England / Are there Gun maker records for London and Birmingham 1774-1796?
« on: Saturday 01 January 22 01:51 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to locate any records for Richard Perkins Gun maker between 1774-1796 (London and Birmingham).

Apprenticeship Indenture record dated 28 April 1774 wherein a William SHEPHERD Citizen & Gun Maker of London, took on a Richard PERKIN as an apprentice for a period of 7 years from 31 March 1774

As my Richard Perkins was a Gun maker in Birmingham where his children were born 1796 onwards but I can not seem to find his marriage.

Father:Joseph Nicholls

Mother:Sarah

and if this is Joseph Brueyn (mother Sarah Nicholls born Smethwick, Staffordshire) who married Daniel Bruyn (born Ireland) in West Bromwich 1837), he was born about 1835 Bm Warwickshire (according to the 1851 census)

His half sister Margaret Bruyn (born after Sarah and Daniel's marriage Feb 1837) was born Dec Quarter 1837 also in Birmingham Warwickshire

Can Presbyterian 1st Derry Church, county of Templemore records be accessed from Australia? I have found that Rootsireland appears to have them but their site doesn't have an $AUD currency conversion option.

I think they must also be on PRONI

This is the info I have found regarding what is available.

Bann Valley General: 235
Civil and Church of Ireland Parish: Templemore
Denomination: Presbyterian
Name of Church: Derry [1st]
Details of available records: Baptisms, 1815-1928; marriages, 1815-98; deaths, 1857-86; minutes, 1810-1949; communicants' roll, 1842-1931; financial reports, 1848-86
Where the records are held: MIC1P/294*; T2711/2* [CL 196]
Baptisms in DGC database: 1815- (forgot to record)
Marriages in DGC database: 1815-1900
Burials in DGC database: 1815-1936
Barony: North West Liberties of Londonderry.
(I am guessing this is in the PRONI database).

Hi,

I have never looked into my Scottish Ancestry before so I have no idea what resources are available etc.

I go back to John Matheson (or other variants) born 1799 Inverness who married a Catherine Mackintosh born 1802 Inverness.

Children

Owen Matheson born 1827 Inverness
Hugh John Matheson born 1828 Inverness
Duncan Matheson b 1833 Inverness
Catherine Matheson born 1836 Inverness
Jane Matheson born 1837 Inverness
Jessie McDonell (Matheson) b 1837 Glengarry Fort Augustus Inverness
John Alexander Matheson b 1838 Inverness

Before going to Australia on the "Asia" 1839.

John died in Australia 13 April 1851 aged 52.

I have no dates of baptisms, date and place of the Marriage etc.

Kind Regards,

Donegal / Robinson/Robertson - Fisher marriage about 1830-41
« on: Tuesday 11 May 21 08:07 BST (UK)  »
Ok I am not sure if this marriage was in Donegal or Derry (so trying in both)

William Robinson/Robertson to Jane Fisher (parents James Fisher and Anne) about 1830-1841

a address I have for Jane according to 1841 NSW Bounty Immigration records for William Robertson (Possibly Robinson) is Lurga Brack or Lurgy River Donegal

Derry (Londonderry) / Robinson/Robertson late 1700s -1841
« on: Tuesday 11 May 21 06:30 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I am trying to find the Marriages in Derry (Londonderry) of

William Robinson/Robertson to Jane Fisher (1830-1841)
John Robinson/Robertson to Margaret ????? (late 1700s - 1817 approx)

and the births of

William Robinson/Robertson parents John Robinson/Robertson and Margaret (approx 1815-1817)
Mary Ann Robinson/Robertson parents John Roninson/Robertson and Margaret (approx 1822-24)

I am trying to sort out the correct Surname and that William Robertson and Mary Ann Robinson who arrived on the "Percy" in NSW (NSW Bounty Immigrants) are brother and sister and that William and his wife were put on the paperwork as her parents as she was in the care of her brother William and his wife).

Kind Regards,

Wayne Cook
