Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Naturalised in 1781
« on: Saturday 11 August 12 05:50 BST (UK) »
Hi all,
I've known for a while that my 6x great grandmother Charlotte Sophia Blake was naturalised by an Act of Parliament in 1781 (Private Act, 21 Geo. III, c. 8, 12 Mar. 1781) but have been unable to find out any more accurate information about her or the Act.
Does anyone know if there are any records surviving from this time that may tell me which country she was born in? Would the Parliament Act above refer to a particular country or does anyone know of any naturalisation lists from this time? Given that she married Sir George Smyth, I thought the information on her background may have been more forthcoming.
Regards,
Debra
