Hertfordshire / Re: Info. request: Rainbow family. (from Australia)

There is a good  chance we are related...  ???
My line of descent comes through  Joseph Rainbow, I guess that makes me a great-great- ? not sure how many greats grand-daughter. Of his children I am related to Catherine Drever Rainbow, who married William Meldrum Chapman...  and then on from there my grandmothers. :)

Thankyou :)
Yes the main Island makes sense for where they would come from as they used to worship (it is said in the same place I got the info about Cleat) at St Magnus.

Orkney / Info.. Cleat?
« on: Thursday 30 December 04 13:44 GMT (UK)  »
In researching my family history, I have come accross a reference to a "house called Cleat" which the family resided in.
My ancestress was Anne Sinclair who married William Downie and then immigrated to Australia, keen on info about the house - wether it was really the name of the house or not.

Thankyou for any info.

Thankyou for this info :) I dont think it is the same family ... as I am pretty certain they were free settlers.. (Well as free as any lol) I guess some things remain a mystery.. too many years passed!

And yes it ought to be on the other  board but I must have mis-read this!  :-[

Thankyou... Happy New Year.

Hertfordshire / Info. request: RAINBOW family. (from Australia)
« on: Friday 05 November 04 04:14 GMT (UK)  »
 I have a Baptism dated 12th Sept 1790 in Elstree Hertsfordshire for a Joseph Rainbow, his father is Thomas Rainbow and his mother is listed simply as Mary.
I then have a Henry Rainbow (son presumably) born aprox. 1820 in Elstree Hertsfordshire UK and then married in 1853 in Melbourne Australia.
That gap is substantial and I have no way of knowing if his family came out as a whole or if he came out as a young man.

I am trying to find this info from Australia.

Thankyou for any help!!

Herefordshire / Looking for Info: Rainbow
« on: Thursday 15 July 04 09:56 BST (UK)  »
Hi there, I am new to these boards so I hope I am following along on the right way to do things.

i have records that tell me the Rainbow Family originating in Hertsfordshire immigrated to Australia sometime between 1821 and 1864. I have the name Joseph Rainbow (son of Thomas and Mary ?) Christening date - 12 Sept 1790. I might be fishing for straws but I am hoping to furnish more details if possible.

Thankyou to anyone who can help!
