Antrim / Re: James Stuart CB of Gracehill

For anyone in this very old thread who is interested, I finally found the marriage announcement that states Henry Benson Stuart as the eldest son of James Stuart. I thought I'd share my exciting news!

Have a look here:

Unfortunately the "tables décennales" for the letter S for the period are missing so you will have to trawl through the actual registers for the years 1911 and 1912.

That’s excellent! Thank you so much for that. I don’t mind a bit of record trawling.

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know where I can try to find a death record in Maison-Laffitte, France around 1911/1912?
I was sent a memoir by a distant relative and I’m curious about some of the people mentioned it.

I’m looking for the death of John Stuart, who was a racehorse trainer, and married to a woman named Gloria. I do not know if these were their real names or nicknames.

According to the memoir, John Stuart studied to be a vet in Edinburgh, ran a hat factory with his brother Henry in Luton, and had stables in Newmarket for his horses. Around 1894/1895 he and his wife and niece, Mary Stuart, moved to Maison-Laffitte, France.

I can’t find any information on these two people. Mary Stuart I have lots on. I’ve searched Ancestry (subscription) and a few things on Find My Past (no subscription). I’m not sure where I can look for records in France.

Thanks so much for any and all advice and tips 😊

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / Re: Mayman vs Maynard

Okay so his name is likely Jabesh Maynard. This man is giving me a run for my money. Thank you for being extra sets of eyes for me.

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / Mayman vs Maynard
« on: Tuesday 25 April 23 17:21 BST (UK)  »
I’m not sure if this is the correct riding to post in but it may not matter. My 5th great grandfather, Jabez Maybard, married in Doncaster in 1793. The image shows his name as Jabesh Mayman. All other records succeeding the marriage record shows Jabez Maynard. The family all went by the surname Maynard and a son and grandsons were named Jabez Maynard. I have no records prior to his marriage in 1793. He was born about 1770 but I’m not sure where. He died in Drypool in 1818.

What could be the reason for the name change? His signature on the banns also shows Jabesh Mayman.

Thanks so much for any knowledge you can pass on to me :)

Bedfordshire / Help Reading Pension
« on: Wednesday 08 February 23 12:31 GMT (UK)  »
Good morning,
I have a part of a pension that I am having difficulty reading. There’s writing in the background that I know says Leighton Buzzard but I can’t make out whose name is written down and where in Leighton Buzzard. I think it says some sort of school but I want to be certain.

Thanks so much!

London and Middlesex / Re: Charles Stuart 1867 Shepherds Bush
« on: Saturday 15 October 22 12:51 BST (UK)  »
Witnesses look like either Jarvis ? Sheppard or possibly James ? Sheppard and Kate Agusta Cave. I looked up Kate Cave but couldn’t see how she fits in.

I’ve looked into Charles Browne Stuart, son of John Lewis Stuart and Gertrude Weston. He married Charlotte Agnes Musgrave Clay. They had a son in 1855, Charles John Lewis Stuart. He married Katharine Frances Douglas. So that rules him out.
