Northumberland Completed Look up Requests / Re: Thomas REAY - mariner - b. abt 1811 Berwick Hill, Ponteland? COMPLETED
« on: Tuesday 24 December 19 04:26 GMT (UK)  »
Thomas Reay was the son of Edward Reay and Ann(a) Wear / Weir who were married at Hatburn, Northumberland on 7 December 1805.

Thomas Rae [sic] son of Edward Rae, husbandman of Berwick Hill, and Anna Weir was baptised at Thorneyford (Presbyterian), Kirkley, Northumberland on 16 February 1812 (born 20 January 1812).

Thomas' younger sister Hannah Reay married Andrew Reay the son of James Reay and Elizabeth Steel. Thomas is erroneously recorded in many tress as James' brother and the son of James Reay and Elizabeth Steel.

Royal Herbet Pearon's paternal grandmother Mary Chellew is a cousin to my great-great-grandmother. Mary married George Arthur Pearson while her sister Elizabeth Chellew married his brother Robert Albert Pearson.

I have a lot of information on Mary Chellew's ancestry if you are interested.

PS. The other posts are correct. Royal's parents were Ambrose George Pearson & Alice Eugenia Hammond.

Hi Mell,

David Davies was the son of my ancestors Edward Davies and Mary Greenhalgh. Although no baptism can be found for him his son Amos came to Australia and brough out his uncle Israel. Amos' uncle Enoch, my ancestor, was already in Australia having been contracted by the Australian Agricultural Company. I have quite a bit on this family I can share with you if you let me know your email address.

Regards,
Ryan Dudley

I am a direct descendant of Letitia Hill Fletcher's brother Simeon John Fletcher and have a large genealogy report for the family I can share. I am also in contact with the family of Arthur James Hill Griffiths here in Australia.

Best wishes

Essex Lookup Requests / Re: Bradwell near Sea lookup please

Hi Angela,

George Riley Dudley's family has been well documented as his son was the infamous Capt. Tom Riley Dudley (Google Dudley and Mignonette for details). I know some of Capt. Tom's family here in Australia.

I am a descendant of Michael Dudley who appears to have been born in Ealing, Middlesex in 1754 s.o Thomas and Eleanor Dudley and who settled in Mevagissey, Cornwall after a long career as a mariner. My family was linked to that of Capt. Tom's as he was imprisoned in Falmouth, Cornwall for a time and the only Dudley family who resided there were my people.

It is quite possible that William Dudley is connected to my Michael as the Shoreditch Dudleys are the only other family to have a child named Michael (William Michael Dudley b.1785).

Regards,
Ryan Dudley

Hi Sylvia,

Just a quick correction, Andrew Reay snr left Australia for England on the ship "Northumberland" in 1874. He returned to Australia with his wife Hannah on the "Orient" in December 1879.

It was his son Andrew Reay jnr, who along with his younger brothers, immigrated on the "Samuel Boddington" in 1876 and died in 1879.

The two eldest boys, Edward and James (my g.g.grandfather), arrived in 1866 on the ship "Ancilla".

Regards,
Ryan

Hi Sally,

I believe Mary Rich (nee Brewer) was the youngest daughter of William Brewer of Mevagissey and neice of my ancestor Jenifer Dudley (nee Brewer).

I would love to exchange Brewer research with you.

Somerset Lookup Requests / Re: 1851 Taunton Somerset Look Up please
« on: Thursday 14 April 05 23:33 BST (UK)  »


I am looking for details on my great…aunts third husband Philip Matthews Beard who was a schoolmaster at St. Peter Port, Guernsey in the mid to later half of the 19th century. Philip was born circa 1800 in Worcester, England and I found the following online which I think may apply:

SOMERSET ARCHIVE AND RECORDS SERVICE
SOMERSET RECORD OFFICE
Accession No: G/2426; G/2440
Group Code: DD/AY
150/1-7 1803-1849 Taunton
Three cottages containing five dwellings, two of which are called the Middle Houses, bounded on the south by St James Street and adjoining the churchyard of St James, part of the Manor of Taunton late Priory. The earliest deed is a declaration of trusts by John Rowswell of Taunton St James in favour of his wife Hannah from whom he was separated, 1803. She passed the property to her brother Matthew Hillyard Gannett in trust to pay her a weekly sum of 4/- and a similar sum of 3/- to Richard Gannett, another brother, 1809. In 1843 the property was purchased by Philip Matthew Beard of Taunton St James, schoolmaster, and in 1849 he executed a settlement to repay his wife the money she had lent him to do so. Between 1843 and 1849 he had "for the convenience of his school pulled down part of the messuages and erected a dwelling house".

I was hoping you may kindly check for me the 1851 census for Taunton to see if there is any mention of a Philip Beard?

I would greatly appreciate your assistance.

Ryan
