I have been searching for some time for the burial place of Robert Jerrett, without success.

Robert was born in Sandford, Devon 1815 to parents James Jerrett and Mary Cousins.   He married Sarah Strong in 1846 in Paddington, London - they already had five children, all born in Sandford, followed by four more.   The family moved to Toxteth Park, Liverpool sometime between 1861 and 1871.

Robert became a Master Mariner sailing all over the world.   He died 17.01.1873 at Bar, Falmouth whilst Master of Sea Queen, on which his son Robert, b1843 Sandford, was serving.    In 1971 this ship was registered in the name of Mrs Jane Goodyear.   Robert's youngest son Samuel Strong Jerrett, b1857 Sandford, was a partner in the Goodyear company and was based in Liverpool.

Robert's wife Sarah was buried in the Toxteth Park cemetery in Liverpool, at a later date, but there is no record of Robert's body having been taken there for burial.   The obvious assumption is that he was buried in Falmouth, but I have drawn a blank so far.

Can anyone help please

I'm trying to find information about John Dyke's parents and grandparents.

John b1865 Toxteth Park married May Harriet Harries in 1898.   He had brothers Frederick William Dyke b1867 Liverpool, Harry William Dyke b1870 Liverpool, Alexander Dyke b1872 W Derby, Rudolph Dyke b1878 W Derby.   Also a sister Minnie b1874 Liverpool.

They all appear on the 1881 census with mother Elizabeth age 44 born Liverpool.
I believe their father was a Master Marriner, which would explain his absence, and I think he was lost at sea in 1900.   His son Frederick also seems to have been a Master Marriner.

I have found a marriage of Harry William Dyke to Elizabeth Cosgrove on 21.02.1864 St Silas Liverpool which sounds hopeful.

Please can anyone help?

I am looking for the death/burial of John Johnson b1833 (christened 12.07.1833 Maids Morton, Bucks), parents John Johnson and Charlotte Ayers.   A brother John Ayres Johnson was born 1837 also in Maids Morton, so I am presuming that the first John had died.

Can anyone help please.

I'm trying to trace my g grandmother Elizabeth Deane.   She was born 11.08.1832 and was christened 23.09.1832 in Independent, Mortimer, Berks, the daughter of George Dean and Sarah.   She had siblings Barnard/Bernard b 21.11.1827 and Fanny b 14.02.1830, both christened in Independent, Mortimer.

On the 1841 census they appear staying with Henry and Daniel Love and (looks like) Harry and Mary Horton at Bloomfield Hatch, Sulhampstead, Berks.

On the 1851 census Fanny has disappeared (dead?) and Barnard and Elizabeth are living with Daniel Love at Snelsmore Farm House, Chieveley.   They are classed as niece and nephew.   Barnard is 'assistant' and Elizabeth 'housekeeper'.

I can't trace their parents and am wondering if Sarah has died.

Can anyone help please?

I am trying to find the birth date and the marriage date of George Hendry, who married Isabel Asher, so that I can find information on his parents.   I've tried IGI and Scotlads People. 

George and Isabel's son Thomas was born in Forres, Morayshire 12.04.1824 and was married to Isabel Fraser in Old Machar, Aberdeen 31.10.1846.   I know of no other siblings.   I have been unable to find Thomas and family on 1851, 1861 or 1871 census.

Please can anyone help?

Many thanks,

Joan
