Cornwall Lookup Requests / Re: Florence Brideswell help
« on: Sunday 17 July 11 15:56 BST (UK)  »
Hey.

I do not know that much about her at all - or her Husband John Wattley - who are my great grand parents.  I have their names from my Grand mothers B.Cert, and her place of Birth was Cornwall, and grew up in Hail and Drift. 

I have a feeling that Florences parents were part of the brideswell family who came back to the uk in mid 1850's from owning a plantation in St.Kitts in the West Indies.  I have not been able to find her or her family on any census or bmd index, so I am at a loss now!  I appreciate all help!!!

Cornwall Lookup Requests / Florence BRIDESWELL help
« on: Sunday 17 July 11 14:18 BST (UK)  »
Please could some one look on the 1881 census and see if they can find my Great grand Mother – Florence Brideswell, born 1879 in Cornwall – or so I believe.   Hail or Drift are the most likely places.  She later married a John Wattley (Watley) so if there are any members of that family – I would also love that info.

Many thanks for your help.  I would be most greatful as I have been hitting my head against a wall here for years!

They all seem to be inter-related and I am trying to build up an overall view of all the families in the village from 1700-1900, so if anyone has any information on the families, or people connected to these, I would be most grateful for any  information – also for any info relating to Almer at all.

London and Middlesex / Re: RICHARD GARRETT family from Southwark, London
« on: Saturday 16 July 11 11:47 BST (UK)  »
Hey Mangano,

They are great photo's indeed and I am trying to see if there is a physical resemblance between any one in the photos and myself:)  Not that I can see - maybe the chin my Wife informs me:)

I would love to see a copy of the letters, such a link to the past! 

I don't think the name Robert carried on down my line, but James and Thomas certainly did. 

I will do some digging into Elizabeth Maher and see what I can dig up, the older generation certainly believe that she was, or her parents came from Ireland, but with no factual evidence - only suspicion and speculation!

Hi All.

Zacharia Robert Garrett was my Great Grand Father on my dads side so I am very happy top have found this post.  It certainly helps fill in a few birth dates for the family. 

To my family, Zacharia was always known as Robert, and they were most baffled when I dug up his birth cert.

I am looking for information on his wife - Sarah Alice Brown, born 1872 - I have hit a brick wall with her so any info would be great.

I would also love to know more about the mother of Zacharia, Elizabeth Maher 1839-1887.  Was she born in the UK or Ireland as my Aunts seem to believe??  Any info would be amazing. . .
