Now it looks like FJC could have been born in
Jersey.  Hence the connection.

Warwickshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1861/1871 census - Gyde

The Birmingham Gyde family are all engravers throughout generations!.   There is a Henry Lewis Gyde b1829.  Are you sure you have the right birthyear?   HLG marries Elizabeth Harriet Grimbly who is the widow of Thomas Grimby. She has 2 young children. Her maiden name was Webster.  The children she has with HLG all have mmn of Webster.
HLG is an engraver in all the censuses.

Alderney, Guernsey, Jersey, Sark / Looking for info on Valentine Sybil Mary Bohun Chambers - in Jersey

VSMBC (maiden name Gyde) was born in 1900. She sometimes went by the first name of Sybil instead of Valentine.  She married Leslie Chalk in 1920 and divorced him in 1927.
She then married Frederick John Chambers in 1936.  I have no info on him at all, but at some time they - or she- bought a house in Jersey on Old Mont Cochon. She dies around 1984  - appreciate any info anyone can find - especially would love to track down her will or any press covering her.  Thanks.

Hi, the same family so I continued the same thread... Daniel Frazer Gordon had a daughter Margaret Penuel Coutts Gordon b1891.  She is the sister of Gladys Alexander Gordon.   I have no records for MPCG apart from the 1891 census then nothing until a death record in 1961 which implies she has married someone called Inglis?   Or it could be someone else totally different also with the same MPCG name?
Can anyone find anything please?

Thanks

And the Bone theory was a redherring - the other daughter Christina B Gordon was Christina Bella Gordon!

This link is to the research project Founders and Survivors which attempted to find what happened to convicts after sentence. Researchers were experienced genealogists.
As you can see at the end of Charles Henry COOPE details born 1808, exit after sentence unknown.
Not certain Henry COOP d 1884 is the same man.

Fabulous ! .... many thanks

Thanks but this is just Henry - not Charles Henry and my man definitely wasn't a farmer - so I don't think this is the right person.  Thanks for suggestion though.

Australia / Charles Henry Coop/Coope - convict Tasmania
« on: Thursday 07 April 22 15:18 BST (UK)  »
Hi - trying to find out what happened to Charles Henry Coop/Coope - he was deported in 1850 for 7 yrs for larceny arriving in Aug 1850 on the "Maria Somes".  He obviously hadn't learnt his lesson as he is in and out of prison several times between 1863 and 1872! 
After that I can find no records.
Any assistance appreciated!
Thanks
