Radnorshire / Re: Meyricks in Presteigne, 1760 onwards
« on: Wednesday 07 March 18 08:40 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Bernard

Thanks for the update :)
I believe Peter PUGET was living in Presteigne for a time, and suspect that Thomas King MEYRICK was friends or similar with him, and named his son after him for that reason. I have done quite a bit of research on trying to find any connection between the families in terms of marriage etc, and there doesn't appear to be any, other than them both being relatively similar in age and living in the same small town at the same town!

I have the death certificate for Thomas King MEYRICK - he was born about 1763 (christened 10 May 1763) and died 19 Dec 1845, his wife was Cassandra STANTON born about 1767 and died 2 Apr 1840. Thomas King MEYRICK's parents were John MEYRICK (1732 - 1796) and Margaret KING (1729 - 1766) so I think that is the origin of King has his middle name :)

I managed to get hold of a couple of books written by Margaret Newman Turner who is a descendent of Thomas & Cassandra's son Edward Stanton MEYRICK. One includes a photo of grandparents and the other book (on Joseph Murray Ince) includes a picture / painting of Thomas King MEYRICK plus his son Edward. There is also a picture of Robert LEWIS (whose wife was Ann Harriet STANTON - a sister of Cassandra). Robert's brother Thomas LEWIS also married Elizabeth MEYRICK (a daughter of Thomas King & Cassandra MEYRICK - so a lot of connections between the families).

Have you got a family tree at all? I would be keen to compare if you were interested?

Cheers,
Kathryn

Canada / Pittard & possibly Smith families - Oderin, Newfoundland
« on: Friday 11 March 16 11:08 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there

I'm wondering if anyone can suggest where I might find records of a marriage in Oderin (around 1811, of a Charles PITTARD (he was born 1783 in England). He married a Mary or Mary Ann and they had two daughters in Oderin - Mary in 1812 and Martha in 1814 before all heading to England.

My ancestor, another of their daughters was named Elizabeth Smith PITTARD which did make me wonder if her mothers maiden name might be SMITH.

Any pointers would be most appreciated as its not a region I'm at all familiar with researching.

Thanks,
Kat

Thanks so much for your response, and sorry mine has been so late - I was overseas and not able to look into at all!

I had come across the marriage of a Thomas ROBERTS to Ann RUMMELL and wondered if it was "our" one, but couldn't find anything to confirm it, and there seemed to be a few questionable conflicts that perhaps suggested it wasn't "our" Thomas ROBERTS.

My Thomas was born about 1750 (aged 90 at his death in 1839) and seemed to live his whole life in the parish of St George Southwark whereas the Thomas ROBERTS on the marriage record was of Christ Church (although I don't know enough about the different areas to know how close or distant the two were). The notes I have from a family member who did some research in London in the 1920s suggests he worked in customs too - although how much truth to that, I don't know. I do know that he was literate though, so that was the last part that seemed inconsistent, that the Thomas on the marriage to Ann RUMMELL signed his mark. But that all said, the date fits in extremely well with the people I am looking at so I will try and relook at it this week to see if I can fit it in or more conclusively rule it out! These people see to make it very difficult to track them!!!

Thank you! Will definitely look into that. We have Nathaniel as a Saddler, so am thinking it may not be ours, but worth looking at further :)

Thank you! I believe I have found Henry Roberts CLARK and his sister Mary Ann Sarah CLARK in the 1841 census (although the information is too vague to be absolutely certain).

1841 census - St Mary Newington - At I believe "Rodney Place" or similar.

Henry CLARK listed as born 1817 - recorded as a printer
Mary CLARK listed as born 1819
Both living at house of a William HAZELL born 1797 & Mary HAZELL born 1804.

We know from later records that Henry Roberts CLARK became a signwriter and grainer but not sure if he would have started as a printer on that basis....

Thank you!
I had come across that marriage but with no connections to Bristol whatsoever had put it to the back of my mind (although the date is in the right sort of timeframe)  :)

Surrey Lookup Requests / Roberts Family - St George the Martyr Southwark (& possibly surrounds)
« on: Tuesday 19 May 15 12:53 BST (UK)  »
Hi there

I am trying to trace my elusive ROBERTS family in the mid to late 1700s into the early 1800s in and around the area of St George the Martyr, Southwark.

I have Thomas ROBERTS born 1750 (possibly to a William and Elizabeth ROBERTS at St George the Martyr), and died 1839 in Buckingham Square, New Kent Road. He married first to an Ann UNKNOWN - they had a daughter Mary in 1792 (& possibly a son too) but am having trouble finding the marriage of Thomas and Ann.

Ann then died (possibly in 1830) and Thomas remarried an Elizabeth. Elizabeth remarried in 1842 after Thomas died in 1839, and the banns record for this has her father as Stephen RADFORD, but cannot find a record of her marriage to Thomas.

Thomas & Ann's daughter Mary (possibly Mary Ann) married Nathaniel CLARK in 1820, had my 3 x gt gf Henry Roberts CLARK in 1821 and a daughter Mary Ann Sarah CLARK in 1823 - but Mary CLARK nee ROBERTS was dead by the time her father wrote his will in 1838. I would dearly love to find her death, along with what happened to her daughter Mary Ann Sarah CLARK born 1823.

Would dearly love any help or suggestions as to where to look :)

Thanks,
Kat
