There is a woman who has posted images from the Abbey graveyard on Find A Grave.com. In her profile she mentions checking with her to see if she has images that may match your relatives. I was thrilled to see an image of Samuel Christie posted there my 3x ggf. User name: Kath~SL

Greetings Becki,

My 4xggf is Thomas Playle, of Foxearth, b. 1795. One of his children bear the Howard surname, as a middle name, "Arthur Howard Playle". I have been trying to identify any siblings of Thomas and confirm his parents. I will have to see what I can find on the Playle- Howard. If I recall Correctly there may have been a later marriage connection in the 1800's with a male Playle marrying a Howard.

Lets try to uncover what our connection may be?

Regards,
S. Lynn

Greetings Derek,

A very belated thank you for the information you provided In June of last year. It may have gone to spam because I do not recall ever seeing it until today.

I also will be checking out the link for the Black Watch Division and WWI, you provided in another post.

My ggf, Samuel Christie, was reportedly a member of that division however not for Great War but the Boar War. He fought in the US Air Corp in 1917.

Re: his Boar War service, it is noted that he was an honorary mayor of Arbroath. Is that something soldiers who served in that action received. Somewhat akin to receiving a key to the city in the USA. Do you have any knowledge of this title for post war soldiers?

Thanks Again,
S. Lynn

There are several mysteries that have evolved since I started look into Amelia Anne. I found her name in a tree posted on a personal site.
Besides the  confusing details already detailed, there are more.

The gentleman who has the tree posted had a death certificate for Amelia but the parents name are inaccurate and what looks like to me a melding of family details, surnames etc.

There is a story posted on Ancestry  for Susannah Shepard/ Doherty/ Atkins (by different folks , I presume) that further confuses the Doherty~Atkins story; when it comes to dates, details and parentage.

I don't want to mention the tree without the owners permission but it seems there may be a bit more to unravel. Earlier today I asked for permission to quote his tree for my source and received it but posting details  in a  forum may not be what gentleman is expecting. Looking at it  well rested might make things clearer.

Thank you for the additional feedback!

Thank you Bob 22, for your prompt response. Your date corresponds with the date I have for Edwin and Amelia. The addition of the church is appreciated. I have all the children for them. I am glad to have William and Mary's wedding date confirmed also.

How many sibling does William have total? Did William tow the line after his early brush with the legal system? Thanks again for the assistance !

Hi Euphem,
Husband no 2 was William Playle my ancestor who she married 1st July 1856 at Yambercollie. I have four children for them,Mary Jane ( my ancestor ), Rebecca Catherine, Amelia Ann and Rachel.
Regards Bob22

Greetings Bob,

Your posting to Euphem, helped clear up the relationship question I had on Amelia Ann. Thank you for that information. Another hypothesis I had on William was that he was the same individual that arrived on the Bengal Merchant in 1838. Another detail confirmed with your post.
There are a few Playle individuals that I am wondering if you can shed any light on .

The first is re: Samuel Playle, an ind. also sentenced to seven years (is that a standard length for certain crimes?), he was shipped off on theee 29th , July 1837 on the Susan. Arriving at Van Diemen's land. Do you know of any details on Samuel and who his parents and or siblings may be? The same question for Joseph Playle (Plail).


I know Amelia Ann married Edwin Shepard Doherty in 1887.
My research  shows two different marriage years on BDM indexes for her parents, Mary Ross and William Playle. One for 1859 and the other 1856. I am thinking the year 1856 to correct for this couple, can you confirm that? I believe the aforementioned ladies had a brother William; who was born in 1872 and died in 1872. Source from the NSW BDM; do you have knowledge of him?

Thank you in advance for assistance that you may be able to provide and to the other posters who shared helpful details on this subject.
This is my first posting to Roots Chat, please excuse any misstep I may have committed.
