Monaghan / Re: James Rock m Martha Littlewood
« on: Sunday 06 September 15 10:55 BST (UK)  »
I really appreciate the info everybody is producing. Latest info has the marriage of James and Martha May 1851 in The United Church of England and Ireland parish church. James being 21yrs at the time. I passed through Castleblaney in 2009 and in the half Saturday I had, found the surname ROCKS quite prevalent in the Catholic graveyard. Somehow I don't think there is a relationship as there is a "story" which precludes this because of religious grounds. Maybe there could have been family split in a previous generation resulting in the adoption of ROCK as a surname.

Greetings from NZ,
I have a James Rock b1830  m Martha Littlewood b1832 , Castleblaney in my tree. James, as the tale goes,was supposedly a doctor who emigrated hurriedly to Australia in 1858. ( A price on his head?) Martha followed with 2 children Anne & William in 1864. They resided in the Malmsbury area where James ended his days in Winters Flat as a Railway employee, buried Castlemaine, 1893. There is some confusion over his father whether he was John or Thomas and maybe also have been a doctor. I was unaware of the other Rock families in Castleblaney and Geelong and would appreciate any further information.

Hi Grothenwell,
You are a treasure, this information was just what I needed to continue my search w.r.t. Thomas Henderson. Hopefully there are apprentice records for Aberdeen.
Many many thanks.

There is a booklet  'The Membership Roll of Frederick Street Congregational Chapel 1807 -1859. pub by ANESFHS.  I would greatly appreciate if somebody has access to it, if they could please do a lookup for a  Thomas HENDERSON and a Joan GLASS. Probably from about 1822 to 1835. They eventually married Silver St Chapel in London Oct 1837. Her father James GLASS was a Deacon at the Frederick St Chapel. The minister at the time was PENMAN.
Many many thanks,
GramH

Thankyou  all,
I eventually found a copy of M.I's for Foveran published by ANESFHS and what I hoped might be promising was not to be. However I do have another request. There is a booklet  'The Membership Roll of Frederick Street Congregational Chapel 1807 -1859. pub by ANESFHS.  I would greatly appreciate if somebody has access to it, if they could please lookup for a  Thomas HENDERSON and a Joan GLASS. Probably from about 1822 to 1835. They eventually married Silver St Chapel in London Oct 1837. Her father James GLASS was a Deacon at the Frederick St Chapel.
Many thanks, GramH

Thankyou Piglet,
I didn't know about the abdnet MI's site and that threw up 2 possibilities. I will see if I can access the ANEFHS booklets here in NZ for further info on the inscriptions.  A bud waiting to burst into leaf? (well it is spring here in NZ). I had already checked for a will etc.
Regards,

Hi from NZ,
Is there anybody on Rootschat with information about burials/deaths in and around Newburgh, Foveran. I have a Thomas HENDERSON chr Oct 1812 Newburgh with parents  John HENDERSON and Margt KING. I have been unable to find any other records pertaining to the parents apart from a reference in a book written by Thomas H where in 1842 his first wife (on her deathbed) speaks of his mother and her father (James Glass, Aberdeen) being still alive. I would be greatly interested in any information that puts another little leaf on my Tree.
Thanks, GramH
