Hi Amanda, No, I hadn't seen your tree. I'm not currently an Ancestry subscriber. I have Elizabeth Chesterman's baptism at 1st May 1692 (St Giles, Reading, Berks) - parents: John Chesterman & Sarah Morris. I have Mathew's date of death as 15th September 1714 (only 4 days before his mother...

Hi Amanda, Thomas Collier was baptised 05 December 1714 at St Botolph, Bishopsgate. I have him down as one of 5 children born to Mathew Collier & Elizabeth Walton. The others are Mathew (b.28/11/08 - d. 15/09/14): Elizabeth (b.16/04/10 - d. 27/07/12); Elinor (b.February 1711); Mary...

Hi Amanda, Yes, I've moved on quite a lot since the last posts here in 2011! William was indeed married to Sarah Delves in 1738 and they had two known children - William [b.04.05.1742] & Mathew [03.01.1743]. Both baptised at St Leonards, Shoreditch. William - the son - married a Phoebe...

Thanks oznannie. Perhaps I mis-understood you, but didn't you say that two of them in GRU referred to William being buried in Chester? I was hoping that they'd have some details or back up for those claims. He's certainly a difficult man to pin down though. I've just downloaded a copy of...

Hi oznannie, I'm not sure who you need dates for? My original post gave 1710 for William Collier ("Gentleman of Chester") which seems to be the most common date touted around by anybody who has him at the top of their tree. I can only find two sets of parents (both William & Elizabeth) who...

Hi oznannie, That would be great if you could find anything at all about this man and his family on Genes. It's not a site that I belong to certainly. Regards, Roger

Hi Lee, Thanks for your input. I have seen that entry by pennant publishing. I don't know exactly where he got all that info from because I've tried to confirm several of those dates without any success. Do you know who Linda Sullivan is and where she might be contacted? She seems to have...

I'm up against a brick wall with this man! Born in 1710, he married a SARAH DEALUS in 4/3/1738 at St.Dunstan, Stepney, London and had two sons - William & Mathew. I can find nothing about his parents. He was described in his will (1789) as a "Gentleman of Chester" and was certainly a rich...
