Hi

Does anyone have a connection to the RICHES family of Fressingfield?

I'm certain that I have correctly traced my family back to John RICHES who married Elizabeth FEVERYAR in Fressingfield 1780. I think John died in Fressingfield in 1814 aged 53 so was born about 1761. I have not found a baptism for John in the Fressingfield parish records.

A while ago I was given a tree that showed my John being born c1765 Fressingfield to parents Joseph RICHES and Mary CHARITY who married at Ditchingham in 1766. This tree goes back a couple more generations in Bungay. I have lost contact with the person who gave me this tree so I cannot find out the source of this information but I dont feel that there is any evidence at all that would connect John to Joseph and Mary of Bungay.

I did find a John RICHES baptism in Fressingfield 1727 to parents John and Elizabeth - too old to be my John but possibly a relative?

Any ideas what I should look for next to either prove or disprove that my John is the son of Joseph and Mary?

Many thanks

Hi

I just looked at my viewed images on scotlandspeople and was astounded at how many I have collected over the years. One day I will get around to adding the full details to the list as well as the other people on the same page but in the meantime if you would like to know more about any of these please let me know.

Hi

I'm hoping someone can give me a little bit of advice. I have wasted so much money on scotlandspeople in the past and so this time I want to use my credits wisely.

What I'm pretty sure about is the following.

David Keir married Euphemia Sim(e) in 1810 Alloa and had the following children - Margaret 1811, Jane 1813, William 1815, David 1818 all Alloa, John 1820, Robert 1822, Gordon 1825 all Dollar.

David and Euphemia can be found in 1841/1851 Dollar and in 1851 David is a carter and farmer of 10 acres born Saline, Fife. Euphemia died a widow in 1857 and so it looks as if David must have died before 1855 (typical!).

The most likely baptism of David Keir in Saline is to John Keir and Jean/Jane Anderson in Saline 1788. I looked at their marriage but it doesnt tell me anything useful and I dont suppose the baptisms of any of the other children found on the IGI would help me either.

Any suggestions on how I can confirm whether John and Jane are David's parents? 

I would be very grateful for your ideas

Thanks

Hi

I'm completely stuck with my Learys. All I know is that Ellen Leary born c1830 married Charles Flewers in 1854 Bethnal. In census records she always states her birthplace as Poplar but I cannot find her for definate in any census before her marriage. Her father was James Leary, a bricklayer.

I have a possible baptism in 1829 to James Leary and Ellen Cokeley from the RC Chapel in Poplar but without further proof I can't claim her. Also baptised to this couple were Ellen 1824, Ann 1825, John 1826, Daniel 1832.

I know it's like looking for a needle in a haystack and I have quite a  collection of "wrong" Learys so I was hoping that if everyone else with London Learys could add their information here perhaps one of us might get lucky and spot a connection!

Lyla


Here are a couple of "wrong" Learys that might be somebody elses "Right" Learys.

Death: 28/11/1885 St George in the East, Princes St, workhouse
Mary Leary, 76 Field Worker, Heart Disease.

Death: 12/6/1856 Lower Chapman St, St George in the East
James Leary, 26, Dock Sampler, Phthtisis, Jeremiah Donovan present at death

Hi

We have managed to trace most Flewers families back to two families living in London in the early 1800s.  Several descendents beleive that the Flewers were huguenots but so far we have found no evidence of this. Any sightings of Flewers before 1841 would be most welcome.

If you have a Flewers ancestor, please come and share your photos, certificates, family legends and gossip at our Flewers group
