I was recently at this church and took a few pictures of the oldest graves. They are Howard Russell Harper d 26 Jun 1920, Robert Beveridge d 1927, Thomas Corbett d 6 Oct 1916 , Albert Deaper ? Clarke d 1 Aug 1913 , Pte Archibald Nickson d 26 Jul 1915, Clara Fransen ? d 30 Nov 1915, Joseph Frog d 1865. If anyone wants a copy of the picture, I would be happy to give them one.

Trying to trace immigration data (thought to be 1892), and English family records.

Thought to be b England 1883. She married William Martin in Elgin, Ontario around 1905, first child Donald Albert b 1907. Marriage cert says 'Broa'. Family history says 'Broe'.

Many thanks to anyone who can help.

Hi, I'm confident the members of RootsChat will be able to help me.
Alfred James Bishop was born in Swyre, Dorset in 1868. He last appears in the censuses in 1891 as a footman for William Gilchrist, Australian Merchant, living at 200 Queens Gate E, London.  He is absent from the 1901 and 1911 censuses.
There is a marriage record to either Rosanna Smyth or Annie Alice Thornber in Kensington in Dec 1893. Whether this is the same man is unknown. There are two death records with that name in London  in Q3 1924 (Poplar), and Q3,1927 (Kensington).
I'm trying to determine the fact of his possible marriage and where he was in 1901 and 1911. Did he go to Australia possibly.
Thank you in advance if you can help.

I'm trying to track any further details of this man's life. He was sentenced to transportation for life for poaching  in 1832, was shipped to Australia on the Circassian, and was pardoned in 1845-1846.

Did he stay in Australia or return to England.

Thanks for any help or suggestions

I hoping someone can help in tracking the name of the only daughter of Hastings Norman Victor
Harington, b 1855 Hourah, Bengal, India, m 1881 to Anna Mary Philson, in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.

They had three children, William Guy Harington b1885 d 1917 Mesopotamia, Hastings Roy Harington
b 1888 d 1942 London and the unknown daughter, who marries a Major Alan Redfern and in 1929 was living at "The Pines" Frosterdeen, Wangford, Suffolk. She had two children, Guy A T Redfern b 1917, and Thomas B Redfern b 1921

HNV Harington married again in 1909 in Bombay to Edith Redfern b 1878 - relation to his son in law ?. He retired in 1910 and they moved to England where Edith gave birth to Leonard P Harington.

HNV Harington then bought apple orchards in Edgewood, British Columbia, but it seems this was largely a real estate scam as although you could grow apples there, the land still needed to be cleared. HNV moves to Edgewood permanently in Apr 1914 after a visit in 1913. Edith and Leonard join him in Aug 1914, but life in a small backwoods village in the Kootenays can't have agreed with her and she and Leonard return to England in 1916, and then leave for Southern Rhodesia with Leonard in 1920 where she works as a civil servant. Records indicate her relative in England as Alan F Redfern of Eastbourne, Sussex, whether this is another Alan, possibly father to the Alan who married the daughter, or is the same Alan who married the daughter is unknown.

HNV makes several trips across the Atlantic in the 1920's and dies in Edgewood in 1930.

The family's comings and goings are pretty well documented in the various passenger lists, but the daughter is difficult to identify.

Many of the Redferns and the Haringtons served with the Gurkha regiments in both World Wars, so this is cross posted in the Suffolk section

Thank you for any light anyone can shed on this
