There are variations of Tamar's name - Tamer, Thamer, Honor and even Thomas for first names. Denithorne, Dennithorn and Donythorne for last.

She married Ralph Kent in St Gluvias on 15 June 1700 and proceeded to produce at least 8 children, one of which is my 7th great grandmother.  Tamar died in St Gluvias in April 1740 and is buried there.

The only baptism I can find in Cornwall is 6 September 1672 in St Gluvias, father Henry.  That makes her at least aged 28 on marriage in 1700.

My question is, is it likely that the marriage in 1700 would be her first?  It's the only one I've found. And would it be customary to be widowed but married again in her maiden name?

Thank you

I've found a marriage 22 March 1847 between Andrew Murphy (flax dresser), son of Andrew Murphy (gardener) and Mary McGee widow, daughter of Robert Pollock (weaver).  Solemnized at 1st Donegore Presbyterian Church Parkgate. 

I see the marriage was by Licence, not Banns - was that a requirement in a non-established church at that time or can I read more into it?

What I'm really after now is Mary Pollock's first marriage to Mr McGee.  I can't find it anywhere else in the UK so assume it must be before 1845 in Ireland and possibly also in Donegore. Is there a way of finding out?

Thanks

I'm looking for the burials of Robert Orpin/Orpen, his wife Jane/Joane/Jone and daughters Jane, Anne, Mary and Martha.  One of the daughters had a daughter Judith Courtenay so may have been married to Courtenay.  They all died, as far as their brothers who had left Shaftesbury recorded, in a plague outbreak in November and December 1645. 

Holy Trinity parish is the parish referred to in Robert Orpin's Will and Probate.

The transcribed records for Holy Trinity on the Dorset OPC start later than this.  The OPC for Shaftesbury says the earlier records are at the Dorset History Centre but in poor condition.  Is it possible if someone was going there anyway, they could see if there is any mention?

Thanks

I am trying to track the family of the above named.  He was the eldest son of Richard ARMSTRONG who was the First Serjeant-at-law in Ireland from 1866 until his death in 1880.

I have found his birth and baptism in 1848 and 1849 on the Irish Church Records site.  I see he attended his father's funeral in August 1880 from the newspaper reports.  He was a witness at his sister Edith Laura's wedding in 1884.
 
I have some scribbled family notes from his cousins (1. my grandfather and 2. a grand uncle) written 27 Dec 1943 which say 'a large family, remembered by SFC (my grandmother - no relation of his) at Skerries, believed to be a barrister'.  His brother Richard 'Dickie' Armstrong was also a barrister and can be found in both 1901 and 1911 Irish census returns.

My grandmother was born in 1881 and left Ireland for Canada in 1913, so this chap and his family would have been at Skerries between those dates.

A request for information online provided me with some information from Dublin directories as follows:
1881 and 1884
William Armstrong, barrister, 32 Stephen's Green North
1894
William Armstrong, barrister, Chancery Registrar's office, 60 Stephen's Green East

Then the trail goes cold.

Did he move to Skerries between 1884 and 1894 but used the Chancery office if working in Dublin?

Not in the 1901 or 1911 census returns that I can see.  If he died, I can't see a suitable widow, either.

Any ideas as to where else I could look?

Thanks

Hello

On the IGI, I have found the marriage of Abraham Morris and Elizabeth Joy in Canterbury on 12 January 1777.  Subsequently I found a record .  of their marriage licence which was dated 10 January 1777They were from different parishes so the later date was probably when the marriage was recorded.  He was an ironmonger aged 27 and she was aged 24. 

Their children were:
Sergeant Witton bp 3/8/1777 Canterbury - married Elizabeth Hemsley in Lewes on 30/9/1810 and then Jane Hills on 10/6/1830
James bp 5/9/1779 Canterbury - I think he m Mary and lived in Shoreditch
Mary-Ann bp 26/8/1781 Canterbury
Sarah bp 9/4/1784 Lewes
Mary bp 12/1/1786 Lewes
Abraham bp 2/5/1787 Lewes - I think he married Elizabeth and lived Brighton
Edward bp 12/1/1788 Lewes - I think he married Jane and lived in Islington/Edmonton

I believe there was another son John that is not recorded on the IGI at present but whether he was born Canterbury or Lewes, I am not sure.  He lived in Brighton.

Do the Canterbury records show births for Abraham or Elizabeth?  And the mysterious Sergeant Witton?  Was he a person that the first son was named for or are there earlier records of the name Sergeant Witton Morris (spelt any way!)?

Thanks
