CHASTON/HARMER/CABLE Families

[dmtmdmtm]

Hi Sue!
Thanks for all that info -- it has really helped. My Mum has often talked of Aldeburgh and visiting various members of the Cable family when she was younger but she can't remember or never knew what the connection was. Went to Aldeburgh myself on Saturday just to have a look. Thanks again.

Hi Theresa,

I was in Aldeburgh late on Saturday too, after meeting with my sister and family at the farm shop at the junction of the Aldeburgh road and the A12!

I have just e-mailed a man, who does the Chaston family tree in the one name study group, to see if he knows anything about a Caroline Chaston. My grandmother's mother died when she was 7 years old, so perhaps William Harmer was a sort of cousin/brother, as can't find him as a brother on the 1881 census. Do you know who his parents were?

I live in Lowestoft and remember your granddad as someone who drove London buses to Heathrow airport, which seemed quite glamourous to me.

Take care,

Sue

Hi Theresa,

On 1891 census Elizabeth Harmer, is there as Lizzie, and guess what, she has a brother called William aged 6 years old.

This must be William Arthur. If so, his father was Reuben Harmer, then a widower, and his mother was Sarah Ayers. Reuben was born in Oulton, in 1848 and married Sarah Ayers on December 24th 1870. She was born in 1850 and buried in Lowestoft on December 7th, 1887, when William would have been around 3 years old.

Reuben's father was William Harmer, born Blundeston, Suffolk, just north of Lowestoft, in 1821 to Mary, no father registered. His mother was Mary Ann Bemment or Beaumont of Barnaby, (Barnby) but us locals say Barnaby, which is between Beccles and Lowestoft in 1823.

Sarah's parents were William Ayers born 1824, who was a fisherman and lifeboatman and Elizabeth Cluff, who married on December 25th 1846.

No news on Caroline Chaston, but wonder if she is the daughter of Elizabeth Chaston, born Snape 1864, who was the mtoher of Norma Cable?
Regards,

Sue

Hi, not sure if anybody can help me, i had a few names to search and that has lead me here.

I found a family tree of mine I think that Elizabeth was the sister of my great, great great granddad Henry (Harry) Chaston who married Eliza Everett.

If anybody has any information on a John Chaston b. 1791/2 it would be much appreciated.

Or Edward Chaston b.1816

Frederick John Chaston b 1881
