ROYAL Family

[Royaly]

Hi,

My family of Royals come from the Brandon and Weeting areas and I have quite a lot of information on them if you are interested. I am sure that we are connected. We may be able to assist each other.

Cheers,

Ian Royal

Hi,

Just a little information for you as I knew we were connected.

Your John Royal b c 1822 who married Jane Jessup was actually the illegitimate  son of Ann Royal and John Jewell and was born on 4th November 1821 in Brandon at the home of his grandparents John and Mary Royal nee Johnson . He married Jane Jessup in Brandon on 13th June 1846.

Ann Royal, born about 1803 in Weeting, was a bit of a girl and had another illegitimate child, this time a daughter Sophia Royal born in Brandon on 15th May 1824 to a man called David Hammond.

Ann actually went on to marry a man called George Adams in Brandon on 17th September 1826 and went on to have at least 9 children.

She is the elder sister of my great, great, great grandfather William Royal born about 1805.

I have copies of Settlement Orders and Bastardy Orders relating to this which I will gladly send to you if you would like them.

Cheers,

Ian

This is all very interesting and thank you for getting in touch.  I've been scratching my head about John Royal and Jane Jessup for ages.  They seemed to have had a large family and everytime I try to work out how many children they had and their names, I get hopelessly confused!  I also could not work out who John's parents were, so it makes sense that he was born out of wedlock.  Any further information you can give me would be very gratefully received!

Hi,

I have a lot of information relating to Brandon: Census returns 1841 all the way to 1901 and Parish records on Microfiche (some have been transcribed into Excel documents). Obviously a lot on the Royals as well.
John and Jane did have a lot of children but what does not help us is the fact that they had some of them baptised twice! I hunted for ages looking for deaths and burials of some of the children as later ones appeared to be born and given the same names. Only to discover that as far as I can tell from all of the records they had the following children:
Mary Ann Royal Abt. June 13, 1847 (Baptism) and (1851 Census) (1861)
Thomas Royal Abt. March 22, 1848 (Baptism) and (1851 Census)(1861)
John Royal Abt. 1850 (Free BMD) and (1851 Census)(1861)
James Royal Abt. February 22, 1852 (Baptism) also (Abt. October 2, 1853)(1861 census)
Emma Royal Abt. May 22, 1855 (Baptism) also (Abt. January 6, 1856)(1861 census)
Isaac Royal Abt. March 8, 1857 (Baptism)also (Abt. December 28, 1862)(1861 census)
Jane Royal Abt. March 6, 1859 (Baptism)
William Royal (1861 census aged 2 years)
Ellen Royal Abt. December 28, 1862 (Baptism)(1861 census aged 2 months)
Harry Royal Abt. December 28, 1862 (Baptism)
George Royal Abt. April 26, 1866 (Baptism)

Is there anyway that we can exchange email addresses and I can send you information direct?

Do you have any information on any other Weeting Royals?

Cheers,

Ian
