I thought it may be Margaret but Mary was my first read for her name.    Robert is what I saw as well but autocorrect really mangled that.  Thanks!

Jo McKee.  The Quaker connection is actually really interesting me as my aunt's matches to a family that made me start focussing again on Robert Boggs did generate some matches to a name or variations that is also on my aunt's other side of the family which was Whalley.  My Whalley's were Quakers  from Yeadon in Yorkshire so far.

My 2nd great Grandmother Nympha Boag related a story to my grandfather's cousin of a Sea Captain who went down with his ship.  Unfortunately by the time he related this story to his son details were lost and we have no idea where or at what generation only that it was in the Boag/Boggs side which is important as Nympha 's maternal grandfather was a Master Mariner as well. 

Anyways we've eliminated two of the four lost at Sea Captains so far.  William Boggs who was working out of Manchester as we can find No connection to my group or a family that is genetically closely related to mine, Thomas Boggs who was either murdered or drowned in South America while looking for Pirate treasure ( YDna results eliminated him though we both share a history of a relation in some way to another Boag family  in Australia and a connection to Greenock.   The remaining two are your Robert Boggs and a John Boggs who died in 1809.  The only thing about John I can find is he was given a gift of pistols for transporting troops on a private vessel.

Nympha is descended from William Boggs and Isabella Nixon and all we really have on them is from oral history.  They married and baptised their children in Derry and that Isabella was descended from the Nixon's at Nixon Hall in Enniskillen.

All of their known children went to Ayrshire mostly to Maybole but within their records there there is at least one unknown son whose widow was Elizabeth Smith and BMD of their children suggest they were born earlier that the 1772 and 1776 in oral history.  At least one of their children was born in 1785. 

Anyways my Aunt had a DNaA match that clusters with my family and is close enough to be a descendant William and Isabella.  My shared matches with them returned a descendants  of Sally Boggs Bayliff married to James Dougherty who is connected to Tullydush in Fahan lower and most of her Nixon matches are connected to Castlewarren Tyrone whose ancestors may be the Andrew Nixon who married a Caldwell in Faughanvale.  I strongly suspect William was connected to families in around Faughanvale or in Tirkeereen at the moment.  Another shared match was to a Fulton Boggs family that researches connect to the family of John Fulton and Ann Boggs who went to Malin eventually.   My match was to a Robert Fulton and Ann Boggs and there is so far nothing that confirms Ann is related to the previous one.   Robert Fulton's mother was a Bradlee.
Anyways I am actively investigating connections to the names Fulton, Ellis, Dougherty and Swan and Anderson to Boggs family lineages and wonder if you have come across any of these in your family history or research. 

William and Isabella  known children were:

William and Isabella s known children were:

Margaret Boag ( Boggs)

1785–1859. Married to Robert Williamson

James Boag m.  To  Hannah Patterson

1789–1871


Andrew Boag m to Elizabeth Hendrie

1791–1868




William Boggs Boag Boags m. To Margaret Holigan

–1881

Aaron Boag ( my ancestor) He had two wives  Kathryn  Lang and Margaret Drysdale but my ancestor Thomas Boag was born out of wedlock to Martha McGowan between his marriages


There was at least one unknown son in the Scottish records his wife was Elizabeth Smith and by her age he would likely have been born in the 1780's.

There is also a Marriage record of a Liley Boggs and William Houston in 1820 in Maybole who may be another daughter.   

There may be other children.

Would love to know if anyone here connected to Robert knows of any known connections.

 

HI Cosmac,

Thanks for you interest.  I don't have a copy of their marriage certificate, but I have found  their marriage listed through the ukbmd and through family search.org ( though for some reason I  am having difficulty retrieving it today.  Through ancestry.com the reference on the ukbmd index for
Great Ouseburn  Yorkshire west riding  volume 9a pg 151. 

Through family search using the English and Wales marriage index I used to be able to find a search result that listed The marriage of George William Oldfield to Sarah Elizabeth Johnson in 1902 at St. Stephen's Acomb which listed George's father Ralph Oldfield.  The reciprocal announcement for Sarah did not list a parent.  The weddings of all of George's siblings had reciprocal listings which listed their father or their spouses father.  The fact that Sarah's father cannot be found in these listings makes me hesitant to order the certificate because I am afraid it is not listed. I don't really require the other information on the certificate at the moment.  I have other people in my tree who were born out of wedlock where the father is unknown but the mother's name was listed instead.  Does any one know under what circumstances a parents name would not be listed?

Thanks  bes

Hi

This is related to a discussion in this thread

I am trying to find more information about my ggm.  I was told that she died shortly before my grandparents wedding in sept 1938.   If any one has access to this microfiche could you check for a record for Sarah.   I am trying to find out or confirm her parent's names and place of birth and her date of death.

Basic information

Sarah Elizabeth Jo*ns*on* (Johnson variations)

b 1874-77 (most likely 76) 
England most likely in Northumberland (pax record)

Husband George W Oldfield
Children Ralph Oldfield, Doris Porritt
Last place of residence ( most likely King City, Woodbridge, Bolton)

Thanks
