Good afternoon, Leslie and Carole,

Yes, Leslie, it appears that William Robert Hines and William Robert Haines are one in the same, for William Hines married Maria Ann Mansfield.

Now, I'm wondering if you could help me with a small snag I've run into: is it possible to verify if William Robert Hines (Haines)'s father was also called William Hines, who was baptrized/christened on Nov. 15, 1824.

If so, then William Hines's father would be William Hopkin Hines, who was baptized christened on Nov 10, 1791; and his father would be Joseph Hinds (note the change in spelling: Hinds, not Hines), who married Frances Hopkin on May 22, 1788.

Here's what I've been able to piece together from my searches:

  Joseph Hinds and Frances Hopkin's children and their baptismal/christening dates: 

     Mary Hinds—June 28, 1789
     William Hopkin Hines—Nov. 10, 1791
     John Hines— April 9, 1794
     Thomas Hines—April 7, 1796
     Joseph Hines—Oct. 6, 1799
     Robert Hines—March 1802
     Betty Hines—Oct. 12, 1803
     Emma Hines—Oct. 3, 1824
     John Hines—July 2, 1826
     Susan Hines—March 2, 1828
     Joel Hines—Sept. 20, 1829

All the family came from Outwell, Norfolk.

Thank you.

Season's Greetings!

Jack
 

Good day, Everyone,

Is there a standard genealogical abbrevation for a name change?  I have relatives who Anglicized their European name when they immigrated to Canada. 

On the flow chart I'm working on, I need to indicate the two names but need an abbreviation to highlight such a change. 

Of course, if there isn't any standard abbrevation, I can always create one. 

Thanks,

Jack

Good day,

Would anyone have the urls for monument inscriptions in Blakeney, King's Lynn, and Walsingham, please?

I'm looking for any Hines, Hains, or Haines interred there.

Thanks much,

Jack Haines

Good afternoon, Everyone,

Per an 1874 registry, "Deaths in the District of Wick in the County of Caithness," P. 18, No. 54, for "JOHN MACKENZIE," who died April 23 . . . 

I'm looking for any information on his birthplace and the final resting places of him and his wife, MARY (née DOULL). 

I've checked all the on-line gravestone monuments in the counties of Wick and Ross & Cromarty, from where, according to later censuses, Stornoway is their place of origin.

Today I sent an e-mail to the Northern Archives in Wick, as they might have information not readily available on-line, and am waiting to hear from them.

I would also like to find any information on his father, also called JOHN MACKENZIE, and his wife, ANN (née HARPER).

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Jack Haines

 

Good morning, Everyone,

From the enclosed certificate, below, would anyone know offhand the name of the Blakeney church shown: No. 127—William Hines and Maria Ann Mansfield.  The church in doesn't appear to be Anglican. 

Thank you,

Jack
