I am in contact with George Kearney in Australia and The Mandall family are his ancesters......

Re: William Henry Fearon / Margaret Musgrave

8025938 — 2011-08-03 19:33:41Z

Margaret Osbourne Musgrave is the sister of my maternal grandfather, Joseph Musgrave. I have gravestone evidence that she died on 11th May 1946 in the USA. I don't know when she first emigrated, but she seems to have returned to England in May 1939 and then returned to the USA in October 1939. I have been researching the Musgrave family tree for some time now and have information going back to 1665, if you are interested. Margaret's brother, Hesket, was living in Michigan in 1930, so there could be some connection there.
In the 1960's, I used to write to a relation in the USA. She was called Joan, but I'm afraid that's all I can remember. She should be in her fifties now.
Would love to have any information that you have about the family after 1930, as that is as recent as I have been able to trace.

Hello Gloria -
There were many Fearon names in Distington, which is on the
'doorstep' of Workington. I have a large list which I took from the parish registers.
What Christian name are you looking at ?

Only just seen this.
Peter Fearon was my grandfather. He was living at 106, Olivia Street, Bootle in 1915. His widow, my grandmother Mary Fearon continued to live at that address until she died in 1965.

Their daughter Dorothy Fearon was my ancester born c.1764
and married Joseph Borrowscale

Thank you if anyone can help

Re: Fearon surname

Does anyone know the whereabouts of Abner ?

Thanks

Re: Fearon Family of Lorton

evening0900 — 2011-01-30 19:33:48Z

Hello - Many thanks for your interesting message.
Then we are 'cousins' as my ancestor is 'Dolly' Dorothy Fearon. She married Joseph Borrowscale at Lorton.
I expect you know they were children of Matthew Fearon of High Lorton. He was a Tailor' I have a copy of his Will.
The other children of Matthew/Isabel are:
Ann 1756: Mary 1758: Dorothy 1762: John 1764-1792
Mary marr: John Turrell 1796
(I have a contact in Australia who is also descended from Ann Fearon i.e.) George Kearney.
Sad that no-one knows anything of Isabel Twentyman. On her marriage entry she claimed she was of Brigham.
The father of Matthew was ABNER FEARON - Do you know anything of him. I know a little.
I did not know that the Mandalls were Quakers - the Borrowscale and Fearons were also in the very early years.
I expect one of your Mandal family emigrated ?
If you require any other info. let me know please.

I cannot help you with Isabel Twentiman's details, but I am interesdted in this family because I am descended from Ann Fearon, who married Robert Mandall 3rd Oct 1779 in Lorton.

Did you know the Fearons and Mandalls were Quakers?

Re: Fearons in County Armagh

reigerl — 2011-01-29 03:27:28Z

Jan,
I read your post with interest. Although I don't recognize any of the names, the places are all similar to my Fearon line. My g grandfather was born in Tandragee, County Armagh in May 1852. His father's name was Steven according to his death certicate. Mother unknown. He married Mary Kelly (b.Nov 1856) around 1878 or 1879. Location unknown but presumed in Ireland. They moved to Bootle, Liverpool and in 1879 they had a daughter Alice Fearn (Fearon) born there. Then a son George Fearn (Fearon) born in 1879. They immigrated to USA in 1882 and settled in Braddock, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, USA. They had six more children, Vincent 1882, Marie 1884, John 1886 (my grandfather), Mae 1889, Bernard 1890, Edward 1896.

I was wondering if you have found any siblings for your line? Did any of your line immigrate to the US? There was a Joseph Fearon living in the same area in PA but, I haven't found any connection.
Best regards, Linda

donall261 — 2011-01-28 03:09:48Z

Searching for any info about James Fearon, from Killeen, Co. Armagh. Married Anne Cassidy. Children, Mary Anne, Bridget (my grandmother), Elizabeth, Stephen, Margaret and Thomas.
Thank you,

Re: Thomas Fearon

donall261 — 2011-01-28 02:45:41Z

Not sure if there's a connection here, but the info I've got, my grandmother is from Killeen, Co. Armagh, upper Killeavy parish. She had a brother Thomas, her parents were James Fearon and Anne Cassidy. I don't have much more info other than dates. Thomas's birth/baptism date is Nov. 11, 1896. Hope there's some help for you in that.

Re: Fearons in County Armagh

wilding143 — 2011-01-26 22:11:23Z

Hello,
I have a birth reference for a Michael McManus in 1865. Mother Mary Ann Ferin (Fearon) maried to a James McManus in Meigh, Co. Armagh. James and Mary Ann married in 1864 in Newry, Armagh. Mary Ann's father was Peter Ferin (Ferran, Fearon).

James and Mary Ann were my paternal gt. gt grandparents and they are found in Liverpool from 1868. Their daughter Mary Ann McManus went on to marry a Patrick Fearon in Bootle, Liverpool in 1897. Patrick was born near Carlingford
Co. Louth - so not that far away from Meigh.

If you recognise any of these names I would be pleased to hear from you.

Re: Fearon's of St. Catherine, Jamaica

tp0121 — 2011-01-16 16:45:36Z

I apologise but I have one correction. The Fearons did not marry into the Goldson family but rather the Goldings family.

Fearon's of St. Catherine, Jamaica

tp0121 — 2011-01-16 16:43:25Z

I am seeking information on the Fearon family of St. Catherine. I am not sure if they originated from there however some of them resided in the Harkers Hall area and another area referred to as Bottom Field. Some descendants married into the following families: Wilson, Goldson & Burke. Any additional information anyone may have on this family would be greatly appreciated. We are planning a reunion this year.

Re: fearon

reigerl — 2011-01-16 07:44:48Z

This is in response to your post from July 1999. I just came across your post and thought I'd give it a try that you are still looking for Fearon's from Armaugh Cty Ireland. My GGrandfather was born in Tandragee, Armaugh. My ggrandfather was Bernard Fearon, wife, Mary Kelly. They immigrated from Liverpool, England to the US in 1882 and settled in Braddock, PA. I haven't found when they left Ireland to go to England. His father's name was Steven. I'd love to hear from you as this side of my family has been very difficult to trace.

Re: james henry fearon

linda_datalock — 2010-11-22 13:10:57Z

Hi Hayley, I'm in a similar situation with my gr gr grandfather, he is also James Feron (diff. spelling) his marriage, death cert. and census all have his mother as Janet Donaldson and father as Joshua Feron - Lanark Scotland; but I can't find his birth certificate, or the birth cert. for the first 4 children (all born after 1855). I've been trawling the sights looking for Feron's with a different spellings.
Often young men joined the army giving a faulse date of birth because they were too young to join up. Try making his date of birth a couple of years later!
It took me a long time to get my own granfathers birth certificate, he lied on his marriage certificate, to my Gran, about his age and who his parents were, turns out he had another wife 50 miles away. Good luck Linda

Dear Paul
I hope this gets to you and that you are well.
Several years ago we had a correspondence about the tomb stone of William Moss Robinson with Memorial to Paul John Fearon on the back of the stone. You asked me then if I would like a photograph and I thought it not worth troubling you but I have changed my mind. If it it not difficult could I ask you to email the pictures of this stone?
I am about to start more work on the Fearons and will let you know if I find anything of interest.
With many thanks and all the best

William Henry Fearon / Margaret Musgrave

gracespradlin_1 — 2010-09-27 00:07:41Z

I am looking for any information on my husband's great-grandfather, William Henry Fearon (d. 1948). He was married to Margaret Osborn Musgrave (b. Mar 1895, d. 1948). I have both their death years the same, tentatively, but have no way of knowing they are correct. Margaret was the daughter of James Musgrave and Sarah Osborn. They all lived in England.

William Henry Fearon and Margaret Osborn Musgrave had a son, James William Fearon (my husband's grandfather). Margaret and their son, James, traveled to Canada in 1939 and then James somehow ended up in Michigan.
