Wales / Re: Powell Family tree

Is this a possibility? Both Ancestry and FindmyPast have three baptisms in Llanycil parish, Merionethshire for Edward the son of Evan Pool and Jane his wife of Is Mynydd. The dates are 9 Feb 1775, 19 Apr 1778, 3 Jul 1779.

In the same parish there are burials for Edward, son of Evan Pool & Jane, on 30 Apr 1778 and 23 May 1775.

Considering the fact I can't actually find any 'Powell' baptisms is there a possibility that he wasn't born in Wales at all (despite the information given on the 1851 Census)?

Ayrshire / Origins of McCabe
« on: Wednesday 10 April 24 22:46 BST (UK)  »
This question is a wee bit up in the air, but I am curious. My maternal grandfather, was from Monaghan, Ireland. He was a Protestant, but beyond that not much more is known about him. Monaghan is in Ulster but wasn't a prime area of Presbyterian settlement. On a DNA test I did Igot nothing to do with Ireland, but a substantial amount of Scottish. In this context, I did a test with LivingDNA. They are notoriously reliable for their 'British' regions. Literally 25% of my ancestry was derived from what they have as the 'SW Scotland & Northern Ireland' cluster, which is synymous with those in Northern Ireland who are of Protestant Scottish origin and is distinguished from those who are Irish. Now, McCabe is often written of as both an Irish and Scottish surname, but in other sources, it appears that is now an exclusively Irish surname, although it was brought over from Scotland in the late Middle Ages. In this case, whilst there are plenty of McCabe's in Scotland, one wonders whether they are all of Irish origin.
What I want to ask is, are they are of you in the Ayrshire area with the name McCabe, and not of Irish origin?

Hi
Sorry to be a pain but there is no 1802 census.
I assume we are looking for John Tucker living in Ramsgate and married to Mary Goodburn at St Peter's 22.2.1831.(both single)
In 1861 he is 62 and 1851 aged  49 Fisherman.
His burial gives him as born 1799 when he dies 30 Jan 1868.

In 1841 John is absent and Mary seems to be lodging with a Susanna Goodburn age 60 with children John 8,Mary5 ,Sarah 2 and Eliza 3mths.
The eldest son John James Tucker was baptised at St Andrews Plymouth 14.8.1833.His parents were of Castle Dyke Lane fisherman.
I'm guessing John and Mary Tucker went home to see his family.

ps looking at the possibilities of baptisms I'd go for parents John Tucker mariner and Mary Collicot who married St Charles 5.8.1788 as his parents and a baptism 7th June 1802 but I'm not hundred percent.There is a William Tucker in Castle Dyke Lane on the 1861 age 62 fisherman who may be a brother. He seems to work for George Wakeham Tucker born 1814 s of John and Mary Tucker  in 1863..

So it appears that William works for his brother?

Fife / English ancestry in Fife
« on: Thursday 14 March 24 01:13 GMT (UK)  »
Hello there. This is more of a 'general' query rather than anything specific in relation to my own family; according to DNA tests, eastern Scotland actually bears a lot of genetic overlap with England, even though there was (apparently) no Anglo-Saxon presence in Scotland save for the south-east. However, apparently there was some migration from SE England to Scotland as a result of the development of the Royal Burghs and the economic pull of said factor; sources vary but it appears the majority of English incomers moved to Fife/Angus. The question relates to how 'significant' this was? It obviously wasn't a particularly small amount. How many of you from Fife bear 'English' ancestors yourselves?

Devon / John Tucker
« on: Saturday 09 March 24 02:24 GMT (UK)  »
Hello there. I am curious about the origins of an ancestor of mine, John Tucker. He was born in Plymouth, Devon. Some conflicted information through Ancestry concerning his birthday however.  In the 1802 Census, he is apparently 49 years old (so born in 1801-02), whilst 10 years later, he is listed as being 62 (so born in 1798-99). I understand Tucker is a stupendously common surname in the Devon area.

Derbyshire / Bourne family origins (late 18th/early 19th century)
« on: Wednesday 06 March 24 22:31 GMT (UK)  »
Hello there. I am very curious about the origins of the said family, through my 2x great-grandmother, Hannah Bourne, who was born on 8 August 1825 in Derby. She was baptised when she was 18 months old on 25 February 1827. It appears her parents were William and Hannah. I was just curious if there is any way of knowing if William and Hannah were both originally from the Derby area of Derbyshire itself.

Baptism at St Mary Paddington, 7 May 1848
Born 18 April 1848
Ellen Rebecca
Parents George + Harriet Paxton
Abode Salem Road Bayswater
Father a Wood sawyer
Would it have been hard to get away with pretending one was the baby's biological parents, even if the baby in question was born only 3 weeks prior (to the baptism)

I don't have any evidence actually as of right now. I was mistaken!

I see that Carrickmacross is shown as his birthplace on a military record.
If he was Catholic, the records begin in 1838, so you will not find him there.

Strangely enough Magheracloone lists Carrickmacross as an alternative name and says marriages start 1826 and baptisms start 1836-

What am I to do to find any further details?
