Hi there,

Was unsure of where to post this, as I have 2 people in my info , 1 being born in Derby, Derbyshire and the other born in Oxfordshire. I have already posted this in the Oxfordshire forum, so will just copy and paste this info to Derbyshire...
Seeking any further early info on my Samuel Franklin if possible, any help much appreciated ...

Seeking some help to further my research into my Franklin Family.
Reading over the years about Benjamin Franklin although American, his family originated from England.
So wondering if my Franklins are possibly from same line. I know its a long shot, but would still like to know  a little more on them if possible.
My earliest Franklin and moving forward on male line is ....

Samuel Franklin born Jan 3, 1745 in Derby, Derbyshire.

Samuel Franklin born 1784, Oxford, Oxfordshire. Died June 12,1860. Wife - Euphemia ( nee Davis ).

John Franklin born Aug 1, 1822 in Airds, Campbelltown, Sydney . Australia. Died - Aug 19, 1908.
Wife - Mary Ann ( nee Cooley ).

John Lunt Franklin born July 20, 1846 in Airds, Campbelltown, Australia.
Died : July 27, 1926.
Wife - Louisa Biffin.
2nd wife - Jane Biffin ( sister of Louisa ).

I have more info, but would rather find earlier records. I have nothing further on the 1st Samuel or who he married. I think there is a dispute on some sites that the 1st Samuels wife was Sarah ? Others say another name.
It would be a bonus if Ben comes from this family, I know there is definitely A Samuel or 2 in his family.
Help much appreciated.
Thank you,
Robyn

PS ..... Please note, I have duplicated this post in Oxfordshire only because I have 1 Samuel from there and the other from Derbyshire. Please note any info found on Samuel on this post is for Samuel of Derbyshire.
Any info is very much appreciated. Very sorry if anybody misunderstood.

Thank you ,

Robyn

Hi there,
I was a member here a long time ago. Sorry if I have listed in the wrong spot, this is all very confusing.
Seeking any details of my great grandparents Terence O'Donnell & Amelia O'Donnell ( nee Auhl ) .
No marriage certificate has ever been found, I know this already. My great grandmother often had her surname mispelt as Hall, same pronounciation, all searches under different variations of names has been sought over the years. So although no marriage cert has never been located , she was buried as Amelia O'Donnell. Her 1st husband being Thomas Johnson.
I have quite a few photos of her , but we have never seen a single photo of my great grandfather Terence.
Terence & Amelia had 2 children being Amelia Avaline O'Donnell and Terence Edward O'Donnell ( my grandfather ). We have found there was another child born before these 2 , we are unsure if this baby was a Johnson or O'Donnell, but seems to be listed as William Auhl born to Amelia, died as a baby.
Is anybody able to help with anymore info or a photo of Terence Patrick O'Donnell ? We would really love to see what he looked like.
Thank you,
Robyn
