United States of America / Wales to Pennsylvania
« on: Sunday 07 March 21 20:23 GMT (UK)  »
Hello hope someone can help.

I have a John Reese born Wales around 1815/16, father of Sarah Elizabeth Reese born 1847 in Pennsylvania. Sarah Married Henry Cleaver in 1867 I have a lot after her marriage regarding children etc, but do not have her marriage details.

This is the family in the census I can find.

1850 census  https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M4CW-MPW

1860 census https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MX58-CTS

Some trees on Ancestry suggest Sarah parents are John Reese & Margaret Griffiths. There are a lot of discrepancies as lots have just copied.

I have a possible DNA connection to Sarah and my Rees family in Wales. I do not have a sub outside of the UK.

Looking to find passenger lists, any BMD on John, Margaret or Reese children in Pennsylvania.

Trees have John death in 1892, but there is another possible 1891in Danville, Montour, PA on find a grave, where they are in 1860.  Also Margaret bc 1826 Wales is given as died 1875 PA

Thanks if you can help

Hi all, hope someone can help.

I have a William Thomas bc1808 who in 1881 gives pob as as Hewes Harrow, Herefordshire. Living with married daughter Mary in the household of William Fisher in Monmouthshire, Trevethin, village of Garndiffaith. Age given of 78

1871 he gives pob as Yewes Arrow, Herefordshire, same place and village. Gives age as 63.

1861 age 52 in Llantrisaint with son William he gives Much Dewchurch.

William and wife Elizabeth ? can be found in St Weonards Herefordshire in 1841 where most of the family where born. They move to Monmouth by 1851 William is not with family wife Elizabeth bc1810 gives pob as Sollershope.

Have not been able to locate a marriage for the pair but firstborn was around 1833.

Does any with local knowledge have any idea where William may have been born?  Have looked at place names in Herefordshire, but nothing seems to fit.

Thanks if you can help

Galway / Francis Hurley Death 1865
« on: Thursday 14 March 19 16:17 GMT (UK)  »
All all,

Looking to go further back with my 3rd great grandparents.  On the marriage of his daughter Mary in 1873 when she married Thomas Bagot, (Williamstown area) he is a farmer and not down as deceased, but know this was not always listed.

On church Marriage record his wife is Mary Shiel.  The family were RC.

There is also a Griffiths Evaluation in 1856 Kilcroan, Galway area, listed as farmer with Patrick Sheil, not sure if him as all I have at the moment is his & wife's name.

I am wondering if any of these could possibly be his death?

FRANCIS HURLEY Date of Death 1865
District/Reg Area Glenamaddy
Deceased Age at Death 48
Year 1865, Quarter 4 ,Volume No 19, Page No 179

There is also this one

FRANCIS HURLEY Date of Death 1865
District/Reg Area Glenamaddy
Deceased Age at Death 48
Year 1865. Quarter 2, Volume No 9, Page No 191

Still find Irish Research confusing, have had great help from Rootschatters in the past. Be grateful for any help or imput.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Just a thought
« on: Thursday 14 February 19 16:16 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all  :)

Not having a gripe, well ok I am...

Since having my DNA tested, at Xmas, at one of the major sites, it has renewed my interest in FH and my tree. Have been following just a paper trail, on and off since about 2003 since my Dad passed.

Well, I am amazed at the number of people who have payed to have DNA testing done but have no tree, to find a connection!  :o

Also those you message, have either not shown interest for months, years!! or do not reply at all!   >:(

I cannot say I am disappointed, more disgruntled.

Have any others found this is the norm?

Ok, got it off my chest, gripe over..  :-X
