Hi all, hunting for my English side of the family but these brick walls are a menace to climb without a few stepping stones. Robert STRONG born some where in England approx 1792 - 1849 - married some where in England Margaret FISHER born 1792 Norwich Norfolk (1851 census) - mysteriously disappeared. They had seven children - five survived John William 1816 - 1824 Robert Arthur born 1817 Bermondsey -christened 1819 St Magdalene Rotherhithe - married 1845 Sarah Ann Charlotte SELF born 1820 Soho London - shifted to NZ 1856 and had nine children Rosina born 1819 Bermondsey - christened 1819 St Magdalene Rotherhithe - mysteriously disappeared Charles born1823 Rotherhithe - married 1845 Mary Ann ROSS born 1819 Chatham England - shifted to NZ 1856 - had one daughter Mary Ann. George born 1825 Rotherhithe - married 1848 in NZ Margaret McMullen born 1827 Ireland - they had eight children, seven survived. Sarah born 1830 Rotherhithe - married 1853 George LEWIS - shifted to NZ 1865 - they had eight children Susannah born 1833 Rotherithe - 1849 Rotherhithe In the census 1841 - 1851 there are other STRONG's in and around the same area as my family lived (Silver Street. The ages seem to match that they could be the brothers of Robert, all seem to be in the same trade as well but I can't find a connection as who their parents could be. Of the families that shifted to NZ between 1848-1865 I have about 98% of the descendants If any one has these particular names within their family tree - I would love to hear from you.
