Canada / Re: Henry Grattan ROBINSON, Trenton, Ontario
« on: Friday 14 March 25 01:07 GMT (UK)  »
Hi J.J.,
I don't think the 1902 marriage of Florence ROBINSON to Ernest Alfred KERSHAW is correct, unfortunately.  On the 1911 Eng Census it states she was born in Derbyshire - I have birth and baptism records for her in Lancashire, father is listed as Draper.  I haven't located her after the baptism of a brother in 1876, and then mentioned in letter in 1935.
Thanks anyway.  I'll get back on the research for this branch.

Hi Bruce,
I have now seen your post, I haven't been on this site for quite a while.  I'm interested in learning more about your connection to ROBINSON, WOODS and FORSTER connections.  Can you PM me, and we can go from there.
Thanks.

Worcestershire / CLEWER family, Worcestershire
« on: Tuesday 02 June 15 13:50 BST (UK)  »
I'm helping a friend get her research ready for a trip to England.  She will be staying in London, however, also plans to go to Worcestershire with hopes of finding more info about the CLEWER family.  They lived in Martley area - Richard CLEWER & Jane BRIDGER.
We have most of the Census (1841-1911) for most of the family. 
FamilySearch doesn't seem to have much about the CLEWERs beyond Richard and Jane (as mentioned above).  Should she be looking at Parish Register films?
 
- Can anyone tell me what good things can be found at "The Hive"?
- or, is there a better place to research for Martley, Worcestershire?
Any help/suggestions appreciated.
Snoons.

Armed Forces / Men who served on Mars (ship) in WW1
« on: Wednesday 20 August 14 15:26 BST (UK)  »
I'm trying to find out if a William REYNOLDS served on "Mars", possibly when it went to the Dandanelles (WW1). 
Also, where would I look for Scottish service records?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Would anyone know of an online list of Australian servicemen who were killed at the Tol Plantation massacre?

Armed Forces / Re: Napoleonic War - Elias TOOGOOD

 :)Thanks so much, big help those links.
I don't know about son Thomas dying in Port Fairy, about a dozen others with trees on Anc say he died in Kew...
Also the comment about him being born in Sicily, Wiltshire, that puzzled me a bit too.  If his father was an officer, his wife quite possibly could have been in Sicily....
Does any know if Army births were recorded for Napoleonic War / Sicily etc. ;D

Armed Forces / Napoleonic War - Elias TOOGOOD
« on: Monday 17 September 12 23:22 BST (UK)  »
Family story is that Elias TOOGOOD served in the Napoleonic War.  Son, Thomas, claimed to be born in Sicily!  The only references I have found regarding Elias' service in war are on Nat Archives, stating 27th Dragoons (Light) & 20th Dragoons (Light), discharged aged 42.  Kinmainham.
Does anyone know if the 27th or 20th Dragoons (Light) were in Sicily?
Any help appreciated.

The Common Room / Re: What does c/o C.P.R. Belfast mean?
« on: Friday 17 August 12 15:05 BST (UK)  »
Sorry, no big secret - groom's name is (according to a letter written by him to an Aust. cousin in 1935) Henry Grattan ROBINSON.  I've found a birth registration for him in Lancashire England, in the name of Martin Henry Grattan ROBINSON, mother's maiden name: WOOD.
I have found a marriage registration transcription for mother, Ann Jane WOODS to a William ROBINSON in Fermanagh Ireland, on marriage papers he states he is from Preston Lancashire and his father's name is William.
Also in Preston, Lancashire, 2 years later, a registration for a Florence Eugenia ROBINSON also with mother's maiden name WOOD.
In the letter in 1935 to Aust. cousin Henry mentions his sister Florence...
Ann Jane WOODS is a sister to my 3 great grandmother.  My 3 grt grandmother emigrated to Aust in 1856 after marrying in Dec 1855 in Fermanagh Ireland, and apart from her parent's names I hadn't known of any siblings....

Did CPR also own the Duchess of Athol?  I believe this is the ship the newlyweds travelled on to Ireland in 1934.
Oh, and on 1911 Canadian Census it states that Henry, groom, worked for the Railway...
