Harriet SHURLEY

[DaveHam9]

This one is a bit harder.

F & M ? James at Maidenhead
2 B John & Harry ? - J? Mary ? Catlohie/Catholic ?
& J? Sister ? = Elizth. on Aansd. ?

Father = James

Brothers = John & Harry ?

Sister ? = Elizabeth

As you say to Henry or Harry then - May Catholine Hester. Are the last three words, the persons signature and in a different hand.

Haven't time now, but will look again later

Thanks dave,

I think it is Mary - look at the little leg in 'y'

So Mary, Catholine & Hester

It would have to be the 'H' in Hester with the loop joining the two vertical strokes shifted to the right then.

Looking again at the last two letters I don't see them as 'er' - so not Hester or Sister.


The last three words are in different hand and ink but all the entries in the register in that column for 'Relatives and Apprenticeships and Where last Residing' have no initials or signature of the person making the entry.

It pays to read the column headings.

Mary, Catholine & sister Elizth as aboard.

This one is a bit tougher, Steve.

If we assume the last three words are a place of last residence for Harriet then what could it be?

Rothenburg ob der Tauber it is not. :2fun:

The other two files also have the native place but it's less clear, being Hirley/ Surley/Sirley.

My call. :2fun:

Death reg says born MAID. Won't be Kent.

Looks as though the siblings may not help us.

We need one sibling in 1851 with pob.

 

[p.risboy]

I don't know if he's related at all.

Thanks Steve.

If they are from the same family they were triplets. :2fun:

It's usually impossible to trace convicts. Even when you get parents and siblings and a death reg with parents listed and pob listed it still proves very difficult. This one is the same.

BuckFHS has a Bucks Assize 1784-1855 (CD) £4, but I doubt it would be much help.http://www.bucksfhs.org.uk/shop/ind...ufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=2
