was a trade passed on from father to son, right down to the 1900's, the boys in the family were all builders - even once they emigrated to Australia.

Kent / How to find out about builders in Kent - CLARK family
« on: Sunday 01 January 12 21:45 GMT (UK)  »
I have found my CLARK family ancestors back to the 1700's in Kent, and they all seem to be builders.  Does anyone have any suggestions for resources to find out a bit more about their building activities or apprenticeships?  Any help will be appreciated.

One Name Studies: A to G / Re: CHARMAN one name study
« on: Sunday 03 October 10 22:34 BST (UK)  »

Just some information on William Stewart Heard and his wife Elizabeth,  in 1901 they were living in Hale, Farnham Rural, Hale, Surrey, England.  From the Chelse Soldiers Records, Williams DOB is:  1857 Born in Parish of birth: BallymoneyTown of birth: Ballymoney County of birth: Antrimnt.
Hope this adds a bit more the the tale for you.

 

Hi, I found the same marriage too between George Charman and Louisa Binfield Jun q 1921 Farnham. I haven't looked up details of that one so far, and I can't presently identify that George Charman.

There is also a marriage between Louisa Charman and Henry Edwin Harding 25/6/1940 in West Grinstead. The PR entry says Louisa was age 62, widow, and her father was William Stewart Heard (dec), Labourer.  Henry Edwin was age 72, widower, gardener and his father was Allen Harding (dec), Carman.  That makes him Henry Edwin Harding baptised 13/9/1867 in Warnham.

In 1911 Louisa gives her age as 31, so she must have been born about 1878-1880, and her parents must be William Stewart Heard and Elizabeth Ellis who married Mar q 1880 in Elham RD.  Theres no obvious birth registration for Louisa as HEARD but I suspect there may be one somewhere as ELLIS. It doesnt help that I couldnt find William Stewart Heard and his family in 1881/1891, nor could I find Louisa in 1901. I only looked at the 1911 census index so I don't know where it says she was born. If you look it up, please let me know.

William Edwin Hardings death appears to be registered Mar q 1955 in Worthing, aged 87.  I couldnt see an obvious death registration for Louisa Harding, but she could be 1Q1968 horsham age 86 (Ref: 5h/978) or 3Q1940 Brighton age 62 (Ref: 2b/658).
