Berwickshire / Re: Weatherston - Baptism Help Please
« on: Thursday 16 November 17 00:05 GMT (UK)  »
Quote from: barbara13511 on Monday 18 June 12 07:58 BST (UK)
That Nichol isn't yours.  He is on the census at Lauder born Gordon with wife Isabella and son eldest son James.  Yours looks to have an eldest son Thomas and with second daughter being Agnes I would look for parents Thomas and Agnes having children in Eccles around the right time.  Nichol's baptism might have been missed in the records but he did have a James who could be a brother living with him in 1841 - that might help too.  Let me know how you get on.

Hi, I am doing some research that is leading back to this family - can I ask which parents are those of Nichol.  I have a Nichol Weatherston being married to Elspeth TAIT.  The Nichol born 1857 I have is a Grandson to Nichol and Elspeth Weatherston by all accounts, potential illegitimate son of daughter Isabella b1839.  Anything you could let me know would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Huntingdonshire Lookup Requests / Help to find out who the parents were of William Markley
« on: Sunday 19 March 17 17:45 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, would anyone with access to the Huntingdonshire information be able to see if there is any information on who the parents are of William Markley supposedly born around 1830 in Stilton.  On a census there is the name of a mother which is Elizabeth born around 1796.  I am looking for more information on who the parents to William are.  Any help, suggestions, greatly appreciated.

Thank you to everyone who had a try for me.  It is such a shame it is so badly damaged.  I do not have the original, my cousin does.  Will have to see what can be done - my picture is a screenshot, so you have all done very well thank you.  Choosingg the colour blue was a good choice, my dad told me today that was my Nan's colour of choice, she wore it a lot!

Family History Beginners Board / Re: Bonynge
« on: Saturday 28 January 17 12:09 GMT (UK)  »
Not sure if I can help, I am descended from a BONYNGE, unfortunately all I know about her for definite is that she came over from Ireland in time to appear on the 1841 census, and is listed living in Writington (not sure that is spelled correctly), Wigan, Lancashire.  I have another BONYNGE descendent who is the witness to my 2nd Gt Grandmothers marriage (worked out as the name is actually the married surname, so Bonynge is the maiden name) this was in London 1875.  I have also had DNA testing that matches me to someone who is a BONYNGE descendent connected to William Francis Bonynge from Co Longford.  There is someone on Ancestry who has a very extensive tree of Bonynges researched, and I am positive the people you mention are on there.

Perhaps we are connected!

Hi would it be possible to see if anyone could do anything with this photograph.  It is of our Grandmother.  Many thanks in advance.  She was from London, and the family surname was MANLEY.

Hi to those who responded.  Following the purchase of a marriage certificate I have been able to distinguish which Abraham Hearn to follow, with the help of a couple of witnesses and a few censuses that is!  Are the images viewable of the baptisms and marriages that are mentioned here, or is it a case of phoning the local archives and seeing what there is.  Thank you to everyone for your help.

London and Middlesex / Re: James Gilfillan born c 1823 Strand, St Clement Danes
« on: Thursday 12 May 16 21:31 BST (UK)  »
Just catching up - the daughters mentioned are not daughters of our John and Elizabeth - I believe that they are the daughters of the John Gilfillan and Elizabeth who go to New Zealand at some stage (doing this from memory) - this John Gilfillan was murdered I think in New Zealand - he originally came from Scotland (I think) - there are articles about this particular John Gilfillan - the line goes way back to Scotland family names Buchanan (from research 4 years ago).

Our John and Elizabeth are from Star Court and did die very close together - Gill Price - I think you and I need to message each other to catch our trees up !! We are obviously 'connected' somewhere along the line.  Looking forward to it!
