I have a George Thomas Wingate (known as Thomas) who married Thomzin Devonshire 20th Feb 1801 Saint Mary's, Portsea, Hampshire, England.

Lieut G T Wingate was the Captain of HMS Biter, a 12 gun brig, (177 tons 24.4x6.9m) when she was run aground (wrecked) near Calais on 10 November 1805. He was captured by the French and spent some 8 years in the walled city of Verdun. Amongst his crew, who were also taken prisoner, were a Midshipman W. I. Devonshire and a Petty Officer (1st class) John Wingate.

Somehow his wife Thamzin (various spellings) joined him in Verdun and 4 of his 5 children were born there.

Not sure am going to help here as such but I am from Paisley and there certainly was a Wingate family (still is) who were quite well known in the town.

Going back to the 1970s they lived at the West end of Paisley .However where they lived was built post WW2 so they could easily have lived elsewhere in the town prior to that.

There is a marriage of a Daniel McColl to a Mary Wingate in 1895 (I can't find the Loban one!) which took place in the south end of the town - that's also where St Charles RC church is too. This marriage was at the Lylesland UP church. the bride's parents were William Wingate and Annie Neary. William was a Coal Miner - nearest pit would have been Johnstone (about 3 - 4 miles away). He is shown as deceased.

I can see a 1901 entry for Daniel and Mary living in Gt Hamilton St - also south side of Paisley but no William fraid.

Ann(ie) Neary died in Dundee 1929 (recorded as Nara) but def wife of William Wingate miner - looks as if she collapsed in the street as informant was a police man and cause is suggested as a cerebral hemhorrage.

Father James Nara and Mother Mary nee Burns.

Mary McColl(nee wingate) died aged 28 in 1904. Address Gt hamilton St, Paisley. And i forgot to say previously Danield McColl was a bricklayer.

Thanks Ann for your reply.

Yes Paisley is certainly close enough for any descendants/families to have moved to from Stirling.

As I'm in Australia, apart from paying somebody to research it, I have no other means of obtaining the information other than posting my need in an area where others searching for Wingate information may come across it.

The only other information I have come across is that the 4 children were christened in Stirling upon their release c.1814. I suppose if I had the actual church details and the parish I would have the area where they actually lived. FamilySearch reveals they were Born & Christened in Stirling but fails to give a church name. A family portrait reveals (written on the back) their Verdun birth. FamilySearch also reveals that he used the name Thomas on these same records.

His marriage reveals he was from Stirling and when freed he returned to Stirling. From this I can assume that he was born and raised in Stirling and has family there.

All I need is for some kind soul to research the parish records to reveal Parents and Siblings.
