Somerset / Phelps Merriott
« on: Sunday 13 September 20 12:45 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
   looking for a 2nd opinion / opinions on William Phelps

Son Joseph Phelps baptised 20 Mar 1803 Seavington St Mary
Married to Grace Chislett 26 May 1795 Seavington St Mary

Am reasonably confident about the above 2 pieces of information, next 2 pieces of info am less sure about.

Death 17 Nov 1846 Seavington St Mary
Baptism 7 Sep 1766 Merriott

So perhaps he moved to Seavington to marry Grace ?
Most of this info is from FreeReg, is there anywhere else I could possibly find a piece of information to verify ?

Thanks

Antrim / McCourt - Weir Marriage
« on: Tuesday 13 November 18 01:14 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, 
    am looking for a parish record, I have the marriage notice from the Belfast Newsletter on the 14th April 1835.

It says
" On the 6th inst. by the Rev, Hugh McIntyre, Loanends, Mr Wm Weir, North street, Belfast to Rosanna, second daughter of Mr Wm McCourt, Templepatrick."

I am able to trace the children of this marriage but have very little information other than their names for the bride and groom. Am hoping the actual parish record of the marriage may have some more information which would help with birth or death dates.

Any help with further information specifically on William and Rosanna would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks

Hi,
    have had a road block for a few years so hoping I might have some luck pushing past it by posting here.

but have been unable to push back any further to get her exact birth date, mothers name or any further details about her father Thomas.

On her gravestone in Australia it says she was from Ballymena.

Any help breaking through this wall is greatly appreciated.

Kent / Guest of Her Majesty on 1851 Census night
« on: Monday 11 January 16 12:46 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
   I have an ancestor who was a guest of Her majesty on the night of the 1851 Census.

The attached image was taken from the Kentish Gazette - Tuesday 25 March 1851.

Samuel Pearson, he was born in 1833 so should be about 17 or 18, may have told some porkies about his age though.

Can't seem to locate him in the 1851 census, any suggestions most appreciated.

thanks

Australia / Mental Hospital, Gladesville
« on: Thursday 12 April 12 15:47 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
    I have a person in my family tree

William John Pearson
Birth 10 May 1876 in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England
Death 3 January 1939 in Drummoyne, New South Wales 

I know nothing about his adult life, I have a transcript of his death certificate which list his place of death as -MENTAL HOSPITAL GLADESVILLE, HUNTERS HILL MUNICIPALITY;
LATE OF ARMIDALE MUNICIPALITY NSW

as per the death cert he was a labourer and not married.

His fathers obituary in 1930 has him living in Sydney.

Any suggestions as to how I can find out more information about him ? or if or how I could access his hospital file ?

thanks

Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Garonne 1880 Passenger List
« on: Thursday 12 April 12 15:34 BST (UK)  »
Howdy,
        Jonathan Henry Garonne Pearson was born on the 8th Sep 1880 on the ship Garonne ( hence the name) on a trip from Australia back to England. Family legend has it this was at the Red Sea opposite Mecca.

Don't seem to be able to find any passenger lists at all for this. Other than a birth cert, was wondering if there was anything like a passenger list or a ships log which might give a bit more detail on this.

thanks

Hi,
     looking for information regarding Ann Oliver

Birth about 1824 in Whaddon, Cambridgeshire, England
Death 16 Aug 1882 in Ulmarra, New South Wales, Australia

I believe she married a Thomas Lee but have not been able to find a cert. They came to Australia in 1849.

I believe her father was James Oliver and mother was Ann Green.

Looking in particular for anything more concrete around her birth and marriage.

Kent / HODGE Detling and East Peckham
« on: Friday 13 May 11 16:32 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
    am trying to find some information about my ancestors, in particular the maiden name of Eliza Hodge the details that I have for her are
   
Eliza
Birth abt 1815 in Detling, Kent, England
Death Jun 1878 in Kent, England

Spouse is Henry Hodge
Birth abt 1811 in East Peckham, Kent, England
Death Mar 1892 in Kent, Sussex, England

In 1861 they are in Tunbridge living with their son and 3 daughters and 1 daughter in law.

I am descendent of their daughter Ann
Birth 27 Jul 1854 in Tunbridge, Kent, England

Ann married William Pearson (I don't know the date of marriage) and went on to have 14 children which they would initially bring back to Tunbridge to be christened.

Would be very interested if anyone could shed some light on Eliza's linneage and maiden name.

Also any information on Henry's parents or siblings most welcome, I think their names are William and Hannah but not 100%.

Thanks
