Attention Moderator

Re my Message I have more information on my Ancestry Tree for my friend that I did not deliberately post.  My message was aimed at Leanned0712 giving her basic information to try and proof a connection. Any details I posted I did have permission to post.

I am also unsure what it means by duplicating posts.

Hi Leanned0712

I am doing some research for a friend of mine Stephen B born 1960's in Salford Lancashire, England. His parents wer Eric and Margaret Booth (nee Carroll ). They migrated to Australia in May of 1965. Eric's father was William Booth born ( 1916 died 1981 ) and Marian Wassell born 1913.

Eric's Grandfather was William Booth born 1984 and died and died 1958. Possibly married a Margaret Booth ( not sure wether they were distantly related or not) on the 12 August 1914 at St Marys Church Bury, Lancashire. This would make this  William Booth my friends GG Grandfather also.

Looking foward to hearing back from you.

World War One / William Booth Manchester Regiment WW1
« on: Saturday 03 June 17 05:50 BST (UK)  »
I am doing a bit of research for a friend in Australia on his trying to find any information I can on his Great Grandfather William Booth born 1894 Oldham, Lancashire, England and died on the 11th of January 1958. See below for plaque in William Booth blue plaque in Stalybridge at Blue Plaque Places ommemorating his service in ww1.

Sergeant William Booth
Sergeant William Booth @Stalybridge Library, Stalybridge, England - 'Sergeant William Booth 1893-1958 Born in Stalybridge Served in the 20th Manchester Regiment during the First World War Awarded Distinguished Conduct Medal and Italian Silver Medal for Military Valour "His courage and energy inspired and won the admiration of all"'

He possibly married Margaret Booth 12 Aug 1914 at St Marys Church Bury Lancashire. There were several William Booths that may fit my search . Family members in Australia inform me that this is  there William but I am just trying to confirm it for my self.

Any information I may receive I will be thankful for. Also if this is the wrong board to post maybe I could be informed of the best board to post this message to.


Kind Regards

Buckinghamshire / Wright Meadows Wycombe Marsh
« on: Friday 30 March 12 09:29 BST (UK)  »
Ralph Thomas Wright born 1879 Wycombe Marsh, Buckinghamshire died Dec 1948 Wycombe, Buckinghamshire  was the son of Sarah (nee Francis) & John Wright. He was a farmer in the Wycombe Marsh area. In the Sept Qtr of 1905 he married Emily Rebecca Ball. I have been adviced that members of his family spoke of a meadow [field] being named after the Wright family but when the occupation of a farmer was no longer pursued by family members the local council took over the field and family members thought the name was lost. However recently a family member was  doing a internet search of Wycombe Marsh and came across 'Wrights Meadow' Road which is located off Abbey Barn Road. Houses are now built on it. I wonder if this is indeed the meadow that family members are refering too.

Any information I receive of this post will be gratefully received.

Down / Re: Hamilton McMillan died County Down 22 May 1828
« on: Saturday 21 January 12 12:11 GMT (UK)  »
Yes I believe Hamilton died in Greyabbey on 22 May 1828. His wife was buried in Greyabbey on the 15 March 1826. Part of her Tombstone In scription reads

Nathanial McMillan of Ballybrain in memory of his mother Jane McMillan who departed this life 15th March 1826 aged 42 years. Also his father Hamilton McMillan who departed this life 22nd May 1828.

I will check out the sites that have been sent for further information or see if it aggrees with my data, which has been gathered by various McMillan and McCance researchers.

Down / Hamilton McMillan died County Down 22 May 1828
« on: Saturday 21 January 12 07:25 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to ascertain the truth or not of a family story regarding my 4th Great Grandfather Hamilton McMillan born abt 1776 possibly in Scotland.

The family was of the North Ireland Protestants who had fled Scotland to Ireland.

What the family story says that Hamilton, was a member of the Orange Lodge and was beaten to death one night by Catholics on his way home from Lodge. This would have been on or about 22 May 1828.

Is there anyway this story can be varified ie are there any Newspapers or other ways this can be checked.

There is a photo of his Wife's Tombstone on the Co. Down Memorials : Gravestone Page. Jane McMillan died 15 March 1826.

Any Informaqtion I receive as a result of this post will be gratefully received.

Regards

Alan

Hi Geoff

Yes Samuel is the main one in my research. I thought they may have been brothers or closely related due to both being tried at the same time. I would be gratefull if you could download information to one of your sites so that I can check it out and contact you when I have done so.


TIA

Regards

Alan
