The Common Room / Livery
« on: Saturday 15 July 17 22:40 BST (UK) »
Can anyone explain "livery", not the horse meaning, not the clothes meaning.
An example sentence is: "Richard married Margery, and who had livery in 1351"
Another example is: "Robert was granted 'livery of Stapleton' in 1301"
What does it mean?

Exactly the type of reply I had hoped for.
I had forgotten the option of a son of another family branch which gives me another avenue to check.
Many thanks

The Common Room / Theobald Stapleton Fitz Thomas
« on: Friday 30 June 17 08:59 BST (UK) »
I am reading the "Deputy Keeper of Public Records in Ireland - eighteenth report"
It is a list of all land owners and the detail of the land holdings by parish, around 1640.
The Stapletons lived in Drom Parish in Tipperary (still do) for 800 years
So, I come across "Theobald Stapleton Fitz Thomas".
I know that in 1640, Fitz may mean illegitimate (or it may not).
I have the father of the Theobald in question being a Patrick.
So, either I have a new Theobald or my info is wrong
My question is, does "Theobald Stapleton Fitz Thomas" mean that Theobald's father was Thomas, or could it mean a more distant notable Thomas?

Family History Beginners Board / Amelia Allen and Denis Dynan
« on: Monday 13 March 17 14:47 GMT (UK) »
This is a cracker of a story....
Amelia (my great Aunt) was the daughter of Benjamin Allen (1789 to 1846) and Elizabeth Gethings (1788-)
Can't find her birth record (she may be the Meliora Allen of 1820, but don't think so), though reckon in must be in the 1820's
I do have her Marriage record to Denis (17 Apr 1843)
Next I find, is her left behind on the docks in Liverpool (by accident), while hubby (in the 53rd foot) sails away to India with the troops.
She makes the papers, (http://search.findmypast.ie/bna/viewarticle?id=bl%2f0001317%2f18440912%2f008) and a fund is raised to look after her and a great many efforts are made to get her on another ship to join him in India.
The above link ties her to her father (Benjamin Allen) to Denis and the 53rd foot.
Other papers do a piece on her, intimating that she had a young child with her.
She finally makes it to India, actually arriving 10 days before the husbands ship
8 Feb 1845 • Calcutta, West Bengal, India
Amelia Dynan reached Calcutta in the "Mary Sommerville", ten days before her husband on "The Nith"
I don't know where to find out info on her in India, I believe she dies there, any help with this would be great.
The next bit, I am reasonably sure of having the correct Denis, but Denis goes on the become a corporal, then a sergeant in the 53rd Foot.
Then he is awarded the Victoria Cross medal for an action at Chattra, Bihar, India, 2nd October 1857.
No mention of Amelia or children???
The detail on the Denis Dynan VC medal winner is that he is from Queens county Ireland, born 1822 and was with the 53rd foot, which would all tally.
Any ideas on how to find more info on Amelia?
