Susan,

Excellent!

Glad I didn't mess up your thread.

[I'd just made a breakthrough yesterday, connecting all the elements of a record in my research diary dating from 1991, and just had to let off steam somehow!]


The VERE surname comes from the powerful Earls of Oxford.
[Traceable back to Hastings.]

The ESSEX name derives from Thomas CROMWELL, 1st Earl of Essex, who was Henry VIII's Chief Minister.

[He did OK guiding Henry along his path of the split from Rome, but then made the mistake of  hastily arranging the marriage with the "Flanders Mare".  His head was chopped off, then boiled and displayed ... ugh!]

The PRICE family were big cheeses, High Sheriffs of Down, originally at Farranfad before taking over Hollymount (apparently from the SAVAGEs).

[The SAVAGEs were even bigger cheeses, Norman knights who came over with De COURCY in the 12thC.]


Major-General Nicholas PRICE bought Saintfield in 1709 and developed its industry.

His son, also NP, was MP for Lisburn, as was his son Francis PRICE (issue of Mary SEYMOUR-CONWAY).  NP's daughter Anne married James STEVENSON, MP for Killyleagh.

etc.

I notice that the water flowing from the hills through Downpatrick is called The Quoile River in its lower reaches ....

N. Price Esq.was the Lord of the Manor at Saintfield in 1837. The seat of the Lord of the Manor ( the Price family) is situated in a beautiful demesne, about a mile north of the town.

They were a pretty impressive looking bunch of guys. Paintings of them hung in the family home on the estate and they all looked down on us whenever we went there to play bridge with some members of the Perceval-Price family. There's an article about 'Col. M.C. Perceval-Price B.A., DL, JP 1907 - 2002' in the magazine Saintfield Heritage, No. 6, 2002. (Saintfield Heritage Society)

Dear all

Apparently my Great Grandfather is buried in Downpatrick cemetery. His name was Anthony Alvez, or Antonio Alvez, depending on who I speak to.
Does anyone know how I can find out whether his grave is there? I live in England, so it is a bit tricky to get there until next summer.

He was an evacuee in the 1940s from Gibraltar.

Can anyone help? Does anyone know where I start looking?

Thanks folks

At the moment our family tree starts:

A. N. Other Quaile married A. N. Other Lonegan sister of Rev. Vere Essex Lonegran (1677-1755)

Edward Quaile , their elder son (died 1758) was a millowner at Magheraleggan and was agent for Price of Holymount. Edward married Elizabeth Johnson, sister of the Bishop of Cloyne.
Hello there, I'm a Quaile and can give you the family of Elizabeth Johnson. Sadly I've misplaced the family tree but it is full of Vere's and Cromwell's ( and thats just the girls). Best Wishes

 I have an Ann Quail who married William McIlheron 1 dec 1848 Saul and Ballee but they were Catholic and emigrated to Cumberland in England (after 1866 as all 8 children were born in Down) to find work so all these Quails sound too grand for them. I thought her father could have been James as that is the name of the second son. From her age on censuses she seems to have been born about 1832, claytonbradley
