Family History Beginners Board / Ballantine's from Boyle, County Rosscommon
« on: Friday 30 October 15 13:21 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
Does anyone have any information on the Ballantine family who lived in Boyle, near Lake Gara, previous to 1920. They may have originated in Scotland. Some of the family came to England, to Yorkshire and Somerset.
Many thanks.

Milliepede & chempat
Many thanks. I should say that I have looked at some census records at a records office but not yet accessed them online (lack of time) but I wondered of anyone had already done some of the work!

Yes, Milliepede the William John born 1871/1872 is the one. The child was Stanley William born 1904 & Bessie died 1904. I have Bessie's death cert.

chempat, yes that's Bessie & the marriage. I haven't applied for any other certs yet as I'm just beginning another round of research. You have Stanley & Jack (a cousin). Thank you for the 1901 info.
You are both great, thanks.

Family History Beginners Board / Woodhouse family from Milborne Port
« on: Thursday 29 October 15 21:57 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Can anyone give me information on the Woodhouse family from Milborne Port, Somerset. My Great Grandfather was William John Woodhouse who lived in M.Port with his wife, Bessie. She died not long after childbirth. I have a photo of William in Army uniform taken in India but I know very little about him or his family.
Thanks

Tom was one of 12 children. Charles, Fanny, Bessie, Emmie, George, Walter, Alice, Clarence(my Grandfather) & 3 others whose names I can't yet find. Ican give you birth & death dates if you wish. They were all born in Henstridge, Somerset. UK. In fact the family all lived in the same house in Henstridge for severalgenerations.
Tom's Parents were George & Louisa Caines.
George was married before he met Louisa but his first wife died after having a child, Henry.
George was one of 12 also. Fanny, Charles, Sarah, Betsey, William, Jane, Soloman Sarah, Henry, Mary Jane & Charles (again).
George's Parents were George & Ann Caines. I have only been able to trace 1 sibling for this George But I haven't yet used any websites such as Ancestry. All my research so far has been done in actual record offices, several years ago.
This George's Parents were James & Rachel Caines. I found a number of entries for this couple receiving money from the Poor fund, including money to buy a coffin when James died.
James' Parents wereJoseph & Grace Caines.
Joseph's Parents were James & Judith Caines. James was born around 1733.
I am about to begin more research soon using the internet. As I said, all of my research was done before these websites existed so it was quite hard work!
It was great to learn about Tom as my Dad knew of a rumour about him working & dying on the railway but I hadn't been able to verify it.
Let me know if you would like dates

Hi Muffin,
You actually know more about Thomas than I do. None of my remaining family knew anything other than the fact that he worked on the railway & was probably killed in the course of his work. I have traced his family back to 1733, mainly just names really. Would this be any help to you or do you already have that info?

Hi Muffin. Are you still looking for info on Thomas Caines? He was my Grandfather's brother.
