Norfolk Lookup Requests / Re: STALLWORTHY 1891 request
« on: Wednesday 06 September 06 20:25 BST (UK)  »
Koromo:

"Caroline de la ROSA (parents: Jemima DARLING & Juan de la ROSA) and William BEDDOES..." Jemima is Mary Ann DARLING's sister and Mary Ann is George STALLWORTHY's second wife.

I was or have been researching BEDDOES and that is how I happened upon your STALLWORTHY journey.

I am fascinated with strange names and Cigarette BEDDOES born of Samoa is very unique for me. No, I'm of no relation but a descendant of a BEDDOES has contacted me and wants to know of Cigarette's whereabouts also.

Can you share any info re BEDDOES?

Regards,

Talofa/Hello Koromo:

Sorry - but, yes, I'd deleted the post when I'd realized this is a much better medium to communicate with you -  ;D.

Now the Samoan pronunciation for "Eunite":
Samoan = ooh-Nee-tee.

Now lets drop the "e" and it becomes "Unite" - pronunciation:
Samoan = ooh-Nee-tee.

Same word in English "unite" is:
English = yoo-Nayht.

Found two listings per familysearch.org for Eunite (no surname). One b.1861 and the other b.1883. If data is correct then that eliminates both. George STALLWORTHY b.1845.

Found listing for "Unite" per familysearch.org with marriage and a child. She is b.1820 and m.1840. Do you know if your "Eunite" ever married? Had any children which she may have cared for along with George? Do you know the age difference between "Eunite" and George?

It wasn't unheard of on the Islands for a ten-year old caring for a babe; it was quite natural in Polynesian cultures. Whereas in the South Pacific it was culturally a "natural setting". Here in America it is frowned upon and whereas we get the saying "babies watching babies".

It is possible that "Eunite" was born on one island and married on another island. Now if "Eunite" came from Savai'i, married, and her husband dwelled from Upolu that would explain nothing really. Did she marry on which island? Did they stay with her family or his family after getting married? But on which island did she predominantly stay?

Was "Eunite" already part of the STALLWORTHY/WILSON/DARLING Family? Was "Eunite" just a surrogate mother to George? Did she survive after the ten years of caring for George?

Just some thoughts to mull over and I will get back to you re Rebecca STALLWORTHY.

Are you bychance on any Denmark messageboards? Or maybe norweigian? Your name is unique. It looks Japanese or ???

Manuia/Regards,

Hello:

Rebecca Darling STALLWORTHY - is she George Burnet STALLWORTHY's half-sister?

Rebecca's parents: George STALLWORTHY & Mary Ann DARLING.
George's parents: George STALLWORTHY & Charlotte Burnett WILSON.

I've been following STALLWORTHY threads with RootsChat and Rootsweb Samoa board with great interest.

I'd like to make it an adventure to find "Eunite" of Faleali'i, Upolu, Samoa, George's ten-year Samoan nurse/nanny.

I think I can also help with Rebecca's whereabouts after 1881 census.

Manuia/Reagrds,

Am very interested in HUNKIN of Australia, New Zealand and Samoa. Would be great if you can share any/all data and information regarding lineage of Mathew HUNKIN of Mevagissey, CON m. 1789 Ann LELEAN.

I am descendant of John HUNKIN m. 1842 Jane KITTO.
