A question please, I always thought that I would be notified by email when there was a post re the Robinson clan.  If I don't go on my computer and look for this site I don't know that someone has written a message.  Lesley

Thank you everyone, but I really think that this is a different family altogether. :( Lesley

Thank you everyone for trying to help me with my John Robinson.  I was lead to believe that he was protestant.  He had 11 children all born in Borrisokane, the last being a girl and she was baptised in Kilbarron Church which led to believe was burnt down.  Their only daughter said that the same snow was on the road for both funerals (her parents) and that her father, Michael died of grief 3 months after his wife, Ellen. I worked it out it would have to have been around 1856.  Ellen died suddenly, from a stroke, while milking a pet cow. Ellen Ralph was believed to have had 4 sisters, one married a Dagg, another Hodgins, another Armitage, another an englishmen by the name of Singleton.  I don't know any christian names. One or two of them could have gone to America.  Ellen was known as Ellen Ralph of Ralphmont.  Michael could also beforehand come from Galway.  All this is being taken from a letter written back in the mid 1900s.  With Michael there is reported to be a castle somewhere Stangarry/Shangarry/Stanbally/Shangally Castle Co. Galway. Also mentions their house is now called either the  "Red House" or "The Big House" and she saw it once at a distance and she stated that in her Grannie's day (who was the only daughter) it was the "Long Lane House".
Also mentions Sir Robert McKenzie & Sir Michael McKenzie (Scotch Baronets) and their sister Hon. Marion Monica McKensie and that Michael Robinson comes down from one of them.  (I have researched and found nothing)  I can tell more but feel taking up too much of everyone's time. Sorry if disjointed. Lesley

Sussex / Re: Fenner Family in Sussex
« on: Monday 23 December 19 01:47 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Hudor.  I can take not only myself but also my husband back to the Fenners. We come down through John Ellames  Fenner's sister Elizabeth Fenner 1758-1818 married to James Nye 1851-1809. James Nye and William Fenner (Elizabeth & John Ellames' brother) were Tunbridgeware makers in Tunbridge. 
I have Thomas Parish Fenner [The First] 1783-1863 and married to Elizabeth Bevan Park.
His parents were John Ellames Fenner 1750-1813 & Mary Paris c.1744-1808.
His parents were John Fenner 1723-1793 & Sarah Ellames 1726-1803 and I can take Sarah back another 3 generations.
I would love to see what you have if anything on the Nye family and what you have on the Fenner line. Looking forward to hearing from you.  Coffee Girl

Hi Tim,
Sorry taking you for Gizelle.
I am quite happy to correspond by email if you are happy to give me your email address.  I have not come up with any Nye/Fenner yet on Gedmatch, there are so many to go through and also I am new at this. 
On Family Tree DNA, autosomal, I have only put my direct tree on, however, under the names am researching I have mentioned Nye and Fenner.   
I don’t feel  like putting my Gedmatch no. on rootsweb, hence asking for your email address. 
I, too, am having trouble connecting to cousins, have found a couple, in my case it is probably that I have asked many to have the test, and none have said yes.  Also maybe no Nye and Fenner cousins have done the DNA test.  It is a long and arduous task this DNA so I am finding out, 6 weeks later.
Actually, we must not be a match as I cannot find you on Gedmatch nor the automosal unless you are under a different name and when I put Fenner in the surnames only 1 comes up.  Gladys McMillin.
Must go and get some work done as I have to take my computer into be looked at tomorrow and they will have it for a few days.
Coffee Girl.

Hi Gizelle, we have corresponded before.  You come down through John Fenner 1750-1813 and I come through his sister Elizabeth who married James Nye.  My husband does as well, strange.
I have had my DNA done through Family Tree but can access ancestry and others if you upload, free of charge to gedcom and then you get a whole lot more people to compare with and also tells you more.  Have you done gedcom?  Coffee Girl
