Durham / Re: George Pease
« on: Tuesday 11 March 14 02:00 GMT (UK)  »
George, I happened to see your inquiry and thought I would take a look in Canada.  I found a 1861 Canadian Census[/u]George Pease,: Age 46; Born 1815; Birthplace: England; Marital Status: Married, Home in 1861: Location: Richmond, Canada East; Religion: Church of England. George is also listed as being a farmer in Canada East, Quebec.

Canadian Cencus 1851, he evidently participated in a Agricultural Study (same census) and there is a Mary Pease on the next line. Mary born in 1820, England (on what they called a census form). Would that be about right?  I did not see where Mary married name appeared, but am assuming she was the wife of George, as her name was on the next line, but no last name. I am betting that not having the last name on the wifes might suggest a "informal census" or used as information for the area's census.

As for Isabelle Barwick, I am wondering whether or not she may have been connected to my family.
My Barwicks include: William Barwick, father of John Ebenezer Barwick. William Sampson Barwick, John's brother, who was a land speculator and both William and John had a brick and a building business. I also beleve Thomas and Richard Barwick were also my relatives.

Something else caught my eye...under Border Crossings, there was a Isabella Barwick, Fanny Barwick brn. about 1879, and a Elizabeth Barwick, three years old, all sailing together...I believe Fanny and Isabelle were both born abt. 1879 in England and arrived in the US in 1893. The ship that left Liverpool was the S.S. Michigan, under the command of Master S. Walders.
 
One other thing about Isabella Barwick  Do you have records of your Isabelle Barwick marrying a  a Harry Barwick? Found records for that also.  Hope something clicks with you here.

Kent / Re: Barwicks, Isle of Thanet, Kent, England

   Thank you for your reply clarifying who John Ebenezer Barwick's father was. I must have been overtired when I submitted the query. John Ebenezer's son was Percy George Barwick and Percy's son was my father Vincent Arthur Barwick. I skipped Percy altogether when I wrote for information.

There is a interesting piece of information that was given to my brother and me on separate occasions and years apart regarding our Barwick family. According to my father, his family had spoken about how their Barwick ancestors (a father and son) had sailed from Scotland where they lived, to England and the ship they were on got in wreck near Goodwin Sands and how both were rescued, and then returned to Scotland and brought their family back to the Manchester (I believe I have that this correct) /Dover area.  I am hoping this rings a bell with some of the Barwicks whose families originally settled in that area.
Thank you again for your help!

Kent / Barwicks, Isle of Thanet, Kent, England

   I am doing research on my father's BARWICK side of the family. I have researched through to William Barwick, John Ebenezer Barwick and Vincent Arthur Barwick (my father).
    I am at a loss as to who Wiliam Barwick
s father is (William was married to Ann J. Hole Barwick). I thought it was James, but am not now sure. 
    I found a great site one time for parish records of the Isle of Thanet, Kent, England, but I no longer can find the site. Can you assist me in which site would provide those parish records. The parish is St. Peters. Also, if anyone is related to this family, please contact me.  I would like to find out if there are more relatives still living in England.

US Lookup Requests / Re: Martin Tierney - St Louis, Missouri - arrived late 1800's
« on: Tuesday 30 August 11 16:49 BST (UK)  »
I am also looking for  my great grandfather  Martin Tierney, b. Oct. 15, 1855 who was married to Elizabeth A. Doyle. I have several documents regarding them (marriage, death, births of children, locations of marriage, residences etc., but they still remain elusive in several ways.
Martin lists himself as being a resident of Boston on his Canadian marriage record in 1880; Elizabeth lists Prince Edward Island as her residence, but I have yet to nail down either set of parents in that region for certain after the wedding except for the birth of their children.  They immigrated to Thurston County, Washington State, USA and homesteaded and farmed the land. In any event, they have 5 children: (maybe someone will recognize similarities in familiar names here) Michael Charles, William Thomas, Cornelius, Margaret, and Florence. My Murphy relatives have pointed out that there was a sixth child...but no record has been found.
   I plan to put something on my Facebook page about this family and include what pictures and records  I have. Maybe someone will see the resemblance.  Christine K. Fox
