Cambridgeshire Lookup Requests / Gerrard Russell

« on: Tuesday 19 March 13 14:07 GMT (UK) »

I am searching for the baptism of Gerrard Russell born c 1694.

I have found on a voter list of 1705 a Gerrard Russell CB living in Wicken Cambridgeshire which might be his father. Wicken only appears to be a small village so I guess there was only one Church. Does anyone have access to baptismal records around 1694. Gerrard was married in the C of E faith in 1713.

Any help appreciated

Cork / Cecile E. Master-Byng born Cork?

« on: Thursday 14 March 13 21:34 GMT (UK) »

I am searching for the birth of Cecile E Master-Byng who claims to be born in Cork in 1880/1
This info comes from the British census of 1911. Cecile Ethel marries on 1st June 1910 a Felix Call. She dies in 1918 age 38 in Ilsington Devon. I have marriage & death certs:
The marriage cert gives her as a spinster & her father as George S Master-Byng of independent means. Having chatted on the other board we are thinking there is a posibility that she may be illigitimate or have assumed the name of Master-Byng.
Is anyone able to find a birth or baptism of Cecile before I give up. Thank you

The Common Room / Divorce

« on: Monday 15 October 12 13:48 BST (UK) »

Please can some tell me how to look for a divorce?
The parties are Howden v Howden nee Wynn-Wernick & I think it would be 1916- 1921.
I have Ancestry but I can't find it. Is there another way?

Cork / Martha Rogers

« on: Thursday 21 June 12 19:55 BST (UK) »

Martha Rogers was born on 16th Oct 1782 at "Seaview" Cork eldest child of Joseph Rogers known as Jay b. 1759 & Mary La Vallin b.1763.
Martha married in Cork Cathedral on 1 Jan 1806 to Hamelin Trelawny.
I am not able to trace Martha Trelawny in either the 1841 or the 1861 British census. In 1851 she is living in Brighton. Does anyone have access to Irish Census as I wonder if she could have been visiting her family?
I would love to know more about the Rogers family?
All suggestions appreciated

Sussex / Martha Trelawny

« on: Monday 14 May 12 18:40 BST (UK) »

In the 1851 census Martha Trelawny is "unmarried" although she was in fact a widow. She is living in Brighton with one daughter, a grand daughter & 3 servants.
Martha dies in 1864 in Brighton. I have had no success in finding her in 1861 census.
I am wondering if she might have been divorced. Her husband died in 1846 in St Helena & on his grave it only mentions 2 daughters. Martha did not receive a pension from the Army-- I have checked this. Also I cannot find a "Will" of hers but if she could afford 3 servants I would expect her to have money.
Any suggestions appeciated

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Darnell

« on: Saturday 05 May 12 12:26 BST (UK) »

I seem to have hit a brick wall & need a little help.
I have the 1911 census record for the family of William & Sarah Darnell & 3 children alive-- Edith 4ys; Willie 3yrs; & Florence 1 yr living 101 Bridge Rd W. Battersea.
I have found the marriage of William James Darnell to Sarah Charlotte Terher ref: 1907 2nd Q Chelsea 1d P.858.
The birth of son Willian James (Willie) ref 1907 4th Q Wandsworth 1d P.503
Birth of Florence Elizabeth ref 1909 4th Q Wandsworth 1d P.526.

I have also found another son & have his birth Cert Geo: Edward born 19 May 1911 & this confirms the spelling of the wife Sarah's maiden name as Terher.

No where can I trace the birth of Edith Darnell or even Edith Terher who is 4 yrs in the 1911 census.
