James R Yeowell's Scavenger Hunt...Everyone Welcome To Join In

[jaywit]

James to quote yourself in message 28 regarding Mary's date of birth.

'Addendum: I just checked the image and it says it was an adult christening and gives her birth date as 9 December 1854.  So this is indeed her!'

So what about the birth I found in March qtr 1855 for Mary Gerrard?

 Mary Jane Gerrard
Year of Registration: 1855
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
District: Camberwell
County: Greater London, London, Surrey
Volume: 1d

Hi,

noted that

Candler Williams - 27 - seaman - born at sea

I agree with an earlier post that the marine BDM's may need to be searched and possibly someone may need to go through the records for both regiments, particularly the birth, marriage and deaths which, I think from past searching,  do not show up in any other form of Government record.

Regimental history will tell you where the regiments were in the time period you are looking at, so this would give you an educated place of reference for the children's births. But unless their births are recorded in the regiements papers there may well be no other recod for them.

You could possibley find out where at sea Candler was born by looking at port ofcand date of departure anda arrival place/date.

Wish I was in the UK to look at my ancestor's military service records and find the births of his children in Dublin c 1819.(even his wife's name wouold be good!!!)

I found only two references to LODINGTON in the national archives Major John Lodongton 1812 and Henry John Madras army b 1798 d 1864.

Candler (1824-ish) and Frances (and daughter Frances) can be found in 1871 on RG10/573/10/20

If you are looking on Ancestry, they have it mistranscribed as Saddington

Thanks.  I'll take a look.

That's a possibility.  Although I would expect her birth registration to be in Newington or St. Saviour but as Camberwell is not too far away, then this could well be her.

There's no note of a middle name for her on any other record though.  She's just Mary Edwards on her marriage certificate and her adult christening is just Mary too.  Of course, that does not rule this entry out though.

Out by a few quarters, but:

Births Sep 1855
Edwards    Mary       
Newington   
1d   202

That's a possibility too.

Ah yes, I forgot to mention that Candler Lodington was a seaman.  I am sure I did find something about him in relation to his navy career somewhere but I cannot find this for the moment.  I shall try and find it again.

I presume nobody has had any luck finding Eleanor Sarah Fortye Lodington (née Millis) after the 1851 census then?

Hi all
here is some information on

  ELIZABETH MARIA LODINGTON 6 March
1823, daughter of THOMAS LODINGTON and ANN DAY.

  found here: http://66.43.27.42/th/read/JACKSON/1997-07/0869878154
from another aussie who mayhave a direct connection to Thomas and Ann.

That is an excellent find!  I knew about the Jacksons but did not know one of them had emigrated to Australia.  A son of William Stewart Lodington (John Day Lodington) also emigrated to Australia.  He was a 1st cousin 1 time removed of Frederick William Jackson who emigrated to Australia.

HI,

John Day Lodington's family  may have settled in Victoria.

a Kenneth William son of John Day Lodington and  Bridget McKenzie died in Brunswick Melbourne in 1927 aged 67. rego13393 est dob 1860

It gets quite interesting here
KENNETH William  Lodington born KING GEORGES SOUND married Ellen Annie Jones in 1883 #3363 They had   children
John Day 1885, Ellen Avona 1887, Cuthbert Joseph 1889, Alice Louvena 1891, Sarah 1893. Ellen Anie died aged 30 in 1894 and Kenneth then married Ann Robertson Short in 1897,
Kenneth William b 1897, Stewart Hugh b1900, George Edward 1902, Eugenie Jane 1904 and then Ann Short died in 1904.

marriages of their children then start to show up and can be traced.

KING GEORGES SOUND was an early penal settlement in Australia many of the british military served there in the early 1800's.

A Thomas Lodington and Catherine Porter had a son in Victoria JOHN in 1858 #3747 a John Lodington died in 1882 aged57 #2571 Thomas aged 75 in 1896 #8824 in Brunswick (surname idexed as Loddington.)

these can be searched for at a small fee and ordered for around $18 each on line from: https://online.justice.vic.gov.au/bdm/home through the historical indexes.


They all seem to be connected and are the only Lodingtons in teh Victorian records.
I will explore other Australian records later and see what I can turn up.
I have some military sites and BDM's & newspapers to look at  and it may take some time.

I've come late to this hunt. 

I imagine you already have most, if not all of this James, but I will post anyway. You are looking for Eleanor Sarah Fortye Lodington (Millis) in 1861 .... This doesn't help find her but I was trying to approach this from a different angle  ... 

1861
4 St James Cottages
St James Rd
Islington
William Fortye Millis head mar 36 licenced victualler b Middx Grays Inn Rd
Amelia Rebecca wife mar 35 b Middx Ratcliff
William C.F. son 7 b Surrey Southwark
Amelia A daur 6 b Middx Grays Inn Rd
Mariann Eleanor daur 2 b Middx Holloway

I thought this William may be the brother of Eleanor Millis, especially as one of his daughters gets the middle name Eleanor.

Extracted IGI records:
William Millis b 25 Mar 1825
chr 24 Jul 1825 Old Church, St Pancras
father John
mother Eliza

Eliza Fortye Millis
b 5 Jan 1823
chr 24 Aug 1823 Old Church St Pancra fahter John mother Eliza

Maybe: John Millis = Eliza Maunfield
30 Nov 1822 St Bride Fleet St
