London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Tatton marriage in Westminster
« on: Thursday 04 December 08 17:02 GMT (UK)  »
I'm looking for any information regarding James Tatton and his wife Elizabeth. James Tatton (b. 1826 Manchester) married Elizabeth (b. 1829 Newcastle Under Lyme, Staffordshire) around 1850 in Westminster. They resided in the area for about 10 years. Would love to know Elizabeth's maiden name as well as any other information available.


Any information would be appreciated!


Thank you for your time,

Ireland / Blackwell family from Ireland
« on: Saturday 29 November 08 22:01 GMT (UK)  »
I'm looking for any information regarding my Blackwell family. The earliest Blackwell that I've been able to trace is George Blackwell (b. abt. 1823 Ireland d. 1873 St. Pancras, London) and his wife Mary Honor? (b. 1821 Ireland d. aft. 1891 London). George and Mary immigrated to England @ 1850 and first settled in Edgbaston.

They had the following children:

Bridget M. b. 1844 Ireland
Patrick T. b. 1847 Ireland
Kate b. 1854 ?Handowark?
John Ernest Blackwell b. 1857 Edgbaston, Birmingham
George b. 1859 Smethwick, Staffordshire
William b. 1860 Smethwick, Staffordshire
Agnes 1862 Edgbaston, Birmingham
Eleanor 1864 Edgbaston, Birmingham

Most of the family eventually settled in the London area. My line (John Ernest Blackwell) immigrated to the U.S. and started a military school in Long Beach, California. Though John was born in England, he would claim he was Irish born.

If anyone could shed some light on the origins of my Blackwell family I would greatly appreciate it. Knowing the Blackwell name is of English origin only mystifies me more.

Thank you for your time,


Deane
