London and Middlesex / Re: Mixed marriages in Victorian London
« on: Monday 30 September 13 20:53 BST (UK)  »
Hello,
Many thanks for getting in touch. I do recognise the name Farthing, which means I think that youre descended from Amina Allee and William Smith, like me. I'd love to know more about your tree.

London and Middlesex / Re: Thomas and Louisa Parr; Where next to look?

Well, that helped no end. Louisa Dixon, born 1802. I now have possible parents too, so many thanks for the suggestion.

I notice that on Mary Ann's birth certificate, Thomas is listed as a cab driver. Does anyone know if there is an archive anywhere of licensed cabbies for London? I'm still trying to find his marriage to Louisa, and hopefully, pin down his birth in Liverpool.

All suggestions much appreciated.

Doh! Why didn't that occur to me? I'm an imbecile. Many thanks for that.

London and Middlesex / Thomas and Louisa Parr; Where next to look?
« on: Wednesday 24 April 13 20:06 BST (UK)  »
Hello all,

I've pretty much reached a dead end with my GGGG Grandfather Thomas Parr (b. c1801 Liverpool) and his wife Louisa (Surname unknown, b. c1803 Pentonville). I've found them in the 1841 and later census records living in St Marylebone with their children, including my GGG Grandmother Emma Parr (b. c1820 Middlesex). Thomas's occupation is listed as coachmen.

There are many Thomas Parrs born in Liverpool around the right date, but I just cannot pinpoint which is the right one, neither can I tie down Louisa. I can't find any record of Thomas and Louisa's marriage in any of the obvious places online, nor Emma's birth. Does anyone know where I might continue the search for any of these records? I'm assuming that these events happened in the St Marylebone area.

All help / suggestions welcomed, I've been banging mt head against the wall over this family for quite some time.

Many thanks, Mike.

Many thanks for that, sorry about the delay in replying.

The connection I have in my family is through Beatrice Dunstan (1887-1971)> She married an Alfred Coombs (b. 1887-?) in Deri. The family lived in Watson Row for a while.

That's all I have at this point.

Mike.

Other Countries / Re: INDIA - Indian nationals

Good idea Tony, and another possible avenue to explore. Unfortunately I have absolutely no idea where in Calcutta he came from, or for that matter, whether he was even came from the city itself or somewhere else close. I suspect we'll probably never know unless I come across some information that pinpoints his home region more closely.

Thanks for the link.
Mike.

Many thanks for the reply, that's pretty much what I expected which is a real shame. Would love to know more about that branch of the family.

Other Countries / INDIA - Indian nationals

Hi All,

My GGG Grandfather was a Culcutta -born Moslem called Abdullah Hadjee Allee. I know a lot about his life in London, he came here about 1840 and married a local girl, but I have no idea what records exist in India for births or anything else. I know his father was called Abdal Allee but that's all I have.

Do any records exist in Calcutta for native Indians (As opposed to Britons or British Indians for instance) for the early part of the 19th century?

Cornwall Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Which John DUNSTAN?
« on: Tuesday 08 September 09 11:43 BST (UK)  »
Well, the death cert proves he's the right John. Sadly it looks like he spent the last three years of his life in the County Asylum, Bridgend. His cause of death is listed as 'General paralysis of the insane'. Which I suppose means that Eliza had to cope with losing her husband to the asylum, and having three of her children die in the space of three years, before dying herself in 1912, several months before John died. Tragic stuff.
