Many of us have children who suddenly disappear, sometimes they are orphans, sometimes they only have one parent surviving. I've recently come across a new list that might help locate some of these children. http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/UK/CHILD-MIGRANTS-UK.html This is for ALL child migrants from the UK and Ireland who were sent to Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and other countries as well as the Home Children sent to Canada. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Greinton and Clutton, SOM Asst OPC for Ashcott and Shapwick, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk http://www.savethegurkhas.co.uk/

Yes, that is her. Husband "went missing" around 1867 so she is a widow. Thanks Millie.

Hi Beth, There are some Bath transcripts on FreeREG: http://www.freereg.org.uk/ http://www.freereg.org.uk/parishes/som/b.shtml#1 Yvonne Scrivener Canberra ACT Australia -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Beth Any further information on either the marriage or where to look for Sarah or Elizabeth's baptismal records in Bath would be appreciated - have checked the IGI for the baptismal record - no success for Sarah and a few too many Elizabeth BENDALLs to narrow down. Sarah's year of birth, from records located thus far, would indicate a date range of between 1817 and 1823. >From the 1851 census, Elizabeth BENDALL was also born in Bath, c 1796.

Could someone check a great-aunt of mine. Eliza Louisa Keats b. 1837 (actually 1835) Bristol. She is part of my Worth clan. She was a widow so probably still living with her family in Bristol. With thanks, Edna - Ottawa

Hi Nancy, Thanks for the information about the Pharos online course. I had already found their website through Google, and am considering enrolling. So it was very helpful to receive such positive feedback. Living where I do (in Israel), there are no (non-Jewish) family history centres here, so I'm very much isolated and dependent on Internet for my FH research; so I imagine that an online course such as Pharos would be a great support. My time zone here is GMT+2, so it might mean an occasional late night for me... but I can always lie in late in the morning!

An interesting find from The Ships List: Many Bristolians must have used these vessels. Edna - Ottawa --- This is the one of the "last sightings" of my Richard Keats (1829-c1867) Edna - Ottawa ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Emigration to New York, DIRECT FROM BRISTOL THE FINE FAST-SAILING and coppered Ship Osprey, 1,200 tons burden. Richard Keats, Commander; to Sail on the 10th of April, 1857. This well-known and favourite Ship will be fitted up in the same comfortable manner as usual, and will be punctually despatched. All the Provisions supplied will be of the best quality. Passengers can, if they wish, book through to their destination in the States, thus saving expense and detention at New York.

Hello I have recently joined the list and in need of some advice ... until now, no known relatives in this part of England! I am looking into a marriage that occured between George CHAPMAN and Elizabeth BENDALL on 22 April 1816 at St Augustine The Less, Bristol, Gloucester. This marriage seems to be a possible fit with information that I already have ... Does anyone have this couple on their tree? In my tree, I have a widow, Elizabeth CHAPMAN who remarries in Middlesex in 1824. Her eldest daughter's name was Sarah Chapman HIBBLE and from census records it would appear that she (the daughter) was born in Bath. I have found baptismal records in Middlesex for all children that Elizabeth and her second husband had, but not for Sarah. Sarah's death certificate confirms her birth place as Bath, England and notes that Elizabeth BENDALL was her mother's name, and her father as Charles HIBBLE. I am now thinking that Sarah was actually the daughter of the first husband (whose first name I haven't been able to confirm), as it seems unlikely that Elizabeth's second husband would want his first born child's second/middle name to be that of his wife's deceased first husband ... if that makes sense!!!!!!!!! I would think it more likely that Sarah CHAPMAN later took the surname of her mother's second husband. Any further information on either the marriage or where to look for Sarah or Elizabeth's baptismal records in Bath would be appreciated - have checked the IGI for the baptismal record - no success for Sarah and a few too many Elizabeth BENDALLs to narrow down. Sarah's year of birth, from records located thus far, would indicate a date range of between 1817 and 1823. >From the 1851 census, Elizabeth BENDALL was also born in Bath, c 1796.

Hi Mike, You're absolutely correct! I had both webpages open at the same time, and got confused -- not difficult for me, lol. Legacy produces the Legacy program. WhollyGenes produces The Master Genealogist. Both do a lot of extra work to promote the use of their programs. At least my misinformation created a flurry of postings, which means some of you actual read mine. I always wondered.
