Thanks this is worth investigating

John was born in 1826 so this might fit. Did you manage to find birth details from Ireland - if so, how? I am failing with every search I try.

Armed Forces / Regiments based in Hull
« on: Sunday 11 September 05 10:06 BST (UK)  »
I'm in the initial stages of trying to trace which part of the armed forces my ancestor George Grayburn was in ( He appears as a chelsea pensioner on 1851 census)

He lived in Hull 1789 - 1850+ and his son, John was born in Ireland. I understand there was a garrison in the Drypool area. Were particular regiments attached here? I'm not very knowledgeable about army organisation so any help gratefully received.

thanks

Thanks again

Yes I had considered that they were not married.  I had not seen the Hull directory from 1817, but had come across John Grayburn sailmaker in a later directory.

I am interested in Thomas because of the possible army link - George appears in 1851 census as a Chelsea Pensioner.

I have had no luck on 1837 so far, but I will keep checking.

cheers

Thanks for this and for taking the time to look

I have tried all these sources and found the same records, but these are not the right Georges and Johns, I'm afraid. I am busy building a picture of all the Grayburns and Greyburns and Graburns in the Hull area to try to make links between the various branches of the family to hope some clue emerges.c
I will double check 1837.com, but unless their records have been updated, I'm pretty sure they are not there either.

I have hit a brick wall and cannot find the time right now to check out the records offices in Hull or Dublin, (where John was born.)

Thanks again

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) Lookup Requests / John Grayburn marriage
« on: Saturday 10 September 05 11:24 BST (UK)  »
seeking  details of John Grayburn's marriage to Jane Duncan
In 1851 census they lived in Chapel Street, Hull.

John was born in Ireland 1826 - with his Dad being George Grayburn and mother possibly Bridget. John's first child Edward was born c1846.

I am also seeking marriage details for George to Mary Gordon from Somerset again Holy Trinity/St Mary's area of Hull, between 1830 - 1841.

thanks

Somerset Lookup Requests / Mary Gordon ( c1803)
« on: Thursday 01 September 05 22:28 BST (UK)  »

I am seeking information on Mary Gordon born about 1803 in Somerset ( I believe Bath). She later married George Grayburn in Hull. - One snippet of information I have suggests she may have had an illegitimate daughter, Charlotte, born around 1822.   

George had connections with Ireland and may have been in the armed forces. I cannot trace their marriage in Hull.

Any suggestions
