Hi Yvonne: Although not conected with your family the following information might help. My Great Grandmother was born Sarah Jane CORNER in Fairlight Sussex, but is transcribed on the IGI as CONNER. Funnily enough she married and lived in Fareham Could it be that the reverse has happened in your case Kind regards; Dave Hackett Researching HACKETT COUSINS PLUMMER ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yvonne Courtine" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 28, 2008 11:14 AM Subject: [HAM] CONNOR Is anyone researching the name CONNOR in Hampshire, possibly the Fareham area? I have JAMES CONNOR who married Mary AnnCouzens on 6 October 1817 in Fareham. They had the following children baptised in Fareham (all info from IGI): MARY ANN, 1820 (my ancestor); JAMES EDWARD, 1822; JOHN ARTIMUS, 1824; AGNES AUGUSTA, 1826; AMOS WILLIAM, 1829, STEPHEN, 831. Apart from Mary Ann, the only other information I have is for Agnes Augusta, on the 1851 census in Liverpool with her uncle and aunt, John & Charlotte Shields. She subsequently married in Liverpool. There is a marriage for John Artimus on Free BMD in 1846 in Southampton, partner unknown, but no definite census listing. I have no definite information on the other children, except for AMOS WILLIAM, who was a witness at the wedding of his niece ELIZA EDMUNDS, daughter of Mary Ann and husband Richard Edmunds, on 12 May 1867 in Shoreditch, London. It puzzles me that I cannot find him on any censuses. I suspect that he dropped the Amos from his name and is listed somewhere under William Connor but there are too many to be sure. Unfortunately I have misplaced the notes I made years ago which showed that JAMES CONNOR was a Tinsmith/Whitesmith/Brazier on High Street, Fareham, sometime in the 1840s. I am sure I got this information from a Hampshire Directory. Does anyone have any information on JAMES CONNOR and/or any of his children, please? Yvonne in Wales
