Oxfordshire / Re: Goodenough family in war borough
« on: Friday 27 June 14 16:24 BST (UK)  »
Nick,

If you have traced Goodenough fathers' side to 1684 do you have the baptism of Edward who married Elizabeth Stite/Staite in Warborough in 1769. I and a few others have been looking for this for years.

Thanks

Cork / Re: John McGrath in Gloucester Gaol

I have no doubt you are right. Louisa and John McGrath had two children - Hester and Maria.

I can send you a copy of Louisa's marriage entry if I can have your email.

I will obtain a copy of John Darke's will - might take a while.

How far back have you gone with John's family?

Thanks for putting me right

We still live in England, South West London

I have a baptism of Louisa DRAKE, daughter of Thomas and Dinah 1809. I assumed this was a mis-spelling and that John was her uncle. Do you have evidence he was her father. I note there is a will for John at Gloucester Record Office I am happy to send for if you don't have?

Cork / Re: John McGrath in Gloucester Gaol

My wife is related to Louisa Darke. She married Alexander McGrath, widower, in 1835 who was named as John on their daughter Hester Elizabeth's baptism in 1836 and Maria's in 1837. But after that he disappeared. He does not appear on the 1841 census and I cannot find his death.

Was he the John McGrath from County Cork on the 1835 Gloucester gaol register.

Any help appreciated

Cork / John McGrath in Gloucester Gaol
« on: Sunday 18 November 07 21:24 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone please help me connect the McGraths of Gloucestershire with County Cork (or anywhere else)?
 
This is what I have so far:
 
22 June 1835 Alexander McGrath, widower, married Louisa Darke at St Nicholas, Gloucester
 
11 August 1835 John McGrath of County Cork, Ireland on the Gloucester gaol register for alledged theft in Cheltenham. Discharged 18 August.
 
27 July 1837 birth cert of Maria Dark McGrath daughter of Johna and Louisa at Stroud, Gloucestershire
 
1841 census  Louisa, Elizabeth (age 5) and Maria (age 3) Stroud. No sign of John or Alexander.
 
June 1842 (Free BMD) marriage Louisa McGroff and William Elston.
 
There is no sign of a John or Alexander Mcgrath in the registers of deaths for the Stroud area between July 1837 and June 1841.
 
I would love to know if the John McGrath in gaol in 1835 was the husband of Louisa and father of Maria and, therefore, the same as Alexander, and what happened to him after 1837.
 
Any help appreciated. Thanks

Looking for James Axbey and Eliza Goodyear who were married 1841 St George Hanover Sq and both gave address as Maddox Street. James was a servant. Who was his master? Cannot find him on any of the on-line census indexes.

Any help appreciated

Gloucestershire / Re: McGRATH and DARKE Stroud/Rodborough area
« on: Tuesday 06 March 07 22:41 GMT (UK)  »
Angela,

That's perfect. Thank you very much. Louisa's mother was Hester so another match. I have what I was looking for, Elizabeth's baptism, anything else would have been a bonus, although I'd love to know where John McGrath came from, it doesn't seem a Glos name.

I agree the John in gaol is probably not the same one, more likely the one married in Cheltenham 1837.

Thanks agsin.

Best wishes

Trevor
