Ireland / Re: NOBLE SPEAR

Thanks Christopher! Since this posting, I have found this Spear family in Maine. Martha's name is actually Matilda. Still no surname, but b. 1806 Scot. Very common-named children. Son John b. 1829 Ire. Dau. Jane b. 1831 Maine which helps narrow the immigration date.
Leaving for the summer today, without my computer.
Any responses will be delayed.
Many thanks again. This forum is terrific.

Yes, thanks, I have that certificate- wrong ones. Where John was a stonemason, he must have travelled a lot for work, so I have any number of leads all over the place for this common name. I believe Elizabeth stayed in Liscard where their children were born on Rake Lane.
Many thanks, Joan
Many thanks, Joan

Thanks for your responses, both of you.
That was pretty much my guess, but then I thought he might've been a real estate salesman, too, as my Google search suggested.
Thanks again, Joan

Wales / occupation- Agent of Estate?
« on: Saturday 13 January 07 14:31 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone enlighten me as to what an "agent of estate" is?
My gggrandmother Elizabeth Hughes b. May 1847
f. Rees Hughes "agent of estate"
h. John Morris b. 13 Oct 1842
ch: Elizabeth Constance b. 1884 Wallasey,
Harriette Agnes Hughes Morris b. 1885 Wallasey
This family emig. to Portland Maine 1887, where Elizabeth Morris' death certificate listed Rees & his occupation (mother unknown). John Morris' naturalization papers say he was b. Denbigh.
Any help greatfully accepted as this family is one of my toughest stonewalls.

Hi Mike. John's naturalization papers say "Denby"- whether or not that means the town or county, I don't know.
Thanks, Joan
Thanks, Joan
