Searching through Tingsted churchbooks and census records today. Dec 16, 1803 is my best choice for a marriage date of my 5th great-grandparents Hans Pedersen (Kylling) and Birthe Olesdatter, who were married in Systofte, Maribo, Denmark.
Today I am looking for other records.
Hans Pedersen Kylling was 67 years old in the 1840 census. His wife was a widow (Enke) in 1845. Searching the churchbook for 1824-1841, I found his death January 11, 1841 at the age of 68.
Checking for his wife Birthe's death 1858-1891 Tingsted, no luck
found him
- baps of children, especially Niels Hansen & Peder Hansen who appear in the census records but not on familysearch.org (only found *Else, Kirsten & Ane Magreth)

175th Birthday of William MERCER
William MERCER, son of George MERCER and his wife Jane of Port-de-Grave, Newfoundland, we believe to have been born October 10th, 1836. He was baptized some time in 1837 by Thomas Anguin, minister.
William married Hannah ROSE (born 1838 in Catalina, NF) of Brigus, daughter of John ROSE and Diana WHEALEN / WHALEN/ WHELAN. The couple married 11 December 1865 in Brigus. They spent much of their married lives in Kelligrews.
William and Hannah Mercer had two sons and five daughters:
- Mary Ann, married Walter Boutcher
- George died about 1905 in the US
- Elizabeth Jane, married Gustavus Langmus in NYC 1911, died 1938
- Martha Augusta, married Andrew Dart in Grand Bruit Newfoundland, died Bell Island
- Harriet, married Richard Lamswood, died Bell Island
** Hannah Rose, married Llewellyn Adams, died Montreal, Quebec (my great-grandmother)
- William John. married Edith Butler, died Kelligrews
William MERCER Sr. died an unfortunate death, as reported in the newspaper:
“The Evening Telegram”
St. John’s, Newfoundland Friday, March 6, 1903 page 3
NOTES FROM KELLIGREWS
There passed away at Kelligrews on Tuesday night a well-known and respected resident in the person of Mr. William Mercer. The deceased had been ill for a period of two weeks, the latter part of which time he suffered indescribable misery. The accident which led to his death was met with under very sad and peculiar circumstances. He left his home on Wednesday morning, the 18th ultimo, and drove to town accompanied by is daughter, Mrs. Lambswood, and after doing certain business there, he left to return home alone, and his daughter, acting under his advice took the
Evening Train
as it was too frosty to go over the road. He arrived at Octagon Lake at 6:30 p.m., and expecting to have a smart drive across the lake, he sat down upon a barrel which formed part of his load and urged is horse to a trot, but the animal in some unaccountable way ran upon a bank of snow which was piled up in forming the race course. One of his runners cut through the crust, and is slide being loaded high, instantly capsized throwing him backwards on the ice. Seeing the horse had fallen also he immediately attempted to rise, but strange to say, found himself utterly unable to move, his limbs being
Entirely Paralyzed.
Finding every effort to free himself from the death grip in vain, and feeling he must soon freeze to death, he called to the inmates of the Octagon in the hope that someone may hear and come to his assistance. Finally, after two long dreadful hours of agony, his cries were heard by some ladies who were on a visit to the Octagon, and were returning home. They found him chilled and exhausted, and his left hand, which was exposed, being dreadfully frostbitten. They managed, after some time, to convey him to Mr. Drukens’ house, where they did all they could to comfort him, until he was taken home, where he was since attended by Dr. Chisolm.
But in Spite of All Care,
skill and attendance, that unrelenting agel of death hovered by his bedside. The voice of God had called him, and his poor, suffering body was relieved at 11:45 on Tuesday night, when his spirit passed to the great beyond. He was aged 67, and leaves a wife, two sons and five daughters to mourn their sad loss. But, why should we mourn for him whose gone, or shake at death’s alarms, for death’s the message sends to call him to his arms. His funeral will take place on Friday, and will be attended by the S.U.F. in procession, by whom he was loved and respected as an old and faithful member.

285th anniversary of the baptism of Elizabeth MARCHANT
Elizabeth was my 6th great-grandmother. Her parents were Richard MARCHANT and Mary EVETT.
She was the eldest of six children. Only one sibling survived to adulthood, her brother Jabez who was six years younger. Elizabeth was baptized 26 June 1726 in Bath, Somerset, England.
Elizabeth MARCHANT married Vickris DICKINSON 15 May 1746 in Comberwell, Wiltshire. This seems to refer to modern day Cumberwell, near Bradford on Avon in Wiltshire. This was Vickris' second marriage; his first wife Martha Reeve left him a widow with an infant son, Caleb Dickinson (1740-1820).
Their first child, Richard was born in 1747, but died as an infant and was buried May 8, 1747. Elizabeth's mother, Mary Marchant (nee EVETT) died less than two years later. The couple's second child and our ancestor Mary Dickinson was born in 1748 and lived until 1799. Mary married Henry CRESWICKE of Hanham Court, near Bristol. Other children are Elizabeth and Richard (both died in infancy), Francis (died at the age of twelve) and Charles, who married Catherine Allingham.
Elizabeth was buried January 21, 1790 in Bristol.

Yesterday was the anniversary of the baptism of Simon DICKINSON
Simon DICKINSON was baptized June 24, 1541 in Bradley, Staffordshire, England. He was my 10th great-grandfather. I have added him to our tree at ancestry.
Simon's parents were Richard DICKINSON (b.1521) and Elizabeth BAGNALL. Richard was a Magistrate who lived at Bradley Hall, in Staffordshire. The couple were married about 1540. Simon was named for his maternal grandfather, Simon BAGNALL
There is some contention about Simon's parents. Some believe them to be James DICKINSON and Elizabeth HASLELOCK.
Here is a fine line drawing and description of Bradley Hall.
Previously I had thought Bradley Hall to be in Bradley, Staffordshire. It seems that it was actually in Kingswinford. There is a local connection to the Gunpowder Plot of 1605.
Simon Dickinson married Katherine SUTTON on February 21, 1541 in Bradley Hall, Staffordshire. They had at least four children: Edward, Dudley, Eleanor & William.
Simon died in 1613 in Bradley Hall, Staffordshire.

Rubbing shoulders with Danish Royalty...
On my mother's side:
Rev. David Lindsay, my 11th great-grandfather, sailed to Norway with James VI of Scotland to fetch Anne of Denmark, daughter of Frederick II of Denmark & Sophie of Mecklenburg-Gustrow. He married them in Old Bishop's Palace in Oslo in Nov 1589. Anne was previously married by proxy to James VI, in August of that year at Kronborg Castle, known as the setting of Hamlet. Anne had tried to sail to Scotland, but was forced back to the shores of Norway, where she travelled overland to Oslo.
In 1589, the king of united Denmark-Norway was Christian IV, who reigned from 1588-1648. Christian IV succeeded his father at the age of 11, and was the longest reigning monarch of Denmark.
On my father's side,
Jacob Bording, my 13th great-grandfather, was the personal physician of Denmark and Norway's King Christian III. Jacob's daughter Johanna Bording married Lucas Bacmeister, my12th great-grandfather, who had tutored Johann & Magnus, the younger sons of Christian III in 1553 - 1556.

FHL film 2376464 - from the State Archive of the Transcarpathian Region in Uzhorod (now Ukraine)
Trying to figure out if these records will contain anything about Iza, which is certainly in the region. Of course I do not (yet!) read Cyrillic or speak Russian so simply finding out what is there is no small task indeed.
from the Family Search catalog entry: , translated using Google Translate, and rearranged so I can make better sense of the record entry.
"Greek Catholic Church records (births, marriages, deaths, extracts, miscellaneous church records and correspondance) for multiple locations of Mukacheve Eparchy in Ungvár, Ung, Hungary and Ung district; later Užhorod, Podkarpatská Rus, Czechoslovakia; now Uzhorod, Zakarpattia, Ukraine
and Munkács, Bereg, Hungary; later Mukačevo, Podkarpatská Rus, Czechoslovakia; now Mukacheve, Zakarpattia, Ukraine. Text in Russian and Ukrainian."
I am assuming that there are several Items included on each film?
I do not have any idea what the notation "F. 151, Fr. 2, d. 134" on 2376464 might mean.
In the original Cyrillic it appears as "Ф. 151, о. 2, д. 134"
Could this refer to frame numbers on the microfilm? Districts or villages within the region? (wishful thinking on my part). There seems to be some level of duplication.
I am hoping there are actual names involved and not simply a summary of the numbers of baptisms / marriages performed. The word 'bulletin' (Ведомости) throws me for a loop.

Some Immigrants from IZA arriving at Ellis Island 1905-1924
.
At the OGS conference in Hamilton this past weekend I was fortunate enough to attend several of Lisa Alzo's sessions. I am listening as I type to her webinar on researching immigrant ancestors. I am now a huge fan, and have several of her books including Baba's Kitchen and Three Slovak Women.
At her suggestion, I am attempting to find a researcher who will be able to help me determine which records (if any) exist for our ancestral village of Iza. I have not had any luck finding anyone able to do so.
For the time being, I am going to start transcribing records for any and all immigrants from Iza. I would be very happy to hear from anyone interesting in researching Iza or other villages near to Khust.

The Carpatho-Rusyn Village of IZA
.
One frustrating brick wall in our research continues to be the difficulty in locating records for our ancestral village of Iza. I would welcome any contact from others interested in this village or region. If I have made any errors, any corrections would be appreciated. As always, this is a work in progress. We would be interested in collaborating.
Anna Voitenko has taken some striking photographs of Iza.
Vasil SABO (also known as Bill) and his wife Maria SABO came to Ontario from Iza in 1930.
They were born in Iza in the 1890s. They married around 1919 in Iza, and had three children there. In Canada, they had an additional six children.
Other surnames include:
VUCHKAN / VUCKAN,
SABOV / SABOE,
MIKLUS / MYKLUSCH / McLUSH
For a long time, Iza was a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Vasil and Maria Sabo could claim to be born in Hungary.
Iza in the Maramaros district in 1912
A closer look: Iza is 3 miles north of Huszt (Hungarian) / Khust (Ukrainian)
By the time Vasil Sabo migrated to the United States to work in the early 1920s, Iza was considered part of the Sub-Carpathian Rus region of Czechoslovakia.
There is a geocache in the nearby city of Khust: UKRDOUG Castle Tours - Khust Fortress. The Khust Fortress was build in the 11th Century by the Hungarian King Ladislaus I. Unfortunately, the castle was destroyed by Mongolian warriors led by a son of Genghis Khan in 1243.
One frustrating brick wall in our research continues to be the difficulty in locating records for our ancestral village of Iza. I would welcome any contact from others interested in this village or region. If I have made any errors, any corrections would be appreciated. As always, this is a work in progress. We would be interested in collaborating.

Happy Birthday to Anna Marie POULSEN of Ålborg, Denmark
.
Anna Marie POULSEN was my father's paternal grandmother. Her parents were Christian Peter POULSEN and Mathilde Marie LORENTZDATTER.
My grandfather, Poul Robert Werner POULSEN (1908-1979) was not raised by his mother. He was fostered by the BACH family of Nørresundby.
Anna Marie POULSEN had three children. Her first child, Poula Jorga Mathilde was born in 1906 and died that same year. My grandfather was the second child. Her third child, Carl Ewald, was born in 1910. We have been unable to discover any more about him.
Perhaps the greatest mystery for us is the father of Poul R.W. Poulsen. He met him only once, and considered the Bach family to be his true family. He did not tell his sons the name of his father before his death in 1979.
I do not know when Anna Marie died, or if she ever married. She did return home from the city of Aalborg to tend to her ailing parents.

Catherine ?, married Daniel SICORD abt. 1696
- Many records say she was Catherine WOERTMAN, daughter of Dirck Jans Woertman and Marrietje Denyse of Brooklyn, born 2 April 1677 in Brooklyn
- unfortunately, that Catherine WOERTMAN seems to have died as a child
- Other sources say she is Catherine WATERBROOKS, possibly dau. of Dennis and Elizabeth

more about Henry LAMB of Ely, Cambridgeshire
Cambridgeshire Chronicle, 19 March 1785, page 3.
HENRY LAMB takes this opportunity of acquainting the public, That he has lately removed from the SHIP INN in Ely, to the RED LION Inn there, and neatly fitted up the house, and laid in a quantity of right good fresh liquors of all kinds, where he hopes for a continuance of the favors of his friends, and those who chuse to honor him with their custom, may be assured of meeting with civil usage, and good accommodation and entertainment.
Henry LAMBs son-in-law William SHELVERTON, husband of Henry's daughter Mary LAMB, took over as innkeeper of the Red Lion in 1790. This was to be only for a short time - the inn and its contents were auctioned off in 1792.
For Easter - Elizabeth LAMB, chr. April 24 1696, Abdie, Fife

Elizabeth Margaret PETERS
.
A courageous woman, who extricated herself from an unpleasant situation and made a good life for her daughter (my husband's great-grandmother) and herself. I wish I knew more about her. At various point in her life, she went by Elizabeth, Margaret, Elizabeth Margaret, and Margaret Elizabeth.
Siblings
Emily 1849-1852
Anne 1851, married 1870 James Cheesman (hawker)
Eliza 1859, visiting married sister Emily 1881 (cloth sorter),
Emily 1861, married William Gould (costermonger) 1879,
2 Aug 1880
Elizabeth Margaret PETERS married James LOCKETT, her neighbour. The marriage was witnessed by his older sister Mary Ann Lockett. Her father William PETERS, skin dresser, died five years earlier, when Elizabeth Margaret was eleven years old. She had three older sisters. Their mother died before the end of 1880. Perhaps the mother was already ill at the time of the marriage.
Apr. 1881 Census Margaret Lockett (nee Peters) was living with her husband James LOCKETT in Tottenham. Shortly afterwards she would be pregnant with her first child.
Jan 29, 1882 Margaret has returned to her parent's address at the time of her daughter's baptism.(Not sure who was living at 3 Hearns Buildings in 1881 census?) Presumably she and her daughter Annie Eliza had little or no further contact with James Lockett after she left.
Apr 1891 - 2 Willow Grove, Bermondsey
She is calling herself Elizabeth ATKINSON, living with her husband William ATKINSON, a tanner's labourer. Annie Eliza has taken her stepfather's name. The couple have three children besides Annie Eliza - Emily (age 5), Henry (age 2) and William (age 1)
- at Emily's baptism Mar 1886, her mother is listed as Margaret
Apr 1901 - 66 Elsted Street
Annie Eliza is married and has just had twins, not yet named. Elizabeth Margaret ATKINSON's 1st grandchild, John Drake, is staying with his grandparents. Emily is 15, Henry 13, William 11. New children are Alfred (8), Albert (5), Minnie (3), and Frank (1) - same age as his nephew John Drake.
1902 William and Elizabeth Margaret PETERS youngest daughter is born, Ada Jane.
Apr 1911 - Chelmsford, Essex
Alfred, Albert, Minnie, Frank and Ada Jane are still at home (ages 18-9)
Annie Eliza DRAKE has emigrated to Ontario with her family.
Emily has married William HAYNE
Henry is now a butcher, boarding in Kent, soon to emigrate to New Zealand 1912
William? not sure where in Canada in 1911, presumably Vancouver BC (he was a greengrocer there in 1910) also a butcher by 1915
When William enlisted in 1915, his mother Margaret Elizabeth Atkinson was living in Leytonstone, Essex.
At that time, he was in Canada (Hamilton! 16 Apr. 1915)
Frank emigrated to British Columbia later on as well.
Elizabeth Margaret Atkinson died in Essex in 1948 at the age of 84. (5a 106)

Dinah GILBERT was baptised on Sound Island, Newfoundland Feb 15, 1814. Her parents were John and Mary Gilbert. We don't yet know her mother Mary's maiden name. She must have died while Dinah was a child, because her father John Gilbert remarried November 6, 1827 to Mary Ann BEAZLEY in Burin, Newfoundland.
Dinah married Henry BECK 26 September 1831, also on Sound Island. They had eight children, including Matilda BECK, baptised September 1837, who married Jonathan BOUTCHER on Sound Island in 1856.

Joshua and Sarah Farrar were the 5th great-grandparents of my children.
Joshua Stogdale Farrar was baptised in 1787, son of Joshua FARRAR and Ann HUTCHINSON.
(Not sure where the Stogdale comes from. There is a Joshua Stogdale that married a Rachel Musgrave in St. Peters Leeds November 1927. Are the names a coincidence?)
He married Sarah LOWE at St. Peters in 1809. Sarah was christened at St. Peters in 1787, daughter of Samuel.
Their nine children were baptised at St. Peters over a twenty year span between 1809 and 1830.
Mary 1809
George 1811 (married Eliza ?)
William 1814 (married Sarah Dixon)
Joshua 1815 (died as an infant)
*Rachel 1816
Sarah 1819
Josiah 1821
Ann 1827
John 1830 (died as a teenager)
Their daughter Rachel bap. 1816 married Abraham NEILD there in 1835, just a couple of years before they rebuilt the parish church of St. Peters.
in 1841, Joshua Stugdale Farrar was a Slate River, which according to http://rmhh.co.uk/occup/s.html is someone who would cleave blocks of quarried slate in the making of slates for roofing and other uses.
