Still looking for anyone researching William and Ann MESSER from Blue Gate Fields, St George in the East. William was a rope maker. Children were Ann b1791, married William IVES 1812; Sarah b 1794; Susannah b 1796 married George HOLMES 1814; Elizabeth b 1798; Richard b 1799; Mary b 1802 (may have married Robert BLACKFORD 1819), James 1804; William John b 1805 and Henry b 1807. I am having great difficulty finding out anything more! I am wondering if this Henry MESSER was my g-g-grandfather who came to Sydney, Australia and married Emily SUTHERLAND in 1835. How can I find out anything more about Henry between 1807 and 1835?? I have tried all the obvious records - parish BDM, burials, military, immigration. Susannah and Richard are the 'different' names in this MESSER family and could be one of the Hampshire MESSER families or St Mary HENDON ones. I think they were Non Conformists - Quakers? Any helpful suggestions gratefully received. Barbara
