Census Lookup and Resource Requests / Re: Brick Wall due to marriage not with GRO
« on: Thursday 25 April 24 18:19 BST (UK)  »
Hi and thanks very much for the replies which are appreciated. I did indeed assume that they must have gone to Narbeth to get married, which is a bit of a jaunt, however on receipt of the certificate it became clear that it wasn't them. The reason being is that my William was a fisherman, except in 1846 on his daughter Mary's birth cert he is a clog maker. I was able to trace the other William (the collier) in the censuses proving they were seperate families. Sigh

You make a good point though, if they were not married maybe they waited until later in life and went elsewhere. His daughter Maria's marriage cert claims he was deceased by 1880 at her time of marriage. Is it possible that they NEVER married?

Census Lookup and Resource Requests / Brick Wall due to marriage not with GRO
« on: Thursday 25 April 24 09:19 BST (UK)  »
Hi I recently built my existing family tree on familysearch and the fan chart is excellent as it is printable and quickly shows where the gaps in your research are...

One such gap and brick wall that has been bugging me for years is that I cannot find the marriage of my GGG grandparents and so don't know their fathers names to go back further. They are William John b1815-1820 of St Dogmells, Pembrokeshire and Ann(e) Griffiths b1823-1826 of either of Tremain or Blaenporth, Cardiganshire. They appear to have had their first child in 1846 so should be married by then but I just cant find it. Any help greatly appreciated in filling in the hole in my tree.

Thanks

Antrim / Re: Finding death date, or graves of my GG Grandparents in Malone

This page has some history to St John's, Malone http://malone.connor.anglican.org/history_page/history.htm

...but no mention of graves or cemetary so maybe it never had a graveyard. Did members of this church get buried in one of the belfast cemeterys, and does anyone have any idea which one?

Antrim / Finding death date, or graves of my GG Grandparents in Malone
« on: Wednesday 24 April 24 17:30 BST (UK)  »
Hi all

Just wondering if anyone can help. I have recently re created my tree on familysearch as the fan chart is so good and it shows any gaps in information so well. One gap is the birth and death dates of my GG Grandparents in Malone, Belfast. Their names are Robert Walker born around 1876 and Sarah Philpot born around 1877. In particular I would like to know where their grave might be. They were married in St
John's church so I'm guessing they could be in there. Are there any inscriptions to be had anywhere online? I'm quite far away and have young children so a visit wont happen for quite some time unfortunately.

Thanks

Hi both

Yes Portsea, sorry.

Ok thanks for the information I will have a go on FindMyPast, it must have been a decade since I was last a member on there. Is there anything that FindMyPast offers that my usual website, Ancestry, does not provide that will be worthwhile checking out whilst I am there?

Thanks

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / How to access Portsmouth St Mary parish registers
« on: Saturday 04 November 23 11:33 GMT (UK)  »
Hi I usually like to find the specific entry of a baptism, marriage etc for my records, but in the usual website I cannot seem to locate what I want? I'm guessing the registers for this parish are not available. Does anyone know why?

Thanks

Other Countries / Re: Ancestor from Malta born 1850's

Hi All

2 years on from the last post, I'd love to find out more about Mary's parents, Charles and Caroline Ellul of Malta. I have nothing to suggest they ever left Malta so how do I go about locating any details a good start would be their daughter Mary's birth in Malta ?

Or indeed why she was a widow at 20 odd years old?

I'm guessing she was born Maria and her parents were Carlo and Carolina?

Thanks
