Hi,

I'm looking for any information on Charles (master silk weaver) and Sarah Harrington. 

They had a son Francis Harrington b abt Sep 1810 in Bethnal Green, London who emigrated to Australia with his wife Catherine and nephew Charles on 23 Nov 1837.

The only info I have on Charles and Sarah was obtained from Francis' shipping records on arrival in Austalia.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

I have been tracing my family tree in Australia and am up to Francis Harrington b 29 September 1810 (according to shipping records).  He married a Catherine Jessie Roberts in London whose parents were Robert Roberts and Mary.

 Francis and Catherine emigrated to Australia (aboard the "Orontes") with their nephew Charles and according to the shipping records Francis' parents were Charles Harrington and Sarah.  Francis was christened in St Matthews, Bethnal Green, London on the 21 Oct 1810. 

Francis was a house carpenter and his nephew charles was his apprentice.

I am looking for a record of his marriage to Catherine and also any record of his parents Charles and Sarah, but I'm not sure how to go about it.  Can anyone help me?

Who knows, I'm really confused - I mean it could be Thomas and Sarah were the parents - they had a Richard who died before turning 1, one year before the year of my Richard's birth.  Would they name the next child the same as one who had died?  There's also a gap where they didn't have any children according to this between 1834 and 1839, so it could be so.

I think this 16 yr old could be my Richard - the age is certainly right.

So, is there anyone out there with access to the 1841 census?

Hi,

I have a dead end in Mr Richard Scudds b 7-6-1835 in Newnham Murren.  I can find no record of his birth using the net, so am hoping someone out there might help me.

He left England for Australia in 1855 on the ship Constitution, and from here on I have alot of detail, but prior to this he seems to be non-existant.  His parents are listed as not known on his death certificate.

I have located another Richard Scudds who i think may be his father.  This richard b 1810 in Wallingford, but living in Newnham Murren at the 1861 census, married to Mary b 1810  They had son charles b1841 in Crowmarsh living with them at the time. 

There were a few Scudd's born around the same time and in either Newnham Murrenn or Crowmarsh as my Richard that may be brothers and sisters.  Israel b 1828 Newnham, Thomas b 1843, Sarah b 1836 Oxfordshire, John b 1828 Wallingford, James 1841 b Crowmarsh, elizabeth b1829 Crowmarsh, Benjamin b 1833 Oxfordshire.

I've spent alot of time trying to establish a link, but getting nowwhere and I'm not sure what to do now - this is all the information I have.

Frustrated.

Harry,

Thanks for your help with this.

The first Richard and Elizabeth look to be likely candidates.  How do I get the birth certificate of  Richard Scudds born 7/6/1835 to verify the link ?
