Tabberrer Nottingham

[Liltisay]

I am a descendant of a John Tabberrah.
He was a soldier enlisted in Nottingham, England and came to Canada in 1827.

By 1855, he moved to NY with his wife Ann (having trouble finding marriage records) & 3 children. William Henry Tabberrah (born 1840) fought in the Civil War

I don't know who John Tabberrah's parents are. Per 1870 NY census, he was 73. So he was probably born around 1797? Unless it's a couple years off?

Baptism Nottingham St Mary ( dates are a little off)
2 Sep 1804 John son of William & Mary TABARRAH. Buried same Church 12 Sep 1804, notes say son of William.
12 Sep 1805 John son of William & Mary TABBARAH

Marriage Nottingham, St Mary
20 May 1804 William TABBERAH and Mary Winter.

Having given you the above baptism for John, there is also a burial for a 24 year old John Tabberah abode Mill stone Lane. Buried Nottingham St Peter 6 Oct 1824. The address Mill Stone Lane is given for the baptism of another child of William and Mary 3 Jul 1814 James son of William & Mary Tabberah father a frame work knitter abode Millstone Lane.

When will I learn.....

I think I found the John Tabberrah but spelled differently.

Just as suspected he was born 1797, matching the 1870 NY Census.

John Tabarra
Born: 1797
Event: 1816
Record Set: British Army Service Records
Location: St Mary's Nottingham

Who do you think are his parents from above & Shaun's replies?

That one (discharged from the army in 1824) doesn't fit with army service in Canada in the 1830's and 1840's or with the 1860 and 1880 census entries for your man in Clinton County NY. I would suggest that the 1870 census entry has the wrong age (US censuses from that time are notoriously inaccurate).

What did you find regarding army records for John Tabberrah in Canada?

If he was in Canada by 1827, I have no idea if the 1860 John Tabberrah from England is someone else although Mary Malone or Maloon was Ann's mom.

Atleast I have death records of Ann Tabberrah but where did his go?

Btw, thanks for looking into this!

And just to make everything confusing, there are John's in the 1900s with kids naming as Johns too.

Remember the baptism research in Canada, a couple babies were all
named John too who died at Infancy

What did you find regarding army records for John Tabberrah in Canada?

The early (pre-1848) baptisms I listed on the other thread mention his regiments which match the army file for John Tabberrah born Nottingham in 1807, He was discharged in Montreal in 1848 after 21 years in Canada. We know that son William Henry was born in Canada (we have his baptism) and had moved to Beekmantown, Clinton, NY by 1861.
