Louisa LISHMUND

It looks as though the parents of Charles were Edward T (Tonkin?) Lishmund and Emlyn.
There's a good chance he's a cousin of my 2nd great grandfather or a 2nd cousin of my great grandfather.
I shall do some digging and I mentioned Tonkin because I know there was a relative on that side of the family who was named exactly that.
What an unbelievably complicated tale :) lol

Sorry, it's not Edward T Lishmund, it's Edward F Lishmund, the F being for Frost, who was the younger brother of my 3rd great grandmother, making Charles a cousin of my great, great grandfather, William Henry Wyatt Sargent (who was one of seven).
If you'd like any details you might not have, get in touch, I have a cousin in Canada who knows a fair amount about them. :)

I have Charles as being possibly the youngest child of Edward Frost Lishmund (1812 - Plymouth) and Emblin Maria Trebane (1809 - Launceston).
His siblings were Mary Jane Lishmund (1842 - Plymouth), Emily Amelia Lishmund (1846 - Stoke Damarel) and John Henry Lishmund (1849 - Stoke Damarel) and this man had two sons and a daughter, one of whom being the aforementioned Charles H Lishmund.
Very happy to help :)

Hi Muggins, seeing as your great grand mother was Mabel can you tell me if her sister Lily who married my great great uncle Robert Bright from Ireland had any children together?
thnx

It seems they had only one child:

Births Dec 1903 
BRIGHT    Lilian Maud         Devonport    5b   310

This is the most likely marriage for her:
(search at http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl )

Marriages Jun 1928 
Atherton    John H    Bright    Devonport    5b   754    
Bright    Lilian M    Atherton    Devonport    5b   754

and then you can search for Atherton births with mother Bright (which would be too recent to post here as the people could be living - there seems to have been only one).


(edit - Ladijane - less confusing if you just reply in the thread! You're welcome, and I'm not one of the family in the thread, just a RootsChat member, and being in Canada can sometimes help track people who disappeared in this direction. )

Thanks all - for these tidbits. I've been away from this site for a while. All I can tell you, JaneyCanuck, about Lily Bright (what a name!) is that she eventually moved to B.C., as she is mentioned in my great-grandmother Mabel's obituary. I never heard much about that side of the family because my grandfather Jack Horne (Mabel's son) left my grandmother when my mother was a young girl, and lived out his life on the west coast, in B.C., whereas I grew up on the east coast of Canada. It would be nice to learn a little more about the Lishmunds - I've only gotten as far back as Charles, so the info below from Artognou is appreciated...
Thanks!

Hi Muggins, I'm only too happy to help!
I'll put what information I have here;
There was John Lishmund (1777 - 1843) and Jane Giles (1781 - 1844), both died in Plymouth.
John was recorded as being from Oxford Rd, Plymouth and was buried 10th September, at Charles the Martyr church, Plymouth.
Their children were Edmund Lishmund (1808), John Giles Lishmund (1808) and 'unknown' Lishmund (1808), Mary Lishmund (1810 - my 3rd great grandmother), Jane Giles Lishmund (1811 - 1851), Edward Frost Lishmund (Charles' father 1813 - 1883), Elizabeth Giles Lishmund (1815) and Tasmin or Tamsin Lishmund (1819).
There are a few other possibilities for other siblings, but I shall contact this relative in Saskatchewan and get his valued opinion.

As of yet, finding John and Jane's parents have proven extremely difficult, but I hold out hope!
