London and Middlesex / Re: cant find birth record :o(

Hi Victor
Yes, you were right Sarah Loeber Dec 1844 in Westminster is correct.

I replied and offered to help 'Sharon' myself with her Loeber's back in 2008 but, she has not been active on Rootschat since 2007 !
so this is why I tried to help 'epona100' with her enquiry as I have all the Loeber data to hand.

I have a direct connection through Conrad & Sarah Loeber's son William Henry's Marriage and worked extensively years ago with two other descendants on this line so my data has been proved by numerous certificates and other records.
Your details regarding Adam and Elizabeth's children and second daughter Hannah Loeber differ somewhat.
Their children were, Conrad, Mary Ann, Hannah, Richard & William.
Hannah never married,  she had two illegitimate children possibly both by Michael Attannasis (he was living nearby on the 1841 Census) although on all later Censuses she refers to herself as a widow.   You also mention Michael's attack later on Hannah which was documented on Times Digital.
Her daughter Anne E. had one son Robert S. Loeber (I have his colourful history) and died about a year after his birth.
Daughter Sarah married in 1865 to Henry John Thompson and they had six children.

Heraldry Crests and Coats of Arms / Re: Kennedy's Armorial, Dublin
« on: Tuesday 21 February 12 16:32 GMT (UK)  »
Hello David
Many thanks for your kind and helpful response regarding the Chief Herald's Office and Burkes.
I did some more searching on Google last night and, also discovered that a Genealogical/Heraldic Research Company (Achievements) in Canterbury, Kent, had produced a facsimile reprint in 1967 of Patrick Kennedy's Book of Arms from 1816.....  I had found a copy of this book listed as being for sale on an English book dealer's website.   I immediately wrote to the dealer and they replied this morning to say it had been sold last autumn and that the old ad should have been removed.   I knew it was too good to be true !
Anyway,  I then decided to contact Achievements directly (from their website discovered they do professional research including tv programme work) enquiring whether this book is still available or if they would be prepared to do a 'search' to answer my questions also stating I was an experienced researcher myself, back nine generations on my own Sweetlove line............  so now I am waiting for another reply.
If they cannot help me I will definitely contact the Chief Herald's Office in Dublin as my next step.   
Your help was much appreciated.
regards,

Heraldry Crests and Coats of Arms / Kennedy's Armorial, Dublin
« on: Sunday 19 February 12 12:48 GMT (UK)  »
SWEETLOVE Coat of Arms listed in Kennedy’s Armorial,  Dublin.

Hope there is someone out there who can give me some advice on how to proceed with a search to indentify the individual ‘SWEETLOVE’   -    who/whether he was one of the Irish Sweetlove’s or where he came from/when and what he did to become knighted and,  listed in Kennedy’s Armorial,  Dublin.
Is it possible to discover when and how he was awarded his knighthood but, also so that I can research just where his Sweetlove origins/ descendancy are and, obviously if there are any connections to our large English tree.
Would the Chief Herald’s Office in Dublin answer this kind of enquiry ? 

I was sent a copy of the page with the original drawings of the Arms by a cousin (now deceased)  twelve years ago whilst researching my Sweetlove tree.
Being so interested years ago I had a copy of the Description and the Armorial Shield painted for me by a Heraldic Artist……
I do know I cannot claim it to be mine !

Thanks for reading this !

Glamorganshire / Re: Thomas Merrells Mayor of Swansea 1915-1916

Hi Pat
Was your Grandfather Sydney b. 9 Feb 1897 d. Aug 1986, the son of Thomas Arthur marr to Kate Morgan ?
If you have checked through all the messages you will see that our connection is not on the Swansea branch who are all descended from
William Merrells b. 1834 in Colchester, ESS, the English Mariner who died in Guyana, South America and married Elizabeth Ann Jones of Swansea.   
William's father was Joseph Merrells 1806-1894 and his father John Merrells 1765-1848.
Joseph was a younger brother of one of our Gt Grandfather's.
I have done a lot of work researching and adding in this Welsh branch to our tree !
If you are interested contact me directly.
Best wishes,
Sandra

Hi Aroha
Yes,  I have been researching the FAIRBRASS name for many years now.
Our family is from the Canterbury area in Kent and although your names do not immediately ring any bells for me,  we are all connected however distantly.
There is an official One-Name-Study for FAIRBRASS/FARBRACE var.  run by John O'Shea,   I will also pass this message onto him for you, but,  you really need to contact me directly..........
Click on my name 'Allesandra' and my profile page will come up,  you can then send me a personal message and give me your email address.
Regards,
Sandra

Hi Tom
I have read through this Merrells thread with interest and, wonder whether you have managed to find a connection yet ?   
to link your Gt. Grandfather William John Merrells to this Welsh branch  -  headed by William Merrells b. 1834 in Colchester, ESS, the Mariner who died in South America and was married to Eliz Ann Jones of Swansea.   
William's father was Joseph Merrells 1806-1894 and his father John Merrells 1765-1848.
Joseph was a younger brother of one of our Gt Grandfather's.
regards,
Sandra
