London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / THOMAS READ AND WIFE ELIZABETH ? BETHNAL GREEN
« on: Sunday 17 December 17 15:10 GMT (UK)  »
Hope someone can help.  I have been searching for years for the marriage of a Thomas READ and his wife Elizabeth (surname unknown).  I think he was born circa 1789 and she circa 1791.  Both were weavers in Bethnal Green. Lived at 17 Wilmot Street, Bethnal Green.  Some years ago a lady helped me with what she could find but it appears that the wife's information may not be whom I am searching for.
On census' she says she was born at St Lukes, Middlesex but don't know her surname
Thomas also says he was born Middlesex.
I do not know when they married but they had the following children that I know of:

Jane 1828 - she was a weaver also
Charles 1829 - this guy came to Australia.
Benjamin 1835
Alfred 1835

I was told that there may have been a James 1827, and a George 1820, and an Emma 1824 but I am not sure of any of this.
Hope someone can tell me Elizabeth's surname.  I have a marriage record for Thomas READ and Elizabeth Wilks Legassick but not sure about this marriage.
We have a record that a William READ and Sarah were Thomas' parents but this is not proven.

Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / George NINNIM - WILTSHIRE
« on: Wednesday 29 November 17 23:07 GMT (UK)  »
Hello from Australia,
I am looking for a George Ninnim who was born in 1839 to a Charles and Sophia Ninnim.  I found Charles and Sophia and 4 children in the 1841 census then again in the 1851 census but Arthur was not there and another child Henry was added.  On the free census this family seem to have disappeared after this. 
There was a newspaper cutting in the Hampshire Telegraph dated 28 May 1859 that a Charles Ninnim had died following an accident at work.   I have tried to locate the other members of the family(incidently the males seem to have been coopers) with no luck.   

George is the one I am trying to locate, I found a marriage for him to a Harriet King Butler in May 1866 at Ringwood but have lost him after that.  I know Harriet married secondly James Kaye in 1869. 
Any help appreciated.

Hello from Australia, Looking for help re finding ROBERT FARRELL.  We know he was born in Donegal around 1855/56.   It is said he had a sister Margaret and a brother Andrew.  The latter two having gone to the United States.
Robert Farrell came to Australia and married here.  He had 10 children and when his wife died in 1907 he left for the United States in 1916 and died there in 1918.
Can anyone help find his family in Donegal?
Regards
