melb,

Many thanks for your reply regarding Richard (1811) and Francis Gardiner (1826). It does look as though they were brothers but why the large 15 year gap in their ages. Were there possibly other children that didn't survive in the interim. I would very much like to receive the certificate for Francis and Jane. Unfortunately I won't be home until the weekend so any replies will have to wait until then.

Many thanks again and I look forward to receiving the certificate.

Bye for now.

Berkshire / Gardiner Family, Ashampstead
« on: Friday 07 August 09 17:26 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I am a newcomer here and I am interested in the Gardiner family of Ashampstead. Please bear with me here while I explain. My great grandmother was one Agnes Gardiner Thresher and I know that she was born, shock horror, on the wrong side of the blanket in 1866 in Goring, Oxfordshire. Her birth certificate lists her mother as one Ellen Thresher but the fathers name is crossed out but the partial name is still legible as 'Willia'.

Now, Agnes Thresher can be traced as a 'boarder' in the 1871 census living with a family called Gardiner. The head of this family is one Richard Gardiner (1811, Ashampstead) and, although not at home in 1871, he has a son called William Gardiner (1847, Wokingham) who is the most likely candidate as the father of Agnes. William Gardiner marries Ellen Thresher in 1875 in Middlesex and they can be found in the 1881 census together with Agnes Thrasher (sic) and William's widowed mother, Fanny Gardiner (nee Sims).

I'm sorry if that was rather verbose and convoluted but my question is this.

The previous discussion here was regarding a Francis Gardiner and Jane Pyke. As both Francis (1826) and Richard Gardiner (1811) were from Ashampstead, is it possible that they could have been brothers. I know that Richard's father was also called Richard Gardiner and that his wife's name was Mary and this seems to fit in with the info I've gleaned from the previous discussion, particularly from Vicwinann that Francis's father and mother were also Richard and Mary. If Richard and Francis were siblings then William Gardiner was my 2 x great-grandfather and Richard was my 3 x great-grandfather.

Can anyone help me confirm or refute the link between Richard (1826) and Francis (1811).

Many thanks.

Anita,

Many thanks for replying to my message. I've had a reply from my contact in Vancouver and he found that William George Wyborn was married twice. The first marriage was to one Annie Kidd (1883, Glasgow) on 19/11/1914 at the First Presbyterian Church, Vancouver.

Annie dies on 25/2/1925 and is buried in the Mountain View Cemetery, Vancouver. As we already know, William then marries Margaret Dyker on 24/6/1926 at St. Margarets, Vancouver. William dies in 1950 and Margaret in 1974. I don't know where William George is buried but I am guessing that, as Margaret is buried in Mountain View Cemetery, he will be as well.

The informant at Margarets death is a son-in-law so William and Margaret may have had a daughter. Unfortunately, I don't have the son-in-laws name to hand at the moment but I will ask my contact if he can find any Wyborn births in Vancouver c1926-1930 that can be attributed to William and Margaret?

Will be in touch again soon.

AGMacD,

I read with great interest, the reference to William George Wyborn who married Margaret Dyker in Vancouver in 1926. William George Wyborn was my 4th cousin 3 times removed. He was born in Moat Sole, Sandwich, Kent on 24/6/1885 and died in Vancouver, British Columbia on 8/4/1950 but, until I found your posting here, I didn't know whether he had married or not.

I am in contact with another Wyborn cousin in Vancouver and will see if he can trace the marriage certificate to see if William George's father was one William Wyborn of Northbourne, Kent (1851-1927).

Bye for now.
