« on: Tuesday 04 December 18 13:19 GMT (UK)  »

Cornwall Lookup Requests / Re: John DENNIS, who are you?

HI

I have found a document on Findmypast which is declaration from the said John Dennis, along the lines.....

" I John Dennis of Queen Street, Devonport, .....Rigger in her Majesty's Dock Yard here do solemnly and sincerely declare that I cannnot procure a certificate of my baptism or Register of my birth and that I have neither father or mother living, but that from what I have always heard, understood and believed I was born at St Columb in the County of Cornwall on or about the fifteenth day of October one thousand eight hundred and twenty six and that I shall not attain my age....."

This was signed 1/5/1860 - which i would guess would be the prerequisite to him marrying Mary Elliott.

Essex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Blackmore, Navestock, Laindon PRs - can anyone help please?

Hi

I've just come across this family as I'm researching on behalf of friends who are descended from Elizabeth Ann Stone (1834).

I had found the other 3 children (including George, who died), but I wondered if you'd managed to discover anything further.

Elizabeth first married James Wright and then Charles Sneezem.

Thanks

Stephanie

Hi

I have just come across your query about Glynperfedd and the "Morgan" family.

Assuming I've got it right, this was one of the most awkward bits of patronymic/surname mixing I've come across.

E-mail me directly on * and I'll see if I can help you out if you haven't yet got there yourself.

best wishes

Stephanie

Bedfordshire / Re: DONNE - Houghton Regis

Hi

I have just come across tis thread and have also got as far as discovering that the Misses Hazlehurst were the nieces of an Edward Knight of Milton Ernest.

However, I can't find anything more about them as yet.

I can tho' help with the Donne family.

Dinah and Martha married 2 siblings - sons of Matthew Donne (or Dunn)
and Ann Bowen. They were from the Llandow area of Glamorgan and Matthew senior was a schoolmaster in Cowbridge.
There also seem to be links with St Donats.

John William Donne (Mary's husband) was a second cousin of the brothers and they settled in the Morriston area of Swansea (one son was John KNIGHT Dunn; another Jasper Haslehurst Dunn).

Hope this is helpful

Devon Lookup Requests / Re: RIDGWAY - Lookup request marriage, death, anything!
« on: Thursday 03 July 08 15:53 BST (UK)  »
Hi

Don't know if you've got anywhere with Sam's siblings - thought I'd offer what I've found in the past - you should probably check it tho' - as it's all quite distant for me!

Elizabeth (1838) married Henry Vickery in 1854 - I've found 7 kids, many born in Spaxton. THink she died in Bridgwater aged 47 in 1881.

John married Ann Bartholomew, had 5 kids in and around Bridgwater.

William married Jane ?, died 1879 Bridgwater with 4 kids.

Sarah Ann (1847) - there are a few possible marriages, but haven't been able to find her under a married name.

Hope that gives you some foof for thought.

Best wishes

Just found this conversation - hello everyone!

I had Oliver in my tree already - tho' knew nothing about what a fascinsating life he seems to have led!

Anyway, just to introduce myself.I am descended from Samuel's uncle Thomas Ridgway (1806 - 1872).

Sam's dad was William (1815 - ?) and he and brother Thomas were 2 of 10 kids born to Jacob Ridgway and Jane Bray.

I have a vast Ridg(e)way tree which seems to originate in north Devon and meanders into Somerset and into South Wales.

Am happy to share info if you'd like.

Anyway - good luck with your hunt.

Best wishes
