Buckinghamshire Lookup Requests / Re: George HARVEY / Edward LUNNON

Hi Maddie
No it doesn't hinder nor does it really help!  I think I might give up on trying to find out anything more about Edward Lunnon as he seems determined to remain a mystery!

Hi Maddie
Thank you for replying.  I am not sure where your info fits in but I do have a Joseph Lunnon born 1807 in Wooburn.  He is the son of John Lunnon and Agnes Gurney.  Is this of any help?
I don't think I am ever going to find anything out about Edward Lunnon other than what I have but I will keep trying.

Hi Martin,

The Edward Lunnon I am looking at was born at Henley Oxfordshire sometime between 1831 and 1835.  He wife's name was Mary Ann Maynard (I haven't been able to find the actual marriage yet) and they had 5 children.  Edward died at the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading in 1875.  I can only find him on the 1871 Census and not on the earlier ones but am still looking.  I think that the marriage of Edward Lumm that you mention in 1868 was to Rebecca Hobbs.  This would equate to the Edward you have in the 1851 Census as the marriage took place in Wooburn.  My Edward's surname may be spelt LONNON. 

Do you have any Lunnons in Berkshire, Oxfordshire or Buckinghamshire?

Remaining ever hopeful!!

Hi Martin, I am doing some research into the Lunnon family for a friend who is trying to find her birth father.  I, too, am looking at Edward Lunnon.  Are you still looking for this family?  Dette Glenday (Brisbane Qld Australia)

I am trying to eliminate this John Glenday from being a part of my husband's family.  That is why I am pursuing him.  William Oliver Hathaway Glenday is a part of the family and I don't know where he got his names from.  No mention of his parents other than his father's name of John on both of his marriage certificates.  As this all happened in India, the information provided in the official records is sketchy at times.  Mothers are not recorded unless on a baptism and sometimes on a death but never on a marriage. Naming patterns aren't helping either. There are no family photographs either.  All of Mark's family are dark skinned - a lot of the time they are mistaken for native Indians whereas they are actually part British, Maruitian and Portageuse.

Hi Annie,

My husband's line is as follows:
William Oliver Hathaway Glenday (born 1841?) married twice - second marriage produced son Bertram Oliver (b 1890 Calcutta) who is the father of Ralph Arnold (b 1918 Calcutta) who is the father of Beresford Arnold Ambrose (b 1941 Calcutta) who is the father of Mark (my husband) (b1968 in England)

William Oliver Hathaway Glenday gave his father's name as John on both of his marriages in Calcutta.  William worked as some sort of orderly at the hospital in Fort William which is above Calcutta.  He died in 1900 and his occupation was listed as apothecary.

Annie,

The second two children are the son and daughter of John P Glenday (son of the John Glenday I'm trying to research).  Mary was 5 years old when she died and William was 6 months.  Their mother was a women called Francina Lawrence who John P married in 1870.  Francina died in 1873 two months before her son.  John P died in 1882.

Hi Carole and Annie

John's children from his first marriage are as follows:
William (born 7 Nov 1843 in Madras) (this may be my husband's ancestor)
Jane (born 10 March 1845 in Madras) died 6 Oct 1846 Madras
Thomas (born 26 july 1846 in Madras) died 1 Aug 1846 Madras
John P(Patrick?) born 5 May 1848 Madras died 1 May 1882 (he married and had two children all of whom died between 1870 and 1876).

John's children from his second marriage are:
Anne born 5 Jan 1853 at Ferozapore Bengal
Alexander born 1854 in Wuzeerabad Bengal
Lucy born 8 Feb 1856 in Wuzeerabad Bengal died January Qtr 1942 in Sudbury (she was a teacher)
Jane born 1859 Newcastle Under Lyme died ?
John Charles born 26 Oct 1862 Newcastle Under Lyme died 1926
Edward Albert born 5 Dec 1864 Newcastle Under Lyme died 1956 Oxford (clerk in holy orders)
Henry born 2 June 1867 Newcastle Under Lyme died 1920 Richmond

Anne (John's second wife) died in 1911 in Thanet Kent.

I got John's birth from his Chelsea pension papers in 1862. On this he states that he was born in the Parish of Cooper in Fife and was attested for the 50th Regiment of Foot at Queens Square Middlesex on 11 March 1840 at the age of 19yrs 2/12 months.  His trade is listed as shoemaker.  He served 17 yrs and 9 months of his 21 yrs of service in India as part of the 50th then the 61st Regiment of Foot before being seconded to the Staffordshire Rifles as paymaster when he returned to England in 1860.  He lived the rest of his life in Newcastle Under Lime and died in Boxhill Sussex in 1893 (my mistake earlier about Surrey). 

I hope this makes sense.

TIA

Hi Carole,

I know all about the Indian marriage to Anne Ginn (nee Vincent).  He was previously married to a woman called Francina and had four children with her all in Madras.  I don't know anything about Francina or where they married - I just have the birth of four children (one of whom may be my husband's great-great-grandfather.

I did have a look at Scotland's People but his birth/baptism doesn't show up.  Nor a marriage before 1840.  John's regiment, the 50th Foot, was sent to Australia as an escort for convicts and they were returning to India when his ship, the Fergusson, ran aground on the Great Barrier Reef.  The passengers and crew were rescued by the other two ships with them (containing the rest of the regiment) and taken to India.  I don't have a muster list for this ship nor do I know when the Regiment was sent to Australia initially.

Do you know if I can view the contents of a National Archives UK series (WO 12) without going to London?

TIA
