Thank you for all this information Ciderdrinker.
I have a few of these names and dates but you have unearthed some extra interesting ones for me and it'll take a little time to compare them to what I have.  Some of the baptism and death dates are very helpful and I'll look into those further. The Will information is also interesting so thank you.

Hi Steve
Ive just come back looking at this conversation after what I can see is 10 years and find that I didnt reply to your last two messages which was remiss of me and you must think me very rude.  I was most grateful for all your help.
Wishing you well.

Devon / Hunts in Barnstaple
« on: Saturday 22 October 22 08:44 BST (UK)  »
I'm wondering if there are any Hunts here with Hunt ancestors in Barnstaple. I've shared my family research info (so far) with my Hunt brothers who both live in Devon and they are really excited by my Barnstaple findings, although there is much still to discover, I am sure! 
I have:-
John Dennis Hunt (and Margaret Harry) Ironmonger [Abt 1777-1855] Ironmonger (my 3x gt grandfather)
John Hunt 12, Joy Street, Silversmith and Watchmaker (2xgt grandfather) and Mary Ann Parnell.
William Hunt, Ironmonger 35&36 High Street.(Abt 1807-1897)

I did ask a question about my Hunt ancestors 10 years ago and had a lot of helpful responses, for which I was most grateful.  I'm asking again after all this time as it might be read by someone new. If anyone has these in their family ancestry I'd be fascinated to learn more.
Many thanks for reading,

Hi I'm really stuck I'm trying to find Robert & Frances Fayrer & family between 1851-1861
i cant find Robert in 1841 as i only know his fathers name no other details his father was Joseph Fayrer.
Robert & Frances (Nee Fletcher) married 1844 Tissington Derby
Frances was born 1811 in Tissington Derby.

I have Frances and her children from 1871 living in Ashbourne Derbyshire & in 1881 the Isle of white
Children-
1871-Mary Eliz b.1847 Surrey + in 1881 Born Camberwell surrey
1871 -Fanny J B.1850 Surrey + in 1881 Born Camberwell surrey

I also have a Robert Fayar b. 1846 Camberwell Surrey on the 1851 census in Derbyshire living with Mary Fletcher - (Frances Fayrer Nee Fletcher's) mum he's the son of a Clergyman so must be Roberts & Frances son I'm guessing !

I have looked again & again changing the spelling of there surname i just cant find them in 1851 or 1861.

Someone please help!!!


Hi Kelsmells
Do you have marriage details for Fanny/Fannie (1874) Mary Elizabeth (1880) and Robert (1883)?

Hi Kelsmell
I've just found your post and read it with great interest. My mum was a Fayrer and I haven't come across anyone researching them up until now.
I can't answer your original question but I have a list of (what I thought were) all the Fayrer marriages between 1840 and 1984.  However this list does not have the marriage of Robert and Frances in 1844, which is rather disappointing. I was given this list plus other Fayrer documents via my mother by a Dr Fayrer who lived in the Channel Islands, do you know of him?
I have noted a few other points which I will have to look up in my records eg: I'm sure the name Mary E Law and Channell Law ring a bell, as did the word Outram.(as in Outram Road, Croydon)  I see that there is a James Outram Spens Fayrer married in Kensington in September Qtr 1892.  possibly no connection.
I'm going off to rummage, although these are not my direct line.  :)

The Common Room / Re: Where do you keep your tree?

Ancestry for me and Family Tree Maker. They sync with each other, so that if anything happens to one, I still have the other. 

Regards 

Chas


Kiltpin, Just out of interest, as I have a very old version of Family Tree Maker, do you know if I'd be able to move my saved records from the version I am using, if I were to buy a new version?
Thanks.

Buckinghamshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1901 Census look up request please.
« on: Monday 17 May 21 07:47 BST (UK)  »
Thank you all for your help and for taking the time to look up information for me. I’ve given mum lots to read through and she’s delighted. It’s also brought back many memories of her grandmother and great aunts.
This is such a helpful group 👍.

Kate, I think that sounds quite plausible that there was just a misunderstanding about maiden name. 
I can imagine it might have felt a bit stressful having to go into an 'official' environment and give information at that time and mistakes might have been more commonplace.  I think  many of the population were illiterate back then too and probably anything to do with officialdom might have felt more daunting experience for many.

I’m happy to read this, it was what I was thinking too.

Thank you so much for your help.
Kate.
