Birthplace for Nicholas MOROS *Completed* :-)

[Koromo]

Birth Place:   Cira
Former Nationality:   Greek

I guess Cira is Psyra

It's hard to tell where Cira is meant to be.  It could be the island Pseira (Nisís Psíra) off Crete, or Psara near Chios in the Aegean.  I can't find a place specifically spelled Psyra on my Greek maps at home.

I also have family living in Cypress, sometimes quicker to use snail mail.

Heh, too true!    The repair crew came again this morning — with luck the line will stay fixed this time.

Thanks again to all
Koromo

Hi, i have a large book that has my family history and according to what i have Nicholas Moros was born on Psara island, Greece, in 1956
1853* Sorry my mistake

Hi Zeroyon and Welcome to RootsChat 

So, is Psara Island (where Nicholas was born) the one near Chios Island?  How come he ended up in Swansea — had he become a seaman/mariner?  Have you ever found his marriage to Eliza FERRER/FERRIER?

Do you know if his daughter Despineo was the youngest child, or were there more children after her?  I did meet one of her children many, many years ago but the family history bug hadn't bitten then ... now I know what I should have asked him.

(Sorry, so many questions!  )

Hi Koromo

Were you able to contact the people on Tribal pages?  The first one listed has a number of the people you have written about.
Only trouble is I have tried contacting people on this site with little luck.  Hope you have better results.

Yes that is the island. Nicholas went overseas with his brothers John and Socrates when they were young as there was little in the way of employment on the island. Nicholas was working on boats and ended up being based in Swansea where he met Eliza. And yes i have a photocopy of their marriage certificate which was June 1873. Despina was the youngest of 7. Are you a descendant of Nicholas?

Suzy    I recognised the Tribal tree owner's name as the same owner of a tree on Ancestry, and I was able to pick up some clues. (I haven't tried to contact him/her on either site.)

Zeroyon, no I'm not a blood relation of Nicholas. His daughter Despineo married my paternal grandfather in 1915 after his first wife died — I am descended from his first marriage.

I have searched and searched on FreeBMD for Nicholas and Eliza's marriage — is it there?

In a rush right now, and will be busy the rest of this evening.  I'll catch up tomorrow.

So that would be Charles Brothers? Im not sure if it is there or not, i just have a copy in this book that i have.

Hi Zeroyon

Yes, he's the one — Charles Edward Henry BROTHERS, known as Harry!

I've found Eliza FERRER on FreeBMD, marrying in Swansea, June quarter 1873, to either George Jewell ARNOLD or the strangely-named Charles EIM.  What name is given on the marriage certificate?

Cheers
