Cork / Irish roots (Canada)

« on: Friday 18 August 06 18:11 BST (UK) »

I am starting in County Cork because my sister has a vague memory of our grandmother mentioning it. Our Collier and Carbery ancestors came to Ontario, Canada, probably in the early 1830's.

I have exhausted all Canadian information I can find. I am hoping to eventually find some Ships' Lists that will help me. My question is, if my Colliers and Carberys were listed here in Ontario censuses as "Church of England", is there a likely area of Ireland they would have been from?
Thanks so much. Attached, my g grandparents John Henry Collier and Elizabeth Jane Carbery

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Rewers 1891 Poplar Census

« on: Saturday 28 January 06 21:06 GMT (UK) »

My grandfather John Rewers was a merchant seaman in London in 1891. Can you find him for me in the Poplar area? Perhaps because he was at sea a lot he might not have been counted. He married in Aug. of 1891. His wife Charlotte Liston was at 134 Teviot St. at the time of census, waitress, inn aged 28.

Trying to find a marriage between John Gustav Rewers and Clara ?. He married Charlotte Liston in 1891; my grandfather and a sister who lived only a year born 1892 and 1895. Charlotte passed away aged 41 yrs. in 1905. Clara had known her. (I was originally told she was a sister). So marriage 1906 or a little later. The Rewers family emigrated to Ontario Canada before 1910.
Would appreciate any help with marriage lookup and finding last name of Clara.

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Liston, Rewers (Trolle)

« on: Tuesday 26 July 05 18:00 BST (UK) »

My g grandmother Charlotte Liston married Jon Rewers (he was from Sweden, changed his name from Trolle) in 1890 or so. My grandfather John Rewers born 1892 I believe.

I need two pieces of information if anyone can help. Firstly, I can find no other relatives of Charlotte Liston. (In 1901 census Charlotte shown as "CHARLES" Rewers). Can anyone else find anything on her and/or her family in earlier census?

Charlotte passed away aged 41 in 1905. Jon Rewers then married a woman named Clara ?. Can anyone find this marriage record. Any assistance much appreciated.

Sussex Completed Lookup Requests / Wood, Hailsham, 1871 census please

« on: Tuesday 05 April 05 16:42 BST (UK) »

Please help, I seem to have misplaced my great grandma!
Her name is Mary (Polly) Elizabeth Wood, born 1864 Hailsham. I think her parents were Stephen Wood and Naomi Douch and am hoping this will show up in 1871. There would have been two Douch children and perhaps a charles or a Samuel Wood who were her siblings. Ta ever so to anyone who can look this up for me.

Cork / Collier, County Cork

« on: Sunday 03 April 05 07:09 BST (UK) »

I am descended from Collier (Robert, born Ireland 1805, William born 1833, I believe in Cork or County Cork). William was married to Isabella Hammond, I don't know if she was born Ireland or Ontario, Canada. They had my gg father John Henry Collier born 1858 in Garafraxa, Erin, Ontario, Canada. I have no record of Robert's wife. They were Church of England.

I believe that William, Henry, Joseph, Robena may have also moved to Canada in the great migration due to famine. I have no idea where to begin finding out how or when they emigrated, sometime between 1833 and 1858. Very difficult to find! If anyone has any ideas, please help. I have exhausted my resources this side of the pond. thanks much.

Sussex Completed Lookup Requests / winter 1841 census

« on: Friday 09 July 04 03:35 BST (UK) »

Could I possibly get an census listing for William Winter (m. Barbara Green in 1827, Seaford) and family?

I have been able to find only one child, William (1829) and this might give me more.

Thanks ever so
