Two today:

Richard Charles Kingsman, born 1845, in Walworth, Surrey.  My 2xgt. grandfather who, rather inconveniently, seems neither to have registered nor had baptised his son John, my gt. grandfather.   

Anne Rainer, my 2xgt aunt,  born 1876, in Sutton at Hone, Kent.  Another sibling of Charles and "naughty Florence".  She married George Taylor in 1890........lost track of her.....just too many George and Anne Taylors around.

George Burn 4g uncle b 17/11/1812 Lilliesleaf, Roxburghshire, son of James Burn (Blacksmith) & Janet (Jessie) Burn nee Davidson. Died bfr 1823 when 2nd George was born.

My 3g grandparents married 17/11/1822 Haddington, Haddingtonshire. Francis Combe (Brass Finisher) died bfr 1828 when Elizabeth Combe nee Randell remarried to a Benjamin Murdoch. Elizabeth died of Cholera in Hawick Sept 1849....buried in a communal grave for all the Cholera victims at Wellogate Cemetery Hawick.....Still looking for Francis Combes death

I've only 4 ancestors for today and 3 of those are rather distant:

1st cousin 11 times removed  born this day in 1556

3 x g.g.aunt - baptised this day in 1776

1st cousin 3 times removed - died this day in 1916

Mum’s eldest sister died this day in 1920.  She was engaged to be married but died of TB, although she had haemoptysis for 3 days which is probably the reason she died when she did.  She would have been  my aunt but she died before she became anyone’s aunt, my oldest cousin wasn't born until 1927.

This is Elsie

Missed yesterday

My 5g grandmother Beatrice Falconer nee Mack b 16/11/1751, Bunkle & Preston, Berwickshire, daughter of John Mack and Jean nee Fish.......married George Falconer 18/12/1779 in Bunkle & Preston. George was the son of John Falconer & Margaret Hay.

Andrew Turnbull 4g grandfather b 16/11/1796 Yarrow, Selkirkshire son of Walter Turnbull & Agnes nee Wight. Andrew married Isabella Brydon daughter of John Brydon & Euphemia Laidlaw.... Coincidentally Andrew and Isabella died with 25 days of each other 5/1/1865 and 30/1/1865 both from stomach cancer!

I am hoping by posting all these names each day that others who are also looking at one or more of the families will find me....and I'll have a new rellie

Great-great grandmother Mary Rebecca Langdale born 17th November 1789; baptised in St Giles Cripplegate 14th December, died 10th September 1880 in Swansea. Her father was Peter Langdale, a coal merchant, who spent time in debtor's prison in 1801:

A true and perfect schedule and account of [] Peter Langdale, formerly of Westmoreland Buildings, late of Aldersgate Street in the Parish of St Botolph, Dealer in Corn and Coals now confined in His Majesty's Prison of Ludgate in the City of London containing an account of my real and personal estate and effects for the benefit of my creditors pursuant to a certain act of Parliament made and passed in the forty-first year of his present Majesty viz King George the Third and intituled an Act for the Relief of certain Insolvent Debtors.
Real estate: I have none
Personal estate: I have none
I have not any sum or sums of money exceeding five pounds nor doth the whole of my effects exceed thirty pounds
Peter Langdale

She was evidently a fiery character. Her grand-daughter wrote of her:
She was a wildly jealous woman and when her husband ordered his horse to be brought round at a given time, she’d order hers to be saddled and kept in the yard. He’d mount at the front door, she at the back and she’d ride after him keeping him in sight till his return home. She was so unpleasant a woman that my father never allowed my mother to meet her, “Apart, you are quite good friends, if you meet there will be endless trouble.”

That really paints a picture of a very strong woman!

I have only one today and a distant one at that.

17th November 1881, Ralph Cant, was born in Brightlingsea, Essex. My 1st cousin,  three times removed.

This is making me feel that I need to get to grips with sending for more certificates. I have approximate dates for so many people but I know I could be missing them off here because I don't have accurate information.
