Other Countries / Re: GILKES family in Barbados
« on: Monday 12 February 24 16:56 GMT (UK)  »
I have only just seen this - hope you haven't given up !
I have no birth details for Edward Stanley Gilkes but he was my great grandfather, born Barbados 1862, died there December 1925. His burial record had his mother as Elizabeth Moore but with no further info. he had 4 children; Millicent, Edward, George and Arthur, better known as Lamont, who was my grandfather. If you can shine any light on this information or glean anything from it, Please let me know.

Best wishes
Cheryl

Hello Giselle :)
I've only just seen this; haven't been on here much in the last year or so but I am very excited by the possibilities in your response to my post! We could very well be cousins!
My grandfather was known as Lamont, he too was a French teacher and played football for Spartan. The only sibling that I knew about was Millicent and there's nothing on her after her baptism (that Ive found anyway.)
My father didn't tell me a lot about his father, as he and my grandmother never married and my father never got over the fact that he was illegitimate.
Do you have a tree? Mine is on Ancestry under the title CPE .  Gosh, I'd love to know more about your Gilkes family.

Kent / Re: Boorman/Boreman families
« on: Thursday 05 January 17 17:11 GMT (UK)  »
Hi everyone,
There is some confusion on my part as to who Jane's father is. There are records to show Nathaniel Boreman and also William Boreman but none is conclusive. Nathaniel and William could be one and the same person but there is nothing I can find to prove that either. Does anyone have any info on this please?

Thanks Annette; I'm on my iPad and didn't have the full app open so there was no "reply" button. Got it now, as you can see.
Just shows how easy it is to follow blindly and presume one person's info is correct. I've got some serious unravelling to do....

Quote from: Annette7 on Wednesday 29 April 15 18:58 BST (UK)
If you study the children with James and Frances you will find from baptisms on familysearch that Frances was not the mother of the children - Frances was a second wife:

James Nye, widower, son of Abel Nye, married Frances Vowell, widow, dau. of Christopher Woodington, 8/7/1839 St. Marys, Chatham.

James's first wife was named Elizabeth and think this is probably the marriage:

James Nye married Elizabeth Tomlin 7/4/1811 Aylesford, Kent.

James and Elizabeth had the following children baptised (which includes 4 who are not on the 1841 census in Gillingham):

Sarah Ann b.13/11/1811, bp.18/5/1812 Wesleyan at either Tunbridge Wells, Maidstone or Sevenoaks (all 3 shown on familysearch)
Henry Joseph b.26/2/1813, bp.6/10/1813    ditto
James bp.11/9/1814 St. Margaret, Rochester
William bp.12/4/1818 St. Mary, Chatham
Marianne bp.28/11/1821    ditto
Thomas bp.4/5/1823          ditto
Eliza bp.20/6/1825             ditto
John bp.28/12/1828           ditto
Abel Robert bp.25/12/1831  ditto
Rachel bp.7/9/1834            ditto

1st wife Elizabeth bur.15/11/1834 St. Mary, Chatham aged 44 years.

So, all in all, the online trees referred to are somewhat 'up the pole' i.e. Frances was his second wife and not the mother of James' children, his first wife and mother of children is Elizabeth, AND as his second marriage details show, James was son of Abel (baptism details as posted by bearkat).  James' mother was therefore not named Ann Rippon.  As you've found yourself, the online trees omit specific details and looks like people have 'guessed' and others have blindly copied wrong information.

Abel Nye, bachelor of Chatham, married Mary Kitchingham, spinster of Newington, 13/9/1777 Newington, Kent after banns (per Kent Marriages).

Thank you SO much Annette; I really need to be more objective when I glean information. In my own defence, much of this was gleaned when I first started out and it's only now that I'm asking questions and digging deeper.
I still haven't worked out how to reply to replies apart from using "quote" as I have done here. 😕
Thanks again,
Cheryl

Kent / James Nye b1786 Chatham
« on: Wednesday 29 April 15 15:42 BST (UK)  »
Major head scratch....James Nye b 1786 Isle of Grain, Chatham, Kent supposedly married in 1815, according to several family trees also researching him. No details of where, no source and even more strange, he married a Frances RIPPON according to some trees but James's mother was ANN RIPPON. No parentage is shown for Frances Rippon. In other trees Frances's surname is NYE which I suppose could mean she was a cousin or something but I've had no luck with that line of enquiry either. Does anyone have any ideas where I could find out more about Frances? Her death certificate doesn't have any clues.

Many thanks,
Cheryl

Rosie - I didn't have the census information for the Childs family, nor the marriage of Jane Chandler to William Childs; thank you for finding that. Back to Ancestry!

Thanks all for your efforts re Louisa and her burial. It must be, as you say, a transcript error, which makes my Louisa one of the great un-dead! ::)
