Hi Tracy You certainly have an elusive chap there RHA is certainly Royal Horse Artillery , I have found no mention of him in any records available to me Now you say "according to several sources, and he is born in 1871 in Croydon" In 1901 he gives an age of 27 so a birth year of 1874 Croydon He gives an age of 35 in 1911 so a birth year of 1876 Croydon On his 1914 marriage cert it gives an age of 39 so a birth year of 1875 So where are you finding 1871? Also he gives Commercial Manager as his occupation in 1914 not salesman I have had a good rummage around and find no trace of him except the three noted above and a possible death in Croydon 1947, again thats a birth year of 1875 If his father was an Indian Commissioner, and later a Knight you would expect to find some sort of a mention in the London Gazette and the Times, nothing there as far as I can tell It strikes me as odd that he gives an occupation as soldier in 1897 (when he would be aged 22 or 23) and is then a Railway Porter in 1901, if his father was an Indian Commissioner or Knight you would expect his son in a better occupation As to divorce, it was still a very expensive affair (pun intended :-) so unless they had a fair amount of cash to splash out on one, most didn't bother and just went their separate ways and often married again, the clincher to me is his giving bachelor in 1914 You can search for divorces in the Catalogue on the National Archives under J77 (I did not see a likely one there) There are only a few events for a person with Gaughan as a forename, and only one BURNET the 1897 marriage It is possible the father was in India for much of the time and could have died there, but I would still have expected to find a mention in the papers and a record of some sort Fibis does not seem to have a mention either Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Hello again, > > I'm stumped on a man who marries into my DEVERILL family in 1897, marrying > Kate Sara DEVERILL at St Martin in the Fields.

Hello Nivard Thank you for checking your sources. I appreciate your time and ideas. Elusive indeed! Kate's sisters married telegraph operators, her brothers were oil and colourmen for a time, her father was a grocer and then a coachman, so I was a bit sceptical when I saw Frederick Burnett's claims to being the son of an Indian Commissioner and then the son of a Knight. Possible, of course, but it seemed out of line with the lay of the rest of the family. However, St Martin in the Fields is not home territory for my Deverills, so I figured Kate might have moved across the river and met up with a different sort of person there. It seems perhaps she did, and maybe I shouldn't be at all suprised that they parted ways around 1914, although she did live with him for close to 17 years, whoever he was. You asked about the 1871 date? An error on my part, as near as I can tell, although I do have 1871 in my database. I must figure out why or correct it. Thanks again. It looks like I will remain stumped where Frederick Burnett is concerned, at least for the time being. Tracy

Hello Eve: It looks like Felix, his wife and Florence age 4 arrived in Melbourne, Australia in February 1885 aboard the "Iberia". See http://210.8.122.120/indexes/index_search_results.asp Florence Louisa (the child) died in Caulfield, (Melbourne) in 1893: Digger - Federation Index.

Victoria 1889-1901 -------------------- Surname: WERRY Given Names: Frances Louise Event: M Sex: Spouse Surname/Father: HALL Spouse Gvn Names/Mother: Jas Age: Age Code: Birth Place: ENG Death Place: Year: 1897 Reg. Number: 3054 By cross-referencing the marriage, it appears that James HALL was born in Windsor, likely the suburb of Melbourne. I checked births through 1913, but saw none to James and Frances. On the 1909 Electoral Rolls of Victoria, James and Frances Louisa HALL are living at 30 Malakoff St. St. Kilda (suburb of Melbourne) home duties for her, gardener for him. They are still there in 1914 but now James is a Mason's fixer and Frances is Frances Louise (rather than Louisa). Same information in 1919 and 1924. In 1931 address is 18 Malakoff St. St. Kilda (likely a re-numbering rather than a move). Frances disappears after 1933 and there are too many James HALLs to distinguish which one he might be - none are at the above address. Although this entry is Florence rather than Frances, I think this is her, it's the right suburb and close to her right age: Digger - Death Index. Victoria 1921-1985 -------------------- Surname: HALL Given Names: Florence Louisa Father: Unknown Mother: Unknown UNKNOWN Death Place: S KILDA Age: 84 Age Code: Year: 1934 Reg Number: 3642 Event: D Hope some of this is helpful to you.

Hello again, I'm stumped on a man who marries into my DEVERILL family in 1897, marrying Kate Sara DEVERILL at St Martin in the Fields. His name is Frederick Gaughan BURNETT, according to several sources, and he is born in 1871 in Croydon. I haven't found a plausible birth record for him, but on his marriage cert he claims that his father is Frederick BURNETT, "Indian Commissioner," and that he himself is a "Soldier, RHA." Someone advised me that RHA is likely Royal Horse Artillery. Are there any records for them that I could check to see if he shows up? I've checked the military records on Ancestry and Findmypast but found nothing conclusive. I've googled and come across interesting regiment histories etc, but nothing specifically regarding the soldiers who served with them. Frederick is a railway porter in 1901, and a commercial salesman in 1911 and again in 1914 when he marries Kathleen Maud BELL. He counts himself a bachelor, but his wife Kate is still alive, and seven years later she marries the man who was boarding with them in 1911, Arthur STEGGALS, a policeman. Normally I would have discounted the marriage record of Frederick and Kathleen, because Frederick Gaughan BURNETT gives his father's name this time as William Gaughan BURNETT, and his occupation as "knight." But the clincher here was the signature. Frederick's signature is quite unusual, and the three instances of it (his marriage cert to Kate, as a witness at one of Kate's relatives' wedding, and this marriage in 1914) are identical. My questions, if you're still with me, are: where should I look to try to find anything on a Frederick/William Gaughan BURNETT, Indian Commissioner/Knight? Where might I find information on soldiers with the Royal Horse Artillery circa 1897? Where might I find out if Kate and Frederick divorced? As I said, I've searched Ancestry and Findmypast and googled, but have come up empty. Thanks as always for your help and advice, Tracy in Ontario, Canada

George is in 1793 Universal directory at 85 Whitechapel and then I cannot see him in 1805 Holden. So you found him mentioned in 1802 so perhaps he died soon after or retired....... I looked at Churches in Tower Hamlets but nothing like him The 1845 baptisms are for 3 children first Samuel born 1839. I could not match any with GRO index. I cannot find family anywhere in 1841 Address for baptism Rahere Street is on http://yourarchives.nationalarchives.gov.uk as HO 107/667 book 1 folio 42-58 and scanning around that does not show them What then happens to them? I did not find in later census So could they be newly arrived in London hence the baptisms. Presumably Samuel married Mary prior to 1839 but I think that makes him too young to be George's son. There is a marriage in 1838 in St Germans Cornwall and one of 4 possible spouses is a Mary Snell Ron Lankshear -Sydney NSW (from London-Shepherds Bush/Chiswick) try my links http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~lankshear/ On 2011-06-07 2:41 AM, user917826@aol.com wrote: > Hello, > > I am new to the list.

The Rothschild family owned Gunnersbury Park from 1835 when Nathan Mayer Rothschild purchased the Large Mansion and park ( they later purchased the Small Mansion) until 1925 when it was sold after the death of Nathan's grandson Leopold Rothschild. The grounds became a park for the local community ( part was used for a cemetery) and the Large Mansion now houses the local history museum for the London Boroughts of Ealing and Hounslow.
