Hello to both RANDH and Rambler,
Thank you very much for the information you have offered me.  It has all helped to confirm what I suspected.  Part of my problem has been that I believed the sur name was FENWICK, but it seems FINNICK was equally acceptable to them and the record keepers of the time.
You might be interested to know the genes finished up (at least in part) in Western Australia. 
I am very grateful for your time and effort.

Cheshire Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Lookup - FENWICK birth record Newton Hyde, Cheshire

Hello Tati,
thank you so much for this information.  I am certain we are looking at the same man.  My problem has been that on his marriage certificate he is listed as FENWICK, but it seems FINNICK was the name he was born under.  Traps for the un-wary!
You have given me a new perspective on this family.  I am grateful.

Cheshire Completed Lookup Requests / Lookup - FENWICK birth record Newton Hyde, Cheshire
« on: Tuesday 20 February 07 11:48 GMT (UK)  »
My Great grand father, Edmund FENWICK believed to have been born Newton Hyde, Cheshire about 1853.  His parents are believed to have been Aaron FENWICK and Sarah NEWTON or NORTON, married 25th April 1852 in Newton Heath, Lancashire.
Edmund's siblings MAY have been:  Bertha, 1852 and William 1858, but this is far from certain.
Hope you can help me clear up all these question marks!

I am looking to confirm that William FENWICK, probably born 1801 in Newton Hyde, Cheshire, actually married Mary WRAGG on April 18th, 1824 in Mottram-in-Longendale, and if possible, see what children were born to them.

I suspect their children were:  Martha, 1825.  Joseph, 1828.  Aaron, c.1828 (possibly my 2nd g.grand father)  John, 1833.  Alfred, 1836 and Ann, 1842.  However I am far from certain about these children and their parentage.

Any information on this FENWICK family would be most welcome.

Dublin / Re: JONES Samuel - Birth look-up please?
« on: Saturday 28 May 05 08:10 BST (UK)  »
Hello Kate & all,  thanks for advice but,  SAMUEL JONES's mother died giving birth to him, and his father WILLIAM  died shortly afterwords.  OLDER siblings: Robert & Jack JONES.
Information obtained from Marriage Certificate dated July 1898 in Fremantle Western Australia.  Likely Samuel's knowledge of his origins inaccurate?
Anyone willing to check both births and deaths June 18th 1864 for Dublin?  Mother: MARY nee PERSSE, son: SAMUEL JONES.  Then within months, Father: WILLIAM JONES died, same city.
HELP! In need accurate information.    Wendy in Western Australia.

Dublin / Re: FREE LOOK UP FOR DUBLIN, IRELAND.
« on: Wednesday 16 March 05 09:54 GMT (UK)  »
Hello Katebray,  I am desperately seeking records of my great grand mother's death.  She died giving birth to my grand father.  Her name was MARY JONES nee PERSEE.  Her husband's name was William, and my grand father's name was Samuel.  He had two older brothers, Robert & Jack.
I know for certain SAMUEL was born June 18th 1864.  Probably in Dublin.
His father died of pneumonia shortly afterwards, trying to rescue horses trapped in their stables during a flood.  The boys were raised by their grandmother & Mary's sister, their aunt.
I strongly suspect they were Protestant by religion.
That's about all the information I can give you.  I HOPE that you might be able to find some record of MARY which will tell me something of her origins.
Optimistically,
Wendy in W. Australia

Hello Katebray,  I am searching for information on my great grandmother MARY JONES nee PERSSE.  Her husband was William JONES.  She died giving birth to my grand father Samuel on June 18th, 1864.  She had two older sons, Robert and Jack.
The family are believed to have lived in North Wall, Dublin.  They were almost certainly Protestant by faith, and not in the upper strata's of society, as William was a Groom, who died shortly afterwards of pneumonia brought on by trying to rescue horses in a flood.
Mary's sister (name unknown) brought up the boys, and they later set sail for Canada and Australia.
Hope you can help.
Wendy in Western Australia.
