Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Unidentified Seaside Town

Waterford / Patrick Power and Bridget Murphy
« on: Wednesday 28 December 16 20:19 GMT (UK)  »
Patrick and Bridget Power are found in Halifax, Nova Scotia where they baptize 4 children between 1839 and 1845. I have recently found a marriage record for 1864 for one of the children. Now I know more than 'just Ireland', it gives Waterford as the place of origin.

These 4 children may be the tail end of a larger family.
Where do I look for a marriage in the 1820's+ for Patrick and Bridget?

The family story is that they were heading to Boston where Patrick's brother (name not known) had already emigrated. But somehow never made it.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Somerset / What Happened to Sarah BENNETT?
« on: Monday 24 November 14 20:15 GMT (UK)  »
Sarah BENNETT was baptized in North Petherton 7th March 1755, daughter of Richard and Sarah (maiden name PRATT).
In 1777 an illegitimate son Isaac Stevens BENNETT was born to Sarah and baptized 14th April.
Suspected father Isaac STEVENS (there were a father and son of that name in the parish)

Isaac Stevens BENNETT is my ancestor, I have lots of information on him. What I don't know is what happened to his mother, did she marry? Where and when did she die?

Leicestershire / Wheatley in Slawston
« on: Tuesday 14 August 12 05:25 BST (UK)  »
Edward WHEATLEY born about 1803 and Esther WHEATLEY born about 1811 both gave Slawston as their birthplaces in the census. They lived in Draughton, Northamptonshire.
Likely they are siblings as they both named James WHEATLEY as father in 1837+ marriages in Draughton.

I would like to find baptisms for them and any other siblings in Slawston. Perhaps these - Jane, Alice and Grace who all had illegitimate offspring in Draughton.

Can any one help please? I have checked familysearch.org.
