Greetings Listers ........ and G'day from Australia. I am searching for details of a very elusive MONTAGU Family, and I have little to go on. Especially after the BIRTH or BAPTISM of William Augustus MONTAGU, born about 1785, "Parish of Huntingdon". He is my g/g/g/g/grandfather (ain't he lucky!). All rather frustrating and surprising as he later become a highly decorated Rear Admiral. Problem is exascerbated as I cannot see a "Parish of Huntingdon" in the Huntingdon area today. Perhaps was so in the past. I have plenty of stuff on his career but zulch on his origin. I have done the rounds of IGI and varios surname sites, many queries, searches posts to lists, emails to various, and have come up with nothing. So if you can assist I will be very thankful indeed. Below is all I have, but I appreciate it may not be enough. To all and every one of you, thank you for your time either way. (My other Interests include JOHNSON, Isle of Wight). Regards, Peter Johnson. Newcastle, Australia. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vice Admiral Sir William Augustus MONTAGU, CB, KCH. William Augustus MONTAGU. Parents names and origins... Unknown.
