Cheshire / Re: Fletchers Buildings, Chester

I just discovered my 2*great grandmother (Ann Phoenix) was the proprietor of a boarding-house at this address (listed in 1865 City Directory).
I realise necro-posting may be frowned upon, but I'd just like to add my thanks to stanmapstone for providing a location.

Somerset Lookup Requests / Re: Bedminster Baptisms BROOKS 1800

The baptism record (4 October 1801) for Elizabeth Bennet Brooks (my 3* Great Grandmother) is now at http://www.freereg.org.uk/cgi/SearchResults.pl?RecordType=Baptisms&RecordID=13156500&v=MTQyNzYxMzk3NjozNjU1MjkzNTg0OGZmZmIwMGVlNWQ0NWIwYjY2YTgxNWYyNzA5YjM5

seems like they change their search engine far too often :(

Many thanks. The Gresford site has names, dates, and cemetery indexes - perfect.

lol ... thanks, but I have enough "throwbacks" in my own family without trying to find any more  ;)

I haven't researched them as yet ... they weren't in the centre on my interests being 1st & removed cousins of the people I was researching. I realise how one mistake can spread like a virus through multiple trees [one of my ancestors has birth/death dates thru multiple online trees imported from a similarly named American woman]. I take trees as hints that need to be confirmed by records, so unless there's clear info from census/bmd/probate/etc I take unsourced trees with a pinch of salt.

That said, there is surely a rationale behind the establishment of Gresford, NSW and clues to that may help in establishing any connections.

Oh, and careless researchers ... I just love seeing possible relations disappear from my radar because the quoted sources "prove" they changed parents, and counties, between birth and first census :)

Denbighshire / Gresford, Denbighshire vs Gresford, New South Wales
« on: Tuesday 17 December 13 20:42 GMT (UK)  »
I have come across several persons in online family trees mid 19 C. that have birth as Gresford, Denbighshire and death as Gresford, NSW. Is this more likely a fault of inattentive name recognition software use, or was Gresford, NSW established/settled/colonised by mutliple families from Gresford, Denbighshire? If so, are there details to be found?

Quote from: Guy Etchells on Saturday 09 November 13 17:50 GMT (UK)
One interesting aspect of DNA for Europeans shows we have twice as much "Neandertal" DNA than we do "Homo Sapien" DNA.
.....

I think that should be twice as much Neanderthal DNA as the average homo sapiens sapiens does. I seriously doubt anyone believes Europeans are two thirds Neanderthal.

Denbighshire / Re: Chaloner family
« on: Tuesday 17 December 13 19:23 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks, I now have records of conviction in 1819 (David), although not the circumstances, and I have convictions (along with accomplice David Roberts), Justicia in Woolwich, Isabella to VDL Jul-Nov 1833, three convict musters, Tickets of Leave ('41 & '42) and pardons ('42 & '47). The Edward "Challnor" death in '61, Vic. is as close to finding anything that matches both Edward and the Police Gazette notice.

As far as the rest of their families - I have substantial info on their sister Christina Challenor Richardson's descendants, and both David's wife Jane Tiltson's ancestors, and their [only child] son James' descendants - which include me.

Missing info on Edward's wife and daughters [ignoring infant death of son] - all I have is unsourced names and dates ... ditto for Edward and David's parents.

My main interest in David is his history pre 1819 and post 1842 - the circumstances of his trial for Murder/manslaughter and if there was any sign of him in the Aust. colonies after his pardon.
