John Hathaway

[SandraAust]

Victor,

Could you possibly check your records for a marriage between Mary Ann HATHAWAY and Barnaby PENDLEY at Kingscote on 28 January 1802? This is the closest in similarity of the year of marriage for my John and Charlotte. I would just like to know if the parish records name her parents or the witnesses in the off chance that one of them might be the same as those for John's wedding 2 years later.

Also if you can find any births/baptisms at Kingscote around mid 1780's for any MILLER and HATHAWAY? I still can't find anything for Charlotte & John prior to marriage.

Regards,
Sandra

Thank you Victor. Mary Ann may have died shortly after marriage as Barnaby appears to remarry in 1805 then disappears.

Can someone please help?
I have a John Hathaway born19/1/1783 Gloucester,married to Charlotte Miller circa 1804.
Trying to find his parents and his children, in fact looking for those above him as well.
Possible that his father was Thomas Hathaway,but nothing certain.
Any help at all on this family would be appreciated.
Thank you,

Is this thread still live? I am descended from Charlotte Miller's brother William; these were the Millers of Ozleworth Park, and Newington Bagpath beforehand, and variously Bristol, Jamaica etc. I have some info in Charlotte's family.

Hi Dale,

Charlotte was my 4 x Great Grandmother but until now I have been unable to trace her lineage as she died in 1846 so no POB was ever given on census. I see that a few public trees on Ancestry name her parents as George MILLER & Sarah HAINS. Is that what you have?

No I have something different. Charlotte was christened Charlotta PARSLOWE, daughter of Hester, 12 Dec 1779, at Newington Bagpath; father unrecorded. However Hester married Richard MILLER (Bagpath) 26 Apr 1781; their son, William MILLER, later of Ozleworth Park, is recorded as uncle of one Captain Edwin HATHAWAY on a memorial to the latter in Ozleworth churchyard. Edwin was a son of Charlotte and John HATHAWAY. William's uncle George made a bequest to a Charlotte MILLER, wife of John HATHAWAY, although does not refer to her as his daughter. He also left a bequest to a Susanna Stephens "reputed daughter of my brother" - suggesting George's brother Richard had form. Those bits made Charlotte Parslowe = Charlotte Miller reasonable. There is more if you would like, although direct email might be needed to send documents. But not more about Hathaway; locating John's parents has not been possible to date, although . . .

After Richard died Hester remarried, to a John MORSE, 20 Aug 1782. A witness to their wedding was a Thomas HATHAWAY; it would not be unreasonable to assume Thomas and John were related (it's a small parish), which might point to a specific John. I note in the IGI that baptisms of John HATHAWAYs tend to omit naming the parents. 

That George MILLER or his uncle of same name did have a wife Sarah, according to a Will, and may be the couple you mention. Do you have more on them?

Hi Dale,

Everything you say makes absolute sense!

The marriage of Charlotte PARSLOWE/MILLER to John HATHAWAY in 1804 had John MORE as a witness. I suspect this may have actually been John MORSE if he was her step-father. I also have Sarah MORSE c1825 Newington Bagpath marrying John HATHAWAY in 1842. That particular John was the son of John & Charlotte. Sarah appears to be the daughter of a Thomas MORSE & unknown mother. I found Thomas plus daughters Harriet & Margaret in 1841. Margaret never married and later lived with various members of the family as cousin or sister so I know they are all inter-connected.

It looks like this is a far bigger family than I expected so would love to hear more from you. Please PM if you'd like to swap email addresses.
