Devon Lookup Requests / Re: HEATH Family of East Allington
« on: Friday 03 October 08 04:06 BST (UK) »
Hi Splinter
We appear to be looking at the same family I think and probably with the same indecision about whether they are correct or not.
In particular I am interested in the person you have as Ann Adams Heath baptised 30 Sep 1788. I have a copy of an email from someone doing a lookup on this person back in 2002 and this says the parents were Henry and Mary and not Samuel and Mary. Have I been on a wild goose chase ever since? I have noticed Samuel Heath before but disregarded him on the basis of this lookup.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this one.

Yes I've seen it thanks but I was hoping (in vain it seems) that there might be something online.

Australia Lookups completed / Bounty Ships 1841 - White brothers
« on: Friday 03 October 08 01:05 BST (UK) »
Would someone know if there is an online resource which allows searching of the indexes to the bounty ships arriving in NSW before 1844. I know from then on they are on the State Archives site.
The person I am after is David Philip White or his brother Samuel White who I believe arrived in 1841.

Australia Lookups completed / Re: Port Macquarie newspapers
« on: Thursday 02 October 08 12:27 BST (UK) »
Thanks for the suggestion. This looks like a useful resource.
I knew that the Port Macquarie news commenced later than I am interested in ( abt 1875 ) but hoped that some other regional newspaper might have covered the area.
I'll keep looking.

Can anyone tell me what newspaper (if any) may have serviced Port Macquarie in the 1870s?

Devon Lookup Requests / WHITE baptisms in Modbury 1810 to 1820
« on: Wednesday 01 October 08 02:05 BST (UK) »
I know I am short cutting a visit to look at the microfiches myself, but since I won't be able to do that for a while, if anyone has easy access to Modbury, Devon baptisms for the years 1810 to 1820, I would appreciate your checking the baptisms of William, John and George White whose parents were (David) Philip and Ann White and letting me know any additional details which are recorded.
The baptisms I have are as follows but they don't quite tie up with other details I have so I'd appreciate the verification and also would like to know if there are any other likely candidates in the registers. Philip, the father was a baker and confectioner who later had a bakery in Kingsbridge, if this helps identify the records.
William White 27 May 1813
John White also 27 May 1813
George White 29 Sep 1815.
Many thanks for your trouble.

Devon Lookup Requests / Kingsbridge grave transcriptions - Phillip WHITE died 1830s
« on: Saturday 13 September 08 02:39 BST (UK) »
If there is anyone with access to one of the books of cemetery transcriptions for Kingsbridge in Devon or even if they have access to any extant cemeteries in Kingsbridge, I am looking for a reference to the death of Phillip White, baker of Duke Street, Kingsbridge.
I can last find him in the Pigot's for 1830 and he is clearly not alive in the 1841 census because his wife Ann is continuing the bakery with her son George. I am assuming he died sometime between 1830 and 1837 since I can't find an appropriate death record post registration. So I am down to gravestones to try to find out what happened to him.
I think his parents were John White and Agness Phillips and his wife was Ann Heath. I believe he was baptised on 25 Mar 1788 in Malborough parish.
I should add that his sons who emigrated to Australia were Wesleyan Methodists so I guess I should presume that Phillip would have been buried a Methodist or Anglican.
If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
