FULKER family (and who was Sarah Makepeace)

[Suffolk Mawther]

Just finding time to catch up with my FULKER family interests.

My great grandfather William Cornelius Fulker left Reading for Hammersmith around 1880, he then married a local girl Eliza Sale and remained in that area all his life.  I have information on my direct line back to Thomas and Marie the parents of Samuel born in Sonning in 1654.

Would love to hear from anyone researching same family.

Especially if you know anything about Sarah Makepeace.

My dad is the youngest of his family, and the only one still around 
He will soon celebrate his 86th birthday.
His eldest brother gave me some notes on the family about 20 years ago -
he states quite clearly that my great-grandmother was Sarah Makepeace! 
But all my evidence points to Eliza Sale 
I have never found anything about Sarah except in my notes from Uncle Harry 

Cheerio,
SM ...

Are you still researching the Fulker's? I can't help with your request, but I've been investigating my family tree and I'm descended from William Fulker born 1778 In Swallowfield. Parents John Fulker and Mary Lyfard.

Ring any bells with you?

Many thanks.

Hello and Welcome to Rootschat 

I have a feeling we may have corresponded before ?

My branch of the family had left Swallowfield by the end of the 1600s.

One thing I have discovered with the Fulker family, they tend to stick to the same names for the boys of the family - so we have lots of William, John, Zacharius, Henry, - just good old names throughout!

I am in touch with Mike, Becki and Alan who all have connections to Swallowfield, Jane, Mandy who connect to Winkfield branch, Heather who has interests in Fulker in Warfield, several contacts who are connected to the branches in the Brighton area and Andrew, Russell, Natalie, Matt and myself who link to the same branch - I think Matt worked out that we are all fifth cousins 

Will have to check through some paperwork to find out who else can link in with your branch of the family.

Earlier this year, several of us exchanged photographs to see if there were any similarities or to see if we could help with identification of unknown 'Fulker' members in old unmarked photographs.

Happy to help anytime with Fulker research,

Pat ...

PS - my dad is now 88 years old 

PPS ..... and,   yes, I am still researching Fulker's - carrying on from the basics that Dad found at Somerset House and St Catherine's House in the 1950s.

Hi, I am trying to find details (grave) of my husbands grandmother (Lilian Edith Stevens) who was married to Albert Charles Fulker in 1928. See

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/information.pl?cite=HjnJshw%2FDAAi3RMjsscexA&scan=1

Since I'm not getting very far, I thought I'd try a different route, namely through her husband Albert (Charlie/Charley?) and came across this post. Since their marriage was registered in the Hartley Wintney district (somewhere in the Berkshire area) you family may have some knowledge. Do you think you can help me please?
Regards, Lesley Stevens.

Hello Lesley and welcome to Rootschat 

I am in touch with several Fulker researchers, some of us seem to link up with family in Reading St Mary around the mid 1850s.  I have the line back to the 1600s and although I know there were Fulkers in Hartley Witney, it's not my direct line.

I will contact all the 'cousins' and see if anyone can help you further.

By 1928 my branch were living in London.

Hello Lesley,

I have asked cousins in this country and in Canada and so far have not come up with anything of help to you.

I will be away from the PC for a few days, but will get back to you asap to see if we can find your elusive Fulker family

Hi Lesley,

I think you may have more success if you post your request on the Hampshire lookup
site as I think Hartley Wintney is in the north east of that county, just over the border
from Berks.

Thanks Alan.  Have taken your advice - fingers crossed.

Hello Tycki, back from holiday in Cornwall and have had replies from several cousins, sadly none of them can connect with your Fulker folks
