Hampshire & IOW Completed Lookup Requests / James Fox
« on: Saturday 30 June 12 07:50 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

My gr gr grandfather, James Fox, was born abt. 1803 in Ringwood, Hampshire, England.  He married a lady called Jane sometime in the 1820s.  Jane was born in Wimborne, Dorset, England abt. 1802.  They had the following children - Ann Fox b. abt. 1830, Jane Fox b. abt. 1836, Emma Fox b. abt 1838, Ellen Fox b. abt. 1840, and Sarah Fox (my gr grandmother) b. 1843.  They were all born in Ringwood, Hampshire, England.  I have been unable to find a marriage for James and Jane.  I would like to find it so that I can find out Jane's surname.  I am wondering if anyone can help me to find the marriage.

Thanking you.
Best wishes,
Judith.

Hi Greg,
I was interested in your post that says that you descend from William Armstrong and Elizabeth Mosgrove.  I descend from William's half sister, Mary Ann Armstrong.  Mary Ann came to Australia to look for William and her half sister, Margaret Jane Armstrong.  She arrived in Australia on board the "Indus" in 1871.  She went to Allora in Queensland to work as a cook at Talgai East Homestead.  There she met her future husband, Alexander Munro.  It was 20 years before she located her brother, and that was through a newspaper article.  She took her son, my grandfather, Alexander Munro Jnr., on a sea voyage to visit Margaret Jane in Sydney, and then went on to visit William in Victoria.  The story  is that my grandfather was 12 at the time, and went away with shoulder length curls, but came back without them.  He also managed to lose his sailor hat in the sea!  I would be interested in any information you may have on William Armstrong and his family.  I'll send you a personal message with my email address.
Thank you.
Best wishes,
Judith.

Ross & Cromarty / Re: Barnet Munro

Hi Maclennon 25,

Thank you so much for your message.  I have only just picked it up.  It is certainly the right family.  I think I have the 1851 census details, but not the 1881 information for the Calders and the Munros.  It is interesting because, at his death, Lewis Calder was listed as a coal merchant.  I think he and his sons had all gone into the coal business.  Also, I have information that Hugh Munro was originally a farmer.  This all helps to fill in the picture.  I would be really interested to find out who you were researching for.  However, if you can't remember, don't worry.

Best wishes,
Nibea.

Ross & Cromarty / Barnet Munro
« on: Sunday 29 January 12 02:23 GMT (UK)  »
Hello Everyone,

I am searching for anyone who may have descended from Barnet Munro and Isabella Ross.  Barnet was born about 1787 in Kilmuir Easter, Ross and Cromarty.  He married Isabella Ross in 1820 in Kilmuir Easter.  Following are their children - John Munro b. 1820, Alexander Munro b. 1823, Barbara Munro b. 1825, Helen Munro b. 1827, George Munro b. 1830, Christina Munro b. 1834, Alexander Munro b. 1836, Christina Munro b. 1839.  John was born in Logie Easter.  The other children were all born in Kilmuir Easter.  I descend from Alexander Munro b. 1836.  He migrated to Australia in the 1860s, meeting his brother George in Allora, Queensland, Australia.

I hope someone can help me.
Best wishes,
Nibea.

Cardiganshire / Morgan Jones, Aberystwyth
« on: Monday 28 July 08 08:49 BST (UK)  »
Hi to all Jones researchers,

I am looking for information about my gr gr gr grandfather, Morgan Jones.  He was born about 1800 in Aberystwyth, I think.  His occupation was that of a clerk.  He married Elizabeth Hopkins.  Their daughter, Ann Elizabeth Jones, was my gr gr grandmother.  She was born in Aberystwyth in 1833.  She came out to Australia about 1850/1851.  Ann married Henry Francis Bird in Adelaide in 1851.  Later, in 1873, following the death of Henry in 1862, she married Sidney Wilson/Lee in Sandhurst (now Bendigo), Victoria.   If anyone can help me with any information about Morgan Jones and his family, I would be grateful.

Many thanks,
Judith.

Hi Christopher,

Yes, you certainly need to have an appropriate hat for St. Patrick's Day!  Thank you for the web site.  I can see it's going to take a bit of searching.  So, I hope I have some happy hunting days ahead.

Best wishes,
Judith.

Hi Christopher,

I love the green hat!  Thanks for your reply to my message.  I think my Costigan and Kennedy ancestors were probably Roman Catholic.  Are there any church records with databases online for Ireland.  As you can see, I live in Australia, so have to rely on the Internet.

Thanks again, and best wishes,
Judith.

Ross & Cromarty / Re: BARBARA ROSS born c 1765 AT KILMUIR EASTER (?)

Dear Eileen, 
I have a Barbara Ross b. 1763 Kilmuir Easter, Ross and Cromarty.  She married John Munro b. 1759 Kilmuir Easter.  I descend from their son, Barnet Munro b. 1781 Kilmuir Easter.  John Munro was a mason and slater and Barnet was a slater.  Barnet married Isobel Ross and they had a number of children.  According to old parish records, several of their children were born in Tullich, Kilmuir Easter.

I know this is a different family, but there must have been a relationship.  The occupations are similar and Tullich is also mentioned.  It seems that Barnet worked both in Tullich and in Milntown.

Hope you find this interesting,
Best wishes,
Judith.
