Hi, I'm from the Eales side from Green's Norton and Towcester.

Far too  Williams, James's, John's etc who all went on to marry Mary's and Elizabeth's.  The fact that my grandfather was adopted out doesn't help.

I've done a DNA test and it is logged with Ancestry, My Heritage and Gedmatch if that helps anyone.

My connection goes Francis Hugo Pook < Owen Eales and Millicent Seal < George Eales and Sarah Howes < Stephen Eales and Mary Wright< Stephen Eales and Esther

Thanks for the extra leads.  Gives me some more to go on. Doesn't sound like Fanny was up for mother of the year.

Hi, I'm a new poster who is a bit stuck.  Anyone got a spare pair of eyes?
I'm looking for parents/siblings of my gt gt g/m Sarah Marskell who married Charles Thomas Gibson in New Zealand in1882 and lived here till their death.  The wedding cert says she was born in London 1861 to William Marskell and Fanny Howard.
I can't find a Fanny Howard married to William Marskell.
I can find Hannah/Hanah (aka Fanny) Pallett/Pellett  (2nd quarter of 1855 London Vol 1A Page 50) who married William Marskell. 

I can find Kensington, London baptism records for children of William and Fanny Marskell listed as Elizabeth (1856), Fanny (1857), William Samuel (1863) and Sarah(1861). Timing of the marriage and births of the kids seem right.  How would I find out if Fanny Pallet/Fanny Howard are the same person. Sarah and her female siblings were in and out of the workhouse a fair bit if that helps with process of elimination.

My first ever post on Roots Chat. Hopefully I'm not inadvertantly breaking any rules.

I'm also hunting down the Pook's.  Ted Pook was my great grandfather.  Your John Pook was from his second family. I have an old family tree, not complete and over 30 years old.

I have gone back as far as John Pook and Rebecca Spicer  in Dorset in 1786 but am really  stuck on them.....and a fair few blanks in between
