Europe / Wilhelm Deichmann of Braunschweig
« on: Friday 04 November 11 02:43 GMT (UK)  »
Wilhelm Deichmann was born about 1810 in Germany. He emigrated from Hamburg, Germany to New York, where I believe he married Amelia Verplanck.

In the 1860 US Census a William Dickmann is listed in Brooklyn, New York, born in Hamburg, with his wife Amelia listed as being born in Holstein, his son Conrad and daughter Augusta. He was a barber.  A year prior a William Deichmann was listed in a local directory in Brooklyn as living or operating at 289 S 1st as a hairdresser.  I just found in a New York passenger list a Wilhelm Deichmann 42 (1811) who arrived in New York 31 May 1853 on the Copernicus from Hamburg and he was a barber from Braunschweig. Any help on his origins would be greatly appreciated. God bless.

Oxfordshire / Elizabeth Hardyman Wed in Claydon
« on: Tuesday 18 October 11 19:21 BST (UK)  »
Elizabeth Hardyman married William Anderton of Burton Dassett in 1813 in Claydon, Oxfordshire. She had twelve children with her husband the first two of which where christened in Claydon, William and Thomas. Her remaining 10 children were christened in Middleton-Cheney. I have no solid information on Elizabeth except her surname from her marriage record except maybe that census records put her born around 1791. She died in 1863 in Newtown (Elmhurst), Queens, New York. Any help would be appreciated.

Sandy,
It would seem I need to brush up on my geography as I did last night when I found a William and Thomas born to William and Elizabeth in Claydon, Oxford around 5 miles away from Middleton-Cheney. I was not aware of William and Elizabeth were living in Overthorpe. Thank you! I found a William Anderton and Elizabeth Bray married in 1812 but that's all the way up in Lincolnshire, a far cry from the borders of Northampton and Oxford and no other marriages anywhere near the births of the two sons. In USA Census records William and Elizabeth's son William is found in Newtown, Queens with an Ann Anderton (b abt 1784) and there is a family in Lincoln including a William b 1791 and Ann b 1787, not terribly close to the marriage which took place in Lissington but still in the same county. I cannot confirm the connection thus far.

Any findings on a marriage of William and Elizabeth around 1814 on the borders of Northampton and Oxford would be appreciated. God bless.

Northamptonshire / Mary Anne "Annie" Anderton of Middleton-Cheney
« on: Friday 07 October 11 06:22 BST (UK)  »
Mary Anne "Annie" Anderton christened 18 Jan 1820 in Middleton-Cheney, Northamptonshire. Born to William and Elizabeth Anderton, Annie and family arrived in New York on 24 May 1841 and soon settled in Newtown, Queens, New York. Annie married George Edward Pewtner, Jr. born in Portsmouth, Hampshire and was first a husband to Jemima Morris. To her husband she bore George Edward III, William?, Matilda and Annie Elizabeth. George and Annie died in 1852.

Elizabeth bore to William 12 known children thus far: William, Thomas, Joseph, Charles, Mary Anne, David, Joseph, Barbara, Harriet, Matilda, Barbara and Elizabeth. Joseph to the youngest Elizabeth were christened in Middleton-Cheney.  Now to the unknowns, the eldest William and Thomas I have not found in christening records yet. They arrived together in New York in 1832, settling in the Flushing/Newtown area. Mr. William Anderton, born between 1784-1891 and Elizabeth born about 1891 in England. From where their roots go I have not uncovered. Any help would be appreciated. God bless.

Merjones,
Thomas Anderton immigrated in 1832 with his older brother William b 1814 and then somehow went back home and returned with, I believe, his brother David in 1839, who is listed as being from Northamptonshire. I think Mary Ann is Tillie P Anderton's mother because I finished sifting through the christening records on familysearch.org in Middleton-Cheney, Northamptonshire and "Annie", christened Mary Anne, and all of the family in the passenger list is found in the christening records, and David along with more siblings who lived in Newtown, Queens! Unfortunately can't find Thomas and his older brother William which could suggest that they were born elsewhere.

And... I found that George Pewtner, actually is George Edward Pewtner, Jr. who was born in Portsmouth, Hamptonshire, was married to Jemima Morris in 1833 and he immigrated with her to New York 11 Nov 1841 by way of Liverpool from Glamorgan, Wales. His daughter Elizabeth, born abt 1836 in Glamorgan, is found with him in Minersville, Pennsylvania. So somehow he must have lived near Newtown, Queens to meet Mary Anne "Annie." Jemima more than likely passed away between 1841 and 1844, which is around the time that his son George Edward III was born I believe in New York. Crazy huh? Sometime around 1845 the family moved to Minersville, Pennsylvania. George and Annie died in 1852 either in New York or Pennsylvania, a year after their daughter Annie Elizabeth was born, who married Joseph DeLong at the tender age of 15.

I am going to start a new topic in the England forum, but I am looking for Mr. William and Mrs. Elizabeth Anderton and extended family in Northamptonshire or elsewhere. Your help has been instrumental in getting things sorted. Thank you! Please let me know any more insights you have found. God bless.

Okay! Thank you! It would seem that Tillie P. Anderton was born in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania as Matilda Pewtner. Her father George Edward Pewtner born in Portsmouth, Hampshire to George Edward Pewtner Sr. and Esther Stone. He was married to Jemima Morris in Glamorgan, Wales  (don't know if she passed away or they divorced) and had one daughter with her according to the 1841 Wales census, Elizabeth born abt 1836, and she is with her father in Pennsylvania in 1850. The other family members I have not accounted for except George, born abt 1844. George Jr. is cited in "History of Northampton, Lehigh, Monroe, Carbon, and Schuylkill counties (1845)" as him being a native of Portsmouth, Eng. and living in Minersville.
  I am trying to find records that lead me back to England and where Matilda's mother was born and how she made it to Pennsylvania herself with her husband. Because her family came to New York by way of Liverpool without her I have not run into anything thus far. Once again, any help would be appreciated. God bless.

Tillie P. Anderton was born as Matilda Pewtner and was orphaned around 1852 as well as her sister Annie Elizabeth Pewtner and brother George Pewtner. Found the family here: http://www.archive.org/stream/delongsofnewyork00delo/delongsofnewyork00delo_djvu.txt Parents were George Pewtner and Annie Anderton. Matilda's maternal grandparents were William and Elizabeth Anderton and they became legal guardians of George and Annie's 3 children. Trying to find the family anywhere. Annie Elizabeth is well documented however Matilda and her brother George are not. It seems that Matilda and Annie Elizabeth were possibly born in Pennsylvania or New York according to census records. So maybe Matilda was in Pennsylvania and not New York in 1850? Thomas is Matilda's maternal uncle and took care of her for a time before she was married in 1869. Thomas came to New York by way of Liverpool in 1832 or 1839, before the Anderton family (except Annie) came to Newtown (Elmhurst) in 1841, William and Elizabeth along with their children Mary Ann, Joseph, Harriett, Matilda, Barbara and Elizabeth.  Any help would be appreciated. God bless.

United States of America / Tillie P Anderton Carpenter of Queens, NY
« on: Wednesday 28 September 11 20:58 BST (UK)  »
Looking for information on Tillie P. Anderton a.k.a. Matilda Carpenter, born abt 1848 in New York, wife of James Baylis Carpenter, Sr.. Her last whereabouts were in Jamaica, Queens, New York with her husband and infant son James B Carpenter Jr., born Jan 1870, in the 1870 US Census. She is buried in Prospect Cemetery in Jamaica, Queens. According to her gravestone she was 23 when she died on 19 Apr 1871, putting her age at 1848 which coincides with the 1870 census. I am unable to find her with any family in any prior census or record of any kind. There are Andertons in Newtown, Queens in 1850 but no Matilda and there are other families in New York but no Matilda still that I can find. Any help would be greatly appreciated. God bless.
