The Common Room / Re: Brick wall - a real long shot

Hi Richard, It must be around the same time frame that we visited Joan and saw Rosalind and John, such a shame to drift apart.  I have some pictures of Septimus unfortunately not as close up as I would have liked but some of the house in Chelsea I presume at 58 College Street as in the 1871 census I also have the original Marriage certificate of Septimus and Sophia where both fathers are described as gentlemen. 
Regards Margaret

Hi Richard,
Are you still in contact with Joan's two children.  I lost contact with them and as we spent some time with them when we were all children and it would be good to know how they are and how their lives have been.
Although we used to hear of you we never did get to meet.  I think this is a really interesting family history that we have. and I suppose that we are lucky to have as much information as we have but I would still like to get beyond the brick wall of George !! Regards Margaret

Hello Richard, Good to meet another cousin!  Henry's daughter Marjorie was my Mother. Her sister Beatrice passed away very recently.  Was Henry's brother John also known as Jack? or was there a John and a Jack? We kept in touch with Great Uncle Jack's family who lived in Ipswich Jack had two Daughters I remember Joan and I believe the other was Hettie.

I have to agree that Franklin Pierce and Samuel are very alike so maybe there was something in the rumour that they were cousins I can't imagine how many times removed

Hi Anna, Google James Parker Pierce and you will find it in an e book (headed read the e book)  you will have to scroll down but it talks of Freettons which I believe is in your line. It is in alphabelical order under Pierce of Feettons and mentions James and his children also George and Betsy and mentions Landed Gentry!! Regards Margaret

Hi Anna, George and Betsy have a Headstone in Kensal Green Cemetery along with Samuel Oliver and one of Samuel's children Thomas who was buried at sea. Samuel talks about loosing a son in his journal whilst he was touring America so I presume that this was him.  After the partnership between James and Samuel was dissolved Samuel went on to become a Coach Master.  If you google Samuel  there is a picture of him and also his house in Twickenham Ryde Lodge (just over the Richmond Bridge) It is still in use but I don't know what for. I find this a fascinating journey and apart from a piece in an e book from Burke's which states that George was originally from Chepstow Monmouthshire I am unable to go further back Regards Margaret
