Hi Fran,

My name is Sara Banbury and I grew up in Mount Elgin, about 5 minutes from Ingersoll. My grandfathers name was Jack and his siblings were Helen, Ina, and there was a pair of twins but not sure on their names exactly. The old banbury farm is still there outside of ingersoll although many things have changed. A family book was made up of the banbury chain and i believe my father still has it.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me, I realize this may be a lost cause because your post was over 12 years ago.

Banbury Family - Lost or forgotten relatives?

scotia2k9 — 2009-11-06 23:34:40Z

Hello all, Im trying to find out more about my Gr.Grandfather Daniel Banbury, born around 1883/8 (birth cert is hard to make out). He travelled from Ireland to New York & then returned with considerable money, which he invested in pit machinery. He married a divorcee older than him (Bridget - very riske in those days!) & Im convinced she already had three kids, Annie, Nellie & Cathy (although my mother doubts it) - & I think they then together had my grandfather Robert (Bob) & his brother James (Jim). Its my mums birthday on 18th November 2009 & Id love to find out more about her parents & descendants as a gift.

All help, tips, possibilities are so welcome since Im now drawing a blank.

Thank you!

Hello John,
That sounds exciting, and you have mentioned Mary so I believe you may well be family!
I'm still in contact with family in Ohio.
I have information from about 1690 - Present, although there are some questions/"holes" in the information.
I suppose the thing to do would be to submit a list of questions.
Just to get started, do you have any info about Thomas?

Re: Banbury in Cornwall

bruceevans41 — 2005-03-20 19:27:19Z

Hi,

The Banbury I'm looking for is Dr. George Richard Banbury, born about 1867 in India to a British army doctor serving with the British army in India. I have him in the 1891 Okehampton, Devon census living alone at age 24. He's listed as a "registered medical practitioner GP." He had a daughter, Constance Ethel Banbury, b 2 October 1892. I've found a matching birth registration in the Devon birth register index but family history has her being born in Bristo. Dr. George Banbury also had a son, Richard George Banbury born in 1893. Dr. George Banbury died at age 27 in 1893, reportedly from appendicitis. I can't find any record of his marriage.

Any connections in common?

I tried to email you but was rejected. Your post office said there was no such address as banbury@.madhousenet.co.uk

Banbury

2005-03-17 22:54:00Z

Does the surname Banbury ring a bell with anyone? Susan Banbury, c. 1850 emigrated to the States at an early age, settled in Illinois, married Jacob Myers in Hinkley, died in 1934. May have been Irish, but apparently came over on an English ship. Up against a wall here. Thanx in advance for any help.

Re: Banbury lookup

2005-02-25 20:02:55Z

Better data on Susan-from obit-born April 24, 1856; married 1879. May have emmigrated 1860-1870 from England, but origin in Ireland.

Banbury lookup

2005-02-25 19:55:25Z

Need help finding Susan Banbury, emigrated from England at "a very early age", married Jacob Myers in Hinkley, Illinois around 1876. Died 1934 in Genoa, Illinois. GGgrandma She may have come from Ireland.

Re: Banbury emigration

rosecaffrey — 2005-02-06 21:37:02Z

Wasn't able to find any trace of Susan in England. If she came to the US directly from Ireland then it will be very hard to trace. There are not many Ireland census records available. There is the Griffith's Valuation but it's sorted by county. I was able to find Susan on the 1910. I also believe I found Jacob and his family on the 1860, 1870 and 1880 in Paint Township, Clarion Co, PA. Williamsburg is in Clarion Co. I have attached the records. If this is the right Jacob Myers then he and Susan did not marry in 1879. What year was the eldest child born? Is it possible that Jacob was a second husband being that he is 2 years younger than Susan?

Re: Banbury emigration

2005-02-06 02:34:33Z

Really appreciate your efforts, Rose. Susan died in Genoa, Kane county, Illinois March 16, 1934. She and Jacob had five children - Ceadocia(my gggrandmother), Josiah, William, Christen and Clair. All of this from an obit. would really like to pin done her origins in England or Ireland, as the case may be.

Thanks again,
Chuck

Re: Banbury emigration

rosecaffrey — 2005-02-04 22:43:00Z

Decided to take one more stab at it and I think I found Susan on the 1900 census. She is at the top of the page with 2 children , a widow, living in Squaw Grove, DeKalb, Illinois. What do you think? Some information fits, some doesn't.

I have found while researching my own family you can't assume anything or trust people's memories. It's not until you find the records and documents do you have the real story and sometimes it will suprise you.

Take care
Rose

Re: Banbury emigration

rosecaffrey — 2005-02-04 21:58:14Z

If Susan and Jacob were married in 1879 then they should be together on the 1880 somewhere. They are not on the 1881 UK or Canada. Didn't find any other immigration record for Susan other than what I mentioned before. She is not on the Boston passenger list. She could have sailed to Canada then went to Illinois. Ancestry is till updating the 1900. Maybe Susan will turn up later.

Rose

Re: Banbury emigration

2005-02-04 19:50:37Z

Rose,

Appreciate your efforts.My Susan Myers nee Banbury did die in Genoa 1934. She was born April 24 1856 and emigrated at a "very early age" Married Jacob Myers 7/4/1879. He was born in Williamsburg, PA in 1859, died in Hinkley 1896. Stretching a point here and there, your info may be correct. So, apparently she was Irish.

Thanks ever so. Feel free to contact me directly: tottka@samlink.com

Re: Banbury emigration

rosecaffrey — 2005-02-04 17:01:19Z

I think I found Susan on the 1930, age 72, b in England, widow, living in Genoa, De Kalb, Ill.
Last name is spelled Meyer. Age at marriage is 23 which would make the marriage year about 1881. Shows immigration year as 1870. Do you think this might be her?
I can't find her on any previous census records. Since I don't know where and when Jacob was born, I can't pin him down either. The only immigration record I found for Susan Banbury arrived in May 1880 age 23, with her father and 3 brothers. They sailed from England but originated in Ireland.

Sorry I couldn't be more help

Rose

Re: Banbury emigration

2005-02-04 02:12:52Z

Hinkley is in DeKalb county, Illinois. Susan's married name was Myers. I have her obit, but it only says place of origin was England.
Thanks muchly.

Re: Banbury emigration

rosecaffrey — 2005-02-03 22:18:17Z

What county and state is Hinkley in? Didn't find any record of Susan but maybe I can trace back the information starting with the 1930 census record.
