Armed Forces / Re: Gibraltar - Military Births
« on: Tuesday 06 August 13 08:54 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find a Birth in Gibraltar which was given on FindMyPast.

It stated ALEXANDER MCDONALD - Gibraltar_ 23rd.  Vol. 1311 Page 11.

No date or Parent given.

My reason is that a Soldier called HECTOR MCDONALD/MACDONALD served as a Soldier during the period around 1808.  His wife was said to be CATHERINE MORRISON, they were said to be from Isle of Skye AND their son ALEXANDER was said to have been born in BELFAST IRELAND......but no Records for either the Marriage or Birth of ALEXANDER abt. 1808 born Belfast Ireland can be found.

If I could identify the above Alexander McDonald born Gibraltar at least I could delete or otherwise.

Thank you for any advice which may be given.

Cheers,
Barnsie

Lanarkshire / Alexander MCDONALD AND Catherine BROWN Glasgow
« on: Monday 05 August 13 14:10 BST (UK)  »
Looking for anyone descended from this Couple.......

Alexander was born in Portree, Isle of Skye in 1863 and married Catherine Brown in Glasgow in 1884......I think they had 10 children in Glasgow, one of which, Hector McDonald moved to London.
Where did all the others go?
I have researched this McDonald Family for some time and would like to share what I have found.

Cheers,

Channel Islands Lookup Requests / PASCAL/PASCALL Births Guernsey AND Jersey
« on: Wednesday 30 November 11 13:11 GMT (UK)  »
Trying to find Births of children found in 1861 UK Census - St. Peter Port Guernsey.
The children are listed with Mother whose christian name is FROSEN?...wife of VICTOR DESPLANQUE, Stone Dresser.  He is born abt. 1835 France, she is born abt. 1834 Guernsey.
As first child listed is stated as step son, I am presuming Frosen was Mother of children.

I can't find a Marriage for this couple, nor Births for these children:

ARNNES? PASCAL (male)  born abt. 1854 Guernsey
FROSEN PASCAL (female) born abt. 1855 Guernsey
EDWARD PASCAL born abt. 1856 JERSEY
ROSE PASCAL born abt. 1857 Guernsey

On a Marriage Cert. EDWARD PASCAL states Father called PETER PASCAL, Farmer.
By 1871 Census Victor is stated as unmarried and in St. Heliers.  No sign of family.

Any help finding these Births would be wonderful.

Thank You.

Alderney, Guernsey, Jersey, Sark / PASCAL/PASCALL Births Guernsey
« on: Wednesday 30 November 11 12:34 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to find the Births of a family which are found in 1861 Census.

ARNNES PASCAL  male, abt. 1854 Guernsey
Frosen PASCAL female abt. 1855 Guernsey
EDWARD PASCAL male abt. 1856 Jersey
ROSE PASCAL female abt. 1857 Guernsey

It seems their Mother was called FROSEN PASCAL or something similar and she is found in 1861 in St. Peter Port Guernsey as wife of VICTOR DESPLANQUE....he born France.  She born Guernsey.
In 1871 he is alone in St. Helier and stating unmarried.

It is possible the children were born to a PETER PASCAL, Farmer........but need someone to try and help me if possible.

With thanks,

Wicklow / Richard Henry CLAYTON of Wicklow?
« on: Wednesday 04 November 09 06:04 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to locate any information relating to the family of RICHARD HENRY CLAYTON born abt. 1790 in Co. Wicklow.
It is possible he had a sister called JUDITH CLAYTON of similar age.
They were not catholic and I am wondering just where do I start looking for this family.

Any help very much appreciated.
