Hello fellow detectives. I am discovering that my 3rd Great gp onwards are from St Helier. I have done ancestry.com research on them plus Jerripedia (great resource) now wishing to locate relatives and or monumental inscriptions, stories, photo's etc on my family. to fill in those blanks. My family are as follows: I have also done ancestry and Ftdna. Welcome your help, discoveries, hints and ideas.

Jean Poucle (1792- ?) = m = Ann Dain (1806 - ?)
Louis Poucle (1766 - 1820) = m = Anne Coutanche (1768-?)
Thomas Dain (1787 - 1820) = m = Annah ? (1785??)

Happy isolation.
I am currently researching [Maori Land court minute books] this colourful gentleman, Paramount Chief of Maketu, Kawhia. 'Te Kihirini te kanawa' . I wish to correspond to those that have a connection to him, in order to complete his Whakapapa. Welcome your input and help.
I also have a DNA connection to Potatau Te Wherowhero.

Many thanks

Hello fellow detectives happy isolation from New Zealand. As you can see I am researching the surname of Bockerah of London c1770's.

My ancestor lived here at Pear Tree Court, Bethnal Green 1788 [source Old Bailey] his family has been completed, but i am trying to locate his siblings, parents etc. There are many Bockron, Abrahams living in the area. Solomon married? to an Ann and had a son Solomon Bockery baptized at 9 Mar 1789 at St Leonards, Shoreditch, nothing more in known about the young Solomon.

A Clue was given when our Solomon was recorded on the Old bailey trial 10 Dec 1788 as "Solomon Baker" otherwise Buckero. Thought that 'Baker' might be his profession!. Any way a second clue is that he was buried as a reconised 'Jew' in Sydney 1791. Some talk that he may in fact be a Sephardi Jew.

My DNA has confirmed I have 1% Jewish connection. I've researched the Jewishgen site, ancestry.com but nothing concrete. So I'm looking for any body connected to these surnames, what cemeteries they may be buried in at London and helpful hints etc.

My DNA is with ancestry.com, Ftdna and my heritage.

Many thanks
Murray

Australia / Looking for Cemetery of burial for Solomon Bockron / Bockerah
« on: Sunday 05 April 20 06:05 BST (UK)  »
Hello everyone my ancestor Solomon Bockron died on 16th July 1791 a convict Jew, buried at Sydney Cove [ source Johnson’s register of burials ] in a forgotten piece of land designated by Governor Philip... Solomon was the first person to be recognised as a Jew to be buried by Rev. Richard Johnson. Solomon’s wife Ann or Sarah Buckril is buried at St Johns cemetery, Parramatta she died 1793. Her gravestone was paid for by Judge Advocate Richard Atkins. I just trying to locate Solomon’s final resting place.
Thank you

Sorry, usually all replies come back to my email but alas I somehow missed this. I’m not actually sure. Martha Ward I found living in Calstock, Cornwall in the 1871 Census. Had a daughter born 1869 named Beatrice. Next event was they had a son (William John Ward) born we think at New York or SAN Francisco or California in 1872. I understand James left Cornwall around 1869 and went possible via Ontario as his parents and some siblings went to Algoma to Bruce Mines. In 1875 James came to NZ listed as a widow.
Thank you

Yes thats right, just not sure where two now. Could the marriage be annulled? Maybe Keturah left and came back to the UK or else where ... frustrating
