Dear Rosemary, We have an ancestor in common - i.e. Henry Nicolas Lionel Berkeley. I'm descended through his daughter's line, i.e. Harriet Berkeley married a Lieut Thomas Penn. Their daughter Eliza Harriet married Emanuel Anthony, and they are my great, great grandparents. My grandmother compiled a family tree, and my cousin in England has scoured the records of India House to verify dates etc. My grandmother died in Chunar and is buried in the cemetery there, which I visited last year. Please get in touch with me privately at margaret.deefholts@gmail.com

Another of the five children of Edmund and Mary was known as "Sally" Berkeley who's given name was probably the Sarah that you mentioned.

I, too, am researching the family of Col. Edmund Berkeley who married Mary Nelson. Mary was the daughter of Thomas "Scotch Tom" Nelson of "Offley Hoo" located in Hanover County, VA. She carried a dowry of several thousand acres in Hanover when she married Edmund. One of their five children, Nelson Berkeley, developed and built "Airwell" that was a part of the original Nelson grant given to Edmund as a dowry. ozzie5586@aol.com

Hi Rosemary,
Do you know if Reginald Adolphus Eugene Berkeley, b. 1827 had any sisters named Arabella Sophia Jane Berkeley, b. 1831 or Carolina Louisa Berkeley b. 1850? They were both born in India and married to Arthur Walshman Owen who was an officer in the Bengal army?

Thanks,

I have also in my line a Henry Nicholas Lionel Berkeley. He is my great grand father(4 generations back). I know that he had 3 children: one son and two daughters. The son died in the battle of Trafalgar, one daughter was married to a British colonel who died in Indian and the other daughter married a Prussian diplomat in London(1800)who is my great-great-great grandfather Louis Balan. My mother is born Balan. When you want further information about the Berkeley family I can do it. When you are from India perhaps you are related to the daughter of Nicholas Lionel Berkeley whose husband died in your country.I am looking forward to getting your information.

tojaybee — 2008-09-07 00:21:52Z

Hello Marion,

As this posting is more than 8 years old, I'm not certain if you are still monitoring messages here. I am a Berkeley, who is also searching for her roots.

According to my father, my grandfather was a Frank Berkeley, my great grandfather was Henry Berkeley and my great-great grandfather was George Berkeley. He told me that they originally came from Scotland, and Henry ended up in Grenada due to a military action. While there, he established and ran a rum distillery and had a race horse farm. My dad, James, was born in Grenville so, I assume both ventures were somewhere in that area of the island.

My dad's gone now, so I can't ask him any more questions. Do you - or anyone else - have any more information you might share with me?

Thank you!

Re: N.H. Fitzhardinge Berkeley

Auspices — 2008-07-24 19:00:29Z

Hi there. A lot of my male ancestors from India have "Fitzhardinge" as a middle name but I'm not aware of any surnamed Hardinges crossing my line that went out to India.
You can try doing a search on familysearch using only the surname field and India as the country. There's a marriage listing for your ancestor, Roderick Melwood Hardinge. It says he married Mary Ada Burgess on 4 June, 1890. It was registered in the Bengal Presidency. There are a lot more Hardinges and Hardings to be found in the familysearch listings. I found that my Berkeley ancestors were sometimes recorded with the misspelling "Berkely" or "Berkley" so you might not want to disqualify any Harding returns out of hand. Good luck!

Re: N.H. Fitzhardinge Berkeley

dmailing — 2008-07-24 15:42:13Z

Hi! I am tracing my father's background. He comes from a line of Hardinge's that left England for work in India. Do you have any Roderick M. Hardinge 's in your line -we believe the first to leave england was a John Hardinge.

Re: Julia Berkeley - d.o. Henry Berkeley and Elizabeth Pretyman

ejburley — 2008-03-24 08:13:58Z

Hi there Diana,
John Stoker Waugh and Dorah Berkeley are my G.G grandparents on my father's side. I have recently moved house and have a lot of paper based information that I'm slowly getting up on the web. My clan is a large one so as you can imagine progress is sometimes slow. I know that I have some information that you may be interested in and once I'm settled here I'll be more than happy to dip into the family archives for you.
Cheers, Eliza.

I know my daughter Pauline was in touch with you earlier, but due to her work which keeps very busy she is not able to do much on the family tree. Sorry to bother you, but have you been able to get any further information on the Berkeley family that were out here in India. I have started the search and would be really be glad if you could help.

My maiden name is Berkeley. Father's name is James Henry Berkeley. Grandfather's name was William Henry Berkeley b: 14 Apr 1915 in Washington, D.C. d: 23 Mar 2002. Unfortunately I can not find anything to go further back. Was told grandfather was adopted at age 2 along with an older brother of age 4 after parents died in accident. However, no one knows if Berkeley was adopted name or birth name. Anyone out there that can help me---much appreciated.

I know your post was several years ago, but are you still out there?

I'm researching history on my friend's family. She has:

Wm. Bradley BERKLEY, b: 23 Jan 1835, Boon, KY, m: Mary Hanna (Abotts) MCINTOSH, d: 13 Feb 1904, bur: Greenwood Cemetery.

Mary Hanna MCINTOSH, b: 23 Jan 1835 (typo? - same date as spouse), d: 25 Jun 1918. Daughter of Moore MCINTOSH, 1/2 Cherokee Indian.

Children of Wm. BERKLEY and Mary Hanna MCINTOSH:
Angelo BERKLEY
Alice (Allie) BERKLEY
Lily BERKLEY
Belle BERKLEY
Bascom Ashbury BERKLEY
Julia BERKLEY
Charlie BERKLEY
Catherine Auroria BERKLEY, b: 20 Jan 1873, Terre Haute, Vigo, IN, d: Oct 1961, Sioux City, Woodbury, IA.

My friend descends from Catherine BERKLEY and her husband James Wesley JOHNSON.

There are some differences in our info, but we still must be talking about the same family - right? I hope so.

Hi there. Can you tell us at which point your ancestry ties in with the Berkeleys? Do you know if you have any Berkeley ancestors that went out to India?

I descend from the 2nd Earl Berkeley in a line that went out to India during the 1700's and remained until the mid-19th century, at which point they returned to England and then came to the U.S. I live in California.

Berkeley was eminent and conspicuous in command of his battalion; was in the fighting of both days, and exhibited courage and skill in leading his men through action. His cool judgment and courage, and his skill in handling his men in encountering and overcoming the machinegun and rifle fire down Cinco de Mayo and parallel streets account for the small percentage of the losses of marines under his command.

Re: Berkeley's in Scotland - not Ireland.

2004-12-22 15:09:46Z

Teresa, There were Berkeleys in many parts of the US. Sir John was in NJ and then we had his brother Gov William in VA among others. Many of them were knighted. Mine are from England and were in Virginia. You will have to trace your line back. I cannot positively get mine past my gg-grandfather Benjamin Berkeley. Obviously he was not a Lord. He was a Captain in the Civil War but was never knighted. You may be able to find some more information on the internet about the Berkeleys of Stirling. Good Luck, Jan.
