Sussex Completed Lookup Requests / NUTBOURNE records
« on: Monday 17 January 22 02:22 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there

I am struggling to find where to look for Nutbourne bmd records.

I am particularly interested in the name CHATFIELD and have been trying to find the birth/baptism record for Elizabeth Chatfield born around 1795-1805.

Also Elizabeth's marriage record to Reuben KING sometime before 1841.

My father-in-law has a DNA match to someone with Elizabeth and Reuben's daughter, Lucy who married Edney LATTER in 1859 on Portsea Island and subsequently emigrated to the USA.

There is a tricky CHATFIELD in my tree and am wondering if Elizabeth could be the link through her parents/siblings.

Any help would be very much appreciated.   :)

Europe / PORTUGAL - possibly Azores
« on: Saturday 25 September 21 06:10 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I'm trying to untangle my mother-in-law's Portugese ancestry.

I have had her DNA done and she comes up as a match to descendants of a Lawrence Joseph Thomas who, according to various trees, was born around March 1856 in Fleurs, Azores, Portugal. He made his way to the US and lived in Massachusetts where he died

My mother-in-law's grandfather was Antonio Joseph Thomas who was born in Portugal, possibly around 1852. Clearly there is a connection here. She comes up as a half relation to Lawrence's descendants. Antonio arrived in NZ around 1870.

Interestingly, Antonio had two sons from two different relationships named Lawrence - one as a second name and one as a first name. He also had a son named Joseph.

In the newspaper notice of his marriage to his first wife it states that he is the fifth son of Joseph F Thomas of Portugal.

Not sure where to even start with this!

Alderney, Guernsey, Jersey, Sark / Guernsey - Thomas BISHOP and Jane CURNOW
« on: Sunday 14 February 21 02:19 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for the marriage and baptisms relating to this couple in Guernsey from 1851 through to 1860.

Thomas Bishop (wheelwright and widower) can be found living in St Martin, Guernsey in the 1851 census with his daughter, Caroline and two sons, Thomas and James. All are born in Somerset. Also in the residence is a Mary Ann Webb and her son, William.

According to someone else and not substantiated, Thomas married a Cornish girl, Jane Curnow on the 21st July, 1853 in St Andrews Church, St Peter Port. The couple then went on to have at least three children - Amelia Jane (1854 and on FamilySearch), William (1858, no record) and one other daughter (no record) and whose name I cannot find.

Thomas and his family, including his two sons, Thomas and James from an earlier marriage, then came to New Zealand in 1860.

I would vey much appreciate any help that anyone can give with regards to this couple and their children.

Regards
Robyn from New Zealand

Down / Cherry family from Gravaghy/Banbridge
« on: Thursday 06 August 20 02:09 BST (UK)  »
Hello

I am looking for any information relating to Robert CHERRY born abt 1792.

Robert married an unk LAUGHLIN/LOUGHLIN and had several children he then married her sister, Jane. Their daughter Mary, born abt 1848 came to NZ in 1868.

There are contemporary Cherrys who come up in the same area who may be Robert's siblings - one being Moses and it looks like Robert had a son, Moses as well.

I've contacted the local church and was put onto Proni but there doesn't appear to be any surviving parish records. I've found bits and pieces on Ros Davies' County Down site and I've accessed free information available in relation to civil registration and census records to cobble bits and pieces together.

I am hoping that there is some genie out there who can fill in those early gaps.

Very kind regards
Robyn from NZ
