Canada / Re: Rosewarne Family
« on: Friday 07 November 14 07:19 GMT (UK)  »
Hi 'Erato'
I've just had a quick look through the Rosewarnes on my family tree and can't see a link at the moment. My ancestor married a Rosewarne so I haven't really gone back with them. If anything appears I'll let you know :)

Do you have any connection to this family:

Devon 1871 RG10/2080/54/19
Olivia Rosewarne 32 married miner's wife Illogan Cornwall
Henry 17 Illogan
Jane 8 Illogan
John 4 Buck Fast leigh Devon
William 8 months Ashburton Devon


1881 RG11/5196/96/28
Thomas Rosswarren 41 married Cranborne Cornwall
John 14 Buckfastleigh Devon
William 10 Ashburton Devon
Albert E 8 Eskdale Cumberland
Olivia 6 Irton Cumberland

My connection is to John [Vincent] Rosewarne who emigrated to the United States [allegedly around 1882], married  Minnie Ethelda Logan in Wisconsin in 1892, had numerous children, and settled eventually in Seattle, Washington.  He was a Methodist minister and also seems to have had some marital strife.  He died in Los Angeles in 1944.

Hi Dave :)
Yes, I am the Anne that your wife Wendy has met on Ancestry...........'tis a small world ;)
My Great Grandfather was Thomas Henry Stevens (b.1880) who was the brother of Ada Mary and your Grandfather George.
How lucky are you to have such wonderful treasures and memories to pass on! :)
My Grandmother Carrie was one of thirteen children born to Thomas and his wife Eveline Jane Rogers.
It was only when I started my research that I discovered all these long lost relatives as I honestly thought my Grandmother was an only child as I had never heard mention of or met any of them! :(
I've been busy of late so 'family treeing' has had to take a little break but any wonderful gems that you think I'd like to see would be wonderful.
Please say "Hi" to Wendy for me and tell her that I did check out Vancouver Island and Butchart Gardens and they are absolutely stunning.
Keep in touch, Anne :)

« on: Wednesday 14 March 12 16:13 GMT (UK)  »
Does anyone have any connections with this family?

I'm trying to trace the parents of John Jilbart (abt 1780's-abt 1840) who was born in St Hilary. He married Catherine Allen in St Hilary in 1805. Their daughter Catherine is my Gt, Gt, Gt Grandmother. She married Peter James on 3/3/1834 in St Hilary.
On Ancestry and other sites I'm getting conflicting names for his parents! :-(
1.   Jacob John Gilbert & Elizabeth Boaden
2.   Jacob John Gilbert & Elizabeth Stevens m 25/7/1772 St Hilary
3.   Thomas Gilbert & Elizabeth Befill
4.   Thomas Gilbert & Elizabeth Bevil

I'd love any help that anyone can give as I'm well and truely stuck...............thanking you in advance!!  :-)

Gloucestershire / Hammonds family - Bristol
« on: Thursday 02 February 12 15:20 GMT (UK)  »
I'm wondering if anyone has any of the Hammonds family in their tree. Alfred J hammonds was my Great, Great Grandfather and was born in 1832. His father was James b.1808. From my research they seem to have been a large Bristol family and worked in the Accountancy, Commercial clerk and Pawn broker businesses.

Thank you all SO much for the replies - that's wonderful!! :-)   
Could I be really cheeky and add another son of Ada's who I've found on our 1911 Census (he was visiting relatives so was not on the immediate family census). His name is William Henry Rosewarne b.1909 St Erth (I think!). I do know that he was already living with his uncle Thornley by the time Ada and children emigrated in 1926.

On the emigration info it states that Ada was a widow but I'm not convinced. There seems to be no trace of a death for her husband John Joseph between the 1911 Census and 1926 but there is one for Joseph John Rosewarne in Birmingham in 1943 - aged 55 which fits!!
Perhaps there was a bit of marital strife!! :-)

Susan, thanks so much for the offer :-)   Any info would be greatly received and I'm not in a rush so whenever suits you...............thank you!!

Canada / Rosewarne Family
« on: Sunday 29 May 11 14:56 BST (UK)  »
Hi all
Does anyone have any connection with this family. They migrated to Canada arriving in Montreal in 1926. We have Ada Mary Rosewarne b.1887 St Erth, Cornwall and her children Avenel Olive Rosewarne b.1910 and Joseph John Rosewarne b.1911 d.1969. I'd love to know what became of them. All I know is that they went to stay with Thornley Stevens (Ada Mary's brother). Ada is my Great, Great Aunt.

Hello :-)

I'm new to this site and wondered if anyone had links to Alfred James Hammonds b.1832 in Bristol or his father James Hammond b.1808 in Bristol. They are ancestors' on my fathers side.
