Hello bugbear,

I have done a lot of research on Isaac William and his two wives, Elizabeth Moore and Sarah Susanna Peploe. I've documented most of it on my Mallandain website - Isaac's page is complete but Susanna's is not quite finished (I published the draft for you to review). You can find the pages here:

Essentially, I think Sarah was born a Peploe, had a relationship with Amos Moore (brother of Isaac's first wife) and had seven children before taking up with Isaac. I have no idea where the Brown name came from.

I recently ordered the death certificates of Isaac's first wife and Susanna Peploe. Unfortunately, it confirms that Elizabeth Moore died three years after Isaac married Susanna. I have their marriage entry at Christ Church in Southwark on 25 Mar 1895.

I have pieced together as much as I could and have taken a few leaps here and there so my research is not perfect but perhaps we can compare and come up with something as close to the truth as we are likely to find with this lot. Isaac's parentage is just as mysterious but my theory is that his father was Isaac Mallandaine, his mother's cousin. I am happy to share any records I have so if you are interested in anything referenced on the site pages, you can find my email on the Contact page of my website.

I'll go through the post in more detail as I see some rootschatters have found some records I don't have.

Thank you so much for your posts, Westoe & Seaweed, the info you shared is very helpful! I will try and find him in the available crew lists.

If a merchant seaman died on duty, would his death have to be registered in the UK? He doesn't appear in any UK marriage or census records and I haven't found him in the Overseas marriages or deaths register either. So I wonder if the lack of records might point to him jumping ship in a foreign port - I am assuming if a seaman did this, it would be recorded in the log book?

Thank you both for the additional posts.

The Fulchers in Yaxley are all the same family.  Charlotte was living with her daughter, Jane Whitmore, when she died.  The birth for Charlotte is a possibility but I wish I could find the marriage to confirm it.  I have managed to trace most of the children of Thomas and Charlotte but not much luck going back any further.

Thanks,
Lynwen

This is the link to the search engine for BMDs in British Columbia:

http://search.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/sn-3328C7/gbsearch/Births,Marriages,Deaths

But I didn't get any hits on BMDs or the search of all records so it doesn't look like he died in BC.  I think that first link was a general search to the Vital Events page and the result I got was a genealogy pdf.......I think the "hit" was for Henderson as in Henderson's Directories and nothing to do with your fellow.

Fantastic!  Thank you Annette.  I really thought I was looking for a needle in a haystack with this one! 

I've never found my main branches on FreeReg so I have to admit I don't regularly check it but I will have to add it to my favourites now.

Thanks again for the super fast reply.  I can start my work day with a smile now.
