Shropshire / Brown family of Wentnor and Nicholas family of Bishop's Castle
« on: Sunday 05 June 22 05:03 BST (UK)  »
Elizabeth Nicholas born 1780 Much Wenlock - daughter of Barnabas and Mary -  gave birth to John Nicholas Brown in 1816.  No father was named, but due to a DNA link I have with a descendant of the Brown family of Wentnor I kinow that one of the family of Brown brothers was the father.   Does anyone have this Brown family in their tree as I would like to ascertain which of the following brothers was the father of John Nicholas Brown?  The brothers were Joseph 1772, William 1774, a child born 1778 with no sex given so could be male or female, and Edward born 1783 all born to William Brown and Martha Cound.
Thanks for any information.

Heraldry Crests and Coats of Arms / Engraved cufflinks
« on: Saturday 17 October 15 02:59 BST (UK)  »
My husband inherited a pair of cufflinks from his grandfather on his mother's side. ( I will try to attach a photo).  We believe the crest on one side with the hand holding a scimitar could be from Martin of Lockynge, but we cannot find a family link to this family.   The other image is a mystery, and of the set of 2 cufflinks, this image only appears on one set, whereas the hand with scimitar appears on each set.  There is a family story that the family is related to MacDonald of Clan Ranald, but again there is no proof.

Any ideas gratefully received  :)

Lincolnshire / Rouse family in Stamford
« on: Thursday 08 January 15 04:51 GMT (UK)  »
I'm looking for the Rouse family who I think may have come from Stamford.   Samuel Rouse, a Tanner, married Frances Elizabeth Stevenson in Stamford on 16 November 1782 st Stamford St. George.  They had 6 children before Frances died in 1792, and was buried at St. George.  Samuel remarried Sarah Wilson in 1793, but I have no children recorded.

Does anyone have information on the parents of either Samuel Rouse or Frances Elizabeth Stevenson?   She was baptised in Lutterworth in 1758, father John Stevenson,  but I have no dates for Samuel other than a birthdate of around 1756.  I assume that was in Stamford, but it could be anywhere.

Many thanks in advance.

Leicestershire / Stevenson family of Lutterworth
« on: Wednesday 07 January 15 04:33 GMT (UK)  »
Frances Elizabeth Stevenson was baptised in Lutterworth 29 December 1758.  Her father is listed as John Stevenson, but no mother given.   There is also a William Stevenson baptised 23 April 1760 in Lutterworth.   Again, no mother given.   

There is a John Stevenson of Lutterworth who marries Mary Culcheth in St. Vedast, Foster Lane, London on 21 December 1757.   

I'm wondering if this couple could be the parents of Frances Elizabeth and William as I cannot find a marriage of a John Stevenson in Lutterworth around the right time.   

Any help appreciated.

Down / Dr Robert Martin of Newtownards
« on: Monday 01 September 14 08:48 BST (UK)  »
I'm searching for any information about Dr. Robert Martin of Newtownards.   He was born around 1801, but I don't know where.   He died in 1880.   I have his wife, Eliza Moore Warden, and several children.   There is a possibility he was related to the Martin family of Antigua, West Indies as we have cuff links engraved with the crest of that particular Martin family, but cannot make a direct link. 

His father-in-law, David Warden of Ballywatticock, Newtownards died before the marriage of Dr. Martin and Eliza Warden in 1832.   He may have been married to Jane McCormick, and there is a possible sister to Eliza named Eleanor Jane Warden.   

Any help with the Martin or Warden families appreciated.
