Hi Shaun;

 Thank you very much for having a look into this. I believe this must be my Joseph Reaugh.

I had seen a reference to a Joseph Reaugh on the Findmypast site but on searching I was directed to someone named Reed instead. Am enquiring with their administrators on their indexing standards.

  Hadn't seen the national archives one listed under Reavy, thanks for pointing that out.

I will try to obtain record. I see he was a Chelsea pensioner so must have been wounded and perhaps passed and would explain why Maria was a widower on her 1836 marriage cert.


Thanks again so very much. Your help is much appreciated.

Merry Christmas!

Mark

Hi;

   I have found a piece of info on Joseph Reaugh/Ray that appears to be a connection

St. Helier Marriages
REAUGH    07 Nov 1820 Joseph (Soldier) and Marie Biles (St H)

St. Brelades Baptisms
REAUGH    15 Apr 1821 Joseph Biles son of Joseph and Maria (hence the Biles middle name)

have info on Maria Biles
MARIA BILES
   Female   
 Christening:  27 AUG 1791  Frampton, Dorset, England
Parents James Biles & Charity Bridle (of Sydling St. Nicholas)

Sydling St Nicholas Baptisms 1813 to 1848
407   5 Apr 1832     Ann Biles Devenish   dau of  base born   Maria REAUGH   Sydling St Nicholas    Married woman,   her husband living in Jersey    George Feaver Vicar

Melcombe Regis
St Mary's
Marriages 1831 - 1840
4 Feb 1836; John DEVENISH (Bachelor of Sydling, Dorset) & Maria REAUGH (Widow) (Sojourner); Licence -
Witnesses: Mary Bennett & Edward Fooks   

Name:    Maria Devenish
Birth Year:    abt 1791
Age:    56
Burial Date:    20 Jul 1847
Burial Place:    Sydling St Nicholas, Dorset, England


Cannot find anything on Maria's husband Joseph Reaugh and wondered if spelling from transcription may be an issue. Would anyone have access to St. Helier parish records for this marriage to crosscheck the names? Maria is listed as a widow in her marriage in 1836. Am presuming Joseph died on Jersey prior to 1836 or perhaps Maria may have fibbed and been 'double dipping'.

Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks

Mark Biles

  Am looking for birth/bapt info for Joseph Biles Ray and any ancestor info for him. His father was listed as a Joseph Ray on marriage cert.
   Banns , Marriage cert and children's bapt cert state the name as Joseph Biles Ray. If anyone is looking at St. Brelade/St. Aubin parish records around 1821 would greatly appreciate a lookup on this Joseph Biles Ray.

Thanks again

Mark Biles

Perth Courier, May 13, 1898
McLaren - Died, at Lanark on May 11, Peter McLaren, aged 80.
Elsewhere in the same paper:
The Era chronicled the death of Peter McLaren of Lanark on Wednesday morning of heart trouble and appendicitis.  Deceased was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1818 and came with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John McLaren, to Canada in 1822.  The family settled on Lot 1, 4th Concession Lanark.  His wife was Mary McDonald, also a native of Scotland who died 42 years ago.  Two of their five children are dead, the survivors being Mrs. H. Wallace of Chicago; Mrs. David McLaren and Mrs.  John  McLaren of Drummond.  He was a member of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church and in politics was a Liberal.  (Transcribers note, checked this twice it was “Mrs.” David McLaren and “Mrs.” John McLaren)
