Armed Forces / 86th Foot Regiment
« on: Sunday 15 August 10 06:22 BST (UK)  »
Can anybody help me to find the serevice record of somebody who served with the 86th Foot regiment from the 1860's through to the early 1890's
I am looking for William James Markey
1911 census shows he was born in 1845 to Irish parents in Karachi, India, he was married to a Margaret Hillery who was born 1852 in South Africa, Margaret was a British subject so i am assuming her parents were in the forces and stationed in SA
Their children were born in Nova Scotia and The West Indies in the early 1880's
I know Williams Father was James Markey and when William remarried in the 1890's after his 1st wifes death, his fathers occupation was given as a soldier, i am assuming he was aslo in the 86th Foot
I have had no luck on the ususal sites looking for Wiliams birth in 1845 or his marriage to Margaret, i thought all Military marriages and births were recorded, i cannot find any of their childrens birth records either,
would be grateful for some pointers as to how i take this forward

Jim

i wouldnt take any notice fo the Buckland connection, i have seen the complete parish transcripts and there is notihng in there about mark and Elizabeth

Elizabeth did not know where she was born in the 1851 census taken in Frimley

you are correct with Mark and Sarahs children, they also had a daughter called Matilda, she married Samson Hoadley and shows up travelling alongside other Parkers in Washington rd Cheam in 1881 and in Woking in later census returns

their son Frederick, born Colnbrook 1851 Colnbrook near Hayes Middlesex was my Paternal Great Grand Father

if you would like some fo the records i will happily email them to you if you let me have your address

regards

a later census has her born in Cahill in Kent

i havent seen the Dixon tree, will have peep at it

I have never found Marks seniors brother Henry although i do have records of his other brothers and sisters, Frederick, James, Job and Matilda

i have some good stuff on Sarah and Mark if you let me have your email, newspaper cuttings, original baptisms and a marriage certificate together with census records for 1871 and 1881, Mark died in Epsom in 1866 but no sign of him living with Sarah at this time, i found him as a witness to his daughter Matildas wedding in the early 1860's in Barking

i cant believe how many hits this subject has had

Definitely Henry Ayres as the father of the bride

Mark Parker as father of the Groom

you can find it on www.familysearch.org or get a certificate by using www.freebmd.org.uk

chidren i found on the census returns were

Mark born 1868 Redhill
John 1870 East Grinstead
Leonard 1875 Cheam
Mary Ann 1875 Cheam (twins?)
William 1877 Cheam
Sarah 1880 Kent
Fred 1891 Cheam
Louisa 1883 Cheam
Dela 1886 Cheam
Alice 1888 Cheam

Alice Ayres was born in about 1845 at Hadlow near Tunbridge wells in kent

hope this is useful

Hi there

the only record i have of Carey's marrying into the Parkers that i know is Annie Carey, born 1887 Bisley, Surrey

Married my Great Uncle Joseph Parker

they are in the 1911 Census, living on Chobham Common in a tent

Joe later sold wood from a house in Bagshot

i did notice that there always seemed to be Carey's, Mathews and Penfold families living nearby whenever i did find the very elusive travelling Parkers

hope this is useful

i have at last found out the roots of Mark Parker, i have his baptism record from Ashford in Middlesex in 1841, funny thing is there is nothing in BMD

I know that his parents were my GG grandparents, Mark and Sarah Parker

Mark born 1819 Ash Common to travelling chimney sweep Mark Parker and his wife Elizabeth, they were living in a caravan at Longerend farm, Ash

I cannot find any record of Mark or Elizabeths births, i did find Elizabeth in the 1851 census living in Frimley next door to her daughter Dinah grainger (nee Parker), she died the same year, her place of birth is Unknown

Sarah and Mark or their son Mark dont turn up in any census returns until 1871, by this time Marlk senoir had died in 1866 in Epsom

Sarah was born in Frensham, Surrey in 1821 to John and Sarah Wilson, John was a "Chair Bottomer" from East Acton

Mark junior turns up in every census from 1871 to 1911 either lving in Cheam or sometimes on Epsom Common, with wife Alice and loads of kids, they had 11, 2 of which died in infancy

Mark and Alice were married in Claygate in 1865

the only other record i have of Mark Parker senior is at his daughter Matildas wedding in Barking in the 1850's, she married Samson Hoadley from a travellers family which originally came from Leicester

I have a tree for the Parkers going back to the late 1700's if anyone is interested
i have a very interesting piece from a Surrey newspaper which tells of the death of sarah from a binge drinking session, the headline is "warning to all drunkards", quite a thing from in 1882 i should think, it tells how she was taken home from the pub in Frimley on a hand cart by her daughter and left in a chair where they found her in the morning

Hi there

i am afraid you really have to be very lucky and hope they were caught in a census, if not parish records and free BMD are the only option

let me know if there is any particular person or family and i will see if i have anything on them
