Dublin / Re: Jane Buck abt 1795 Dublin
« on: Monday 31 July 17 17:44 BST (UK)  »
Maggie: 
We do not have definitive proof at the moment but the dates are right and there are clues in the Andrew names and the fact that legal deeds show Andrew pragmaticus (Esq) acting as lawyer to members of Rev Dr Andrew (clerics)'s family.  With effectively no church records coming through, we are putting most effort into the newspaper searches and have found there just in the last fortnight details of a further sister of Jane's (Frances Buck married Vaughan Waldron in Dublin 1799).  Newspapers have been invaluable!
There are also presumably a good number of other children of Jane's to be identified.  I am hoping someone else traces their family back to one of those and posts here or on Ancestry!  The elder ones would have been old enough at her death to be making their own way in life but it seems surprising only four young ones surfaced in England.

Dublin / Re: Jane Buck abt 1795 Dublin
« on: Thursday 20 April 17 16:17 BST (UK)  »
Jane BUCK is part of my grandmother's BUCK family.  Jane's parents were Andrew Buck (ca 1756-ca 1820) and Maria Campbell, both of Dublin.  Very happy to elaborate on what we know if this is of help - but not a lot known by us on that immediate bit of the family as it still needs some further research.  But there is little doubt that it links in to Rev Dr Andrew Buck (1725-1795) who was headmaster of the Oxmantown Academy in Dublin until his death in 1795 and thus into the Bucks of Limerick and Cork.  They were all Church of Ireland.

Buckinghamshire / Re: Surname Interest - DARVELL - Chesham
« on: Saturday 19 November 16 15:24 GMT (UK)  »
Kapua:
I have long had a DARVALL one-name study, which has its roots in Buckinghamshire.  When I saw your interest in the name Jacob Darvell of Chesham, I thought this might link to the Quaker Darvalls of Gt Missenden/Lee/Chesham, who all had biblical names such as Simon/Samuel/Jacob.  My research in that area does not go much beyond 1750 as the spelling had usually become distinctly -ILL or -ELL by then and I am primarily looking at the origins of those bearing the -ALL name today.  But I have for instance Jacob Darvall (d.1733) who had no children but names his nephew Jacob Darvell as principal beneficiary under his will dated 1733.  Happy to give you more detail on this if of interest after all this time?

Dublin / Re: Later registers for St Michan's, Dublin?
« on: Saturday 19 November 16 11:16 GMT (UK)  »
Dear Geoff (and anybody else who knows the answer):
I am aware of the early printed registers of St Michan's, Dublin (CoI) to 1699 and of the 1922 loss of most volumes.  I am wondering where you found the post 1699 registers/transcripts/indexes as I am on a similar search, in my case for BUCK family ancestors who lived in and around Oxmantown and the wider Dublin area through the 18th and 19th centuries.  Rev Dr Andrew BUCK was principal of the Oxmantown Academy from the late 1750s until his death in 1795, and I believe at least one male relative was married in St Michan's in 1779.

Dublin / Re: CLOTWORTHY DOBBIN DEVITT c.1787

Although this is an old enquiry, I too have followed this line and have a lot of information about the antecedents of Jane BUCK (not Burk) who died Dublin 1832 leaving 10 children, according to a newspaper report of her death.  Let me know if this is still live and if we might exchange information.  I am related to the Bucks.
