Part 681mac – Smith McCullogh Genealogy – Updated McCullogh / Aldridge / Christie Descendant Chart

Good Day,

I am working in my area of genealogy to update a number of my Descendant Charts. As they continue to grow I have a number of options, including splitting them into individual Family Lines. But it is sometimes more conducive to been able to visualize as much detail on one presentation. It is certainly better than having to flip from image to image, albeit, page to page…

The only problem with the ever-expanding Descendant Charts and fitting them onto one page, aka computer screen is that the text and details get smaller and smaller.

Or one could find a powerful magnifying glass. And so I try to create an image that is a crisp and clear as possible, without creating a memory hog image.

The above inserted image is my latest rendition of my McCullogh / Aldridge / Christie Descendant Chart. The image is a PNG formatted image, and all-things-being-equal it is easier to view than the previous JPG image.

I will be adding this Descendant Chart to the McCullogh drop down menu at the top of the page of A Genealogy Hunt.

And thanks Ken.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, comments, ideas, and thoughts.

Enjoy,

Part 652acm – Smith McCullogh Genealogy – Three New Descendant Charts – McCullogh, Aldridge, and Christie

Burrowed in my house on this gorgeous breezy, albeit windy day, in sunny Tampa, I am closeting myself away from the floating, yellow microbes of the latest pollen assault. I feel claustrophobic, but my eyes, my nose, and my throat, and my diaphragm sort-of thank me for the consideration.

So what do I do cooped up, sans air frais… I attack my PC with the gusto of a genealogy search and rescue mission.

As promised, previously, and due to the expansion of the McCullogh/Aldridge/Christie Descendant Chart I have attempted to re-created three separate new and singular Family Line Charts…

McCullogh Descendant Chart –

Aldridge Descendant Chart –

Christie Descendant Chart –

These should now all be able to be accessed under the top McCullogh label, just under the “t” in the A Genealogy Hunt title at the top of each page.

I am now working on a Trefry Descendant Chart which should expand JK’s maternal line and lineage.

Stay tuned,

Enjoy,

Part 651a – Smith McCullogh Genealogy – GGGG-Grandparents Thomas and Mary Aldridge – 12 Children

Good Day,

YES, the pollen count is high… Just ask my eyes, ask my nose. Deadened ears by sonic-choos. See the boxes of Kleenex in every room of this house. And two more months of this cranial hell.

Today I continue my focus on the genealogy and construction of the ancestry of the Aldridge Family line.

Following the lead from the 1851 England Census, see Part 650a,on which it is enumerated that JK’s great-great-great-grandfather Thomas Aldridge was born in “Yorkshire Beverly”. I discovered a microfiche, FHL [6910853] with included extractions from microfilm copies of Bishop’s Transcripts from microfilms FHL [0919386-0919387; 0919421 Item 1].

Here is a generation of my updated McCullogh / Aldridge / Christie Descendant Chart. Shortly, and due to the development and expansion of data and information, I may have to sub-divide the one into multiple Charts.

All-things-being-equal there are three Thomas Aldridges; a father, and two sons christened 29 Sep 1809 and 24 Jun 1815, respectively. There are actually a total of 12 children attributed to the parents, gggg-grandparents Thomas and Mary Aldridge. As two of the sons are both named Thomas I would venture a guess, based on my research experience, that the elder Thomas may have passed away in infancy, and that the second Thomas was given the name Thomas in his stead. The second Thomas is who I believe may be JK’s ggg-grandfather.

It can be deduced that JK’s gggg-grandparents may have been Thomas and Mary Aldridge, the identified parents of the 12 Aldridge children.

I have inserted a downloaded image of the printout of the Beverley, Yorks. St. John and St. Martin Christenings, Page 10.

Note that gggg-grandmother Mary's maiden surname may have be Marsingate. Stay tuned.

Enjoy,

Part 613ma – Smith McCullogh Genealogy - Addition to McCullogh/Aldridge/Christie Descendant Chart

Good day,

And here we go again. I have discovered some new, possible additions to the McCullogh Family Tree. But as yet, these are tenuous additions of the Aldridge genealogy. My previous McCullagh/Aldridge Posting to A Genealogy Hunt is Part 607ma.

We know that JK’s great-great-grandmother was born in England. This fact is supported by the information provided on corresponding Canada Censuses. The 1901 Canada Census of Montreal, Quebec records gg-grandmother Julia Adelaide (née Aldridge) McCullagh’s birth as “8 Fevrier 1863” or translated “8 February 1863”.

I have discovered the 1861 England Census page and a Parish Baptism Register entry that in all consideration could provide leads to the genealogy and ancestry of gg-grandmother Julia. The issues are the corresponding dates and calculation of her age and birth year. These I will continue to investigate. I will also follow up my notes in subsequent Postings to A Genealogy Hunt… So stay tuned.

Enjoy,

Jim

Part 577mw - Smith McCullogh Genealogy - 1924 Marriage - HM McCullogh and ECB Walker, Montreal, Canada

Good Evening,

And I continue to search and research the genealogy of the McCullogh Family Lines.

My next chance document is the Marriage Registration of JK's great-grand-uncle Henry "Harry" Mullen McCullogh and great-grandaunt Edna Catherine Bell Walker. They were married at the Walker's home at 67 Church Street in Montreal. It also appears, and this is just according to the signatures on the Registration entry that the Minister, George A. McIntosh may have been in some way related to the Bride's mother, Christie Ann (née McIntosh) Walker. Just a thought.

The inserted image is of 67 Rue de l'Église in Verdun, Montreal, Quebec. I am not sure if this is the actual location of the Walker home.  Had to think, thanks Ian, that Church Street today is in French Rue de l'Église.

From the Drouin Collection of the Quebec Vital and Church Records, 1621 – 1967, here is the 1924 image of the Marriage Registration for great-granduncle Henry "Harry" Mullen McCullogh and Edna Catherine Bell Walker.

Part 556p – Smith Robertson Genealogy – The Parker Project – Two New Parker Descendant Charts

Afternoon,

The 2nd set of insurance paper work is finished. There is no lightning overhead, as of yet… and I swear that I am not jinxed, or at least I should hope that I am not. Just think, this summer; Hit #1 – June 22nd; Hit #2 – August 12th. Does anyone know anything about complete house protective shields, shy of 1,500 ZapCap meters? And yes, JL I’m looking into lightning rods… but I think that they will not be of much help if the power surge comes through the ground and ground-low wiring.

In the continuing my Parker Project and my genealogy research and work, I have taken some time to re-create and update my Parker Descendant Chart. As more and more data and information is being uncovered I have had to take the route of creating two Descendant Charts to avoid visual impairment of me and my readers.

Here are the two new Charts: Parker Descendant Chart I –

Parker Descendant Chart II –

Please note that any new data and information, and the cross-references to A Genealogy Hunt Posts are in Red. I have attempted to identify those ancestors who are a part of my blood line with Blue symbols filled with Yellow.

Stay tuned for new information and data regarding my Yorkshire Parker Family Line you have any question and comments, please feel free to contact me.

Enjoy. The sky is still clear.

Part 186p – Smith Robertson Genealogy – 1809 Birth – GGG-Grandfather John Parker

Evening,

At sometimes I get very lucky.

Downham from St. Leonard's Churchyard

Image Source: Bill Boaden / CC BY-SA 2.0

Following my Parker Family search project and subsequent to Part 185pw in the FHL microfilm FHL [1278942] in Item 7 in the Parish Registers for Downham, 1653-1900, of the Church of England, Chapelry of Downham of Lancashire, I discovered a barely legible copy of the page containing the Baptismal Entry of ggg-grandfather John Parker.

The copy of the page from the Parish Register of the Baptism Entry follows:



And my transcription of the highlighted entry is:

1809
July
28? John Son of William and Mary Parker Downham
born May 28th . _____

Apart from the fact that the image of the page is extremely blurred, I am having a difficult time making out the word the follows the phrase “born May 28th.” I’m not sure if it a word that is crossed out or underlined, and if it is applicable to the entry. Anybody have any suggests?

I have updated the Parker Descendant Chart and have included it in this posting. I will also, shortly be adding it to the “Robertson Chart” link at the top of my Blog page.

Enjoy,

Jim

Part 185pw – Smith Robertson Genealogy – 1808 Marriage – GGGG-Grandparents William Parker and Mary Walker

Afternoon,

And as I have written, who knows what may turn up just around the bend… or in this case just around the turn of the microfilm reel.

One of the projects that I have been working on is that of trying to gather the pertinent and associated documentation for my maternal line as it relates to my mtDNA. My Haplogroup is H1a1. This is my maternal DNA that traces from me from my mother, née Robertson; from her mother, my grandmother Madge (née Goodey) Robertson; from her mother, my great-grandmother Mary Alice (née Crossley) Crossley; from her mother, my gg-grandmother Elizabeth (née Kendal) Parker; from her mother, my possible ggg-grandmother Isabella (née unknown) Kendal. You can read my initial writing at My Tangent dated 9 November 2009.

Accordingly the Kendal and Parker research that I am conducting centers near Clitheroe and Downham in Lancashire in England. And with that I discovered an FHL microfilm [1278942] which may offer some of the data that I am looking for.

In Item 10 of the microfilm of the documents, Parish Registers for Downham, 1653-1900, Church of England, Chapelry of Downham, Lancashire I came across, apart from others, the possible 1808 Marriage Registration for gggg-grandparents William and Mary (née Walker) Parker. And gggg-grandmother Mary’s maiden name Walker is a new find. The date of their marriage is 30 January 1808 at the Chapel of the Parish of Downham.

Here’s the highlighted page and entry –

And my transcription –

Page 18

(The Year of 1807 & 8)

No. 53 } William Parker and Mary Walker, both of this Pariʃh
and Parochial Chapelry
------------------------------ were
Married in this Chapel by Banns
this thirtieth Day of January in the Year One Thouʃand eight Hundred
and eight By me Thomas Wilson. Mintr.
This Marriage was ʃolemnized between Us { William X Parker’s Mark, Mary X Walker’s Mark
In the Preʃence of { William Robinson, John Hoyle

And following this I was able to find the 23 July 1809 Birth Registration of who appears to be their eldest son, ggg-grandfather John Parker.

I’ll be updating the Parker Descendant Chart after I post ggg-grandfather John’s Birth Entry. Stay tuned.

Enjoy,

Jim
