Hi Robert,

Many thanks for your input. Most helpful!

I have been helping my cousins "Young" with their family tree. Their father, my uncle, was Sir Richard D. Young.

Cheers, Dunlata

Lancashire / John Syers JONES

« on: Saturday 16 November 13 23:05 GMT (UK) »

Need help is obtaining the full birth date of John Syers Jones. Parents were: John Gregory Jone (b. 1811) and Louisa Williamson (b. 1816).

The Census of 1851 gives his approx year of birth as 1837.
He was baptized in St. Peter's Church, Liverpool, Lancashire on 19 May 1837.

Have tried FindmyPast and FamilySearch but they only provide baptism details.
Reason for seeking his full date of birth is to obtain a copy of his birth certificate from the General Register Office.

Any help appreciated.

Hi Roy G.

Many thanks for your help. I was aware of an Imre but was unaware how he was connected to the family. It was interesting to note where you came across the name in your research.
Thanks again.

Angus (Forfarshire) / John Hay Duncan

« on: Sunday 10 June 12 19:19 BST (UK) »

Any help appreciated.

David Duncan, born 1799 Cants Mill, Kingoldrum, Angus , married Elizabeth Hay, born 1799 Couper Angus, Angus had three children: William, Ann and John Hay.

I have not been able to ascertain what happened to John Hay Duncan other than what is in a photocopy of a letter as follows:

"Dundee, May 3rd 186(?)
Dear Sir, Having read the following in the Peoples Journal of Saturday last and not sure but it might have reference to your brother I send it to you as it appeared:[/i][/i][/i]

- In the list of the crew of the Lord Delaval, of Sheild, which left Constantinople for Shields on the 10th Nov last, and has not since been heard of, two of the crew belong to the quarter:- Jphn McQueen, seaman, native of Dundee; and John Duncan. Carpenter, native of Perth. -

You will be as good as return me an answer as soon as you get this . I remain Dear Sir your affectionate Friend, James Duncan.

45 Cotton Road, Dundee."

How can I find out if he returned to Scotland by other means. Or did he come to an untimely end?
Regards,
Dunlata

Hi Dazey999,

Many thanks for your input. The date of marriage fits in with the date of the first born (I have learned there were nine births to follow). The two venues could be the banns being held at two parish churches.

Tks.

« on: Tuesday 13 March 12 16:12 GMT (UK) »

Hi,

Help wanted.
Thomas Young born 1747, Minehead, Somerset was married to Sarah Davis born1752 also in Minehead, Somerset. Have not been able to find their wedding date nor where marriage took place.

I believe Sarah's father was Robert Davis - have not been able to find any information on his particulars or who was Sarah's mother.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers, Dunlata

P.S. - The above Thomas Young's first born was Dr. Thomas Young, the famous Egyptologists. Married to Eliza Maxwell (Born ?)

Denbighshire / Re: John Jones - Blacksmith

Hi William,

Thank you for your info. I am at a loss as to why the same town is in two different counties. If you go to the following web site you will see that a present day Blacksmith of Dyserth shows his address to be in Denbinghshire.
