Hi

The Rev Jones wasn't the only one to record original parishes in the St Mary's, Lewisham records  .

Evan Morgan, the Assistant Curate, was doing the same in 1824 when my GGG grandparents, William Jones and Louisa Pembroke were married.  Louisa was born in Deptford, daughter of a shipwright, and William in Llanfihangel Genaur Glyn, Cardiganshire, a shipwright himself.

Richard Thos Lancaster, curate, was also recording parishes in 1827; Louisa's brother James was married then.

Why none of the Pembrokes married at St Paul's, Deptford, the family parish, is a mystery.  I wonder if they fell out with the incumbent.  Lots of Deptford brides/grooms married at St Mary's.

I'd assumed the huge numbers of people from all over the place marrying there was due to the ports and trade at Deptford and Greenwich.

But we're extremely grateful to these Welsh chaps; until I found William and Louisa's marriage entry I had no idea where the Jones family came from!

Aha!!!!

Baptism record

Surname DRELINKIEWICZ
Father     (Sebastian on index) Kazimierz

Have a look at the Polish Biographical Index:

https://www.rootschat.com/links/01qge/

In it you will find:

Drelinkiewicz Soter – auch (also or alias) Saturnin (c.1844-1854 - relevant dates), Demokrat (occupation) – Tyrowicz – F II 70, 302, and

Grzybowski, Adam (c.1844-1854 - relevant dates) Demokrat (occupation) – Tyrowicz F II 112, 16.

In 1964 Marian Tyrowicz published Towarzystwo Demokratyczne Polskie.  Przywodcy i kadry czlonkiwskie.  Przewodnik biobibliograficzny - Polish Democratic Society.  Leaders and members.  Bibliographic guide.

I wonder if Adam & Soter went back to Poland and joined in the Kraków Uprising?  It would explain their disappearances.

Hi Geoff

NOTE

A Decree of ? Divorce at the insistance
of the said J S R Bremner was pro:
        by the Lords of Council & Session
on 16th  .  Extraced on 26th Feby 1848
conf            extract produced            ...siding
& Declaring that she is loosed acquit
ed & freed of the marriage betwixt her
& the said Soter Drelinkiewicz & that it is
lawful for her to marry any other free person
whom she pleases in the same
manner as if she had never been
married, or as if the said Soter Drelinkiewicz
were               dead.

I'm not yet convinced that the right Adam has been found.  We could be looking at three different Adams !!! 

I looked at the transcription of the 1841 Census on FreeCEN: https://www.freecen.org.uk/search_records/5a151daff4040b9d6e29f447/adam-grzybouski-1841-midlothian-st-cuthbert-s-1816-?locale=en

Under occupation the transcript says "Government Allowance", not doctor.  Have you seen the original?  I wonder what government?  Regarding the ages, in the 1841 Census ages were supposed to be rounded down by five year intervals, so don't read too much into apparent discrepancies.  In 1851 Maria is shown as 43, and her parents as 75 and 66 (25, 60 & 50 respectively in 1841).

It's odd that Maria would be a dress-maker in the 1851 Census if her husband was a member of the Royal College of Surgeons and a freemason.  Where is Maria in 1861?  What was her marital status then?

I do not know whether there are signatures on the marriage between Adam and Maria, but if so it would be good to compare Adam's signature with the later marriage found in London.

The Ł2 sent to the known Adam came from Karol Sienkiewicz who was the joint founder of the Polish Library in Paris and was the private secretary of Prince Adam Czartoryski.  Many emigrated from Poland after the Uprising of November 1830, especially those who had been in the Polish army.  Did I read somewhere that Adam's occupation was given as something to do with the army on one of his children's marriages?  If he was friends with Soter, another army chap then it would make more sense for him to be army as well, rather than a doctor.  They both seem to have disappeared around the same time...

Adam the doctor who was a member of the Royal College of Surgeons was recorded in their Calendar as resident in Berlin until at least 1888.

Looking forward to the information from the Edinburgh Lodge!
