Thank you

The Common Room / Sunken Ship Passenger Records
« on: Friday 13 April 12 23:16 BST (UK)  »
Hi

Can anyone tell me what happens to the actual passenger lists of a ship that sinks? Do they go down with the ship of do they stay ashore when the ship leaves port ?

A relative of mine was drowned on the 'Northfleet' on route to Tasmania in 1873, when the ship was sunk due to a collision off the south coast of England (Dungeness).    :'(

Nearly all passengers were lost including the Captain and most of the crew.  The passengers were civilian workers on their way from Gravesend in Kent, to build the new Tasmanian railway.

There are many reports on the Internet about the sinking of the Northfleet and lists of both survivors and those who died in the tragedy are available but show just names and ages - no address, family, marital status etc

My ancestor George Attryde aged 35 was listed as 'died'.  I would like to find out more about him as according to the 1871 census he was married to Ellen but with no children.  He was unmarried on 1861 census. 

Ellen (surname not known as I can't find her marriage details) does not appear on the name list for the ship, so I guess she was not aboard.

So if the ships list goes down along with all the other records on board - how do they know who is on board? If the passenger lists stays ashore - where can I find it for the Northfleet ?   ???

Can anyone help please ?

Thanks Bekki

The Common Room / Child Given Up For Adoption
« on: Tuesday 03 April 12 09:01 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I have read lots of links/answers and replies to 'adoption' but cannot find the answer to my query.

A relative (now deceased) was adopted in 1910 by family members (her Aunt) - I cannot locate he birth certificate.

It is known that when she was a young woman she got pregnant and was sent away to Hastings to give birth and have the child adopted.  I guess this would have been after 1927

How do I find out about this child?  Would they have been registered in her Mother's name (if so which one - her original name or adopted name) or would they instantly have been registered in the adoptive parent's name.

Unfortunately there is no one left in the family of the generation to ask about this. It was very hush-hush at the time and although my relative went on to have a very long and happy marriage, she never had any more children

 :(

I would be grateful for any comments
Thanks

Quaker Family History / Quaker Marriage
« on: Tuesday 03 April 12 08:04 BST (UK)  »
Hello
I have an image from a Quaker marriage register (RG6/496 Public Record Office).  It is a really long text and difficult to read. The date is June 1713.

Can anyone tell me if Quaker marriages had 'set text' they wrote in the register, or were they all worded differently.  It would save me having to try to decipher it all.

They are the only Quakers I can find in my family - so I have no experience on this subject

Thank you

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Colindale Newspaper Lookup Please
« on: Sunday 30 October 11 14:56 GMT (UK)  »
If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it.

I am looking for any reference to my relative George ATTRIDE (alias EVE) who AWOL from the Army 80th Foot South Staffordshire Rgt on 17 May 1884.

I believe that the Police Gazette printed names/details of all those who went missing.  As he was rank of Colour Sergeant, had a wife and children and had already served for 12 years, I suspect that he may have featured in the pages

If anyone could look up the 1884 editions (May onwards) to see if there is any reference, I would be very grateful

Thanks Bekki

The Common Room / Father or Husband ?
« on: Wednesday 26 October 11 19:01 BST (UK)  »
Catherine Ann Wright, born 1856 Dagenham, Essex to Thomas Wright and Elizabeth Jackson

I have found her on the 1861 and 1871 census living with her parents and siblings

Between 1871 - 1885 she had 4 children by Frederick King (I cannot find their marriage).  1 was born in Dagenham and 3 in Halling in Kent.  The children had the surname of King. Frederick died in 1885

Catherine remained in Halling area and between 1886 - 1892 she had 4 children by Robert Brown.  These children all the surname of Brown-King as Catherine and Robert were not married until 1893.

After the marriage between Catherine and Robert Brown, she had a further 3 children with the surname of Brown

All of the above makes sense to me BUT....................

Why did Catherine put on her marriage entry to Robert Brown on 11 February1893 at the Parish Church in Snodland, Kent  that her Father was called Frederick King .............  when this was in fact her first deceased husband !! She knew her parents.  Surely Robert would not have liked this entry !!!

Any ideas please ???
