Switzerland - In search of Guy Measham Berncastle's birth

The London Gazette has numerous entries for the Berncastle family including some with Measham as a middle name.

Thanks Jan and barryd

I would love to see a copy of the marriage certificate of Herbert Melbourne Bercastle and Sarah Measham.

On the marriage certificate of Herbert Melbourne Berncastle and Sarah Measham, does Sarah get married as widow and what is her father's name and occupation.

Hi Chris
Sarah is listed as "Spinster" and her father is George Measham, "of Independent means."
I will send you a copy as soon as I get a minute to scan the certificate.
Cheers

I've just done a bit more of the Berncastle family tree and Guy Measham Berncastle had a daughter whose middle name is BYLL.
I've not seen BYLL before I wonder if it's part of the Swiss connection?

Did you find the info you were looking for?  I am part of the family (by marriage) and have a lot of documents and info. Are you related to the Berncastle's?

Hi Sunflower8

I am not related. I am doing the Berncastle tree for Josie daughter of Guy Kingsley Berncastle, who is son of RIchard A C Berncastle, the son of Guy Measham Berncastle. After researching her tree and discovering her Great grand father Guy Measham Berncastle was born in Switzerland, Josie was fascinated and wanted to know more but we have hit a brick wall.
Any information or help would be brilliant.

Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris,

I was married to Richard's cousin Andrew (died 2010), son of Frank Measham Berncastle. Frank did a lot of family research and wrote a pamphlet called "Berncastle Forbears". I have his notes, family tree and some documents. I will look to see what birth/marriage certificates I can find.  Josie's grandfather, Richard, would be a good person to talk to. Byll is Richard's sister Rosemary, but they don't really talk to each other - I believe she is in contact with Josie's father, Guy. I don't know about Swiss connection. There is a Berncastle connection in Trier though.
Good luck with the research, maybe Josie can come and look at the stuff I have one day. I live in Hampshire.

Regards
Hilary
