Hi
Anyone out there got either of these names in their tree, especially Limehouse, Shoreditch or Poplar areas.
Gunner

Yes I do!
My Great Grandads sister Violet Maud Susan Ginno married Ernest Tarleton in 1919 in Woolwich. Their son was Kenneth Tarleton born 1928 who died 1998. I think his sons are Alan & Brian. Violet died in 1988. Forget where they lived exactly, can check with my Nan though.
Any connection?

Hello Keiran
Thanks for reply.
I have not come across any of those names - yet. I have got mainly Thomas's and Williams and several with the middle names of Weldon and Digby. Totally confused at the moment, went mad and sent off for 5 certs, got them all back today and i have a birth cert Thomas Weldon 1854, father Richard Thomas, marriage Thomas Weldon 1882 father Richard Thomas, death cert Thomas Weldon 1847 aged 51 father at death Richard Thomas. The Tarletons themselves seem to have originated on my side from Ireland and somewhere along the way lost the 'e'
got all excited because i found on the net a marriage between a John Tarleton and a Miss Weldon c 1740 and thought that was where the strange middle name started,
only to find later a John Weldon Tarleton and a Miss Scott being the father of Robert Tarleton c1750. As you can probably imagine i am tying myself up in knotts with all these Tarletons. I have printed off everything i can find about them, will have a sort through and see if i can find anything of interest to you . What year do you actually go back to?
Names Maureen - not gunner (couldnt think of anything else, wouldnt accept my name - so i used the dogs, husband Arsenal fan)
bye

Hi Maureen
My Uncle had a dog called Highbury after Arsenal's football ground!
Well the Tarleton's aren't actually my line, they married into my family so the furthest back is the marriage of Ernest to Susan Ginno in 1919 at Woolwich. Their son was Ken registered in the Woolwich District of Kent.
Just phoned Nan and she said that her Auntie Vi & Unle Ern kept a sweet shop in Woolwich and later had a Chemist shop in Lewisham and lived in. Up to when she died they lived in Eltham, London.
You certainly have a puzzel to sort through don't you. Unfortunately Nan doesn't know any more on the Tarleton's, she didn't know where Uncle Ernie was from originally.
Hope you have some luck, best wishes

Just saw you second reply!
Yeah Newton Abbot, how funny :)

Small world!

Hello Again
When we first moved to Newton didnt know the area and bought a place on Milber, Mildmay Road, daughter went to Milber and got bullied so moved her to Woolborough,then we sold up and bought a bungalow in Applegarth Ave, if you stand on Bradley Barton and look forwards across
Ashburton Road there is a bungalow that was built in between the older ones, goes up to a point and was cream, got the steps next to it, we bought that, then moved later to Kingsteignton and stayed there 7 yrs, daughter went to Teign followed by Torquay College and then Rolle teacher training at Exmouth.(Part of Plymouth Uni) she used to do a lot of dancing, knew several people from different schools, trying to think of names ---
Carrie Wilbur who's Mum worked for LLoyds Bank, Lisa Kay (who ended up in Hollyoaks on TV) along with all her brothers and sisters, think they still live Bradley Barton, Jon Lee from S Club 7 who went to Coombshead (as did Lisa) If you was brought up in Newton i can say without doubt you probably know a lot of the same people. (She was born 1980)We moved back up here because i thought i wanted to, daughter followed, she hates it and so do we, still spends most week-ends down with friends at Teignmouth but my husband works Saturdays so havent been back since we moved - keep looking at houses on the net though.
Strange isnt it, as you say, small world.
I gave into the name of Gunner because we could hardly have a large Airedale called bubbles (for West Ham)
bye

Yeah I know where you mean, I'm in Mayfield Crescent, just looked out the window now and can see the houses from here! :D
My Auntie was a teacher at Milber Infants, I think that area has a reputation. She is Miss Curnow as the children would of known her.
I know the Kays!!! We lived in the same street till a couple years ago. I am the same age as Lisa's younger sister Vicky. They all did well for themselves. The family moved to East Ogwell, just behind Bradley Barton really. Yeah my brother was the same age as Jon Lee at school. Our friends went to Teign school, Simon, Robert & Samantha Ford and someone I worked with Teresa Brzozwski. Can't think of someone with the surname Wilbur at work at the moment. My brother Conrad was born 1981 and my sister Chantel 1984.
It is a nice area down here, wouldn't want to live anywhere else, we are so close to the moors, the sea and in between anywhere we would need to go so it's nice.
Cheers

Do you realize that you may be associated with a famous name. Banastre Tarleton 1754 - 1833. He was the most hated British officer in the American war of Independence, and commander of the British Legion, which means he was good, very good. Tarleton is not that common a name.
He originally came from Liverpool and I think his father was Lord Mayor. After the War he was in London, if not before. Might be worth bearing in mind when you get back to 18th Century.

Hi Gunner,
Received your PM and answered all safe and sound.
Anyone interested, do a Google search on Banastre Tarleton. There's a good CV on his life.

Hi Kieran
Been amusing myself having a look to see if i can find any links between our two families, not sure if you are interested in the following but seeing as i have written it all down thought i would send it anyway.
Everything is how i have found it spelt.
Birth (from 1837 and BMD)
ERNEST Augustus Alfred Tarlton (no e)
Easthampstead (District of) Berks June 1859 2C 381
1871 EDWARD Augustus Alfred TARLTON
aged 13 born Sandhurst Hampshire
a BOY living in the District Royal Military Asylum for children of soldiers of the regular Army, Chelsea
1891 census ERNEST Augustus TARLETON aged 33 boarder at Star Inn Wellington Street Woolwich (sleeping in stable) a clerk
ERNEST Augustus Arthur Tarleton
married Maria FULKES born c1861.
June 1892 Woolwich 1D 1840
1901 census
ERNEST A TARLETON 42 Government Clerk
Maria (nee Fulkes) 38
Ernest Charles ** 5
Leonard C 3
Ernest A born Easthampstead Berks
Maria " Woolwich
Ernest and Leonard born Plumstead
living at 9, Congo Road, Plumstead
** Ernest Charles Woolwich Dec 1895 1D 1212
1891 census
George FULKES 60 House Lord Accountant born Bucks
Harriet 57 " Eton
Henry Ashton 17 Kennington
MARIA** 30 London
Living Lyndhurst Place, Camberwell. London
dont know if that means House of Lords!!
So it looks like Edward decided to become Ernest i have searched all through 1837.com and there is no trace of an Ernest being born, with or without the e in Tarlton , also he must of liked the look of an e in the surname (my lot are the opposite, lost the e somewhere along the way.(This is probably down to not being able to spell properly or even in the transcription of the census)
This hasnt really proved anything because of Edward/Ernest being in what looks like a military school his parents are not listed on the census, only way to find out is by sending for his birth cert . So maybe we are long lost g.g.g. cousins - who knows!!!
maureen
Bye the way, dont know why, but if you click on your profile and try to write to your hotmail address it comes up with 'memeber cant be found'
-
me again, sorry, i have got my Berks and Bucks mixed up.
In the school it says born Sandhurst Hamps.
Another source says Sandhurst Berks
and Easthampstead is the District in Berks that Sandhurst came under.
So they all saying he was born in Berks apart from the Army that has put Sandhurst in Hamps. (Maybe it changed)

And if you are related to Jim Tarleton who used to work in Brimsdown, give him my regards.....he is/was a target rifle shooter (silly me, that's what I thought the 'gunner' stood for).

Hello

Maureen, Jim Tarleton used to shoot at Bisley and he was Personnel Manager for a Construction company at Brimsdown (Ponders End / Enfield) He would be about 50ish now..

My husband's grandmother was Eliza Ann Tarlton WATERS born 3 Algar Road, Bethnal Green in 1872 d/o George Frederick WATERS and Susan ANN SAYER. I haven't been able to find the TARLTON connection.

Sorry for the delay. Now got new computer and trying to find everything!!
How far back have you gone with your Rellies, i have managed to find quite a bit of info regarding your tree but nothing connects up with Tarlton yet. If you want what i have found, give me a shout.

Hi Maureen
I haven't got a lot on this side. Rumour was that there was a gipsy connection but I haven't found it. Eliza Ann Tarlton Waters was my husband's grandmother born in 1872 at 3 Algar Rd Bethnal Green, mother Susan Ann SAYER, father George Frederick WATERS, occ stoker. Peter's Dad knew very little about his mother's side of the family. He said that Eliza Ann had a sister Polly, but I guess that could have been Ann or Hannah, and another sister, name unknown who married a WOODHALL. It didn't give me a lot to go on. I've left this branch of his family to last as it was a lot easier to trace the COLMER line than it was WATERS or NEWTON. I've come to a halt on the COLMER side around the 1650's so its time for a change of direction! If you have any snippets of info I'd be grateful as it would inspire me to restart my researches into this branch.
Thanks

Hi ,
Just to let you know that George Fulkes 60 you you found on the 1891 census was employed in the Lords. I have his work record, from 1866 he was Assistant Accountant from 1879-1890 & Accountant from 1890-1902. He retired on 31 December. He was my Great great Grandfather Charles Fulkes brother.
The Maria Fulkes you mentioned ? I wonder if it is Charles & George Fulkes younger sister as in 1851 she was living in paddington with her Mother Maria both School mistresse's Maria died 1853 after that i do not know what happened to Maria. I do have the Fulkes tree back to 1042. if anyone needs any info or help I will willingly share what I have
Hope this helps
