Susannah PONTIN
« on: Saturday 12 November 05 20:26 GMT (UK) »
Looking for information re: Susannah Pontin born October 29, 1757 died October 31 1817. Daughter of William Pontin and Susannah Bastarr. Susannah had at least two base born children Joseph Ponting born 1786 and Henry Harding Ponting born 1779 died 1835. Henry Harding Ponting is my 3rd. Great Grandfather. I would like to try and identify the Father(s) of Henry and Joseph. I am told it was quite common for Mothers to give their base born child their Father's name as a middle name. In Susannah's case her Grandmother was a Harding. Family lore(unreliable) has it that Susannah was a Governess for the Marquess of Ailesbury who had a liason with a visiting Spanish Count(perhaps this was an attempt to mask the embarrassment of an illegitimate child). Any help or directions to sources would be appreciated.

hi gretchen
i know ths is an old post but it came up whilst looking up something of my own. i have been trying to locate the whereabouts of the sister to one of my ancestors. and i saw your posting. her name was Lydia Ruth Shearn and seh was born in 1833. paretns Jacob Shearn and Mary Grimmett. my ancestor was her brother also Jacob. as far as i can see there were only 3 siblings. Jacob, Mary and Lydia Ruth. after seeing your posting wondered whether as an adult she ahd dropped the Lydia bit. might explain why i cant find any record fo her than her baptism

Do you have any connection?

Old post I know but I am also researching this line as my grandmother was Victoria Agatha May Ponting.

The info I have is:-

Suzannah Ponting
Henry Harding Ponting - Rachel Edwards
William Ponting - Elizabeth Wyatt
James Ponting - Sarah Anne Thatcher
William Ponting - Mary Ashton
Victoria Agatha May Ponting

I do not have all the certificates for these people as yet so some of my research may be incorrect.

If anyone has any more information then please let me know

I haven't checked this chat for some time. I would be interested in any information you have for the Pontin(g) line. I have now focused my research on Susannah Pontin b1757 d1817. Susannah had two baseborn sons(Henry Harding Ponting and William Ponting) Some of her son's descendants reverted to the Harding(e) surname. Susannah apparently was in the employ of the Marquess of Aylesbury at Tottenham court(present Earl I see in the news is having financial difficulties). I have checked online summaries of Aylesbury papers and came across some correspondence mentioning a George Hardinge and thought that there may be a connection to my 3rd. Great Grandfather Henry Harding Ponting. There appears to be no mention of significance of Tottenham staff. My research is on Ancestry as PontingsCanada(July2014).

Victoria Agatha May Ponting appears to be a 3rd. cousin.
Suzannah Ponting is 4th. Great Grandmother
Henry Harding Ponting mentioned earlier(is my 3rd. Great Grandfather, he had children with Anne Ponting). Henry Hardings Pontings Grandfather (William Pontn m Susannah Baster is Anne Pontings 2nd. Great Grandfather. Anne does have an interesting past. I can find no record of Anne Ponting formalizing her marriage to Henry Harding Ponting. If anyone has more information please post here.
