Hi there - Don't know if this is helpful or just introducing another complication, but I've been researching the name Buckney, and I know that in the 1851 census (Pembrokeshire), my g-g-g-grandparents George and Ann Buckney are living with their daughter Lettice (my g-g-grandmother, b. 1845), along with her 2 older half-brothers - John and Benjamin HOWELLS. For some reason I have only the birth date for Benjamin (1839, in Salford), but you can check the census. George's wife Ann (Howells?) was born in Pembrokeshire in 1805. Most likely not the same Ann or John Howells that you're looking for, but thought I'd mention it...

Hi Barry -

My user name is actually Muggins. Louisa Lishmund is a topic (someone esle I was looking up). As you can see from the previous posts, I have gotten quite a lot of info on the Lutleys already! All the censuses have been very helpful. If you have more info, please feel free to post it here, in reply!

Thanks.

I'm flabbergasted! You guys are amazing - super sleuths! You keep digging away and coming up with more pieces to the puzzle!
I had no idea there were so many people who love researching these things.
Thank you all so much (tazzie, trish, garstonite, CatOne, Wred, and Kbotts)! So let me see if I've followed this convoluted tale...

Louisa Lishmund (mother of my great grandmother Mabel) was born Louisa Santillo (her parents were Peter Santillo and Eliza Frederick), but Eliza was married before (and had a couple of children from that marriage), so Frederick was not her maiden name??
(So Kbotts - Frederick really was Mabel's younger brother!)

Thanks again - next time I'm in the UK I will buy you all a pint!

Hi kbotts-

Yes, after Mabel married John Buckney Horne (a paymaster in the navy), he was transferred to the Canadian navy and they sailed for Nova Scotia. Their first son John Edmund Horne (my grandfather) was born during the crossing. They had 5 more children over the years. Mabel and her husband eventually settled in Victoria, British Columbia, and that's where they lived out the remainder of their lives.

Hi Allen -

No, I've never heard of that name... All I know is that my great-grandfather Thomas Lutley was born in Plymouth and baptized in the parish of Bickleigh on Jan. 10, 1871, along with his brothers William and John and his sisters Mary, Fanny and Jane (apparently two younger brothers - Frederick and Frank were baptized at a later date). I had no idea they did 'batch baptisms' - seems a little odd....
Anyway, Thomas was in the British Army, Royal Engineers (Sapper #21977) when he moved to Nova Scotia. His parents were a William and Jane (nee?) Lutley, (apparently William was also a yeoman in the army). No other info....
Hmmm - Loughton Hall, Lutley, Shropshire, eh? Sounds impressive, but yes, I probably do come from the 'poor' Lutleys!
