Wicklow / Re: HILL Family Rathdrum Co Wicklow
« on: Monday 17 June 13 04:01 BST (UK)  »
Hi Shaznki -

Have you tried googling: John Hill Rathdrum Ireland or Hill Rathrdum Ireland?  That will provide some details on the descendants of John Hill and Elizabeth Wills.

I am the New Zealand great great grandson of c1798 Wicklow born James Carlton Hill and Sarah Phillips, great grandson of Frederick Eldon Winchelsea Hill and Frances Eliza Rooney and grandson of Matthew Thomas Davies and Emily Frances Hiil.  I believe James Carlton was the great grandson of John Hill and Elizabeth Wills.

Cheers

Sorry Clive but I have no idea where those letters might be.  Have you seen Alan Spence's notes on pp 50-51 of his book?  If not I could scan them for you - if so, let me know your email address.

Alan Spence might have some idea: his address is  21B/66 Avonleigh Road, Green Bay - 09 817 6899.

Cheers

Hi Clive -
John and Leah Embling are also my wife's gggrandparents - nee Joanne Longley and ggranddaughter of Martha and Fred Carter.  She has both books by your mother on the Embling family and I got a copy of Alan Spence's book, "A Carter Chronicle".  They are the source of my observations about Leah's parentage.  I have no letters as such.
Thanks for the photo - it is a treasure and different from those in the books.

I have not done much research on the Embling/Carter families since I included the 1911 UK census.

Cheers

Can anyone please advise me who were the parents of the Ann Longley who is referred to in the various posts?

I wish to determine if she was the daughter of William Longley and Elizabeth Horne (I believe that their children were: William, John, Susannah, Mary and Sarah) and granddaughter of William and Susan Longley (I believe that their children were: William, Mary, Elizabeth, Ann, Sarah and Catherine).

Thanks for any help that can be provided.

Yes I do have her marriage certificate but it gives no detail of actual age or birth place (only married by licence and of full age).  John and Leah Emblin (the name is spelt various ways) emigrated to New Zealand in May 1841 so no later census records.  Her death certificate states she was born in Wiltshire.

We believe, from letters to Leah in NZ from cousins in the Uk that she was the illegimate daughter of Martha, likewise her siblings Joseph and Mary Anne.  Martha married Thomas Bright in March 1831 at Ramsbury

Re 1841 I have had no luck with the Bright or Moody surnames, or even Leah as forename with birth in Berkshire or Wiltshire.

Cheers

I am seeking information on a Leah Bright who I believe was the daughter of Martha Bright.  Martha Bright was baptised at Ramsbury, Wilts, on 13 June 1802 and was the daughter of Thomas Bright and Mary Hopes who married on 2 July 1797 at Aldbourne.

Martha registered the baptisms at Ramsbury of Joseph on 31 Jan 1830 and Mary Anne on 8 Jan1831.

However I can find no baptismal or 1841 census record for Leah Bright who married John Embling at Holy trinity, Ardington, Berks, on 15 March 1842.  They married by licence with Laeh supposedly of full age - hoever it is believed she may have been born c1824-26.

Hi Janis -

Thanks for your efforts.  I know that transcriptions can sometimes be problematic e.g. census returns.   

An internet search of old (1820) maps of Wooler I found places called Weetwood Hall and West Weetwood which were quite close together, and near Wooller,  so I think I'll go with those names as being "correct".

Cheers

Alan

Hi Janis -

Could you confirm that James Crisp was native of Weetwood House (Hall?) and West Weetwood, rather than Westwood.

Thanks

Alan
