Somerset / SHUMACK/SHOEMARK in Martock
« on: Thursday 12 May 11 06:26 BST (UK)  »
My ancestor Elizabeth Schumack's obituary in 1893 says she was a native of Martock, England, and was of a long-lived family. Her father died at the age of 87, her mother 98, her brother (accidentally killed) 72, her sister 68, making their united ages 412 years. So she died at 87 - born circa 1805.
She emigrated to Van Diemen's Land [now Tasmania] with Captain Langdon of Montacute 55 years before her death [c1837].
I am hoping to find out more about her family in Martock.

Hello Marcie
I notice you have Reid, Steele, Kirkwood, Smith in your Scottish names. Have you any interest in Rev. Mungo REID 1838-1924, Janet Johnstone KIRKWOOD 1774-1844 m Thomas HART at Greenock 1798,  Smiths from Kerry Argyleshire 1760-1790?
Our ancestor Mary SMITH c1762-1836 married John STEEL at Greenock 1788. Their son James 1792-1858 married Mary HERON at Greenock 1825. Her sister Janet HERON married W Mungo REID, father of above.
