Gloucestershire / Searching for family of John Drake from Gloucestershire
« on: Thursday 01 February 18 10:45 GMT (UK)  »
Hello. I am searching for information about John Drake (b. 1640) in English Bicknor, Gloucestershire. According to FamilySearch his parents are William and Jane Drake.  I have information about John's baptism date, 20 Nov 1640, but no information about William and/or Jane.  I would like find biographical information about William and Jane and perhaps find out if John had any siblings.

Any assistance is appreciated.  I don't pay a fee to FindMyPast or Ancestry, so they aren't helpful.

Sussex / Searching for John Drake and Jane Stanesby from Sussex
« on: Thursday 01 February 18 08:10 GMT (UK)  »
Hello. I am searching for information regarding John Drake, Sr. and his wife, Jane Stanesby (b. 1771) from Sussex. The information I have found is that their five children (including my 11th great grandmother) were all baptized in Oving, Sussex where their father served as rector of the local Anglican parish at that time (1670-1682).  I am searching for biographical information about John and Jane. Any information is appreciated.  I don't pay money to FindMyPast or Ancestry, so they aren't helpful, and I cannot find anything via FamilySearch.  Any assistance is appreciated.

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / Searching for John and Hannah (Hodgson) Tate from Selby
« on: Monday 29 January 18 10:24 GMT (UK)  »
I am still searching for information regarding the other children of John Tate (b.1769) and his wife, Hannah Hodgson (b. 1771) from Selby. I descend through their son, William (b. 1795) and his wife, Mary Gibson (b. 1796).  I would like to find information about any of William's other siblings.  Any information is appreciated.  I don't pay money to FindMyPast or Ancestry, so they aren't helpful, and I cannot find anything via FamilySearch.  Any assistance is appreciated.

Warwickshire / Searching for Nicholas Heath and Alice NN from Warwickshire
« on: Saturday 27 January 18 06:44 GMT (UK)  »
Based upon research done, it appears that my father's family (Heath) may have had a connection to Dosthill in 1585. I am looking for information about Nicholas Heath, Sr. and Alice NN. Their grandchildren from their son, Nicholas, Jr., and his wife, Margaret Beck were all born in Kingsbury.

I am hoping to find information about exactly where Nicholas, Jr. was born (and when). Nicholas, Jr.'s oldest son, Robert, my 12th great grandfather, was born in Kingsbury, Warwickshire in 1582. I would assume that Nicholas and his wife were born between 1555 and 1560. I would like to know where Nicholas, Sr. and Alice were born and when (if possible).

Nicholas, Sr. and Alice are my 14th great grandparents. Any assistance you can provide is appreciated.

The Common Room / Searching for Heath family from Warwickshire
« on: Friday 19 January 18 17:17 GMT (UK)  »
Hello. I am looking for information regarding my 13th great grandparents, Nicholas Heath and his wife, NN and Thomas Gardiner and his wife, NN.  Nicholas' oldest son, Robert, my 12th great grandfather, was born in Kingsbury, Warwickshire in 1582.  I would assume that Nicholas and his wife were born between 1555 and 1560. 

Robert's wife, Elizabeth Gardiner, was born in 1584, so I would assume that Thomas Gardiner and his wife were born around the same period as Nicholas Heath. However, I have no information about any other siblings for Elizabeth.  Robert is the oldest of 4.

Any assistance you can provide is greatly appreciated. When I found Robert's siblings on FamilySearch there was no mother listed, only Nicholas.  Geni wasn't helpful either.

The Common Room / Searching for John Drake and Jane Stanley from Chichester, Sussex.
« on: Friday 19 January 18 09:02 GMT (UK)  »
Hello. John Drake and his wife, Jane (Stanley) Drake, are my 11th great grandparents. In a 1964 article, I read the following, "Mary Drake, the eldest daug­hter of John Drake (sometime; vicar of Chichester in England) and his wife Jane, the daughter of Sir Thomas Stanley. Mary Drake
was born August 22, 1672." 

I am looking for information about John and Jane.  I've tried FamilySearch with no result. Geni was not helpful either.  I assume that Jane Stanley was from Chichester, but no proof.   I have no information about Sir Thomas Stanley or any name of his wife.   I am hoping to find dates and locations of birth/death for John Drake and Jane Stanley.  Any help is appreciated.

« on: Thursday 18 January 18 07:50 GMT (UK)  »
Hello. I am looking for information about my 6th great grandparents and their families from Yorkshire. His name was William Tate (b. 1793) and married Mary Gibson (b. 1794) who was also from Yorkshire.  In 1835, William and his entire family emigrated to the US via "The Brooklyn".   I would like to be able to find out the names of William and Mary's parents as well as any siblings they might have had.

I tried FamilySearch; however, I found nothing.  Geni also has nothing.  Any assistance is appreciated.

Northumberland / Searching for Tate family from Northumberland
« on: Wednesday 10 January 18 19:54 GMT (UK)  »
Hello. In regard to the Tate family, the only information I have for the first Tates to come the US is: John Tate (b. 1815) from Northumberland and Rosanna NN (b. 1817) from Ireland.  I have no idea where they married.  They initially settled in NYC since their oldest son, William (b. 1839) was born there.  Eventually, the entire family moved to Louisville, Kentucky.  I would love to find out more information about John and Rosanna, if possible.  At minimum, I would like to know who John's parents are.
