Also In uk foreign & overseas register theres a record of
Joseph.vincent military man and wife Ellen
BIrths of their 4 children
CAtherine 11 July 1865 & Charles roBert 17 july 1869 in Kingston
Maria Elizabeth 1 July 1870 and Helen 22 Aug 1872 in Malta
In 1881 Joseph is a pensioner wife and eldest children listed as borequested Canada
Ellen born Malta
No sign of Maria Elizabeth
And a younger brother age 6 born Cornwall
So a seafaring family could well have children born France and south America. .there are plenty of entries for Chili and Argentina. .
I wonder if you can see if any of the children Mary Vincent boarded were from naval or army families ... Daisy (Margaret)H was mentioned
& if this Vincent family is connected to yours ?
Father Joseph born in Cornwall. .think it says penzance
Wow, all that will keep me busy. Thank you for all your efforts.
Just shows you that children were born abroad and brought back here to England. When I first found the 1881, I found it difficult to imagine a family like them travelling abroad. Robert/George Vincent was only a Cabman.
However Robert/George Vincent's father was a seaman. His name was Benjamin Vincent b.1794. So there is a possibility of children coming from abroad. Benjamin Vincent had a brother called Joseph. But
if I have the correct family they all came from Suffolk, don't remember any mention of Cornwall. Vincent is a quite common Cornish surname.
Could you tell me what search facility did you use, Ancestry, Find my Past etc?
Thank you again.
