Warwickshire Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Erdington (Birmingham) registers - MATHEWS - COMPLETED
« on: Tuesday 12 November 13 00:40 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

Thanks for your message. I am indeed a descendant of Albert Edwin Budd, by his daughter Rose. I haven't picked up my research for a couple of years, but my Budd research did go quite well. I am a direct descendant of Patience Budd's brother Thomas. My brick wall is on the MATHEWS/MATHERS/MATTHEWS side - I've yet to find conclusive documentation regarding the parentage of Thomas (1822-1901) Budd's first wife, Sarah Matthews (d. May 2, 1854). Any info you have in this regard would be welcome. Thanks again and best wishes, Jeannie.

Sutherland / Donald MacLeod, b. 21/02/1788 Lairg; son of Wm.
« on: Tuesday 02 August 11 23:46 BST (UK)  »
Donald Macleod died in Wilkins Grant, Pictou County, Nova Scotia, February 1869 at age 80. From death record: born Lairg, Sco. to Wm. and Nancy MacLeod, both deceased. Many searches on ScotlandsPeople later, I found the above birth record. Combined with my oral family history records, this would just about confirm that this Donald is my g.g.g.grandmothers brother.

I am looking for more information about his sisters Ellen and Christy and their parents. Ellen and Christy MacLeod are both my g.g.g.grandmothers since Ellen's daughter (Jane Robertson) married Christy's son (James Peters) in Nova Scotia Feb.17 1857; their first born was my g.g.g.grandmother Christy Peters.

Donald MacLeod: According to our oral history "A piper who was granted land in Nova Scotia (Wilkins Grant) subsequent to his participation in the 1815 defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo under general Wellington. Emigrated abt. 1817."

Ellen MacLeod: b. abt. 1795 "with her husband William Robertson and daughters Christy and Margaret emigrated to Nova Scotia in 1819 and were met and housed by Donald in Wilkins Grant until they built their own home in Glengarry, Pictou several years later."

Christy MacLeod: b. abt. 1798. Emigrated (seemingly alone) to Nova Scotia 1817-1819, married Patrick Peters May 7, 1819 Halifax Nova Scotia.

Any suggestion or lead would be much appreciated.

Tipperary / PETERS/DONAHUE from "Waterford, Tipperary" to Dublin, NS & MA
« on: Sunday 10 July 11 02:20 BST (UK)  »
Looking for information on the parents of my 4th g.grandfather, Patrick Peters: b.Ireland c.1796, died 1854 South Branch NS Canada. The following details are exerpted from a copy of a statement made by Patrick's daughter-in-law (my 3rd g.grandmother), Jane (Robertson) Peters on the 10th of June 1913 at 77 years of age:

"Patrick Peters had nine brothers (John, Charles, Tom, James...) and one sister (Margaret, married a man by the name of Butler). Patrick and his brother Charles came to Nova Scotia not far from 1816, and with them a friend by the name of Donahue. My mother-in-law used to say that the Peterses and the Donahues were friends in the old country and in this...intermarried. Patrick Peters married Christy MacLeod in Halifax and settled in South Branch, Stewiacke where they lived until after the death of Patrick Peters in 1854....Charles Peters and his friend Donahue went to Boston where Charles Peters had his own vessel of which he was Captain. Tom Peters, son of John Peters and brother of Charles and Patrick Peters who came to Nova Scotia, remained in Dublin, Ireland. About the time I was married (Feb. 17, 1857) a letter came from Tom Peters of Dublin saying that his brother Charles was reported lost at sea....after a time they (Tom Peters) went to Boston, and as they never wrote back to Nova Scotia, the family of Patrick Peters lost all trace of them also."

"Note - Patrick's father's name was John, his mother's name was Mary. They came from Waterford, Tipperary. Patrick used to call himself the youngest of ten sons."

Any info or point in the right direction would be very much appreciated.

Dublin / Re: PETERS, John and Mary of Dublin c.1800

Update - the will I received seems to be unrelated to my family. I have clues that the uncommon Peters name is most common in Tipperary, and since my 4th g-grandmother alluded to this region as being the Peters' family roots (before a move to Dublin, I presume), I will perhaps try again on a different board.

Many thanks to those who offered advice.

I hope it so - family records have this couple (John & Mary PETERS) from "Tipperary/Waterford" originally. It would seem they lived primarily in Dublin, however.

Hello Shane,

Thank you for your kind advice. For this entry on Origins.net the data given is date of grant (1815), where granted (Prerogative Court) doc type (Probate) and status (original). That last word gives me some hope as so far I have found nothing substantial on this family in Ireland; admittedly I am quite the novice in this area.

So I will fill and send the application your link led me to. I'll let you know the results, be it a match or not.

With best regards and thanks again, Jeannie

Dublin / PETERS, John and Mary of Dublin c.1800
« on: Sunday 24 April 11 02:44 BST (UK)  »
Dear Members,

I am searching for details of my PETERS family of Dublin. My 4th g.grandafther, Patrick PETERS son of John and Mary, left Ireland with his brother, Charles, about 1815 and settled in Nova Scotia, Canada. Patrick would say he was the youngest of ten sons, and a sister Margaret married a Butler in Dublin. As late as 1857 Tom PETERS of Dublin still communicated with his brother Partick in Nova Scotia.

I have found an entry for a will on origins.net for a John Joseph PETER, 1815, with a reference number (T/8113) and want to persue this lead but have no idea how to do so... can someone with experience offer some advice?

With kind thanks, Jeannie.

Hi J.J., so nice to hear from you!

I think the cold must have gone to my head - silly I got a mental block.

All the best,
Jeannie

Hi Craig,

Very sorry for the late reply. Been fighting a tough cold for the last couple of weeks.

I visited Nova Scotia for the first time ever last year and fell in love with the place. One of my reasons for visiting was research, and I was fortunate enough during my visit to the Colchester Archives in Truro to have been put in contact with a Mr. Ross Graves, a specialist in Stewiacke Valley family research. The people at the Upper Stewiacke Museum also know him. Let me try to clarify your situation based on his info, and others on NSARM:

Your Catherine Ann is the sixth child of William Robertson and Ellen McLeod. I am descendant of your GG Grandmother Catherine's sister, Jane, the youngest daughter to the couple. Jane married her cousin James Peters and settled in the Stewiacke Valley. My Jane also spelled her name as Robinson or Robison more often than Robertson when her children's births were recorded.

I can't recall how to get you my e-mail more privately but I would like to share what more I have with you. If you can figure it out first I'll hear from you, if not, I'll talk to you soon.

Jeannie
