Title: Born out of wedlock (Bastard)
Post by: Walksfarman on Thursday 13 December 07 01:22 GMT (UK)
Hi all,  :)
Could some kind person help me find some one whom I now think was born out of wedlock (a bastard child) as I cannot find records of my 3ggf Joseph MENERE's birth place or parent/s, I have search the huegenots sights, dug through numerous census's, parish's and countrys to no avail.
Is there a search site to find bastards? (apart from my rellos place),
no seriously is there some one who is doing this type of research???
It seems to me there is no Menere's out there or they are not contacting me,
any way the search goes on, and on and on.
Regards,
Ozzyal.

Every one have a very merry christmas and a very happy and prosperous new year!!

Hello Ozzy

You don't mention an approx. date of birth for your Joseph but there is a Joseph MENEAR baptism on Pallot's Baptism Index, August 1799, Talland Cornwall, parents William & Edith.

Hello Hiraeth,
Thank you for your reply, but the Joseph MENERE I refer to was born around 1770 d 30/5/1847 Marylebone London, married Sarah PRICKETT 14/7/1809 in St Georges Hanover Sq Middlesex, Sarah was born abt 1779 in Chalfont St Peter Buckinghamshire  and died 9/5/1877 in Chalfont St Peter Buckinghamshire,
I have this information, what I am looking for is Joseph's birthplace and or his parents or siblings, which I have had no luck in finding.
regards,
Ozzyal

Hi folks.

It's a long shot that any of you will get this, but I have a record of Joseph Maniere marrying in France. The evidence suggests that he was born in France. I know he had a brother named Henry Meshack. Additional links in the screenshot attached.

I hope this helps.

From familysearch, Joseph Maniere's 1793 identity card details. This lists his occupation as sculptor. Sorry about the screenshots!
