Berkshire Lookup Requests / Re: Please help: OAKLEY - West Ilsley & N. Moreton

Yes, I went to Wiltshire Archives and found Daniel Cheesmund's baptism at Ramsbury on 2 July 1710, the son of Stephen. There is absolutely no sign of Daniel after his baptism - nothing in marriages and nothing in burials - so perhaps we are right in surmising that he left Ramsbury and that he was, perhaps, the Daniel Cheeseman who turned up in West Ilsley by 1740.

Hi, thanks for this. Yes, I've been through the St Patrick’s, Soho baptisms as well, and, in case others are interested, have found the following.

26 Nov 1826   Julianna(?) Egan
12 Jul 1829   Henry Egan
1 Jan 1832   Dennis Egan
20 Jul 1834   John Egan
13 Jan 1835   Alfred Egan
26 Jun 1836   Daniel Egan
15 Aug 1836   Cecilia Egan
23 Apr 1837   William Egan
28 May 1837   Mary Egan
23 Jul 1837   John Egan
30 Jul 1837   Julia Egan
3 Dec 1837   Thomas Egan

(St Patrick’s Soho – Baptisms 1834-1838 Facs. of WDA SPS 1/5 pt 1. Latin, 1 copy A4).

The trouble is, my Egans were James & Mary.

I've checked St James’, Westminster baptisms 1835-7 and also the Poor Rate Collection Book for parish of St James, Westminster for 1836. And there are no Egan burial at St James’ between 1837-1840 (the dates between which James Egan must have died).

This is one of my big genealogical quandries, and I sometimes doubt I'll ever get past this block!

Thanks for your interest - it's prompted me to have a look at them again!

Dear Rich,

How wonderful to hear from someone else tracking this line! I was beginning to think I was utterly alone!  :)

I'm very happy to send you all the notes I have on the Debroders. I'm not sure I can contribute anything that you haven't already found, but you never know. My e-mail address is (*)  if you want to exchange material and I'm also on Genes Reunited if you want to view my tree by that means.

Kent Lookup Requests / Re: Emma Hamlyn

Thanks for these. Yes, I had them. I think I've got as much info about Emma as I'm going to get. I still don't know what happened to Ann, the sister mentioned here. My long-standing stumbling block is Emma's father, William. I know that he died aged 66 in the St Giles workhouse in 1843 (of a diseased bladder). But I don't know where he was born, because of course he only features on the 1841 census and is 'not born in county'. I'd love to know where he heralded from, but have no idea how to push back this blank wall.  :-\

Your Rachel Cheeseman (b.1757) is the daughter of Daniel (b. 1710) and Ann Cheesman (c.1715-96). I'm descended from one of her elder brothers - Richard Cheesman (b. W. Ilsley 1751). I haven't been able to find Daniel's birth or, indeed, his marriage to Ann. I'm currently working on the idea that our Daniel Cheeseman might be the Daniel Cheesmund born 2 July 1710 in Ramsbury, Wiltshire (just under 18 miles from W. Ilsley) and hope to visit Wiltshire Archives to follow this up. I know that Joseph Cheesemund/man - of the same Cheesmund family in Ramsbury -ended up in Beedon, Berkshire, so perhaps his brother Daniel moved to.

If this hyphothesis is correct (a big 'if' at present), then Daniel would be the son of Stephen Cheesmund (b.c.1678) and Frances Phillups (b.c.1678) of Ramsbury (m. 1696) and the grandson of Stephen Cheesmund (c1634) and Elizabeth Batt (c1640) who married in 1661.

Many thanks for this very helpful reply! Let's hope it proves to be the breakthrough I've been looking for!

Mayo / Egans who went to Westminster
« on: Sunday 18 January 09 21:29 GMT (UK)  »
I have James & Mary Egan in my tree who were living (and paying their taxes) in St James, Westminster, by the 1830s, where their children all seem to have been born. James (a builder) had died by 1840, and the only definite identification of his widow I have made in subsequent censuses has 'Ireland' down as her birthplace. I have two possible 'sightings' of her in the 1851 Westminster census, and both of these have 'Mayo' down as birthplace. Does anyone by any chance have a James Egan in Mayo who married a woman named Mary, who emigrated to London any time around 1820/30? (If they were following the Irish custom of naming their sons after paternal grandfather, etc., I think James Mayo would have been the son of a Frederick Mayo, or possibly a Martin.)

London and Middlesex / PLANCK / DEBRAUDER - Stepney, Spitalfields, Bethnal Green

Has anyone else come across these Huguenot families in their research? Other names marrying into this branch of my tree include Rushan, Venile and Fairfax. I am descended through an Isaac Planck (b. Bethnal Green 1754), the son of Stephen Planck and Ann Rushan (married Westminster 1752). Stephen Planck's parents were, I think, Stephen Planck b. Stepney 1705 and Anne Venile, who married in London in 1725. My Isaac Planck married Margaret Debrauder in Hackney in 1780. Margaret was christened at Christ Church, Spitalfields on 29 Feb 1756, the daughter of Jacob and Troy/Trawey Debrauder. Debrauder must have a connection with the French word for embroiderer. I believe Planck to be a northern French / Flemish name. Any suggestions for further progress on this line gratefully received! (I have access to the Proceedings of the Huguenot Society, where there are various references to Plancks, but none that I can prove a direct link with, as yet. I haven't as yet come across anyone else researching Debrauders.)

Suffolk / Re: HOWE / SPARK / GRIDLEY of Lavenham
« on: Thursday 20 March 08 10:47 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks for your reply. Well, there could well be connections between your Gridleys and Howes and my Gridleys and Howes, since Bradfield St Clare is only 6.5 miles north of Lavenham. (I find constant reference to the multimap website an invaluable geneaological tool!) I haven't at the moment got any of the particular ones you mention, but it may be only a matter of time. Best wishes, Emma
