Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / LACEY family
« on: Wednesday 02 October 13 12:40 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me - I'm researching the Lacey family and have found connections to the Isle of Wight and in particular Jessie Lacey mentioned in posts on this thread: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=543330.0. I'm trying to work out how they are related.

I'm researching George William Lacey born May 1878. His father was Benjamin Lacey born in Norwich (1922 - 1903) and his mum was Mary Ann Taylor (1851-?) born in Dorchester.

He served in the army and was travelling around the Middle East a lot. In 1901 he was a soldier living on IOW in Yaverland. He married Edith Emma Edwards in Shanklin, Isle of Wight in 1903 (she dies in India a few years later). He then married Carolina Mari La Cari in Shanklin, IOW in May 191. JESSIE LACEY was a witness as was Robert Gooden. I can't work out the connection here. Carolina died (perhaps in India?) in 1919. He then went on to have a child - (George Benjamin Lacey) with Georgina Kate Hewitt in 1920, on his army discharge records he claims he was married but I haven't found any record of this. In 1919 he was living in Shanklin, IOW.

Can anyone fit this Lacey family into their family trees?
Looking forward to getting to the bottom of this!

World War Two / Re: Royal Ulster Rifles, John McKeown, Corporal WW2

Hi, I wonder if this is the same McKeown family I'm trying to trace?

My great grandad was John McKeown from County Cavan, he married Catherine Drumm in 1926 in the church of Miltown, Killashandra, Cavan. I believe he was quite a lot older than Catherine who was approx 20 at the time of the wedding.

I believe he had 2 brothers and a sister, 1 brother and sister went to the USA and the other brother fought in a war (not sure if it was the 1st or 2nd). The brother that fought in the war went on to have around 12 children and I believe he lived in County Tyrone around 1940.

Their father was called John McKeown.

Could this be the same John that you are referring to? But what's the chances of having a father with 2 son's called John!

Travelling People / Re: George Smith & Rodha Ann 19th century
« on: Friday 13 September 13 14:48 BST (UK)  »
Thanks to everyone who has helped so far. I went back through Baptism records and can confirm Rodha Ann (also know as Rodianne) and Cloder are in fact the same person! So that's one mystery solved!

I'm still trying to trace Rodha Ann and George though, I can't seem to find any information on their marriage. I have found baptism records for younger 4 of their children but no birth records for any of the children. If I could get the birth record I could order the certificate and get Rodha's maiden name. Can anyone help?

Essex Lookup Requests / George Williams Way, Colchester
« on: Sunday 08 September 13 18:48 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew the history of a street called George Williams Way in Colchester. My ancestor was George Williams and in the 1871 census he is listed as living in Bakers Row, off Magdalen Street, George Williams Way is also off Magdalen Street. In 1872 he married Eleanor Sutton and is listed as being a gardener of Magdalen St. He moved to Twickenham, Middlesex by 1891 but I can't find him on the 1881 census.

I'm wondering if it's coincidence the street was called that or is there some connection? Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks for all your help everyone  :)

I'm looking into the idea that Rodha Ann & Cloder are the same person but the original census records are quite clear and I think they are different but it's strange they are both born in Burnley albeit 4 years apart.

I've ordered their daughters marriage certificate as I can't find any more information as yet, hopefully this will shed some light on the surname of Rodha Ann

Yes, it's a duplicate post. I'm quite new and thought I would have a better chance of a reply if I added it to two categories. Thank you for the information on the other post, I saw the connection too :-)

Travelling People / George Smith & Rodha Ann 19th century
« on: Tuesday 20 August 13 20:19 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I'm wondering if someone can help me, I'm trying to trace my great, great grandparents. They were Romany Gypsy's. I'm looking for more information on Rodha Ann (no surname known) so far I've found her only in the 1881 census
 - Age 29 residence Colne, Lancashire. Birth place stated about 1852 Barnsley

She was also known as Rodianne according to the birth certificate of daughter Angelina.

She had children with George Smith:
Angelina Smith (1872), Nicholis smith (1874), Eliza Smith (1877), Isaac Smith (1881) and Ada Smith (1883)

Can anyone help with finding her surname,  marriage record and death, I'd like to be able to go further up the tree with her. It looks like she died between 1883 and 1891 as George appears on the 1891 census as married to "Cloder" from Barnsley. They were residence in Rochdale, Lancashire at the time and had Thom Smith (1881). Cannot find them on any more census records or their marriage certificate.

More about George Smith:
Born approx 1853, 1 census record states "Bucknunston, Rutland", the other one states "Willowby, Rutland". I can't find anything further on George and would love to find his birth, death, marriages(s) certificates and any other census records with him in them.

Hope someone can help, thanks!
