Surrey Lookup Requests / Re: Charles Fairman 1806 Beddington Surrey
« on: Sunday 21 January 24 13:21 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, I received a message via GenesReunited regarding this thread because I have the Charles FAIRMAN born 1806 Beddington in my family tree. I am descended from his sister Sarah born 1811. Our common ancestor would be his father Joseph Fairman 1780 who is my g-g-g-g-grandfather.

Sadly I have no additional info re Charles, just his baptism.

Just a thought that my DNA is on Ancestry, have you tested Brian? If we came up as a match, albeit distant you would know it was this one?

Good luck

Heather

Thank you everyone, no closer to finding Agnes birth but have filled in a few dates for the wider family. The reason for this search is tackling a DNA match to this family so now stuck with needing info on those younger than 100 years. The search continues....
Thanks again

Thanks, that makes sense. That is the only place to search for Agnes' birth in 1892?

How weird, I just tried again but went in by a different route and got it.

Many thanks for that, definitely the right child there.

Thank you both

I chose the wrong weekend to go back to this brick wall! The GRONI site is also unavailable for full searches until tomorrow!

I already have the marriage cert for Agnes and Charles but had not seen any children. I will look into William further.  I believe the irishgenealogy site has a message on it saying that 1923 births have now been added so will see when it returns. I must admit I had forgotten the GRONI site so will definitely revisit.

Tomorrow is another day!

Thanks again

Down / Agnes Mathers of Carrowdore 1893ish
« on: Sunday 12 November 23 13:26 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all
I am wondering if anyone can help me find a birth or baptism record for this lady. She is Agnes Mary MATHERS born about 1892/3.

In 1901 she is living with her grandparents David and Mary McGowan at Ganaway, Carrowdore but is named on the census as Agnes MATHERS. Her mother is living next door with her husband.

In 1911 she is living with her mother Eliza MATHERS and her husband William, also at Ganaway. They have a further 3 children born between 1895 and 1906 and I can find all of their births.

William MATHERS (bachelor) and Elizabeth McGOWAN (spinster) married in Feb 1893 so I am thinking Agnes may not be the child of William Mathers.

I have searched under both surnames and all Agnes babies in Newtownards district and coming up with a blank.

I think Agnes married a Charles Crawford in 1922 and would also love to know if they had any children.

Both families are Presbyterian.

Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Yes, The lady I am helping actually placed both ads. I knew she had placed the Newcastle one so never looked at that. I didn't know she had also placed the Manchester one or that she had ever lived in Ripon!!
We live and learn
Thanks

So sorry everyone, I've been silly here. It was the lady who put both ads out. She had never told me that she had lived in Ripon! I got excited and jumped to conclusions. Thanks for putting me back into sensible land :).
The search continues!!
Thanks all

Thanks Carol and Christine, yes I already know about the Newcastle connection. The lady was seeking her brother who was sent to Newcastle and they had a successful reunion. The Ripon ad was nothing to do with her so that's my new info. Just gives me another area to search.

Thanks everyone for your replies and I know the phone number is a long shot but worth looking!

Regards
Heather
