Hertfordshire / Re: WEEDON Family parents of Joseph?
« on: Thursday 19 June 14 15:19 BST (UK)  »
I have traced my Weedon's back to Joseph (abt 1757-1827) who married Mary Davies 28 Mar 1779 at St Giles Cripplegate.  Joseph's siblings include John (d. 1790 of small pox), George (settled in Uxbridge), and two unmarried sisters Mary Ann and Patience/Patricia who were alive to witness Joseph's will in 1827.

Who are their parents?  Family stories claim their father had a large family by his first marriage in Buckinghamshire and then came to London and had these children by his second wife, Mary Howard.
She was of a non-conformist church.  Joseph was a habardasher, later generations were drapers and lace merchants.

Any connections to your Weedons?  Would also appreciate suggestions for searching pre-1800 Bucks/Middlesex from "across the pond" (Illinois USA)

Wales / Deserters during French and Indian War

Does anyone know of resources that list names of men who served in the military during the "French and Indian Wars"  (1754-1763) or especially those who deserted their post?  Thomas WALKER was supposedly a native of Wales, was sent to north america, deserted his post, shows up in New Hampshire and later fought in the Revolutionary War on the American side.

Berkshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1830's BMD at Frogmore - HARDY

 Thank you for the warm welcome and quick responses already!

Having found Thomas and Martha buried at St. John the Baptist may narrow the search for their wedding and the baptism of their three daughters to that parish.

As for the "elusive" Augusta -- she was employed by the Governor of Australia/Tasmania/New Zealand and later advertised herself for private lessons, so she was half a world away from Windsor at the time of the 1881 census.

« on: Monday 04 April 11 21:34 BST (UK)  »
Thomas HARDY (b. about 1779, d. 25 Jan 1840 at Clarence House London) was a Page in the Royal Household of Princess Augusta at Frogmore.

Wife Martha (b. about 1801, d. abt  1843)
Daughters: Augusta (b. 1831), Sophia Mary (b. 1833), Louisa (b. 1835)

Seeking marriage date, birth/baptism for three daughters, death of wife (1843 Windsor JAS vol 6 pg. 164),  burial location.

I have 1841 Census for wife and daughters as well as newspaper announcement of his death.
