Info from HerSouth AfricanAncestors - Cronwright Hi Cheri A query re your Maria GODFREY as I have her being born about 1852. I have Henry Thomas GODFREY x Jane ULYATE with their first born being Maria b 21 Apr 1837. Did she die young as the Mrs HT LLOYD has this obit Maria died on 23 July 1925 “We express very general regret when we record the passing away of Mrs H. T. Lloyd, one of the oldest and most respected residents of Queenstown, on Sunday morning last, at the age of 73 years. We are prepared to say that there are too few of such “Mothers in Israel” as Mrs Lloyd. Her sterling Christian character, her kindly helpful personality, and her kindly cheerfulness, was such as made a few moments in her presence memorable. We also know what a mother she was in her home, creating by her presence an atmosphere that could only make a home lovely and make right living easy. Our sincerest sympathy goes out to the bereaved members of the family." (My note: She is said to have been the daughter of Robert & Martha Godfrey but if one calculates her age at death being 73 this would make her date of birth 1852 which is too old for her mother being born in Abt. 1791 - aged 28 in the Settlers Handbook by Nash) Take care Lynn -----Original Message----- From: Cheri Marshall Sent: Saturday, November 24, 2012 2:58 PM To: south-africa-eastern-cape@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ZA-EC] FINAUGHTY and related families. Info from HerSouth AfricanAncestors - Cronwright Thanks Lynn and special thanks Nikki for all your time and effort! I had some of my Finaughty's mixed up. Dob for Henry Ulyate: *2nd September 1780, London, England baptised: 25th December 1780, St Andrew's Church, Holborn, London, England(source LDS St Andrew baptisms)Mother Sarah and Father William. Here is the marriage that Nikki mentions: There are two Lucy's. Mother and daughter. The mother Lucy nee MOUL(E)S was the widow of John FINAUGHTY who later married Henry ULYATE(with daughter Lucy from first marriage ) Lucy FINNAUGHTY then married Robert Featherstone see:(Henry is listed as stepfather) Robert FEATHERSTONE Source: Microfilm# 1886513, Item 7. Entry # 12 Surname: Featherstone First Name: Robert Age: 32 Years Gender: Male Residence At Time Of Marriage: Bristol England Details Of Groom: Protestant Date Of Marriage: 01 April 1822 Place Of Marriage: Albany/Grahamstown Surname Of Spouse: Finnaughty First Name Of Spouse: Lucy Age Of Spouse: 17 Years Residence At Time Of Marriage Of Spouse: England Notes Of Spouse: Protestant - Henry ULYATE stepfather gives consent Collection: Marriage Records Source Location: Matrimonial Court Minutes and Special Marriage Licenses: 1821 onwards Source: Microfilm# 1886513, Item 7. Entry # 12 Nikki and Lynn...Thanks for adding some info and for the clarifications...my link is through Henry Thomas LLOYD who had married Maria GODFREY one year after Anne ULYATE had died. Her sister Martha Elizabeth GODFREY then married John Henry FINAUGHTY junior*12 April 1847( son of John and Anne COWIE)...so you can imagine that it is easy to get this group mixed up!
