Breconshire / Re: David Rees born about 1834 Llandovery
« on: Sunday 28 September 14 12:43 BST (UK)  »
Just wondering myself if you ever got to the bottom of this? I'm also trying to trace my GGG Grandfather William Rees (born either Llanidloes or Welshpool abt 1803). He too was a Shoemaker in Llanidloes and I'm wondering if your Edward Rees was perhaps his brother? I know that the shoemaking business did get passed down for quite some years as my mother remember the Rees shoe shop in Llanidloes when she visited as a small girl in the 1950's. Would love to know if you have got any further as I have hit a dead end!

Europe / Gauge Family - Francois Gauge b 1769
« on: Tuesday 22 July 14 06:06 BST (UK)  »
I am seeking further information on the birth, birthplace and parents of Francois Gauge born 1769 (potentially in Bearn, Berenx, France). Francois is believed to have escaped France during the revolution and settled in England (Oswestry, Shropshire) where he married Margaret Edwards (b 1771) and ran the Ball Hotel in Maesbury, Shropshire. His son, George Daniel Gauge continued to manage the pub after his fathers death in 1844. Any information on Francois's life in France would be appreciated!  :)

Fantastic - thanks so much to both of you candrjm & teddybear1843. I have some momentum again - so good to be able to access all this online as live in Australia.

Many thanks again :)

This is extremely helpful to me- thank you candrjm.  :)

The search sites you used to find this information - do you need to pay to access these records? I am only using ancestry.com and seem to face several dead ends.

Thanks again and hope this has helped others too.

It has been a while since anyone looked at the post however it has been so helpful for me in piecing together this part of my family tree given that Wright Thompson is my 3rd Great Grandfather.

I believe that they had the following children (no mention of Emily in my records but perhaps she was born in the UK prior to departure to Australia:

Thomas Herbert Thompson
B: 1833
Ann Thompson
B: 1835
George Thompson
B: 1837
Annie Thompson
B: 1839
Lucy Thompson (my great great grandmother)
B: 1841
Henry Thompson
B: 1843
Jane Thompson
B: 1845
Sarah Thompson
B: 1848


I may have more questions once I have gone through this properly. Would love to hear from you if you have more information.

Thank you for your help!
Kate
