Dublin / Re: Flood families in Dublin - 1840's
« on: Wednesday 22 July 09 03:34 BST (UK)  »
It probably isn't of much use to you but I have a Maria Josephine Flood amongst my ancestors. She appears to have been born in Dublin in 1858 and was married to Charles Kohler (also known as Carl Kohler), and lived in Phibsborough until at least 1940.

The couple had children by the names of Marie, Gabriel, Ida, Olivia, Otto, Ambrosius, Adelaine, Raphael and Attilia Kohler.

Please do get in touch if you can place any of these in your tree.

Hello,
Are you sure that the children were born in Chesterton?  There are these two christenings on the IGI (extracted from records), parents are John and Mary Eve, Histon is right next to Impingotn:

   1. John Eve  -  Gender: Male Christening: 28 JAN 1710 Histon, Cambridge, England
   2. William Eve -  Gender: Male Christening: 21 DEC 1712 Histon, Cambridge, England

Yes, those two are mine and were indeed born in Chesterton. I discovered this from local records - by pure luck I live close by and once lived in Chesterton itself, though just as my luck will have it, I left a couple of months before discovering that my roots were in the place!

I can only imagine that Mary Disbrow came from Impington or Histon - hence her marriage in Impington - and it was this which influenced her decision to have her first two children baptised there. They were only a labouring family and in those days of settlement certificates perhaps she wanted her children's security to be rooted in the area of her own family????  :-\

I have identified this lot as being Mary's children:

JOHN EVE 1710 –     
WILLIAM EVE 1712 –     
ELIZABETH EVE 1714 –     
RICHARD EVE 1714 –     
JOSEPH EVE 1720 –     
JACOB EVE 1722 –     
SARAH EVE1724 –     
ALICE EVE 1726 –     
JAMES EVE 1728 –

Thank you all so much for your advice and help - I'm ever so grateful.

I am seeking any information or connections with my several times Great Grandmother, Mary DISBROW. All I know is that she married John EVE in Impington, Cambridge, in 1709 and that their children were born in Chesterton, Cambridge.

I know that there are/were Disbrows out there in Cambridge and in nearby Haddenham so if anyone has any info I would be very grateful to hear it. Equally I would be grateful to hear of the Eve family of Cambridge (principally Chesterton) and of Soham in Cambs.
