Well, my experience has been that there are those who specialize in regions (Devon, London, Scotland), and others with expertise in topics - i.e., immigration, handwriting, or in this case, alias names. In each instance they tend to follow the chat room of their interest - not every chat room.  It's been hugely helpful to me over the years to cast a wide net, but only when necessary.  And if the information hasn't been provided, what's to lose?

Canada / Re: Michael Hanning, born Canada ca. 1835?

Yes, I think it's very likely the same family.  I need to really examine this closely, I've learned with Irish immigrants that it's important to be very careful before reaching any conclusions. There are some immigration records for individuals similar names that raise the possibility of different persons. Thanks.

That's mine.  I'm posting separately here as the question remains, hoping a new set of eyes might be able to break through this brick wall.

Thank you all.

Yes I believe this Michael Hanning was the son of John Hanning of Prussia and Deborah (Brackett?) of St John, New Brunswick.  I now believe that Malcolm Hanning reference was in error.

Thank you for finding this Farley family, that might be John's wife Mary among them.  I'll look into it.

Thanks again.

I'm looking for the birth and parents of Michael Hanning, living in Gold Storey, NV in the 1880 Census, born Canada ca. 1834.  His wife Mary (Farley) was born in Ireland ca. 1836, and his eldest daughter Margaret was born in Maine 1860-1861. Thank you.

Devon / Parents of William Lockyear of Devon, born 1784-1787

Seeking the parents of the William Lockyear who m. Ann Martin at Tavistock, 03 Mar 1815. This William was living in Tavistock at the time of the 1841 Census, his age at the time suggests a birth 1784, and was born in Devonshire.  He is likely the "William Lockyear alias Schearling" who died in 1850 in Tavistock, age 66 (i.e. birth ca. 1784).

He could be the William Lockyar who was baptized 31 Jan 1787 at Tavistock, son of William and Mary. If the same individual he was 2-3 years old at the time of this baptism, certainly possible, otherwise this is a different William. I did not find an earlier baptism that would match this same individual.

I’ll look into it.
