Dumfriesshire / Re: BDM Eskdalemuir - Confused!
« on: Monday 28 January 19 05:38 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks for your replies Lanercost and Forfarian.  I’ve been using Scotland’s People and Familysearch [Scotland Marriages, 1561-1910].

OPR Marriages, 1824/0020 0104 Eskadlemuir, Scotland, name Robert Main, 30 March 1751 - when Robert paid his one shilling proclamation fee. Very frustrating that the spouse isn’t named.

You’re right lanercost I seem to have taken it for granted that this is the correct Jannet Park.   So many named Janet Park – can’t work out which is correct one.  Have tried to find her record of her death - sometimes Scotlands People have name of parents, but not sure of her date of death.

Yes, both parents named on bap of their children 1752 to 1767 as Robert Main/Janet Park. 

Forfarian Have been using Family Search and also checking with Scotland’s People.  Don’t think they were farmers believe Robert was a shepherd. So it may be another dead end!  Thanks for your interest.  Madison.

Dumfriesshire / BDM Eskdalemuir - Confused!
« on: Sunday 27 January 19 02:40 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, hope someone can help: Believe Robert Main m/Jannet Park 30 Mar 1751.  Famsch says Jannet Park born Eskdalemuir 1731 - her parents John Park/Jannet Hislop. Can’t find births or a marriage for John Park/Jannet Hislop .  Nearest birth is Jannet Hislop dau James Hislop/Bessie Watte bap Selkirk 13 Dec 1719. But this would make Jannet Hislop 12 years old when daughter Jannet Park born in 1731. Any help/suggestions appreciated.  Thanks, Maddison.

Hi, thanks to everyone for all that info. Trying to put it in sequence.
Gerry, thanks - it seems James Blake was at Bankstown working for Michael Riley between Jan and March 1832 at Banktown.
Thanks Neil – hadn’t heard of Lavender Bay – had to look it up. As his widow married a shipwright from nearby Millers Point it seems probable he was living/working around that area. 
Sue – that’s interesting - I had no idea that James Blake of the Marquis of Hastings had been sent to Moreton Bay. If he was returned from Moreton Bay 25/2/1832 he must have reoffended twice as he received 6 months with the Iron Gang for theft 13 August 1832, Parramatta Bench. Tried to find him on an on-line shipping list for the Isabella – is it on-line?
Many thanks to everyone for your help.
Maddison

Reply to JM – 23/8/15
Thanks for extra info JM. I didn’t know about James Blake’s Colonial Crime. Poor fellow - 6 Months with the Iron Gang! Have been trying to eliminate every James Blake convict around the age bracket. Can’t find any suitable local births.

James Blake - Marquis of Hastings - convicted aged 18 in 1827 so DOB 1809. Believe James Blake’s age at Marriage in 1841 was 32.  His occup waterman.  As gained C/of Freedom – 34/894 on 10 July 1834 didn’t need permission to marry. Native place – Gosport.  As he was tried at Chester Assizes he seems to have wandered a fair way from home as Gosport seems to be over 300 km away in Hampshire.

On his daughter’s bap/cert 1843, Parish St Philip, Sydney, County of Cumberland, James’ occup was given as Mariner & Abode as Cumberland Street, Sydney.  This daughter’s death cert shows her parents as James Blake [shipwright] and Mary Woods.

James Blake Death 19th Dec 1845 /V1845413 30B/1845. Abode - north shore, age 36, occup waterman, burial – 21 Dec 1845 in parish of the Holy Trinity, Co Cumberland [taken from Burials in parish of The Holy Trinity, County of Cumberland NSW.

Believe he could be the Blake who arrived on Marquis of Hastings in Apr 1827 but need to be sure – was hoping someone else interested in this family.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Maddison

Hello,  Is anyone researching James Blake convicted Chester Assizes, 1827, age 18 yrs. Arrived NSW 31 July 1827 on ship Marquis of Hastings[2]. Not sure but think he may be the James Blake who m/Mary Wood, Sydney 1841 and died in 1845.  Any suggestions appreciated. Maddison

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Re: Wick - birth/marriage/death
« on: Wednesday 20 May 15 06:41 BST (UK)  »
Thank you Victor for your prompt reply.   I think the burials for Edmond PERCE 1745, and for Catherine Perce, 1788 sound promising.  I would like to find his marriage to Catherine so I can connect them up to what I have. Possibly Edmond and Catherine were married about 1726/27 as I think they had a son Watkin Pearce in 1827.

Don't think the second Edmond Perce burial for 1767 fits in as I think Edmond & Catherine's son Edmond Pierce – may have been born about 1735, and married Jane John on 16 Dec 1759 at Wick.  Edmond & Jane then had a son Edmond born 1769 Wick who married Ann Frances in Jan 1794 at St Brides Major. Sorry if this seems a lot of unnecessary info but I am trying to connect up the dots!

Any suggestions, would be appreciated.  Thanks, Maddison.

Hello.  Am trying to find marriage for parents of Edmund Pearce [born about 1735 possibly at Wick, St Brides, Glamorgan].  Believe parents may be Edmund Pearce and Catherine/Katherine but can’t find them on any lists.  Any help appreciated.  Thanks Maddison.

Hi Mabel, thanks for transcribing the Welsh Newspaper notice re David Pearce’s son – you’re so lucky you can read Welsh. At least this tells me that although they were now in Middlesbrough they seem to have kept in touch with family in Glamorgan. Maddison.

That’s great Mabel. Yes, I wondered if the family might have gone to the workhouse for a time. This brings the family to life and confirms that Elizabeth stayed in the area somewhere. Thanks, I didn’t know the Welsh newspaper was on line.
I knew that David & Edward had gone to Yorkshire but don’t have this child in 1869. Haven’t been able to access the birth notice yet.  Now I just have to go back to looking for Elizabeth's parents. Thanks, Maddison
