Kent / Re: George Horatio Weeks 1844 -1903 and family
« on: Sunday 08 December 24 20:58 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all
I've just come across this thread via Googling James Rule, shipwright, having received Ancestry hints showing that Elizabeth Goodman, sister of my 4x gt grandfather Edward Goodman, married James at Frindsbury, Kent, in 1811 (thanks due to Lesley Williams for posting up the marriage details to Ancestry).
Thanks, all, for the information in this thread!
Edward Goodman was a mariner who moved from Kent to here in Suffolk, working on barges operating out Pin Mill. If any queries, please let me know.
Thanks,
Shane

As I understand it, the militia only operated at home, so James McLean may have been a militia man, but he would have had to join a regiment/unit in the regular army to have fought at Waterloo. any military experts out there by all means correct me on that ;D

Hi Patti

I've now finally got a copy of the Hawkes article, as attached, which i've converted to txt then pdf format from the photos I took of the pages, to reduce the file size. It's a very interesting article, but there's no mention of Macklins/McLeans, so more work is needed to track down a source for the Waterloo reference.

Essex Lookup Requests / Re: Robert Green
« on: Monday 12 August 24 13:03 BST (UK)  »
Hi - I've just checked the 1844 marriage of Robert Green and Sarah Watkins and note that the register shows his father as Robert Green, miller, and not Robert Wilkinson Green. The father is also not shown as deceased, whereas Robert Wilkinson Green was dead by 1827, when his wife Jemima made her will (proved at the Prerogative Court of Canterbury), in which she describes herself as a widow. This is all available via Ancestry. Robert Wilkinson Green and Jemima (formerly Everitt/Everett, nee Ladbroke/Ladbrook) are my 5x great-grandparents on that line. Regards, Shane

Oops, just seen that you gave the reference!

Oh wow, Patti! I've not come across that before. Does the footnote 26 it mentions give a source for that? An old soldier near where I live once suggested I write a book on Suffolk men who served at Waterloo (as I was writing one about the soldiers on the local war memorial), but it looked too much of a big project to me. Thanks, Shane

Nottinghamshire / Re: smith/booth gypsies nottingham

Hi all, Kazi particularly as regards Tobias Smith

I'm just joining this thread after recent posts re McLean/McClan/Macklin/Maclean gypsies in and around Bedfordshire, who married into the Smiths. In particular, Charles Macklin married Sarah/Silence Smith at Cambridge in 1777.

The RTFHS have a reference to 'Charles Macklane' as a witness to the marriage of William Smith and Jemima Gray
 at Yelling, Hunts, in 1802, both gypsies.

There's a suggestion that Samuel Macklin, son of Charles and Silence, was a cousin of Tobias Smith - perhaps Silence was a sister of Tobias's father James, therefore?

Hi Patti

One of my Cooks in Ipswich - Charles Cook (who married the strangely-named Humiliation Lion) was an iron founder, in case that helps in deciphering.
