Devon / Re: WOOD family of DEVON, pre-1640
« on: Tuesday 30 January 24 21:43 GMT (UK) »
There are some trees on ancestry that have my Elizabeth Wood on them, and her father. how accurate they are I have no idea, and it may be a large rabbit hole as they might not even be related to your John Wood

I do have an Elizabeth Wood as one of my ancestors, she married a Richard Cottell, he was born about 1583 in North Tawton Devon England. But because the surname is fairly common, I have been unable to find her father. or any other information about her, just one line in a secondary source is all I have, She may be related to your John Wood or not, but obviously its not a yDNA descent.

Barnardo's was just one of many err "charities", that sent hundreds and thousand of children into child labor from England to Australia and Canada and others, in Australia this was still happening in the 1960's.

Wexford / Re: Ballyhire in Wexford

Cadwallader Edwards
The will of Cadwallader Edwards of Ballyhide, Wexford was proved at the Prerogative Court of Canterbury on 28 Jun 1824
His will is here
https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D167735
In a nutshell he willed the following
Left furniture, plates, etc to wife Elizabeth Camilla
Left his estates to his brother-in-law William Tudor of Tenby, Pembrokeshire and Henry Arthur Esq. of Bally??bin, Wexford. Annuities from this estate would go to his wife and his daughter Elizabeth Camilla. If Camilla died without issue, this would go to his nephew Cadwallader Palmer and his heirs (as long as they took the name and arms of Edwards)
£500 to his sister Elizabeth Palmer
£100 each to his sisters Anne Wilson, Winnifred Wolseley, and Amy Evans
His wife was to continue to reside at Ballyhire
William Tudor and Henry Arthur were the executors.
I am descended from his sister Elizabeth Palmer mentioned in the will and this will began a long line
of men in my family of being Cadwallader Edwards Palmer
The father of this Cadwallader Edwards and Elizabeth Palmer was also Cadwallader Edwards, there is a marriage for a Cadwallader Edwards listed in 1768 to Elizabeth or Eliza Donovan, the date fits the place fits, he in turn is speculated to be the son of Cadwallader Paul Edwards. There is good circumstantial evidence for this. And his father was a Henry Edwards, but you guessed it his father was also another Cadwallader Edwards and now we are back to the middle 1600's.
How accurate is all of this, I am not 100% sure, if you want more details of this family

Ireland / Re: Emigration route for Australia in 19th century
« on: Saturday 09 September 23 05:41 BST (UK) »
the Suez canal opened on the 17 November 1869. So they probably went from Ireland, through the straights of Gilbralter, sailing across the Mediterranean sea to Egypt on onto the red sea and then the Indian sea.
Before the Suez canal opened it was a very long voyage, the original 1st fleet, sailed from Portsmouth, to the canary islands then to Rio de Janeiro, to the cape of good hope, and then Australia, this route avoided the much more dangerous Cape Horn.

The Common Room / Re: What is Geneanet
« on: Wednesday 06 September 23 02:22 BST (UK) »
Geneanet is not a collaborate one tree site like Geni, FamilySearch, WeRelate or Wikitree (wikitree had a security breach so be aware of that)
Every tree is separate and just like Ancestry and My heritage the quality of sources and relationships on there vary considerably.
Personally I have found that the quality has gone down there since Ancestry took it over.
Verify, verify and verify all data on all genealogical websites.

Dear Marzian, very interesting links, I have lost all faith in Wikitree to tell the truth about this incident,
