Family History Beginners Board / Re: Related to Mary Queen of Scotts?? :S
« on: Saturday 04 September 10 19:47 BST (UK)  »
ok starting since your last post Hackstaple i have been looking and...
 
I have found a church register where a Mary Finnear and George Finnear were married on the 30th of may 1809 in Leigh on Mendip. Where the George Finnear (who you mentioned)who married Eliza was born. 

So im thinking that would put them at the age where they could possibly be his parents. dont know what to do next?

i have gone to Free BMD. dont know if im just filling out the dates and stuff wrong but it couldnt find george finnear.

will keep looking and hopefully something will pop up :)

thanks for the info by the way :)

Well.. imost of the people on the list we had, were from the gloucester area i remember at least one was from Uley and there were a couple people from Nympsfield, also Cheltenham.

we have a list of a couple generations back and it doesnt say when Elizabeth Emma Finnear (she married John Bright) was born or where she was born, but it says when her daughter was born.

Her daughter was Naomi Alice Bright (married James Fredrick Henry Poulton). She was born on  9 Mar 1877
and died 10 Dec 1963.


I also know that her husband's sister Elizabeth Anne Poulton ( married Joseph Elliot). She was a parlour maid for the Stewart Fripp family of Bristol.

I tried to find some info on that but no luck. Probably just not looking in the right place :)

Hope this helps.. anything else that would be helpfull let me know and ill see what i know

 Im real glad for the help :D

haha. yah i highly doubt that its true. just cool if it was :P and i doubt i would be able to search back that far anyways.

i have to wait until the next time i go to my grandmothers house and she lives on a different island from me so it might be a month or so.

But in the mean time im looking into my grandfather's side of the family by looking at papers from some censuses that my mother found. I have gotten back as far as the early like 1800's maybe late 1700's (when they were born anyway), but i cant remember exactly when they were born. but they were from somewhere in england. Uley  or somewhere in that area i think.

 i did a surname post on here with my great great great great, etc... grandmother. Her name was Elizabeth Emma Bright ( Finnear was her surname)

I am just beginning to look into my family history and my mother says that my Great Grandfather used to say our family can be traced back to Mary Queen of Scots. Which would be AWESOME! :) If its true.

Now.. i have to talk to my grandmother and find out where any records would be or if she knows anything. then im going to try look back further than that if possible... if anyone has any tips of knows how or where i should start pleas let me know:)

My Great Grandfather was a Roberts but i know my grandmother has a book with a couple of generations going back written in it so wish me luck :)

Scotland / Re: Jacobite prisoners from 1745

hi:) my name is Kayleigh :) im from the bahamas :)

i think my name is actually a form of a Gaelic name.. not positive. if anyone know about that i would like to know :)

but recently my grandfather passed away and at the funeral i met family i didnt even know existed!
So that (and reading some good books about scotland.. cant wait to visit one of these days...) made me start thinking about my family.

i have always been interested in old things.. i collect old bottles and things like that..  and so..

 i was looking up my grandmother's maiden name and it is MacDonald.
my grandfather's name is Sands and my other grandmother's name is Roberts which my mom found out recently is suposed to be a viking descendant or something. so i dont know but im really intersted.

and i saw the list of jacobite names and was wondering if you could tell me the names of the mac donald men :) and any others you might think im related to :P

i would really apreciate any feedback :) thank you!
