Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / Re: LEEF/LEAF family of Portsea
« on: Thursday 29 December 11 20:04 GMT (UK)  »
Hi hoobaloo,

Re: Elizabeth christened 20-8-1826

I do not have an Elizabeth recorded with this family.  Based on the list she was christened the same day as her brother Charles.  I have not found her anywhere.  Given her christening the same day as her brother, I also checked the source microfilm for St Mary's Baptisms, loaned to the local LDS Family History Centre, and did not find her.

Do you have a source for her?

Regards Peter

Northamptonshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1851 Census for Francis Hollis Woods

I am unfamiliar with the geography of ENGLAND.  Is St Nicholas College, Lancing, Sussex at or near, near New Shoreham?  Francis Hollis WOODS attended St Nicholas College, Lancing from Jan 1849 to Jun 1853.  George Edmund WOODS was about 11 years younger, and attended from May 1859 to Dec 1862.  Their parents Francis Benjamin WOODS and Maria WOODS (nee HOLLIS) are buried at St Botolph's, Heene Cemetery, Worthing, Sussex, ENGLAND; along with a few other relatives.  Francis Benjamin Woods died 12 May 1887, and Maria WOODS (nee HOLLIS) died 19 Nov 1886.

Would you have any information about the previous generation of WOODS's?  I believe Francis Benjamin WOODS's father was one Benjamin WOODS, and his mother Lucy WOODS (nee WHITE).

Francis Hollis WOODS was the eldest child of Francis Benjamin WOODS and Maria WOODS (nee HOLLIS).  Francis Hollis WOODS, his wife Anne Catherine WOODS (nee TAYLOR) and his brother George Edmund WOODS (my great grand father) emmigrated to NEW ZEALAND, arriving on the "Pegasus" 19th September 1866 at Auckland, NZ.  Francis Hollis WOODS, and family later emigrated, and settled at Uralla, New South Wales, AUSTRALIA.  The two brothers had attended St Nicholas College, Lancing, as young boys, which would explain your earlier post, about Francis Hollis WOODS.  Francis Hollis WOODS was a Doctor/Surgeon, the same as his father.  George Edmund WOODS ended up a teacher, and remained in NEW ZEALAND, and ended up producing a large family of descendents, including myself!  Another brother Benjamin Percy WOODS is thought to have arrived in Melbourne, AUSTRALIA in 1881, but little is known about him.  He was a Civil Engineer.  As a wild generalisation, I am of the understanding that the other boys in the family remained in ENGLAND, and were lawyers, and that the girls were  spinisters.  I have more information/details if you need it.  What is your interest or connection?

New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: WYATT William died Hamilton West 1904

Gosh, it is almost a year since I posted here.  For some reason the notification of your post, went to my spam folder.  It was just luck that I actually checked the spam folder and saw it, as usually I tend to forget to check spam, and items get automatically ditched!

Since my post, I have done quite a bit of work on the NOY's, and the ancestory of James NOY in Cornwall ENGLAND.  I was suprised how much was available. 

I would still be interested in exchanging anything, that might be of interest, so let me know.  Although I have since filled in  many of the gaps abbout the NOY's in NZ, many still remain.

Some where you mentioned NOY's in AUSTRALIA.  I assume it was William Henry NOY and Mahala (nee BOLITHO), buried at Blackwood WESTERN AUSTRALIA.  Would you have any information on their descendents?  I am assuming that he is the same William Henry NOY, a full brother to James NOY; but have found nothing so far that explicitly verifies the connection, or their settling in Australia.

Hi Kiwi007,
I have not used this before, so basically dont know how it all works! 

I am a great grandchild of Ruth Matilda WYATT and James NOY.  I would be interested in receiving any information you have on the 5 (actually 6) NOY children.  I have some firstnames, and married names for some of them, from my mother, but little else.

Regards
