Australia / Re: Edward MENSFORTH, birth in tasmania or SA
« on: Sunday 08 November 15 22:00 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
thanks for the sequence on Edward Mensforth b 1845 Launceston Tasmania.

I'm wondering where I can find birth-baptism record for his sister Charlotte Cecilia
in about 1847.   Adelaide perhaps?

Is is plausible that Isabella Mavrios died in childbirth when Edward was born ?
Are there death-burial records to confirm this possibility?

This would explain why Charlotte's mother was Elizabeth.
Although the newspaper records on trove say Elizabeth was in Adealide in 1861
when Ann Mensforth committed suicide [murdered?]  it seems she too is still alive
in South Australia....? 

gradually the family is coming together in such a sad set of events

Hi
it's been a while --- and wondering whether you've located the place of birth and parents
for Martin Mensforth / Mentsforth in about 1730? 

On 11 Dec 1753, Martin Mensforth (b. ~1730) married at Wolsingham Durham
to Ann Suddick (b.16 July 1730 daughter of Ann Coalpits & Richard Suddick).

Traditional naming patterns of children suggest Martins parents were Agnes & Edward
where?  any clues most welcome

with thanks Laurel

Hi
I'm searching for the mother [Mary ....?] of Eliza Alden KNAPP.  Unable to find records of
the marriage of Mary ...? and Thomas Alden KNAPP son of Thomas Knapp & Hester Alden.

Here's a quick summary about Eliza Alden KNAPP born abt 1817 - check parish records to see if
she was baptised 3 Aug 1817 St Gregory's Church of England, Dawlish, Devon, England
the daughter of Mary ....[unknown] (abt 1781-1856) & Thomas Alden KNAPP (abt 1785-1865)

Elize emigrated 12 Sept 1839 with parents and siblings on the 'John' arr Port Adelaide 5 Feb 1840

Eliza Knapp was married 18 Oct 1843 in Adelaide to John Beer (1823-1900) son of Elizabeth Williams & John Beer

died-buried 16 April 1855 Adelaide South Australia

29 Sept 1856 at Trinity Church Adelaide John Beer (widower) married his sister-in-law
Mary Ann [Flaherty] Knapp 1813-1891, widow of Thomas James Knapp (1824-d. 28 Jan 1855)

PS
my distant link is through Mary Staples the mother of Emma Staples (1844-1876) who married
George Beer (1844-189x) son of Eliza Knapp & John Beer.
