do you know Tina Hansen. she must be related to you as she is from the Armstrong line and is also picking up on this thread

I have passed on most of my information on your line to her and the connection to the Wheeler family.

She is very knowledgable about the Armstrong line and has sent me a lot of documents.

if you pm me i can give you an e-mail adress for me and her

not sure what you are looking for

If you google "george chartres" Shaw the book no midwifery should come up which is on line

iy you google just "george chartres" and look at the australian references there is one that mentions that the george chartres in australia was the son of george chartres surgeon and letitia booker

in burkes 1862 on-line under gentleman it records the marriage of letita chartres daughter of george chartres md (doctor of medicine) to robert gentleman

in the dublin treble almanacs george chartres is recorded as a surgeon in jervis st.

in the irishfreeman journal records the marriage of eliza chartres daughter of george chartres surgeon of abbey st to william shaw of abbey st

i am interested in the George Chartres b 1851 mentioned in Burke's family history
I am still piecing it together as far as i can figure out two of his daughters are related to my side
An Eliza Chartres married William Shaw of Abbet st in 1810
An Sarah Chartres married a James Wheeler about 1800 (exptrapolated from family letter which indicates that the Rev George B Wheeler son of James and Sarah Wheeler married Charlotte Shaw daughter of Eliza and William Shaw

another son George ended up being transported to New South Wales Australia in 1811 for larceny but returned in about 1820
George Chartres surgeon (incorrect in Burkes) wrote a book on Midwifery he married Letitia Booker

i am mainly looking for the wheeler side so information on the marriage of james and Sarah Wheeler would be helpful as would the baptism details of George Chartres children
another daughter letitia married a robert gentleman

from previous post i am hoping to find the tie-in to the rev oliver wheeler who married Martha Baker.
I found an internet reference which suggested that they had children Francis Wheeler and Oliver Wheeler, Elinor and Margaret Wheeler who married Edward Fennell

I have noticed your connections to Francis Wheeler of Ballywire. Have any of you traced back the ancestors of Francis Wheeler.
Currently it is my belief that  Francis Massey Wheeler who married Anna Doyle who was the son of Francis Wheeler who married Elizabeth Arthur who was the son of Francis Wheeler who married Elizabeth Massey
This is where it gets a bit sketchy
This Francis wheeler was posssibly the son of Oliver Wheeler and Martha Baker (When Oliver died Martha remarried Joseph Cuffe)
Oliver Wheeler would have been the son of Francis Wheeler who married Maria Tighe who was son of Oliver Wheeler who married Elizabeth Weldon who was son of Dr Jonah Wheeler Bishop of Ossory who died in 1640.
Martha Baker was either the daughter or grand daughter of Walter Baker of Ballywire which is where The Wheeler family possibly came to posses Ballywire.

Anybody know if this is correct.

What i am really trying to track down is whether there is a link into my Dublin based Wheeler family.
I am related to the Rev George Bomfforde Wheeler born in 1805 who was the 2nd editor of the Irish Times, 3 weeks after its foundation. He was originally called George Baker Wheeler but later changed his name. He also probably had a brother a William James Cuffe Wheeler. The Cuffe and Baker names would tend to indicate a link to this family. The Bomford's were also a prominent Tipperary family who married into the Massy family at one stage.

All help would be greatly appreciated.

Out of interest there is also a book in our family written by a Sir George Wheler in about 1680 regarding his travels in Greece. This book was first signed in 1732 by a Jacob Wheeler, then subsequently by a George Wheeler, James Wheeler and then the Rev George Bomfforde Wheeler.
I have not been able to find any link to the Wheler family which has an extensive pedigree
