Cork / Re: James Ost Burial, 1829, St Mary's , Cork.

Thank you for that info, Mary.

I had rather given up on this James Ost burial, as getting nowhere ! But I will do as you suggest and see if I can solve the question regarding the approx. age of James Ost. If, and when, I find it I will post it here.
Many thanks,

Kilmeny

Thank you, Rick.

That's what I've been thinking for years now, but I was hoping someone might know something that I haven't yet discovered, about that family, which would give me a clue regarding his origin.
There is a possibility in Beds. I seem to remember.......will have to get my brain back in gear and pick up where I left off in despair !

Thanks again.............Kilmeny

Lanarkshire / Re: Look up request at Mitchell or Edinburgh

I have managed to solve this puzzle , so no longer require anyone to do the look-ups now. One of the names listed was the right one.

Thank you, if you were considering adding these searches to your list for your next visit to the Mitchell Library.

For Dob 7,

How did you find the Pawlyn Baps., please? I have had a quick hunt, but wonder how you accessed the St Andrew, Plymouth records.

Looking for any other children of this Jn. and Eliz.
Thank you.........Kilmeny

No, that's fine ! In some ways just to know that someone else can't come up with the answers either, is reassuring for me. I have been gnawing away at this for nearly 20 years, so to imagine it all to be solved like magic, in a flash, would be foolish.
There will come a breakthrough eventually, as more and more records are made available online, I suppose. In the meantime I'll have to attempt to crack some of the other sticking points in my family !

I will follow up that last bit of info you sent, though, and see what else I can find regarding that name. [ There were Parlby's in that part of Devon, but I haven't found them to be connected so far. They seemed to have been far more aristocratic !]

Thanks for your contributions.

Thank you Dob 7, ........but without wanting to seem ungrateful, I do have exactly same info..( and sorry but I miss-spelt Pawlby in the heading - didn't check before posting ! )

I asked everyone I work with to write down the word Pawlby, as I spoke it , in order to get as many variations of spellings as poss. But , having researched them all I still can't find any other relevant info.
As you say, it is a VERY unusual name ...but maybe someone out there could think up some new alternative spellings ? Now, there's a challenge !

My Gt Gt G'father was Cornelius Pawlby, a senior draughtsman at Devpt. dockyard.

Hertfordshire / STRINGER/STRINGALL Family of Harpenden
« on: Thursday 12 May 11 17:44 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find the marriage for a Joseph Stringall/Stringer/ Stringle and a Mary ( unknown ) in the Harpenden area prior to 1776.
They were the parents of my ancestor, Joseph Stringall ( later recorded as Stringer ) who was Bapt. in Harpenden on 6.10.1776. This Joseph later moved to, and lived rest of his life in , Standon.

I don't need info after1800, as that has already been dealt with.
He might have come from a family connected with paper-milling.....as in Standon.

Is anyone else researching this family ?

All help gratefully recieved.
Many thanks...........Kilmeny.

Devon / FERRARO family of Stoke Damerel
« on: Thursday 12 May 11 17:32 BST (UK)  »
While I am 'here' I will add a request for any info. regarding a Sabatiello Ferraro, who arrived in Devonport in time to marry Elizabeth Williams in 1809
( East Stonehouse), from his native Naples.
He allegedly joined Nelson's Navy, and then remained based in UK.

It is his life before 1809 that I am desperate to learn about.....his dob, parents etc. etc.
Probably no-one knows.......but someone just might have a clue or two. I don't really need any info post 1809 as I have him fairly well tidied up !

Thank you for any help......Kilmeny

Devon / Origin of PAWLYBY/ PALBY family of Stoke Damerel ?
« on: Thursday 12 May 11 17:22 BST (UK)  »
I am researching my Pawlby/Palby ancestors of Stoke Damerel, and wonder whether anyone knows where they originated from, prior to ' turning up ' in S. Devon?

The earliest member was a John Pawlby , born around 1795, and who married Elizabeth Lee, 17.2.1814, in Stoke Damerel.
I have no clues at all to link this John to any other group of Pawlby/Paulby/Palby's , so no idea of his birth details.
Can anyone help. please ?

Many thanks, in anticipation..............Kilmeny
