Genealogical dead ends revisted

I’ve been revisiting all the genealogical dead ends I’ve encountered, and have started to go through my ancestors generation by generation. This forms part of my planning of fantasy ancestry road trips by looking at where they all hail from, which include:

Lancashire: My mother and her siblings appear to be first of her family to have moved from a very small area in Lancashire since 1200 AD. My father also has Lancastrian ancestors through his Baxendale relatives, so that’s another trip sometime. Fortunately, a few of the ancestors were Innkeepers, and Northcote where my great grandmother lived is now a Michelin Starred restaurant. That might make up for the weather.

Midlands: This wouldn’t normally have been travel destination I’d have considered, but a large cluster of ancestors hail from here through my grandmother Rosemary Louise Fitzherbert Wright‘s family. This includes some amazing homes to visit like Tissington, andYeldersley Hall where my grandmother was born. There’s also Ostmaston Park where Ostmaston Manor once stood, but it’s privately owned, so permission may be required. Who knows there may even be Industrial relics from the Butterly Company to be seen too, and even other ancestral homes. Not sure I’ll be able to persuade my family to take more than a short break to the Midlands though.

Scotland:
I’ve already started planning my fantasy ancestry road trip to the highlands. The further I go back the more there is to possibly see, but also the more difficult it is to pinpoint exact locations because the families owned regions. As such, it’s not clear where each generation actually lived. I could also plan another trip for Edinburgh and surrounding area around my Maitland ancestors. My wife went to Edinburgh University and I have cousins there, so it might be an easier trip to arrange and agree on. Again this would probably be a long weekend rather than a full-blown holiday.

International:
I’ve got back to around 1600 and I’ve already identified ancestors that lived or were born in Ceylon, Germany, West Indies, Ireland, and India. It’s been over 10 years since I was in Sri Lanka, and I had no idea about the Maitland’s Theresia tea plantation in Bogawantalawa back then. Would be great to visit some time. I think it’s probably the Mailtland family photographs from Charles Daniel that have brought these ancestors to life because I have less inclination to do any ancestry sight seeing in Ireland, the West Indies and India. Perhaps this is just the post-colonial guilt about the Raj and plantations. I would, however, like to visit Rostock on the Baltic in what was Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Some of my German ancestors hail from here and it looks like a great place for short break, particularly if there are cheap flight to be had.

Other locations:
There’s probably a list I could put together for London. Also my my great grandfather Ernest Beresford FitzHerbert Wright moved around a lot to some quite spectacular homes, so I might plot that as a journey some time.

It’s also been interesting to see what my ancestors actually did, or at least the men. Fighting seemed to be a common occupation, particularly for the Scottish ancestors the further I go back. As my cousin Hamish points out, it’s rather amazing that there’s are any Scots left at all. I’ll look at what all my ancestors did another time, as this has been a bit of marathon effort and I’m now running out of steam. I’m grateful to my cousin Hamish for all his hard work as almost all of the links below link through to his family tree on RootsWeb. I’ve only added a handful of new ancestors.

Notes: The first genealogical dead-end.  The father of my maternal great grandmother Annie Mary Hartley is unknown. She was known as Annie Astley Bell, and it’s very likely that she was illegitimate. I’ve written more on this here.

GT GT GT GRANDPARENTS:
Paternal: George Goldsmith Kirby, Conveyancer and Assurance Agent (London) & Harriet Sarah Watts (Essex) | Lloyd Baxendale, Transporter (Lancashire) & Ellen Turner (Cheshire) | George Ramsay Maitland, W.S. Solicitor, (Edinburgh) & Alice Anne Nisbet (India) | Angus MacDonell, of Keppoch, Farmer (Argyllshire) & Christina MacNab (Inverness-shire) | Francis Wright, Banker and Industrialist  (Nottinghamshire) & Selina FitzHerbert (Derbyshire) | Ernst Christopher Frederich von Beckman, Clergyman, & Magdalena Wilhelmine Louise Brockmann (Mecklenburg-Schwerin) | Sir Charles James Fox, Civil Engineer, & Mary Brookhouse (Derbyshire)

Notes: Francis Wright & Selina FitzHerbert are parents of FitzHerbert Wright & Mary Wright from the previous generation.

Maternal: David Birtwistle, Farmer and Calico Printer, & Letty Hayes (Lancashire) | Thomas Holland, Grocer & Unknown (Lancashire) | Ralph Hartley, Inn Keeper & Ann Cunliffe (Lancashire) | Andrew Edward Marwood, Weaver, & Elizabeth Thomas (Lancashire) | Patrick McKenna, Umbrella Maker & Unknown (Lancashire?) | (Lancashire) | John Walker, Husbandman, & Margaret Parkinson | Henry Smith, Waste dealer, & Mary [Unknown] (Lancashire)

Notes: There’s a number of my maternal great great great parents that I haven’t been able to find out more about, including: the wife of Thomas Holland the Grocer; the wife of Patrick McKenna the Umbrella Maker; and the surname of Mary the wife of Henry Smith the Waste dealer. Given the success ‘cousin Billy’ had with the Birtwistle family then I’m sure more could be discovered via Parish records.

GT GT GT GT GRANDPARENTS:
Paternal: George Kirby (poss. London) & Unknown (poss. Mary Ann Witch) | Joseph Watts & Hannah [Unknown] (Essex) | Joseph Baxendale, Transporter & Magistrate, & Mary Birley (Lancashire) | Rev. Joseph Turner,  Clergyman, and Ellen [Unkown] (Lancashire) | Alexander Maitland, Advocate at Scottish bar, & Susan Ramsay (Edinburgh) | Josiah Nisbet, HEICCS, Madras Civil Service, & Rachel Marjoribanks (Edinburgh) | Donald Macdonell, farmer (Inverness-shire) & Anne MacDonald (Sutherlandshire) | John MacNab, farmer?

Notes: This is where I’ve got to with our direct Kirby ancestors. The Gray’s Inn Admission Register has an entry for our great great great grandfather George Goldsmith Kirby on 1 July 1825: George Goldsmith Kirby, only son of George K., of Kensall Green, Middlesex, gent. But we do not know more than this. A genealogist suggested that his wife may have been Mary Ann Witch, but this wasn’t confirmed. Other loose ends, include: the faimily of Joseph Watts‘s wife Hannah; and the family of Ellen the wife of the Rev. Joseph Turner. I thought Ellen might be a Kirby, and a possibly key the Kirby family mystery because one of her sons was christened Joseph ‘Kirby’ Turner. However, I found another Kirby Turner from a earlier generation. This might be a red herring, but you can read my theories here and here.

Maternal: James Birtwistle, of Stoops & Betty Eddleston (Lancashire) | Unknown Hayes | Unknown Thomas | Unknown Hartley | John Cunliffe & Priscilla Riley (Lancashire) | Andrew Marwood  & Elizabeth Berry (Lancashire?)| Unknown Thomas | Unknown McKenna | John Walker (of Ambrose Hall?) & Mary Arrowsmith (Lancashire) | James Parkinson, Corn dealer, & Deborah Salthouse (Lancashire) | Unknown Smith

Notes: After this generation we start to know less about my mother’s side of the family, although her Birtwistle ancestors are well documented thanks to 2 books by her relative William A Birtwistle, The Birtwistle family 1200-1850 A.D (1990) and Birtwistle: A Family of East Lancashire Cotton Manufacturers (2001).

My grandmother thought that her Walker relatives were related to Sir Robert Peel, but despite several attempts I’ve not been able to find any connection between the two families even though they are from the same part of the World. It was also believed by my mother’s Marwood relatives that they hailed from Devon. I’m not sure how I’d go about proving this through desktop genealogical research, and even if I could check parish records it becomes harder to match records when families move from one parish to another, let alone when they move from county to county. What we do know is that her Marwood and Walker ancestors were Lancashire Catholics, and through Mary Arrowsmith this side of her family believed they were related to Recusant martyr Edmund Arrowsmith who was from Haydock in Lancashire.

Notes: The further I go back the more amazed I am about how much me know about my father’s ancestors, particularly how little we know about the Kirby family. Seems like the Kirby family married well, or for money as my Grandmother Rosemary Wright is alleged to have said.

Notes: I’ve added James Mansfield and Janet Macintosh who are not on cousin Hamish’s tree. They’re details are from The Book of the Old Edinburgh Club, New Series Volume 6 (2005), ‘From James Mansfield to Ramsays, Bonars & Company: some notes on the story of a private bank’ by Zella Ashford. I’ll post about this soon.

Also added: Grizel Gordon from the Clan MacFarlane Genealogy site.

I did not include Murdoch Macdonald (the father of the Rev. Patrick Macdonald, of Kilmore) in this generation because he has already been included in the previous generation.

This was as far as I’ve got with my closest German ancestors, but there’s likely to be more discoveries by others given the shared ancestry with Fergie.

Thomas Gibson, of Clifton Hall and John Gibson, of Durie both have common ancestry, which leads to duplications in generation below:

Thomas Gibson, of Clifton Hall >> Sir Alexander Gibson, of Pentland  & Helen Fleming, of Rathobyres

In addition, Charles Hamilton (Lanarkshire), William Hamilton’s (3rd of Wishaw) 1st wife Mary Erskine. Robert Hamilton, younger of Wishaw, is the son of William Hamilton‘s (3rd of Wishaw) 2nd wife  & Anne Hamilton , of Udston.

I also found out that Hon. Archibald Stuart of Dunearn, Fife (? – February 1688), Governor of Stirling Castle, married in 1669 Anna Henderson, daughter of Sir John Henderson, 5th of Fordell and wife Margaret Menteith, and had one daughter (Sources: Wijipedia James Stuart, 4th Earl of Moray and Rootsweb Brown-Gwinn Genealogy).

John Reeder & Isabell Gattley married in 1655, but after this point it’s only the Birtwistle ancestors on my mother’s side of the family we know about thanks to the work of our relation William A. Birtwistle. It should in theory be possible to find out more about her Lancastrian ancestors from parish records, particularly if the families didn’t stray too far. Perhaps others will look into our joint ancestors, and I’ll pick this up from my desktop research.

Sir Robert Stewart, 1st Bt.of Allanbank, is most likely Sir Robert Steuart of Allanbank (1643–1707) 1st baronet of Allanbank, 7th and youngest son of the Lord Provost (See Wikipedia: Steuart baronets). The Wikipedia entry for (Lord Provost)_James Steuart of Coltness explains that In 1630 he married Anne, daughter of Henry Hope and niece of the Lord Advocate Sir Thomas Hope of Craighall. She died in 1646, and Steuart married in 1648 Marion, widow of Sir John Elliott and only daughter and heiress of David McCulloch, of Goodtrees.  His children by his first marriage included Sir Thomas Steuart, 1st Baronet, of Coltness; James Steuart (1635–1713), of Goodtrees; and Sir Robert Steuart, 1st Baronet, of Allanbank.
