Fife / Re: Surnames I am Researching in Fife
« on: Monday 21 April 14 06:41 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I am brand new here --  just arrived today via a friend and so I apologize in advance if I am addressing this message incorrectly.  I have a great many FIFE surnames I am researching, but as that side of the family is LDS, I pretty much know all the male sides and am striving to increase the distaff sides.  I noticed the following names detailed in the messages below, and I have a few of them in my mother's line:

Thomas CHRISTIE - born 1799, Dunfermline -- married Janet ANDERSON, Dunfermline
Robert SIM - born 1702, Stockmyers, Dunfermline, Fife -- married Janet KIRK, Dunfermline
John SIM - born 1727, Stockmyers, Dunfermline, Fife -- married Elizabeth STEVENSON, Dunfermline

and I do have a BEVERIDGE, but can't locate her on my Pedigree Chart at the moment -- sloppy printing! ☺

Happy if any of these complete or improve your lines and I look forward to hear from someone - anyone. 

P.S.  I have been to Dunfermline and it is a beautiful place!  My Great-Grandmother, Maggie Christie HOGGAN was born there 1865.

Cornwall / CHIVELLs in Cornwall
« on: Monday 21 April 14 05:02 BST (UK)  »
Hi Cathy, I entered a CHIVELL query in your D'Acre/Decker forum -- sorry, brand new here and NO idea how to navigate.  I think we may have a connection -- or at least you and my husband, Christopher.  His Grandmother was a CHIVELL and I have traced this side of the family back to 1861 Cornwall, St. Agnes Parrish.  His name was James Snell CHIVELL and he was born in 1847 to Margaret SNELL and unknown CHIVELL.  I'm sure his father's name is some place, but he wasn't listed on the 1861 census.  By  1881 England Census Margaret was detailed as a widow.  James came to the States around 1865 and, as he was probably a miner as those who went before him, he was a miner in Nevada County, CA too.  He married (1898) a Martha BONNEY in California and I'm trying to find her or her father in Cornwall, too.  I look forward to hearing from you and perhaps to connecting you to my husband's family.  Sincerely, Louise Navarrette Norgaar

Laois (Queens) / CHIVELL and MORRISSEY in your names List
« on: Monday 21 April 14 02:21 BST (UK)  »
Hi Cathy, I am brand new on this website and not sure if you are the person who has both CHIVELL and MORRISSEY's in the bottom line of the first message. ;D  My husband is the CHIVELL-MORRISSEY descendent and I am doing his family genealogy for him.  The earliest I have found his CHIVELLs is in Cornwall, England in the 1861 Census...they are:  Margaret SNELL CHIVELL.  Her son, James SNELL CHIVELL.  He is the grandfather to Christopher's (my husband) Grandmother, Alma CHIVELL born in Grass Valley, Nevada County, CA to William CHIVELL and Fannie Elizabeth GODFREY - family "originally" from Nova Scotia. In Nova Scotia, Charles GODFREY (1826) married a Mary Ann MORRISSEY -- and her father was born in Ireland, as was her mother, Hellen (sic) Surname as yet unknown.   As CHIVELL is not a very common name, do you think that there might be a connection betwixt yours and his/mine?  I look forward to receiving your reply and apologies if I have put this message in the wrong "surname" blog.  Louise Navarrette Norgaar
