Title: London ancestors from St. Helena
Post by: chrispenz on Friday 30 December 05 11:51 GMT (UK)

My Gt-Gt Grandfather Samuel Turner was in the St. Helena regiment, which was disbanded in 1837 and left St. Helena, with his family on the 'Maitland' but I don't know where they landed, although some of the family ended up in London, anybody any ideas, can't find them in the 1861/51 census.

Thanks

Hi Chrispenz

Could you provide some information (birthyear/places) for Samuel and his family which might help locating them?

Regards
Biker

Hi Biker,

Thanks for your message.  The only thing that is certain is that Samuel was born in England, had a child with Elizabeth, called William who was born in St. Helena, I have tried all the usual, census, LDS, etc. but not having any joy!!!!!

Hi Chrispenz

That's a real needle in a haystack looking on the census without at least birthyears (or approximates) for any of them ....

I guess you've seen this ? http://website.lineone.net/~sthelena/index.htm

Good luck
