Hi there, I am back with yet ANOTHER request for you to answer - sorry about that. This time I need to know who the FATHER is in this family please. John MARGRIE married Anne SEAWARD. John was born 1821 in Bridport he then moved out to Jersey in the 1830's, I have been to Jersey archives to trace his family. What I would like to know is ---- who was John MARGRIE's father please as the the Jersey marriage certificate doesn't have the father on it. They got married 1840 in Jersey but now I need to know who his father is please. Does anyone have the registers for this period please? Thank you very much. Diane
Dear Diane, There are quite a few MARGRIEs baptised in Bridport (both at the parish church & non-conformist), the Johns listed are: John Hide MARGRIE - s/o Benjamin & Elizabeth on 26 February 1807 @ Bridport John Hide MARGRIE - s/o Benjamin & Elizabeth on 28 February 1811 @ Bridport John MARGRIE - s/o Benjamin & Elizabeth on 18 February 1821 @ Bridport John MARGRIE - s/o William & Mary Ann on 11 April 1823 @ Bridport John MARGRIE - s/o William & Maryann (sic) on 6 January 1825 @ Bridport It looks like his parents were Benjamin & Elizabeth MARGRIE. Does he have any known siblings in order to confirm whether this is him or not? It appears from the records that he possibly had at least 9 siblings, if you want details of them, please let me know. Benjamin MARGRIE married Elizabeth LACY (x) on 8 October 1800 @ Bridport Witnesses: Elizabeth LACY & John CURME (clerk) It appears from the 1851 census that Elizabeth was born in Symondsbury abt 1780 There is a baptism for Elizabeth LACEY (sic) d/o Hugh & Ann LACEY on 17 June 1781 @ Symondsbury which could be her. Benjamin doesn't appear on the 1841 or 1851 census' so his year & place of birth is unknown & I can't find a baptism for him. Benjamin probably died before 1837 as his death registration doesn't appear on the BMDs. I hope this helps Regards Vanessa Dorset ----- Original Message ----- From: "Diane Sowden" <dpkms20042000@yahoo.co.uk> To: <DORSET@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, September 20, 2010 5:24 PM Subject: [DOR] Another request from me Diane!
