Forgot to say I will look on Ancestry.co.uk for anyone researching the Masters family.   So much turns up on that website, though some is a bit inaccurate.  Maddie

Hallo again,
Thanks for the information.  There is a stray birth in St Helier of a Ruby Elizabeth, dau of William Richard Killick, born 28 Aug 1881, and baptised 18 Sep; but I couldn't make any progress with him either.   William & Richards abound among the Killicks from the 15th century to the present day, but Samuel is definitely different and I hoped to track him quite easily - no such luck!   
Why would someone go to Jersey?   In the Army perhaps, or to farm, or even a smuggler or coastguard?   Apart from a few who wished to marry - e.g. a widower to marry his dead wife's sister, or first cousin which was frowned on in their parish.   I will look into the island's history around 1815 for clues. 
Having a nice mild sunny day here for a change.  Maddie

Thank you so much for responding to my request.
We have some "stray" Killicks in the Channel Islands, beginning with a Samuel who married Louisa Masters on 29 Oct 1839 in St Helier.  She was born 1819 in St Peter Port, Guernsey.  They had children, but by the 1851 census Louisa had remarried and I assume Samuel was dead.
The problem is really with the origins of Samuel Killick.  One researcher has a note that he was born in Hove, Sussex, but cannot remember where he got the information.   I can find no sign of S. in that county, nor anywhere really!   And why did he go to Jersey in the first place?
Anyway, I'll plod on.   Thanks again.    Madeline nee Killick, England

Scotland / Miller, shipbuilders, Fife, Renfrew, Clyde

Is anyone researching MILLER shipbuilders on the Clyde, with branch at St Monans Fife, and especially John MILLER coming to Ramsgate in Kent England when harbour wall being built in 1740s.  He worked as a stonemason on arrival, then became a builder of small boats alongside the harbour through 18th and 19th centuries.   Some of this family went to Chatham.  Old books say John was son of John senior, officer in a Scottish regiment, and connected with the ones on the Clyde.    The ones here in Kent have been well researched; it is the roots in Scotland now sought.

Hi,   Thanks for the offer.    The site has reams of "how to do" instructions, but too much to absorb and I  usually find it easier to click on things until I get what I want, and gradually get the hang of it all!  Maddie

Hi.   Killick was my maiden name.
Have you checked with The Killick Society, and/or the Guild of One Name Studies?   
The Goons have a lot of Killick research online, which includes loads of births, marriages, deaths, probates etc
The contact for the Killick Society is also on the Goons site.  It has been in existence for about 30 years and has loads of data.
The Killick roots were in Surrey around Nutfield and Blechingley, spreading over the county boundaries into north Sussex and west Kent.
Sure I have Tadworth etc in my files somewhere but can't find for the moment.  Will write again if and when I have found them.   There are a few very large branches of the family, and many small ones we have not fitted together.
(I am a newcomer to Rootschat and finding it a struggle to negotiate the site.  Hope I can find my way to your enquiry again!!)
