US Lookup Requests / Dufour Family - New York Immigration

« on: Sunday 01 November 09 18:40 GMT (UK) »

Please could someone with a US or Worldwide Ancestry subscription look up the following family for me?

Alexander Vernier Dufour b.1831 London
Sarah Ann Dufour b. 1825 Brighton
Sarah Marguerite Dufour b. 1857 Ramsgate, Kent
Isaac Grenville Dufour b. 1860 Brighton
Alice Ellen Grenville Dufour b. 1861 Brighton

We think the family emigrated between 1865 and 1871. We know that Isaac was naturalised as a US citizen in 1892 in New York. If you find them, any info would be very gratefully received.

Many thanks,

Sarah and Jenny

Many thanks Suz - we haven't found them on the 1841 census either, but will have another look!

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Elizabeth Poole, Westminster

« on: Saturday 01 August 09 18:08 BST (UK) »

Please can someone look up the birth of Elizabeth Poole born to John Poole and Ann, nee Kent. Judging from Elizabeth's death certificate, she was born about 1842, probably in Westminster, her parents having married in January 1840.

We have already sent for two certificates, both wrong, being St. James Westminster, March Q 1841, vol. 1, p. 89 and St. Margaret's, Westminster, June Q 1842, vol. 1, p. 436.

We have three remaining possibles:

St. James Westminster, Dec Q 1839, vol. 1, p. 95 (before her parents marriage).

Westminster, March Q 1841, vol. 1, p.377 (Listed as Elizabeth Eliza)

Westminster, June Q 1844, vol. 1, p.420 (Listed as Elizabeth Ann)

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Sarah and Jenny

Wiltshire Completed Lookup Requests / Re: BEAMS - Everleigh, Wilts

Thanks Dave - this is very helpful, especially as some of the names like Dennys appear in the next generation down in the Beams family!

Wiltshire Completed Lookup Requests / BEAMS - Everleigh, Wilts

« on: Monday 22 June 09 19:13 BST (UK) »

Please could someone have a look at the Parish Records for Everleigh and see if there are any Beams or Kingsman births or burials from 1650-1730? We have a marriage at Everleigh in 1719, between Edward Beams and Ann Kingsman. We think Ann came from Rushall, but we have no idea where Edward was born. All Edward and Ann's children were born in Collingbourne Kingston, but we think they may have had an Edward first, possibly at Everleigh or possibly Ann gave birth to Edward before she was married.

Many thanks,

Sarah and Jenny

Thanks very much Alli - this has confirmed our understanding. We will have to keep searching for where Edward was born! It's a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack!

Best wishes,

Wiltshire Lookup Requests / Everleigh Marriage Look-up - BEAMS

We have the Everleigh baptisms and burials pre-1837, but no marriages. We are particularly keen to know whether there are any BEAMS marriages in the 1700s, or before, and whether anything is recorded against the marriage of Edward Beams and Anne Kingsman in the late 1700s, especially his parish of origin.

Here's hoping!

The Common Room / Re: Burial in common grave

« on: Friday 27 March 09 14:55 GMT (UK) »

Hi Pat,

We have had a couple of unmarked burials in our family, albeit earlier than yours. They were due to the person being poor and not having any remaining family to pay for the burial, or certainly no family who chose to.

We have recently been advised that although graves paid for from public funds cannot normally be marked by families, if they are very old, they might stretch a point. In accordance with this, we are about to mark a family grave from 1890, containing a g.g. aunt and uncle (they are the sole occupants of this grave though). No such offer has been made to us for a g.g.uncle who was laid to rest in a communal grave.

The only other reason I can think of for a communal burial would be an epidemic or a local disaster.

Hope this helps,

Sarah
