Dublin / Re: TRACY, James, Corn Dealer, in Dublin Trade Directory
« on: Tuesday 31 May 22 12:56 BST (UK)  »
Hi LH,

Sarah Jane Tracy was born in 1844 in Hull to John Tracy and Mary Howard (b Scotland). I have been unable to find a record of this marriage. Mary died in 1846 in Liverpool, and John married Mary Anne Scott in Liverpool in 1861. It was from this, second, marriage that John's father was named as James Tracy, corn dealer, Dublin.
Cheers,
Jan W

Dublin / TRACY, James, Corn Dealer, in Dublin Trade Directory
« on: Tuesday 31 May 22 06:41 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone have access to Dublin Trade Directories from about 1760-1840? I'm looking for James TRACY/TRACEY who was recorded on son John Tracy's marriage certificate as a Corn Dealer, deceased in 1861.
Many thanks,
Jan W.

Lancashire / Re: RICHARD WHITFORD, Insolvency and Imprisonment
« on: Tuesday 01 June 21 12:03 BST (UK)  »
Sorry all, I should have given more detail. I have not been able to find Richard's birth - he married Charlotte Jones on the Isle of Man in 1812, his occupation was 'mariner' at the time of their one and only son's birth in Liverpool in 1814.   
The reference to Ann Jones in the trial confirmed that this is the same Richard who married Charlotte Jones on the IOM.
The reference to Richard's father being in Falmouth is too vague to identify - or too vague for me, anyway. Oral family history claims that Richard was born in Helston, which is fairly close to Falmouth, but this also has been hard to confirm.
I've looked at emigration records to Australia and Canada with no luck, and the couple did not appear in the 1841 Census.
This small newspaper report is the first clue I've had in the 20+ years of my search! That is why I'm  asking about court records, specifically in Lancaster because that is the most likely place for imprisonment as the county town for Lancashire.

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Re: Oxwich BTs ACE

Thanks, yes I know about the Reynoldston Samuel. The reason I'm asking about the BTs is because the Oxwich Parish Registers start after 1772 and the BTs exist for the years before this. I know there were many Aces in Oxwich, and I think Samuel was more likely to have been born there than in Reynoldston. There is also some evidence that the Reynoldston Samuel died in Reynoldston.

All help is appreciated!

Thanks for that. I have tried the library website, but have never managed to find the BTs. I'll try the enquiry number- good idea.

Lancashire / RICHARD WHITFORD, Insolvency and Imprisonment
« on: Monday 31 May 21 08:41 BST (UK)  »
The following judgement appeared in Gore's Liverpool General Advertiser 30 November 1826 about an Insolvency case for RICHARD WHITFORD:
"the Insolvent had fraudently disposed of his property, with a view to deprive his creditors of that portion to which they were entitled. If this conclusion were wrong, The Insolvent could apply to have his case reheard, but under the present circumstances, he, the Commissioner, was bound to conclude that a fraud had been practised. The judgement of the Court was that he be imprisoned for 13 months from the date of filing his petition."
Would I be right in presuming that he was imprisoned in Lancaster: can anyone confirm this?  Would there would be any records?
This is the last known sighting of Richard Whitford - he and his wife disappear completely.
Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Hi there,
Does anyone have access to the BTs for Oxwich, Gower? Not the parish registers - they don't seem to go back quite far enough. I'm looking for SAMUEL ACE who I believe was born in Oxwich between 1765 and 1775.
Many thanks,
Jan W

Lancashire / Re: LORD EXMOUTH PUB, LIVERPOOL

No, not my ancestor. I believe the Liverpool line started with Richard Whitford, mariner, born in Cornwall, married Charlotte Jones on the Isle of Man, son Robert Henry born in 1814. Thanks, anyway.
