Canada / Re: William Thomas Adams born 1859 Ontario.
« on: Yesterday at 22:46 »
Have you checked all census entries?  1891 for William shows birthplace as Ontario but see below re earlier entries

1861 also shows a daughter Eliza Jane b 1857.  Both children are shown as born Canada - America

Charles was an agricultural labourer in both 1851 & 1861.  1851 also shows 2 children b Cambridge

John W 21mths & Emily H 5mths

In 1871 the daughter born 1857 is shown as b Hanrishsville United States

What happened to the 2 children shown on the 1851 census?  If they died before 1861 their death dates will give an idea of a timescale for any travel to USA/Canada

What are William & Benjamin's occupations on the 1843 marriage cert?

Have you ruled out the 1841 Staffordshire entry  Piece 982 Book 9 Folio 35 Page 18

Aberdeenshire / Re: William Davidson

The entry is on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk & you can buy credits to download it.  Given the period involved - I doubt you you will get any additional info from it

There is no birth for Paulus on the website so nothing to confirm his mother was Violette

Was he the executor or a beneficiary? 

If he was a beneficiary - when was the will of the deceased written?

The Common Room / Death of Monica Leslie
« on: Yesterday at 16:10 »
Monica was a former moderator of Rootschat.  I recently found that she sadly died on 9.12.2024 aged 63yrs which came as quite a shock.  I can't find anything on RC about her death

I have passed my condolences to her husband & he has asked if I would let other RC members know

When did Patricia die?  If she is still alive her name should be removed.  Same with her husband who was born in 1941

The 1841 has a 6yr old Edmund Kyrke living in Toxteth

Ancestry show his birthplace as Denbighshire & parents as Richard Venables Kyrke & Jane Frances Horesman.  An Amelia Horseman is shown on the 1841 entry

The middle name may not have any actual biological relevance within the family history. 

I have 2 females in my paternal FH who were given surnames as middle names & research shows those names had no connection so were probably just good friends or neighbours of my Gt Grandparents.

My late brother was given the surname Gilchrist as a middle name which turned out to be the surname of our grandfathers sisters husband

From Heywoods reply - you will see Sarah was given her mothers maiden name as a second name
