Hello,

I am seeking help finding two Burials at Holy Trinity, Barrow.

Mary RIDER/RYDER between 1793 & 1798.
( Mary was baptized on 10 Mar 1793. )

Plus another RIDER/RYDER about 1806 possibly her father William.

I have checked the online transcriptions which only start in 1813.

If possible please include the LDS/GSU film and frame numbers.

TIA

Hi Everyone,

From the new GRO indices I have :
TREBY, EDWARD       23     Order
GRO Reference: 1849  M Quarter in PEMBROKE  Volume 26  Page 533
TREBY, WILLIAM       9     Order
GRO Reference: 1849  M Quarter in PEMBROKE  Volume 26  Page 533

These were brothers and the older boy should have been recorded as Edwin NOT Edward.
I am wondering if there are additional local records ( Burial and or Newspaper ) ?

Another brother married two of my blood relatives; one in Kent the second (unlawfully) in Essex.

Yet another brother joined the US Union Navy and died a Confederate POW in Texas.

TIA
 

Hi,

I wish to find out which David COUTTS died at sea on the 14 Feb 1896 while returning to Scotland from Callao, Peru with his family.  The death record shows his age as 49, born Aberdeen.

His widow initially joined her relatives in Fife, but the family then moved to Glasgow.

David's marriage was in Peru; and all but one of the children were born there.
His youngest son was born 16 March 1986 at Leslie, Fife.

While in Callao David was a "Dock Master".
His was was Mary CAMPBELL b. 1 Apr 1861 at Paisley and she traveled to Peru in 1886 just before the wedding on 10 Oct 1886.  This date taken from the birth registration of the son born at Leslie.
The marriage and births of 5 sons do appear in the UK Consular BMD Indices.
I should order the Marriage Cert. because that should at least list David's father.

However there is a strong hint that his father's name was also David.

I wonder if :
- the 10 Oct 1886 marriage would have been mentioned in a newspaper.
- where David was at census time in 1851/1861/1871 & 1881 (perhaps at sea?).
  [ I have looked but only get confused by all the possibilities. ]

Given that his wife was born in Paisley; I suspect he learnt his trade on the docks along the Clyde.

I have also attempted to trace all the David COUTTS born in Aberdeen(shire) about 1847, hoping to eliminate all but one without success.

Can anyone help ? FYI I live in Canada.

Cheers

G'Day All,

I believe this couple died in NSW and would like to know more about their activities in Australia.

They marriedin 1897 in Hackney, Middlesex, England and were in England for the 1911 Census.

However Richard was born in 1859/60 and died in the Redfern District of NSW in 1922.
(Parents names are correct.)
AND it is possible that Annie, born abt 1875, died in the Auburn District of NSW in 1937.
(Fathers name is correct mother should have been shown as Catherine.)

Currently I know of NO children to this couple; and have not yet discovered any close relatives in Australia.

I have attempted to use TROVE to locate newspaper death notices without success.

Please can anyone assist with locating their burials ?

And if possible discover how they earned their living in NSW.

In case it helps Richard was an Army Pensioner when they married.

Cheers
JonJon
