Armed Forces / Re: CHARLES TUCKEY Cheshire Regiment 16th reg number 21590 & Labour Coy (189) 113171
« on: Monday 07 November 22 07:40 GMT (UK)  »
Hi CaroleW, thanks for your opinion. I would have thought that Charles & his regiment would have been too busy for any of them to have had any leave so close to leaving for France. In fact with Charles' recent conduct, it would have been risky to grant him any leave, in case he did not return in time, if at all.
Thanks Andy J2022, either you're a mind-reader or very perceptive! I'm trying to eliminate some of the Tuckey chaps that DNA is pointing towards & thought Charles might be an easy one to remove e.g if all men were confined to camp in preparation of going to France. Even if that was accurate, I suppose he could have always sneaked out for a rendezvous, or she in, shall keep that in mind.
Regards, TonyR.

Could Charles have been home (in Birmingham) between 10/1/16 & 30/1/16?

If I'm reading his papers correctly; Charles was found 'drunk & incapable' on 30/12/15 in Pewsey, sentenced to 10 days C.B. (confined to barracks?) on 1/1/16 through till 10/1/16, before he EMBD (embarked?) on 30/1/16 from Southampton.

As you can probably guess, I'm a novice in relation to soldier's army papers so be gentle.  Would welcome thoughts on whether Charles definitely remained in barracks between 10/1/16 & 30/1/16 or could he have had any home leave during this time?

Derbyshire Lookup Requests / Re: MIs look-ups Church Gresley & Newhall
« on: Friday 01 April 22 08:18 BST (UK)  »
Hi Luke, I had forgotten all about this till you answered, it was a long time ago!

So thanks for your reply, because it made me review my findings so far. I now have a theory as to why Mary Taylor nee White wasn’t buried with her husband William Taylor in Church Gresley, but I need information from St George and St Mary’s Church to confirm / disprove this. I have messaged the church and depending on their response, I might need to take up your offer of help with local information.

What is your lineage to William Taylor & Mary White?

Mine is:- William & Mary are my Great-great-great-great-grandparents
Their daughter Sarah Taylor (ch.27 Sep 1807) married John Rhodes (my Great-great-great-grandparents)
Their son Henry Rhodes (ch.5 Jun 1836) married Elizabeth Reynolds (my Great-great-grandparents)
Their daughter Alice Rhodes (born 3 Mar 1864) married George Day (my Great-grandparents)
Their son George Day married my Granny

Will let you know if church answers and what conclusion (if any) I can formulate from their response. Regards, Tony.

Down / Re: Emerald Ancestors Comber, Co Down Presbyterian records pre 1880
« on: Wednesday 31 March 21 07:43 BST (UK)  »
Hi BallyaltikilliganG, that's an awful lot of info you've provided, it must have taken you ages to do. I have seen some of the sites you mention e.g. the very helpful Ros Davies, Griffiths valuation, etc so thank you for your time and interest.

Talking of time, it's a bit hectic for me at the moment and I will have to set some time aside & be in the right mindset to search the RootsIreland.ie website that Flloyd_JW pointed out to me. I need to get my 'moneys worth' when doing this, so have to compose my research notes beforehand, so as not to miss any avenue. As well as the Smyth girls mentioned earlier, I shall have to look for any of their siblings, plus try to uncover Sarah Wright and her family. I also have my Johnston family to watch out for, especially James born around 1858 and who knows where that will lead.

When I've done all that, I will post back with all the successful matches I've made, before having to lie down in a darkened room to recover. Thanks again for your time, it's much appreciated. Regards, TonyR

Hi Flloyd_JW, thanks for the tip about RootsIreland.ie, it looks really promising. I cannot remember seeing that site before, else I might have solved this years ago! I did a quick search & could see Mary 1853, but not the Mgt 1862 you mention. I just need to devout some time to look around the website, before signing up to see all the information, will let you know how I get on.

Hi Elwyn Soutter, thanks for the info. I believe the Presbyterian Historical Society in Belfast have copies of the records in PRONI, but as you thought, they aren't on-line.

Thanks to you both again, your advice & interest is appreciated. Regards, TonyR.

Down / Re: Emerald Ancestors Comber, Co Down Presbyterian records pre 1880
« on: Monday 22 March 21 08:06 GMT (UK)  »
Hi sam.b, for many years I have had a brick-wall with my G-Grandmother Mary Smyth and resigned myself to not knowing any more about her, unless I could find her baptism.  Info on her from her marriage & census; she was born between 1853 & 1858 in Comber, with a father William.  However three recent Ancestry DNA ‘matches’ to two different Smyth girls has reignited my research.

Margaret Smyth & the married Sarah Jane were lodgers in same house, so not recorded as sisters but I believe they are. Info on them from their marriages & census; Margaret born between 1863 & 1866 in Comber, Sarah Jane born around 1861 and father William.  A fourth Ancestry DNA ‘match’ with an Elizabeth Smyth born 1865, led me to her birth cert & in turn her parents 1850 marriage (source irishgenealogy.ie) both events in Comber.  Her parents were William Smyth & Sarah Jane Wright, with their marriage details – William age 36, father John a Labourer & Sarah Jane age 25, father John a Gardener.

So now I need to check the Comber Presbyterian records to find out if any of these Smyth girls are indeed sisters and that’s why I asked the question about Emerald Ancestors. In reality, I probably need to camp out at PRONI until they re-open, that way I can also find any Smyth siblings and maybe more about William Smyth's lineage, while also keeping an eye out for Sarah Jane Wright’s family.

Thanks for your interest & suggestion.  I regularly visit the site you mention, but they are a ‘History’ site not really into genealogy, but still a very good read if you have an interest in the town. (That said, I am trying to compose a question for them re why so many births were recorded as in High Street, Comber e.g. did the mothers go to Dr. Robert Henry of High Street or was there a 'midwife' located there.)

Regards, TonyR

Down / Emerald Ancestors Comber, Co Down Presbyterian records pre 1880
« on: Saturday 20 March 21 08:25 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all, does anyone know if Emerald Ancestors (EA) have the Presbyterian church records for Comber, County Down?  EA just list St Marys COI for Comber, so I asked them if they had any Presbyterian ones but never had a response, which doesn’t fill me with confidence.

Anyway, I thought I’d ask the knowledgeable people on here to get a definitive answer.  Apologies if this question has been answered before – a quick search didn’t bring up any results.  Regards, TonyR.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Address look-up 1891 & 1901 English census please
« on: Wednesday 12 February 20 11:21 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks Colin & Debra, it's appreciated. My Gran was born & grew up in Steamer Street Barrow-in-Furness (also Grade 11 Listed Buildings) and they look the same type of building.

Debra, you look too refined to be a whiskey drinker ;D I might have joined you a few years ago, but not now. Thanks again. Regards, TonyR.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / COMPLETED Address look-up 1891 & 1901 English census please
« on: Wednesday 12 February 20 10:47 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all, can someone please let me know actual address of Henry Colvin in both 1891 & 1901 English census?

I have found him on Familysearch website, but address isn’t noted.  1891 Henry age 36, a Labourer in Barrow-in-Furness, Lancashire with wife Sarah 29, Henry 8 (all born Ireland) then William 6, Maggie 4 & John 2, all born Lancashire.

1901 Henry age 45, a Mariner in Barrow-in-Furness, Lancashire with wife Sarah J. 40, Sarah 20, Henry 17 (all born Ireland) then Margaret 14, John 12, Mary 10, Archibald 8, Robert 4, Agnes 2 & Elizabeth 0, all born Lancashire. Many thanks. Regards, TonyR.

P.S. There is no need to search for family after 1901, as they are back in Ireland with the death of Sarah Colvin, wife of Henry, recorded in 1909 in Belfast and then Henry Colvin’s death recorded in 1910, also in Belfast.
