STILL families

Thanks anyway Zelley,

But without middle names (or even with I suppose); "Alexander Still" stillcomes up with "Alexander still wanted to do family research" etc >:(

Still trying though ;),

Grothenwell

Follow-up, any further progress with the research with the STILL name.

Hi Zelley,

Thanks for asking, but nothing as yet.

Due to work commitments I haven't had much time to do much research on any of my family tree.

Hayes to Hays

Schmieg to Schmeig to Shmig to Shmiech

Kochersberger to Kochersperger to Guggisberg (and every combination in the middle)

Those are the most obvious and problematic for me.

With one family surname Cock, one of the priests or parish clerks wrote Cock, the other Cook.
Half the children were born to one name, half to the other.

It was only the unusual middle name that convinced me it was happening.

The family changed the name later to Cocks, so that can become Cox.

Sandie,

Do you have a John Commerell Colyer in your tree? 

He was born 1 May 1851 in Portsmouth, Hampshire but was later a police constable in London.  He and his wife & children are in St. George Hanover Square, London, in the 1901 census.

He married Sarah Fanny Jones in 1879 in Old Brompton, Kent. 

Children:

John William Richard Colyer, born 29 November 1879 in Gillingham, Kent
Caroline Elizabeth Ann Colyer, born 11 June 1882 in Pimlico, London
Florence Mabel Colyer, born 1 December 1884 in Pimlico, London
Bertha May Colyer, born 1893 in Pimlico, London

Regards,
Josephine

Alexander STILL 1742
« Reply #71 on: Sunday 20 December 09 17:23 GMT (UK) »
I have traced my ancestry back to Alexander STILL born around 1742 in Aberdeen, Scotland. He married Jean ANDERSON b-c1742.
Their son, William Alexander STILL b-1769, married Frances Jane SINCLAIRE. Their son, John STILL b-1788, married Margaret YOUNG. These were my Great-Great Grandparents who, along with their parents sailed to America in 1836 and later settled in Ontario, Canada.

I would love to have more information about the Alexander STILL(s) you have mentioned. Perhaps they are connected to my ancestors.

Regards
Gary Still
