London and Middlesex / Re: Robert Lindo Etherington born 1843, Isleworth
« on: Tuesday 11 February 25 08:20 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you amondg and Neale1961 for your replies. 

I checked John Taylor and Mary Lee's marriage certificate and Mary Lee states her father is James Lee. You are correct in Mary being James Lee's sister.

Amy's sister, Mary Ann, in 1861 is living with a John and Mary Taylor.  The relationship is niece.  James could possibly be a cousin of Mary Ann and Amy, ie John and Mary's son.

A starting point and will look in to this further.

I have checked emigration but have not found anything.  I did check a Robert Etherington going to Canada but the age of the person was not right. 

Not sure who James and Emily Taylor are but will do some research on this.

Amy Lee was born on 24 December 1846 in Middlesex to Elizabeth Mary Stevens, age 25, and James Frederick Lee, age 21.  Sometimes Amy went by the name of Emmy rather than Amy.

London and Middlesex / Robert Lindo Etherington born 1843, Isleworth
« on: Monday 10 February 25 23:46 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to find Robert Lindo Etherington after 1871 who was born 31 May 1843, Isleworth, Middlesex.

Parents are William Henry Etherington (1804-1880) and Elizabeth Lindo (1810-1870).  Robert married Amy Lee 13 August in Chiswick, Middlesex (I have their marriage certificate).  Amy's father is James Lee, a Gardener. He was deceased at the time of his marriage.

I have found Robert Lindo in the 1851, 1861 and 1871 Census.  I am not able to find Robert Lindo Etherington after his marriage to Amy and would appreciate help in finding Robert.

Family History Beginners Board / Re: Would someone lie about who their father was?
« on: Thursday 29 August 24 02:31 BST (UK)  »
My grandmother was born around 1880 in Kent, England.  She has a father's name on her marriage certificate and I have not been able to find any evidence that he existed, despite many years of research.  A professional researcher hired a number of years ago was also not able to find him.  I have also not been able to find a birth record for my grandmother.  The earliest she appears in records is in the 1901 Census.   

I believe she was illegitimate and possibly given up by her mother.  To save face she made up her father's name and perhaps even changed her name.

England / Re: Adoption mid 1940s
« on: Tuesday 23 April 24 01:31 BST (UK)  »
My mother gave up one of her children in 1947.  It was in unusual circumstances.  My parents already had 3 children and the child that was given up for adoption my father believed he was not his child.  My mother had the child adopted when he was about 9 months.  I have the original birth certificate and in the margin it is noted adoption.  What is unusual is that my mother had his adoption papers with the name of the people who adopted him.  She and my father were sent a Notice of An Application for an Adoption Order.  The Education Committee of the County Council of the County of Southampton were appointed guardian and the application for adoption was heard before the Juvenile Court sitting at the Town Hall, Eastleigh.  The Notice of Application was sent by the person who adopted him.  I have never been able to work out how my parents were able to have access to this document as I always believed the details of the adopting couple were kept private.

The Common Room / Re: "Anyone out there with ancestors who where Gold seekers in Victoria 1860s?".
« on: Saturday 17 February 24 23:01 GMT (UK)  »
My husband's paternal great grandfather and great great grandfather were on the gold trail.  Thomas Hill (1825-1894), his 2 sons (Thomas and William) and daughter (Emma), were in the Daylesford area for a few years in the 1850/1860s and later moved to Milparinka in NSW.  Gold was discovered in Milparinka and for a few years the family lived there.  Emma Hill, met Selmar Heuzenroeder in Milparinka and they married there when Emma was 19.  Selmar and his brother Carl operated a store and made regular trips to Wilcannia to pick up supplies.  Emma and Selmar in the 1890s moved to Birdwood in SA and later settled in Silverton and Broken Hill. 

Thomas Hill decided to move to Coolgardie WA in search of gold in 1890.  Tragically Thomas committed suicide shortly after moving to the area.  Thomas had been robbed a week before his death and had to borrow money from friends. After their father's death his 2 sons moved to Coolgardie, one settling in the area and the other later moving to South Australia.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Two Free Online Genealogy Courses - futurelearn.com
« on: Saturday 27 January 24 02:53 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

I am currently working through 2 free genealogy courses provided by futurelearn.com and the University of Strathclyde.

The 2 courses are in one week blocks and go for 6 weeks.  There are short videos to watch and articles to read.  There are also several quizzes that are completed in various sections. The 2 courses are Genetic Genealogy: Researching your family tree using DNA  and  Genealogy: Research your family tree.

There is basic information which would help someone who is just starting out in their family history.  I have been undertaking family history, constructing family trees and also looking into DNA, for a number of years and have found the course to be rewarding.  Thus far I have completed Week 1 and Week 2 has just been made available (27 January)
