Norfolk / Re: Harmer Rogers c1753
« on: Yesterday at 16:11 »
I found Catherine that you mentioned (baptism 26/08/1752), although the record I found, had her with a K not a C and it was an original hand-written record, with Father Joseph and Mother Elizabeth. I also found on Dustydocs another possible sister Susanna Elizabeth Rogers, born to Joseph and Elizabeth Rogers (baptism 27/8/1760 Norfolk), so another possible. I guess you have probably already found a daughter for Harmer and Elizabeth.
Regards.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Pine Family tree

Welcome to Rootschat!
I hope you have an interesting time when you start your family tree.
Of course your starting point must be yourself, followed by your parents, and then grandparents. Birth, Marriage and Death certificates are very important, and a free site you can use is FreeBMD and there is also another one called FreeREG as well, which is very useful. I started mine off on a very large sheet of paper before I transferred anything on to a Family Tree site. Familysearch is another free site you could also use. Happy hunting!
Regards.

Welcome to Rootschat.

As you say you have quite a lot of information, are you just looking for possible photographs of the family?
Regards.

Always difficult that far back, but you could try FreeREG.

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Re: Baptism of Joseph Whiffen Humby - Portsmouth

Can't find a Baptism for him, but he married twice, and had very many children. Tree online says he died 17/3/1883 Landport, Hampshire.

Maybe doing a DNA test with Ancestry or one of the others would be of help in this situation.

Her Mother Agnes died in 1934, and her Father provided for 5 years, which would take the date to 1939, when nothing more was heard of him. This of course was when WW2 broke out, which might be a route to check out.
I have tried to attach copies of David's birth record, and also his marriage record, but it seems they are too big for Rootschat's system, so if you want to PM me with your email address to have a copy, I will happily have another go at attaching them for you.
Regards,

New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Ewen Cameron and Catherine MacPherson
« on: Saturday 26 April 25 15:12 BST (UK)  »
Kia Ora,
I have found some information, but it will need a lot of checking out.
Angus born 1822 Bracadale, Catherine born 18/4/1823 Bracadale, Mary born 3/12/1830 Bracadale.
Angus dies 3/4/1873 Canterbury, Mary dies Roslyn Dunedin 19/2/1886. There is a tree showing father Ewen died in Snizort Inverness shire also 3/4/1873 so probably wrong date for Angus a mistype. However if this is true then Catherine would not have been a widow when she went to NZ. The tree also shows Ewen's wife Catherine dying in Snizort Inverness shire 28/1/1888 15 years after her husband died. two of her children had died by this point, so maybe she went back home to Scotland.
Regards.
