Kilkenny / Re: Seeking Roach and/or Donkin families
« on: Monday 14 June 10 20:25 BST (UK) »
It seems that this is the same Henry Donkin that was found guilty of abandoning his wife and nine children - not sure what his magistrate father in law would have made of that!
Bridget Adelia, Eleanor Hindall (spelling from my Grandmother's birth cert but anything goes) and Samuel McDonald Fairley all apparently lived in Tararu Rd, Thames.
Eleanor & Samel's marriage cert lists Samuel as "Farley" so is difficult to search.
My Grandmother's birth certificate lists Samuels's occupation as "miner".
My Grandmother was Edith Donkin Mence (nee Fairley).
I believe that Edith knew the Roach family and worked for them for some time before her marriage to Jack Ronald Mence.
Hope this helps
