Europe / Jesse ancestor - origin Brittany?
« on: Friday 14 June 19 16:57 BST (UK)  »
I have been going back to find the origins of my ancestors, who have the surname Jesse in Hampshire (Royal Navy men), before that in rural Dorset.

A couple of my Jesse ancestors were at Trafalgar, and on one of them his record in the National Archives for the Royal Navy says, to my surprise, born in France.  It would appear there are some names in Brittany: Jesse, Jessy.

Can anyone help guide me how to look into this further?
Many thanks.

joger, you are continuing to amaze me with all the great information you're giving, including the tree which makes it easier to visualise the generations.  I am now in the process of drawing up one for myself.
Kimcrum and I are now in contact, and I'm sure I speak for her in saying that we are so grateful for you continuing to take the time to help our searches.

Again, thank you very much!

best regards.

Many thanks, joger, you're a star - and up so early!

Information much appreciated. A lot to take in - have already got the maps out to see where the French family originated from. Now we have French and Swiss forebears, how exciting!

best regards.

Europe / Re: Marriage between French lady, Swiss man (Arigho / Lefevre)

Have just seen your replies to my post ( started a long time ago now) regarding the marriage of Louis Arigho and Estella Leontine Lefevre.  And your replies are so exciting, now not only have the correct spellings, but where and when they were married, etc!

Thank you so much for this and all your work and attention.
Will follow it up a.s.a.p.

best regards

Many thanks for all the interest in my search, and apologies for not replying earlier.  I visited the site a few days ago, but have since been ill and this is my first opportunity to get back to the board now that I am better!

Thanks to everyone who posted replies with fresh information on Estella, which is wonderful.  It will take me a while to ponder on, but it certainly fleshes out her life (and death) for us.

The answer mentioned by Aghadowey with the link, I think the lady posting there is a descendant of Louis' brother, John Arigho.  The same guy who took his brother to court!  I will see if I can get in touch with her, although her post is a bit in the past.  Very interesting website, though.

My husband was sent to Dublin at the start of WW2 by his parents to stay with his family in Portobello Road, Dublin, he remembers the properties there and being told he was an Arigho and Lefevre descendant, but knew nothing more about them.

Thanks to you guys we have been able to get some wonderful information about his family, for which we thank you.

I will continue to search for Estella's marriage to Louis.

Regards

Dublin / Searching for Estella Leontine Arigho
« on: Friday 04 January 19 15:07 GMT (UK)  »
Would appreciate assistance in finding the wife of an ancestor, she was married to a Louis Arigho (born in Switzerland).  She was born in France and her full name was Estella Leontine Lefebre.

I cannot find their marriage, but it could have been in France as Louis travelled from Switzerland via the Italian alps through France and ended up in Ireland.

They lived in Dublin. I have traced them as far as the 1911 Census, when they are both 67, with three of their children living with them. We have found Louis' death, but cannot find Estella's, or a grave for either of them. They were catholic, have searched the Irish church records but no luck.  I was wondering if there would have been an obituary for Louis or Estella/Stella/. Sometimes she was referred to as Ellen!

Louis was the brother of John Arigho, who we have found lots of information about. 

Any advice or information would be gratefully received.

Thank you.

Hello TubbsUSA

This manor house seems to be generating some more interest, which is great.
I am now in touch with the people in Cornwall I mentioned to VanessaT, and am awaiting further information from them before I can respond to you both.

My ancestors came from close by and I made the Trengoffe connection quite by chance, whilst visiting the area.

I hope their reply will be positive, so that I can send the photographs to you both.
I will let you know as soon as I get a response.

Regards.
