Hello Jean, MA and Cando,

Thanks a million for your kind efforts and time.  Your replies will be useful as I progress in finding out more about Grandpa  ;D 

I have received a PM from a very kind " Rootschatter" who looked up and sent me the actual information that I was looking for at this time.

Rootschatters are the GREATEST!!!!!   :) :) :)

Thanks again,
Fenetta

Hello everyone,

Have found an obituary index which says my grandfather died 1976.  Sydney Hearld

Question is how can I actually READ what the obituary says??   Is there any online site??

If not, is there any way that a Rootschatter might please look up that info anywhere?? 

Have name, age etc...

I would be so grateful for any info.

Thanks,
Fenetta

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your reply.  Of course WWII  ???  But by then several children/grandchildren were already married with their own families in different parishes.  Hopefully some of them may have artifacts of earlier Mardles?

Will have to study your latest reply as I am not familiar with some of the Mardles you mention.

I  have a lot of names so I will tell you who I have so we don't keep looking for the same things??  Hear are some names:

1.    The earliest record I have is  Richard and Fennetta Heardings's marriage cert,
       15/6/1851 Exeter.
       Richard's father is listed on the cert as
       Richard Mardles, weaver
       and Fennetta's  father is
       Henry Hearding, cordwainer.   I have not been successfull in finding anything further 
       on the fathers and so my search has stalled at 1830.     
       Do you have this info??

2.    Their children were Henry, Richard, Frank, Fred and Eliz Fennetta. 

The children all married and had children.  (Have some of these records)

Richard and Fennetta's son Richard W. (Franks brother) married an Alice Gregory in 1885.  They had at least 3 children, Ernest, Rosa  and Nini.

Ernest married an Annie Avery in 1915.

I don't know the Richard you have who married Ann Mills.  Are you saying he is a cousin of OUR Richard as the marriages are within a few years of each other??

What are indentures??  Only know vaguely about indentured servants.

Where is Colebrooke in relation to South Molton?  Have never been to Devon and live in Ireland so geography of that area is minimal.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your reply.
Got an email from Ancestry regarding Chris J.B....  wanting to make contact.
As I don't have a current subscription, I couldn't access the message.  Was that you??
Then yesterday I tried to send you a personal message on this site but it said your mail box was full???

WW1 changed our ancestors lives (and ours as a result) forever. 
John Sprigg's brother Vincent died early on in France, aged only 19, in 1914.  Then apparently John left for Australia leaving his wife Annie and daughter Patricia Fenetta behind.
They in turn left England and nobody here remembers any further contact with the Spriggs or Mardles families.

Patricia was an only child, but she went on to have nine (yes 9) children of her own.  Her husband died when the youngest child was only 2 months, leaving her to raise the children alone.

Sadly we only learned a few months ago that her father John Spriggs only died in 1986 never contacting Patricia or  his nine grandchildren NOR did they know anything about him.

Patricia was a terrific woman, but the sadness of spending her last 50 years without a living relative of her own other than the children was and is immeasurable, considering the fact that her own father was alive and well in Australia.  Not counting all the living relatives (aunts, uncles, cousins in the UK and elsewhere).   

So Blackboy Road was one of many casualties of WW1.  What a pity!!  All that history!! 

Looking forward to looking up Google Earth.  Richard Mardles and his son were stone masons.  Is there anything known about their work??

Thanks again and look forward to keeping in touch.

Hi CJ,

Then you must be related to my husband John!

Frank's only sister Elizabeth Fennetta Mardles married Walter Spriggs  in 1887.
Their son John Spriggs married Annie Maher, and soon after,  my husband' s mother Patricia Fennetta Spriggs was born in London in 1910.

We have been in contact recently with cousins on the Spriggs side, through descendants of Lillian Rose, only daughter of Walter and Elizabeth F. Spriggs.

How nice to have contact with someone on the Mardles side of the family.

Do you have any information on the family before Richard and Fennetta?
Are there any photographs of family members? 
The Spriggs family e-mailed a copy of an old photo of Walter and Elizabeth Fenetta which I can forward to you if you would like a copy.
Patricia (sadly died aged 90 in 2001) used to always say that the family had Spanish/French origins??
Have you any further info.

Look forward to hearing from you again,
Fenetta  (Mary & John Duffy)

Fenetta

      found new marriage cert in another country

      Does he give his status on this second marriage certificate as divorcee?


        Regards VALDA

Hi VALDA,

Just found the index (100% sure its him because middle names are so unusual)
I suppose I would be better off if I sent away to Australia for the actual cert.

Thanks again ROOTS CHAT people are SOOO helpfull.
