A break through -CofI parish records - Bray, OldConnaught 1859

[Nidian]

Hello Everyone,
Can anyone help me with the date of her christening of Gertrude Annie Lane and what may have happened to her during her life. Her mother, Caroline is my great-grand aunt.
I understand that she lived at Palermo.
Thank You.

Hi,

We could be related as Caroline nee Hall is my great grand mother.  Gertrude Annie Lane was born 2 April 1859 in Ireland according to family folklore and the UK census. I can't find her baptism.  Gertrude was pupil teacher and went to New Zealand as a governess then joined the rest of the family when they migrated to Brisbane in the 1880s.  She joined the Queensland Education Dept but because she lacked formal qualifications she spent most of her teaching career in provisional schools in various small settlements in Queensland.  She never married. She died in Brisbane 20 Dec 1933.  She is buried in Toowong Cemetery, Brisbane. How else can I help? Gazania

There are some 1850/60 baptisms for the Lane surname on Co. Wicklow section of the pay-website of the Irish Family History Foundation (www.rootsireland.ie) - including :

  Gartrude Anne Lane 1859
  Thomas Lane, 1864
  Albertha Adelaide Lane, 1868    
  Juliana Lane, 1869
  Thomas Robert Lane, 1855

These all seem to be in the Church of Ireland parish of Bray.

RootsIreland only have baptisms for the parish at the moment.

Hi Shane,

Thank you so much for the information. I'll now get busy checking out your sites. Regards, Gazania

In the 1851 census, Caroline Hall was a servant in Dorset House, Litfield Place, Clifton, Bristol, where the head was Sophia Hely-Hutchinson.  Sophia was the daughter of Samuel Synge Hutchinson, bart.

Just to add that there was/is a prominent north county Dublin family of Hely-Hutchinsons with English connections.  There's a large archive of their family papers in the Fingal County Archive in Swords.  I don't know if it would be of any help here but thought it was worth mentioning.

Found an old photo album in a job lot at auction some years ago. sorting out attic found it again

no names but a newspaper cutting stuck in it. Googled edward allport and it turned you up.

"on the 6th inst, at Bunyan Chapel, Bedford, by the Rev John Brown, the Rev Edward Allport Wareham, of Belgaum, India, to Susannah Rick, daughter of Mr Thomas Carling, Bedford, no cards!"

Hi,

Your information is amazing.  EA Wareham & Susannah Rock Carling were married 6 Jul 1864 in the Bunyan Meeting House, Bedford. They are my ggrandparents.  Now I am curious about the origins of the album.  Before I can send you a private message for you to read, you will have to post two more messages here - thems the rules.

I am brimming over with questions, like any other place names? Are there many other photos?

As you can imagine I do look forward to hearing from you.  Thank you for taking the trouble to track me down.  Bye for now, Gazania

does it have to be three postings like this?
there are 50 photos, including one of Queen Victoria, there may be names on the back of them, but I am fearful of damaging the album
