Hi Richard, many thanks for the follow up and your pm. I had to resort to a pm to you because I couldn't find a way to post either. I would love a copy of your spreadsheet please, I would like to find the sources of the marriages in your line as I cannot find them at the moment. I will pm you with my email address.

Regards Roger

Suffolk Lookup Requests / Re: Ernest Brunning at Westerfield
« on: Saturday 11 November 23 13:14 GMT (UK)  »
Norman, I know this thread is old now, but I live in Northumberland and recently saw an MOD headstone in the CWG area of a Morpeth church, for George A Brunning, a cpl in the RAF who died in a motorcycle accident in 1954.  Although I am not a local lad, all the family roots are back in Suffolk, but I decided to research this young lad's history.  His father was Ernest J Brunning, Harriet's illegitimate son and the person you were looking for. I also got Jeremiah and Elizabeth Hunt as his grandparents, preceded by Thomas Brunning (1778-1848) = Mary Mann (1788-1866), preceded by Leonard T Brunning (1759-1848) = Elizabeth Hammond (1762-1820), preceded by Edward Meadows Brunning (1739-1812)=Sarah Collins. Ernest James married Mary I Youll and they had 6 children, including George who died in the accident aged 23 years. George was married to a girl in Bath and they had 2 girls who were only 3 and 1 when he died.  If you would like any further information please get in touch.

My Francis line are all from the Wirral way back, I agree with all your findings.  I had missed a child off one of my lines and he and his brother both had daughters with the same Christian name within a couple years of each other.   I had contact from a 2nd cousin who named his grandad and that exposed my error.  Whilst investigating the error, I came across these other Francis families and thought I would follow them to see if they connected,  but to my mind they won't do so.  I believe, but have not yet found evidence, that my family had origins on the IOM.

Thanks all, now certain that they are not my family, but an interesting chase anyway.  Osprey, I see that you are researching Thomas and Watkins in Glamorgan, my wife's family has the Thomas line going back to Robert Thomas 1777-1833 and his wife Lucy Williams 1781-1847.  They were mine owners and credited with being pioneers of taking steam coal to London and then around the world.  One of their grandchildren married
Mary Ann Watkins b 1846.

Kind regards to all.

Many thanks for this, I had wondered if it was Llanarmon, but as it is written in his own hand on the 1911 census, I rather thought he might know.  I had just found Llanferres on a baptism register so was starting to go with that.  Many thanks once again.   Roger

I am researching a Francis family and one James Francis, b1867, states on the Wirral 1911 census that he was born in Llanmorn, Denbighshire.  His writing is quite legible, so there doesn't appear to be any dispute of the name, at least in my mind. I have no idea where this village is and none of the searches brings up the name.  Is this an old name, or shortened/local name.  I am hoping to find his parents to try to link them into my Francis family.   
Many thanks,  Roger

Jen,

I think you may be right in there being a second marriage for William, it would seem that his first marriage could have been to Ann Duncan who died a couple of months after James was born.  James was the youngest of 6 kids, with 3 more to Isobel.  William and Ann moved around Angus a bit.

Maxwell married Agnes Evans and they had 6 kids also.

Off on holiday now for a while, so searching will take a back seat for the rest if the month.

Regards

Hi Monica,

Thanks for that, I guess I messed up on that one, swapping between emails and programmes must have given me a senior moment (or two), so i would be more convinced now that Alexander and James were brothers, both the sons of William and Isabella.

Hi All,

Having reviewed, checked and checked again, I tend to agree with Jen that the 1803 Alexander could be the brother of my 1799 James, with parents William and Isabel Scott; however, James' DC shows his father as a 'ploughman', which doesn't really fit in with being a shore porter or innkeeper, so I'm really not sure.  I feel another spend with ScotlandsPeople coming on.

Jen, where do you fit in with your Jolly's?.  My connection goes back to Fettercairn too via the Betsy Jane Jolly marriage to David Dakers in 1867.

I have James Jolly = Anne Christie, James being the son of David Jolly = Isabella Stuart, with David being the son of John Jolly = Margaret Young.  Is this like your research?


Roger
