Cork / Cornelius, Conner, Rogers, Armstrong, Maitland
« on: Thursday 06 November 08 01:59 GMT (UK)  »
Henry Cornelius (1766-1826) married Catherine (Kate) Conner born c 1770 from Springfield Cork -abt 1791.  Believed to be the daughter of John Conner of Botes Moore near Cloyne. Henry also married a widow Rogers ( possibly maiden name ORR) in 1814.

Now I find in Walker's Hiberian Magazine a marriage listed for Catherine Conner and Capt. Maitland in 1804 on Page 383 and a Miss Conner marrying a Thomas Armstrong in 1800 on page 191- but I do not have the magazine to check the listings on those pages.

Does anyone have access to this magazine or can they throw any light on these marriages?  Henry Cornelius is my ancestor.

I have attached my Thomas Fry descendant report- Dorset based- Iwerne Courtney aka Shroton, Wimborne, and maybe a connection to Edmundsham.  I have hit a brick wall with Thomas Fry b circa 1790 and married to Elizabeth Warr of Tarrant Monkton.
Can anyone help me go back further?

My Eva Hannah Fry's parents were from Iwerne Courtney (Shroton) and I found a number of Fry' s listed in the Baptism records for this parish.
Her parents were John Thomas Fry (Baptized 1816) and Hannah ? from Sturminster Newton married c. 1847 and his parents were Thomas Fry married 1815 in Iwerne Courtney to Elizabeth Warr.
I haven't requested any copies of certificates as I am going there in April to do more research.

Somerset Lookup Requests / Re: 1851 Bath area for William Henry Wells
« on: Wednesday 31 August 05 04:26 BST (UK)  »
Thanks, Chris,

I have been checking BathBMD but not Wiltshire- good idea!  Maybe I can find his father's death somewhere as well. We really don't know anything about them which is a disadvantage- his wife's family (Fry) I lucked out on in the Iwerne Courtney chuch baptisms- but I knew they were married there!

Anyway- I will keep trying, thank you for your suggestions,

Somerset Lookup Requests / Re: 1851 Bath area for William Henry Wells
« on: Tuesday 30 August 05 04:11 BST (UK)  »
Thank you for looking this up.  I have the same info.  He could have been born 1851-1853- one date from the marriage records and the other from the 1891 census.  Both say he was born in Bath. His father was also William Henry Wells and we have no info on him either.  He was listed as a "pensionner"on his marriage record and possibly in the Somerset Light Infantry, wounded and pensionned out- I have not been able to find any army records to substantiate this.  Do you have access to any army records?

Hi Linna,

I see you got some good response.  I have had none!

My Fry's came from Iwerne Courtney aka Shroton. Moved to Corfe in 1848 and then to Wimborne. Probably not connected.

I am researching Eva Hannah Fry who married William Henry Wells in 1885 in Wimborne Minster.  They were my husband's great grand parents.  I would like to know more about her family.  She was born in 1867 ( approx).  I am waiting for the marriage certificate to find out her parentage.

Dorset / William Henry Wells-married Eva Hannah Fry-lived in Wimborne
« on: Thursday 04 August 05 04:45 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for some history on William Henry Wells.  He was born in Bath, Somerset around 1851-3 because in the 1891 census he was 38.   
The W.H. Wells I am looking for was married to Eva Hannah Fry in Wimborne Minster in 1885.  She was born 1866-7. We understood he was an orphan and would like info on his parentage but the marriage certificate showed his father,  as being alive.  The bridegrom was listed as a Pensioner, presumably from the Army.  He was in the Royal Artillery.  I cannot find any record of his birth in Bath around this time.
There are several more generations of William Henry Wells after this- we don't know how many there were before him.

We would also like info on Eva Hannah Fry/Wells. She was from a family in Sturminster Newton. Her mother was Hannah Fry ( nee ?) and her father John Thomas Fry from Shroton (Iwerne Courtney).
