Library and FHS Lookups / Re: lookup requested King's Chapel Gibraltar

« on: Friday 01 February 13 03:09 GMT (UK) »

Hello, John. No, I never got a response to this inquiry. I have been hoping some kind soul who is in Gibraltar would be able to go King's Chapel and look at the information for me.

Since you know the wedding dates of some of the young men, a very local newspaper might have carried an announcement.

If so, there may be other information a few days before/after the event.

I have found names of the bride and groom, their parents, "out-of-town guests", and lists of wedding presents for weddings that took place 1890-1910. These were in small town newspapers in the US: central New York state, and central Michigan. The people were not necessarily socially prominent, just small town folks.

The men may not be one family....perhaps the father/s and brothers of the bride and groom?

all the best,
Karen

Somerset / Mary WILLIAMS, born 1830, probably near Banwell

« on: Tuesday 12 October 10 01:58 BST (UK) »

Seeking information about Mary WILLIAMS, born ~1830, probably Somerset, and possibly near Banwell.

She is found at age 6, emigrating to US aboard the Ship Albion, which arrived in New York City in 21 May 1836. She is listed with James Horl/Hurl age 50, Sarah Horl/Hurl age 50, Thomas Horl/Hurl age 13, Mary Williams age 6, James Horl/Hurl age 25/26, tailor.

Because of her placement in this family grouping, I'm wondering if she is related to the Horl family.

Thomas Horl/Hurl is the son of James and Sarah. It is quite likely that the second James Horl/Hurl is also their son. James and Sarah emigrated from Banwell.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Kent Lookup Requests / parish for Canterbury barracks 1805-1810

« on: Monday 17 May 10 02:42 BST (UK) »

Hello.

I am searching for a marriage ~1805-1810 for a soldier stationed at Canterbury barracks. His unit was 2Batt, 9th Regiment of Foot.

What would be the logical parish/es for this marriage?

The dates are based on an Oct 1813 settlement request by his wife for herself and daughter b~1809-1810 (location unknown), and son b 1812 in Gibraltar. She requested settlement in her husband's parish of Banwell, Somerset.

The names are James Horl* and Sarah (last name unknown)
* known spelling variants: Harl, Harle, Horl, Horle, Hurl, Hurle

Many thanks for your help and guidance.

Somerset / Re: HORLE in Banwell

Thank you for the fast reply!

My current brick walls are:

1. lineage of James Horle who married Hester Rowley/Bowley.

2. Sarah? who married James1783

I have compiled most of my Banwell information from communication with the historians in Banwell, one of whom is a direct descendent of Joel Horle.

Since my direct line and most of the other siblings left England prior to 1841, there are no English census records for them.

I have tracked all of them in the US census, and some other records.

But these brick walls are huge

I included information about James1783 military service in hopes that others might have found records for non-officers in that unit.

I truly appreciate any suggestions!

Kindest regards, Karen
