London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: What happened to Sophia Susannah TUCKWELL nee NATT
« on: Monday 11 August 14 07:39 BST (UK)  »
I am Blanche Mary Philomena Allan nee Tuckwell's great grandson. I fell on this Rootschat subject and have some information of her generations and back to her dad Samuel who was Private Bandmaster to the King. "Mr Samuel Tuckwell, who was private bandmaster to H.M. George IV" Williamstown Chronicle (Vic. : 1856 - 1954) Saturday 23 July 1904.

Blanche's uncle Rev George Tuckwell was a priest at Redfern St Vincents de Paul and was priest in Pau, France. He converted from Anglican to Catholic. I have no siblings with Blanche.

Not sure of your relationship to Tuckwell? Sophia? India?

Hi Ding

Yes, I am an Australian living in Melbourne - hello to you sixth cousin or is that 3rd cousin removed three times! BTW - bhopw were you able to work out we were cousins? Maybe you saw Violet on the chart?

I hope to be able to add to this thread or the show the genealogy of my family to add to the 'confusion' although much of mine is straight forward - no cousins marrying cousins or choosing the second name of a friend who is also a cousin etc!

I don't know how to email you or use this rootschat off air to write to you but I wish to share anyway. I'd like to establish clear lines back to the beginning (no, not to Adam and Eve, that would be too easy when there are the Symons and Martyns to negotiate a path for me :))

Cheers
Keith

Hi

Wow, what can I say, a veritable treasure trove of info on Symons, Martyns, Turnavines, Johns,, Bonythons etc - and new to this thread, by way of introduction, my line of ancestry begins with my grandmother Violet Symons, dau of William Henry Simons-(Elizabeth Jane Smith), son of John Symons (whose wife was Ann Musson), son of Samuel Symons (marr to Harriet Cobbledick), son of Samuel whose wife was Gertrude Martyn born abt 29 Nov 1766.

My mother Venus had her middle name as Gertrude, no doubt given to her by her mother Violet.

This Martyn-Symons/etc tree is a very difficult one, with so many inter marriages. I am at the perplexed stage but very appreciative of the efforts of so many to present this material that seems to go back, although I cannot directly show my Symons back to Shaa etc as yet.

I would love to make contact or hear from you cousins, if this thread is still going, the latest of which appears top be September 2009.

Cheers
Cuz Keith
