Hi
I have been still looking into the Mayer/Wedgewood connection and I am still stuck on which Obadiah Mayer I descend from I have found out that he had 3 children Ann, Mary and Samuel Mayer the china manufacturer I descend from very proud to have Ellen Mayer as my nan from Wallasey I am sure Obadiah had a brother called George and their parents were Thomas Mare and Elizabeth Holdcroft I just need to tie the threads together, where did my Mayers come from I know via the Mayer line the family they are related too The Chatfield family did actually marry into the Wedgewood family and are related to the Galton family but a few Mayers also have married Wedgewoods, all I would need is a huge spreadsheet so I can folloe this family line, there history and origins and also just make some sense of it, thanks ???

Hi Vincent
There were a couple of Obadiah Mayers born in that area at the time, my one had a son called Samuel Mayer who was a china manufacturer and he died in Bloomsbury London but he was born in the Derby area, Samuel had a sons called Enoch and George Henry and 5 sisters, Samuels wife was called mary Lees married 1811, I hope this helps

Hi all Bosanquets/Bosankoes

Thanks for all the info. I have spent more time researching this family than any
of my other family, it is a bit of a jigsaw but it is definately worth it, many thanks
to everyone

Hi Jolene
Well you have been busy, now I understand why the family fell out I know my mum spoke to Ted a bit and Sydney went to Hong Kong, I think he was in the police or fire service and died in a fire, my mum used to play with Vi and Ted used
to have a very dry sense of humour.

Stev has been a great help this has been years of research getting this family linked up but has been worth it, thanks to the internet and sites like these it has been easy to link up.

my niece went to the Northern territories so which part of NZ are you from also which woman did they both fall in love with.

If you can email me that would be great or ask Steve for my email address and are you or your family on facebook we can exchange photos, Barry Bingham is another relative he descends from Edmund who was born in Jersey.

So pleased to hear from you, I am 52 and have 5 children ranging from 27 to 12 I work as a HCA in Bath.

Looking forward to hearing from you cousin

Hi is this the Steve I already know or another Steve?
Also I think were I find I come unstuck is where they have married
more than once and also some of the children have similar names
Its interesting to see that they went to Jersey to carry on the cigar
making and also had it as a family trade, I also found a travelling
Richard Bosankoe who went ot Australia noted on passenger list
as a cigar maker but he travelled alone I know some of the Pemells
migrated there so perhaps they met up, there must be other relations
around I have been in contact with Barry which has been helpful,

So we are what percentage Cornish are we then  ???

Thanks for your time Steve

Thanks for the reply, it seems they travelled a lot and tailoring was a big feature of there trade, my nan Rosina who's mother was Elizabeth Jessy Bosankoe/Bosanquet was a Tailoress in Kentish Town but she also a singer and knew Marie Lloyd, they seem a very large family at some point, I presume this makes us some sort of cousin, I would love to know where they originated from as the name Zenobya Bosanco has cropped up.

Hi Suze thanks for your help with this, its mainly the Bosanquets in Jersey I am interested in, it does not help that they changed the spelling of there surname,they come from Bosankoes from Camelford in Cornwall there was a cigar maker called Joseph Bosankoe who went to Australia on his own and may have been part of the family, since my mum sadly passed away I have no one to refer to so many thanks for your time on this Jayne
