Pembrokeshire / Re: Completed Looking for Henry Prosser Evans bc 1876
« on: Wednesday 04 August 10 14:51 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I am Bryan Evans and I am a grandson of Henry Prosser Evans. I can give you a detailed history of HPE and much of the family and ancestry. Edwin Thomas (Ted) was my uncle and I can give some info on him as well. My father was William Alick Evans. I guess your brother in law must be a cousin of mine. I have found a number of lost cousins which I can also update you with. I enclose my e.mail address as it is easier to communicate by such. Looking fwd to hearing from you,
Best regards
Bryan

Cornwall Lookup Requests / Lottie IVEY
« on: Tuesday 09 March 10 15:10 GMT (UK)  »
Lottie was my wife's great grandmother. She was born in Illogan Cornwall abt 1894. Parents were "Mary E" b1860 at Phillack and William H(Henry) Ivey b1853 d 1895? Wm H was born in Camborne to Wm and Mary A Ivey
Only record of family seems to be 1901 census..cant find any earlier trace of Mary E or Lottie's siblings (William, Laura, Emily, Albert, Henrietta and Lily). Any ideas most welcome

Hi Ambly,
Thank you so much for your help. We have spent a lot of time walking up blind alleys, not seeing what we should...but I suppose that is the challenge. Yes, we wondered if illiteracy was a big part, plus the phonetics tend to match, so the registrars would have recorded their interpretation and the informants may have been none the wiser!
We knew that Isabella was a name that was 'taboo' in the family. My grandmother knew little of her at all and, apparently, was met with a wall of silence when she asked questions. We did find out through research that she  had a daughter (Dornes) about 4 years after her husband died...probably explains things!
Again, many thanks for the info,
Best wishes,
Bryan

Kirkcudbrightshire / Black - Dornes
« on: Saturday 19 September 09 11:46 BST (UK)  »
Hi. I am researching my great grandparents and their parents. My GGp's were John Black and Isabella Dornes. John was a Palnackie-born mariner who was drowned in 1891 when his vessel was lost in a storm in the Solway. I have traced his ancestors for quite a way back, but have drawn a bit of a blank with Isabella. She married John in Liverpool in 1881 and they lived in Palnackie, where she died in 1897. Her death registration shows her parents as Matthew Dornes and Helen Ross. I have no idea where they came from and whilst there are quite a few Helen Ross's of the time (circa 1830), try as I may, I can't find a Matthew Dornes. I have tried every way of spelling his surname, without success. Has anyone out there any ideas, or matches

Hi Sheila,
Have just found RootsChat!  My name is Bryan Evans. I note that you were looking for Henry Prosser Evans. HP is my grandfather. Surprisingly, not a lot of obvious information is actually available. Problem is that as far as I know, apart from an inscription on his gravestone, and my father's baptism and wedding certificates , he was never referred to as Henry Prosser...and there are many, many Henry Evans's of the right vintage. Please contact for more info.
Best wishes, Bryan
