Lydarts Scavenger Hunt ... part the third ... everyone welcome to join in

Hi Deb.

Its so good that you are sticking with this !

It certainly seems that the Sturney's and Foyles are connected.



I did a ten minute search for those Fripps that I'm sure are connected somehow ... but when I found the link many months ago, I forgot to make a note of where I found it.   STUPID, stupid !!

I'm now into finding hymns and a short sermon for the nursing home tomorrow ... I'd forgotten it was me 'in charge' so to speak tomorrow !  (We take it in turns so sometimes I just attend but don't have to prepare anything in advance !)

I posted this yesterday when I was looking for george sturney , who was the grandson of Sarah.....

I can't find George Sturney in 1861 ...although, in 1871,  I have found  a George Sturney with wife Emma , 41 and children ... Mary 5 and Alice M  ...both born London. George is 33 (1838) , Blanford. they are living next to Thomas FOYLE and family
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Turns out that the Foyle Family next door is Thomas and Ann Foyle who had John Sturney with them in 1841 and Agnes Sturney with them in 1851.

1871:
east street
Thomas Foyle head mar 53 formerly a sawyer ..BLIND b Child Okeford
Ann wife 51 b Blandford St Mary
Mary Jane Travess/could be Travers niece 13, b Blandford

next door
George STURNEY head 33 lab b Blandford ...he fits with george the grandson ..altho' we don't know who his mum is!
Emma wife 41 b Blandford
Mary Ann 5 b LONDON
Alice M 3 .........."

[deb usa]

okay ...

George Sturmey 1868 Sep  ~  Cricklade  Wiltshire 
Emma Richens 1868 Sep  ~  Cricklade  Wiltshire


this one may be better as the girls were born in London

 George Sturmey 1868 Dec ~   Whitechapel  London, Middlesex
Emma Hicks 1868 Dec ~   Whitechapel 


births ...
Alice Mary Sturmey 1868 Jun  ~  Wandsworth  , London, Surrey
BUT ...there is also this one

Alice Maud Hicks 1867 , Dec ~   Islington, Middlesex 

what do you think ?

not sure who the children belong to ...could be Mr Hicks or our George

Um ... Deb ?   I'm totally lost now !

I thought Ann Sturney was the one who married Sam Trowbridge in 1843 ?  She died 1855, still m. to Sam ??


Where's Bramble ... I need this new stuff drawn out ...


... and I've sorted the hymns ... now, what to talk about ... family history would be a good one, but how to tie that in with Lent ... hmmm ... needs some thought !!  

Back soon (or later) ...

[deb usa]

ooo maybe she was Mary Ann Sturney = Thomas Foyle ...

will check ....

[deb usa]

here is Thomas Foyle and Ann's son's birth;

William Thomas Foyle 1838, Sep ~ Blandford  Dorset 

so they had to have been married circa 1837 .... Cannot find it ....nothing on IGI either .... I was assuming Ann was a Sturney as John was there in 1841 ... 

arrgghhhhh

I'm having a crack at drawing it up, but am at a loss how to express some of it! I'll see what I can do...
