Sussex Lookup Requests / Re: baptism chichester c1818
« on: Friday 24 April 20 18:25 BST (UK)  »
Hello

I know I am very late to the table.

I think I am researching the same line in Slindon and had hit a brickwall with COLLICK. However, I have found Susan CHOLICK bap 23 Feb 1743 at Walberton, Sussex, to John and Susan. Walberton is just 2.5 miles from Slindon and 4 miles from Madehurst.

I am quite convinced by this baptism, as Susannah APPS burial record Slindon in 1813 says she is aged 70 making her birth 1743.

The next brick wall for me is now who is John COLLICK CHOLICK and his wife Susan.

Best wishes

Hello Lanod

Thanks for your reply.

Since my original post evidence seems to indicate that the 1830/31 Will administered by Major William Pattle is probably that of William Milne, Beebee Burnoo's partner, and father of their children. William Milne must die some time between 1825 and 1830.

It seems that Beebee Burnoo then has a liaison with an Alexander MacDonald with whom he has 2 children Mary Anne MacDonald (born 1828) and Alexander George MacDonald (1830-1873). Alexander MacDonald died in 1833 and his will and legitimizes his children with Beebee Burnoo. He states that his wife Mary has returned to England and Alexander leaves everything including his property to Beebee Burnoo.

Hope this is of interest.

So I have had my mum take a DNA test and she is getting a very large number of hits to other people with family connections to the Alsace, (Bas-Rhin, Haut-Rhin, Lorraine, Moselle) France, Switzerland and just over the boarder in Germany (Baden Wurttemberg, Rhineland-Palatinate) between about 1600-1800. Finding this very interesting!!

Northumberland / Re: Elizabeth Bell

Hi

This is very interesting than you. I have done a DNA test and I'm trying to match up to other trees. Elizabeth Bell is a contender as she appears in a tree that I am matched to, so interested in tracing her and her family.

I have confirmed family in Warkworth and immediate area south (Morwick Hall) - mainly Gacscoigne/Gaskin, but also Morrison, Scott.

The BBC will be showing the last program in series 12 of "Who Do You Think You Are?" on 15 Oct 2015 about Frances De La Tour.

No idea which of her lines they will be following but could be very interesting.

Hi Hannah

This is the link to some of the Calcutta records. It is only has limited dates which is a real shame. I hope that some other records come to light at some point in the future.

Thanks all for your replies - sorry for delay in responding - seem to have been logged out and didn't get notified of your interest!

Yes lots of confusion on spellings, but I'm fairly certain Christiana Agnes is a Latour daughter of Louis Latour.

At marriage of Christiana Agnes and John Milne her father is listed as Lowis Latour. Seems to be other variations but Latour is the name that has come down the family in subsequent generations.

I have bad some luck now in putting most of this tree together and it all looks to fit quite nicely. Just trying to trace further back but as is a frequent story I have hit the dreaded brick wall!

Thanks again.

Hi Hannah

Here is the link to the baptismal records in Calcutta. It seems to be a one off collection which have been both transcribed and the original digitalized. Unfortunately it only has records dating from 1778-1782. It would be fantastic if further records came to light in the near future.

http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/cmadge/Baptisms%20in%20Calcutta%201778-1782.pdf

The Francis Latour memtioned in these records is recorded as being a Matross. Matross was a soldier of artillery, who ranked next below a gunner. The duty of a matross was to assist the gunners in loading, firing and sponging the guns. It would seem that this Francis Latour is not the same as JFL in Madras, and there is certainly no mention of a daughter Mary in his Will.

Again as Dawn mentions I have found the records on FindMyPast invaluable for moving my research along and I have been able to establish and confirm so many more family links by using this site.

Good luck with your research. Please feel free to share any discoveries here.

I have found that a Joseph Lautour is Captain of and East India Company Ship called the Windham between 22 Nov 1810 and 19 Oct 1811.

His log is available at the National Archives:

Windham: Journal, Lautour  IOR/L/MAR/B/230H  22 Nov 1810-19 Oct 1811
