Pembrokeshire / Francis White of Paterchurch/Pembroke Dock
« on: Tuesday 29 May 12 05:47 BST (UK)  »
Francis White supposedly sold or released rights for a nice sum to allow the Dockyard of Pembroke Dock to be built on his property or property he leased. He is mentioned here and there. The date of the sale was 1813. I have seen in various documentation that Francis White married to Esther Prout had child Margaret White who married Joseph Streets. who was born 1776, possibly in Prittlewell, Essex, but married in Pembroke Dock. He was a navy man, and a joiner.  :DMargaret White was also born 1776.

Now the Francis White I have seen attached as her father was born in the late 1600's, and I just don't think that can be right. Apparently it is the best evidence to date, but there must be a generation in between. Since Francis White was such a significant individual, there must be other descendants who have good information. Please let me know what you know! Thanks.

Cornwall Completed Lookup Requests / Callington-- Marriage--HALLETT
« on: Saturday 22 September 07 21:48 BST (UK)  »
I would appreciate look-ups for any Hallett marriages, especially  between 1780 and 1820. Jane Hallett was born in Callington in 1804.
Her brother or cousin Samuel was born there in 1794. Both moved to Pembrokeshire. I know nothing of their parents and can use any clues offered. Thanks very much. :)

Surrey Completed Look up Requests / Blundell family of Buckland
« on: Friday 07 September 07 21:39 BST (UK)  »
I'm looking for the William Blundell family of Buckland. William would have been born about 1765 0r 1770, and was married to Sarah. They had children Mary, Jane, Joseph, Michael, and possibly others in Buckland. Mary married Richard Lisney of Bethworth. Is anyone familiar with this Blundell family? Looking for where they came from, their ancestors, and so on. Thanks! :)

Australia / PENBERTHY to Sydney
« on: Thursday 16 March 06 23:51 GMT (UK)  »
My ancestor's brother worked on or supervised some construction on the Sydney Bridge, from what I have heard in the family history. He supposedly died while inspecting it.  He would have been born either in Cornwall, where some siblings were born, or in Sydney. His parents would have been Stephen and Mary Jane Penberthy, and his first name might have been Stephen or William or possibly some other name. It would be helpful to me to know more about where he lived and when he died, and what family he may have had, if anyone knows.  His siblings were born in the 1850s. Thanks very much. :)
