  Wow! Thank you for this Susan.

I never expected anyone to come back to me with quite so much information.

Needless to say I am extremely grateful and will enjoy looking through it all at my leisure.

Kind regards,

Hi David,

You are quite welcome.

Here's the Faversham PR LDS film number 1886089, just to keep the sources sorted out properly.

Best wishes,

I am a descendant of the Charles Stephen Monger mentioned in this post, which I know is very old. This is how I am related to him:

Charles Stephen Monger (1820-1871) married Sarah Squibb Tollerfield. They had one child: Charles Stephen Monger (1844-1869) and he is my ancestor. When Sarah Squibb Tollerfield died Charles Stephen Monger (1820-1871) married Eleanor Holberton and had a number of children. He was a coastguard and lived in Dorset with his second family.

Charles Stephen Monger (1844-1869) married Mary Read. They had three children: Mary Ann Read Monger, Charles Stephen Monger (1867-1938), and Annie Amelia Monger. Charles Stephen Monger (1844-1869) was a blacksmith. He died instantly, aged 25, when he had a bad fall while walking a plank at work. I have recently gotten the brief newspaper article reporting on the inquest into his death. 

Charles Stephen Monger (1867-1938) married Louisa Ann Colston. He was a licensed victualler in Castletown, Dorset at "The Albert Inn" - now known as "The Green Shutters." They had 8 children, one of which was my great grandmother, Ivy Victoria Monger. She moved to Australia in 1919.

Please reply to this if you have further information on this branch. I have a private tree on ancestry.com.

Cheers,
Michaela

Perhaps I could correct a small mistake in Susan's (Zacktyr) first post, and add a little more detail around Charles Stephen's career.

Stephen Monger was nominated to the CG Service on 16 January 1822, with a first posting to Malhide. At the time of his appointment he was married with three living children. On 5 July 1823 he was promoted to Commissioned Boatman, then on 10 October 1823 to Chief Boatman, remaining at Malhide. It was on 23 November 1833 that he was transferred to Reculvers, from where he was superanuated on 24 August 1853 with £41 per annum.

Charles Stephen Monger was nominated to the CG service on 13 September 1842 from HMS Wellesley on her return from China, with a first posting to St Albans Head. For his service in this ship he was awarded the 1st China War Medal. He then made the following moves:

22 October 1847 to Turnchaple
25 Aug 1848 to Cawsands
11 June 1846 to Stonehouse Point
10 May 1849 to Portreath
22 May 1849 to St Agnes
23 Aug 1856 to Portland - he was still at this station in 1862.

However, during the Crimean War he was one of the 2600 CG's who served with the Fleet. He was on HMS Ajax in the Baltic, for which he was awarded the Baltic Medal.

Your information on Charles Stephen Monger's career was amazing! Thankyou for posting this to the discussion board!

I believe that two of Charles's brothers Thomas and John also joined the Navy, both entering the CG Service, although I have not yet proved the family relationship conclusively.

There are service records available online at the National Archives for both men. The Baltic medal roll again lists both men, with Thomas a serving CG at the start of the war, and John joining the CG's in January 1856, after the war was over.

Returning to Charles, I note that his transfer from Stonhouse Point, in May 1849, was as a direct result of him 'marrying a native'.

Hi Martin

My information on Charles' siblings comes entirely from this discussion board, so I couldn't confirm one way or the other whether Thomas and John were definitely Charles' brothers but I've got them in my tree right now and it certainly appears likely. Unfortunately, my research is entirely limited to the records available online at ancestry.com as I live in Australia.

I've had lots of fun looking up the medals and ships you mentioned in your previous posts!

The marriage in May 1849 would have been to Charles' second wife Eleanor Holberton so she is "the native."

This is a completely random comment, but I thought I'd mention it in case it rings any bells. For some reason it was said in my family for many years that we had German/Spanish somewhere along this branch but I've found no such thing (or on any other branches of my tree). It seems a bit odd that it would be entirely made up and I have remained slightly open to its possibility since the Mongers were coastguards. There are a few maiden names missing in the tree as it stands so I thought that might have been where it came in but I'm leaning more towards the idea that there isn't any German or Spanish at all at this point. I mean, in the 1871 census, Charles' mother Amelia has her birthplace recorded as Canterbury, Kent, so - even lacking a maiden name for her or a marriage record for her marriage to Stephen - it seems unlikely that the German or Spanish is from Amelia. As I said, a very random comment...one of my more way out lines of inquiry but I thought it was worth mentioning in case you can shed any light on the matter or help me put it to rest for good!

Michaela
