Warwickshire / BENNETT family of Birmingham - marble masons
« on: Tuesday 19 July 11 10:04 BST (UK)  »
Good evening all,

I am seeking information on George Henry BENNETT, born circa. 1860, of Latimer Street in Birmingham. He was a stone and marble mason and married to Sarah (whose maiden name MAY have been Marten/Martin). Children were Albert, Alice, Alfred, George, Sarah, Lillian and Frederick. This information I have gleaned from a marriage certificate of his daughter Lillian, and the 1891 and 1901 census. A stepson named John BETTS (born circa. 1875) is also listed on the 1891 census, employed as a brass worker.

I would love to learn more about the family, so any information will be greatly appreciated. My family knows nothing of the history, and I would really like to find out some more details for them.

Thanks,

Catherine

New Zealand Completed Requests / Frederick Ireson JONES
« on: Tuesday 08 February 11 04:21 GMT (UK)  »
Hello all,

I am seeking information (and hopefully descendants) of Frederick Ireson JONES of Wanganui who married Antoinette Ellen THOMSON. I have some information about the family gleaned from the usual internet websites (BDM, Paperspast) and information from a book on the early settlers of Wanganui by James Garland Woon in which Frederick’s father, Henry Ireson JONES is mentioned. Frederick and Antoinette's children include Harvey Ireson (born 1886), Riena (born 1883), Irelle (born 1885) and Antoinette Ellen (born 1895). Frederick was a dealer in old and rare books, and he had a brother, A. W. Jones.  I would love to find out some more information, or even someone who is researching the same family…

New Zealand Completed Requests / Harvey Thomson and Rachel Hall of Taranaki *COMPLETED*
« on: Wednesday 03 November 10 00:12 GMT (UK)  »
Hello all,

I am seeking information (and hopefully other family members!) on Harvey Thomson, born 1854 in Fraserburgh, Aberdeen, Scotland, and died in Eltham, South Taranaki, NZ in 1924. He came to NZ in 1868, and possibly came with his sisters, Jessie Chalmers Thomson (married William Trimble in 1875) and Antoinette Ellen Thomson (married Frederick Ireson Jones of Wanganui in 1882). Harvey Thomson married Rachel Hall in 1883 in Normanby, South Taranaki, NZ. Harvey was a butcher with a shop in Eltham, as well as a member of the first borough council of Eltham in 1901.

I have ordered certificates and made good use of all the online services, such as the cemetery databases, BDM and Papers Past, so I’m now trying to ‘match’ the information to provide the story of Harvey Thomson and his life in NZ.

Any information on Harvey and his family would be most appreciated!

Warm regards
Catherine
