Immigrant and Emigrant Resources & Offers / Giosue Reggione b 4 May 1885 m 17 Jul 1915 Coopersale, Essex
« on: Sunday 17 January 21 18:03 GMT (UK)  »
I'm trying to find the place of birth and info on Giosue Reggione.
From his marriage I have his father as Pasquale.  I don't think he was in the UK before 1911 as he is not on that census.  All I really have is his marriage and a record of him in the 1939 register.

Any help would be much appreciated.

TIA.

US Lookup Requests / GIBSON birth lookup
« on: Friday 27 September 13 08:07 BST (UK)  »
Hi folks,

I am trying to find a 1871 or pre 1871 record of John Henry Gibson, a Mariner born in USA father George Gibson, a Shipwright.  John Henry Gibson was born 1841-1852 (his year of birth varies widely for the records I have). His mother may have been called Mary Ellen but that is based on the names of his children, so more possible/plausible than fact. He married Frances Williamson in Liverpool, UK in Oct 1871 and then seems to reside in the UK from then on.

Can anyone help please?

US Lookup Requests / Gibson family in the 1890 census
« on: Tuesday 03 September 13 17:40 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I wonder if any kind folk could see if John Henry Gibson and his family are in the 1890 US census as I can't find them in the UK 1891 census. John was born in the USA around 1845 +/- (British Subject). He was a Ship's Cook and married a girl called Frances from the Liverpool area (Bootle/Seaforth/Litherland). They had a son called Alfred in December 1885 born Bootle baptised Kirkdale. I also expect a daughter Frances born 1883 to be living with them and possibly Mary Ellen b 1877.

Thanks

The Common Room / Puzzling UK birth certificate
« on: Monday 02 September 13 22:12 BST (UK)  »
A friend just got her grandfather's 1886 birth certificate. His birth is registered in Liverpool and the birth address is 18 Wolsey Street. That's where the family lived in 1881. The puzzling thing is it says 'USA' after the address. Why would it do that?
We know his father was born in USA and was a British Subject, according to the 1881 census.

Anyone any ideas?

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Pearce, Chimney Sweeps, Stroud area early 1800s
« on: Saturday 16 March 13 19:12 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

I am trying to find out the Birth / Baptism and mother of Frederick Pearce born about 1840 in the Randwick/Stroud area.  In 1861 he was recorded as a 18 year old Journeyman Chimney Sweep. In 1864 when married Hannah Painter his father was recorded as George, also a Chimney Sweep.  I can't find the family in the 1841 or 1851 censuses.

Can anyone help me please?

Hi

We are trying to find 5 siblings from the Pearce family in the 1891 census. They are not living with their father, Frederick b. 1840 and his new wife. Their details are:
Kate b. 1869 in Cirencester
Frederick William b. 1870 in Cirencester
Charles Richard b. 1871 in Cirencester
Emily Rose b. 1872 in Cirencester
Sarah b. 1875 in Cirencester
Their mother was Hannah Painter who died in 1881.

Please can anyone tell me where any of these were in 1891 or 1901?
Thanks.

Armed Forces / Was John Tharpe Clarke in the Battle of Waterloo?
« on: Saturday 27 October 12 13:59 BST (UK)  »
Hi folks,

I am researching Lieutenant John Tharp Clarke b. 16 Oct 1794, Hanover, Jamaica.

He is on the 1821 English Half-Pay list of the Officers of the Army and of the Corps of Royal Marines as 3rd Regiment of Foot promoted to Lieutenant on 7 June 1815 and going on half-pay on 25 Feb 1816.

In the Army list for 1841 it says John Thorp Clarke. Cornet etc. 5 Nov 1812. Lieut 7 June 1815. Half-pay 25 Feb 1816. 3 Foot.  I have seen Tharp also spelt Thorp and Tharpe.

He retired from the Army by the sale of his commission on 24 June 1856 [London Gazaette, 24 June 1856].
That ref also says 32nd Foot, Lieutenant John Tharp Clarke, from half pay 3rd Foot, to be Lieutenant, vice Sibley, appointed Pay master 46th Foot. I have no idea what this really means.

As he was made a Lieutenant 11 days before the Battle of Waterloo and as I believe the 3rd Foot where there I suspect he took part and maybe was injured as he goes on half pay in Feb 1816.

In a Waterloo Medal Roll 1815 [Ancestry] I found a Lieutenant J T Clarke of the 28th Regiment of Foot in Captain Richard Kelly's Company. But why is he in the 28th Foot and not the 3rd Foot?

I know very little about the workings of the Army, especially in the early 1800s.  Any info or explanations anyone can provide would be most welcome.

e.g what does Cornet etc mean? John would have been just over 18 in Nov 1812. Is this when he joined up?
Does anyone know how I would go about trying to get his Army records?

John spent quite a lot of time in Devon with his (illegitimate) family. He is living with Phillipa Cock in the 1841 and 1851 censuses and they seem to have 10 children. John finally marries Phillipa in 1857.  I don't understand why.

His family seem pretty well off. He was I believe descended from Plantation owners in Jamaica.

Regards,

Daz.
