Family History Beginners Board / Re: Polish births

This may be along shot. Did he have any children and were they baptised by a Polish priest?  My wife has a Polish background, her parents both Polish settled in England after the war.  My wife's baptism certificate has a wealth of information on it including where her parents were born and even her grandparents names.  I realize this information may have been entered on the priest's whim but it could be another route to follow up on.

Clare / Re: Hugh King Francis
« on: Friday 11 January 19 00:31 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Lois.
The earliest reference to Hugh King Francis I have is the marriage.  I made an error with the date I had another marriage on my mind the date was 9 Jun 1833, sorry.  I have not tried searching in any county Clare  records yet.  If I find anything I will you know. I don't recall us communicating in the past.  His death register states his age as 68.  This would put his birth year nearer 1800.  All the information I have is from the census.

Clare / Re: Hugh King Francis
« on: Tuesday 08 January 19 15:00 GMT (UK)  »
Hugh King Francis was my third great grandfather.  I too have the information that he was born in Clare, Ireland.  I have a record of a marriage of a Hugh Francis to Elizabeth Hawksworth in Handsworth, no Sheffield.  In the 1851 census he is listed as being a letter carrier and as retired in the 1861 census.  I have only just joined RootsChat hence the time lapse from your posts.  It’s also the first time I have seen the name outside of “official documents”.  The marriage was in 1829.  Hoping this is read and is of use.
