Information needed on Charles Nithsdale Born 1816

curlew100 — 2012-05-21 05:31:33Z

I am searching any information on a Charles Nithsdale who had a daughter Charlotte Nithsdale who married a David Tinnion Ross. I know Charles died in 1852 at Wortly Iron works, trying to find out who he was married to or any other decendants.
All help will be appreciated

Albert Gardiner

curlew100 — 2012-05-21 05:26:38Z

I am searching for decendants of a Albert Gardiner born about May 1896 who married a Sarah Annie Gardiner(nee Miller)my dads parents died when he was very young and have no connections to get information from. I think that Albert was the son of William Gardiner born about 1856 and a Jamima or Jemima Tortoise born about 1872. Would greatly appreciate any information. Anita Gardiner

It has been a long time since I have had time to be on here.
Loren F. Gardiner- all I know is that he went to Penn State back in the 20's or 30's and then met and married Mildred T. Lloyd in Woodbury, NJ. They moved to Maplewood, NJ. Now somewhere in the tree is a Mills. I don't know how the Mills' fit in to the Gardiners. If anyone can help...pls.

The Gardiners who reportedly came to Ontario during WWII went back to Ireland and bought farm land in County Cork.
They had stumbled upon Canadians whom they recognized as "cousins" originally from Ireland. This was an Anglo-Irish family with a long history in Ireland. Those Canadians had come over to Canada quite a while before WWII.

Gardiner is generally the more Irish spelling of the surname.

Re: Godfrey Gardiner

KisimulDream2011 — 2012-03-22 17:10:03Z

Thanks for the suggestion. The family may well have come from Ireland, but it would definitely have been well before WW11, as I do have documentation showing them as being in the US and Canada in the mid 1800's. Interestingly, my
g-grandfather, Godfrey Gardiner, did marry into an Irish family - the Doyles - and my grandfather, John Henry Gardner, married into an Irish family as well - the Coyles! They all settled in Ontario, Canada. But, Ireland just may be the place to move to, rather than trying to follow the thread from Canada. Unfortunately, my grandfather Gardner had 5 girls, no sons, so we can't even follow the DNA path here. Thanks again, Pat

KisimulDream2011,
> I suspect that if you could trace your line back to Ireland you would find yourself in County Cork in the area of Mallow. Do you have any thoughts about this?
> I talked with some Gardiner relations from that area who said that during WWII some of the men in their family went to Ontario to do necessary farm work since so many Canadian farmers were off at war. They discovered that there were distant cousins of theirs near the farms where they worked.
Now don't ask me where that was I really don't know.

KisimulDream2011 — 2012-03-21 02:11:30Z

I've been researching my Mothers' family, the Gardiner family of Welland/Lincoln Ontario Canada,with very little luck. My grandfather was John Henry Gardner, born 1881 in Queenston, Ontario Canada and married to Mable Coyle. He was the son of Godfrey Gardner, born 1848 in Canada(?),who was married to Eliza Doyle. Johns' grandfather was (as best I can figure) John Godfrey Gardiner and was married to either Mary Pelon or Catherine Gibbons (both names have popped up on documents). The spelling of the surname changed with Godfrey Jr, who somehow dropped the "i". Can anyone shed any light on this family? Pat

Do you have any idea about what the names of his parents were?
There are still some Gardiners in the area of Mallow many of who belong to the to the Church of Ireland in Mallow.
Are there any living males with the surname of Gardiner in your family line. You could do a yDNA test. familysearchDNA has quite a few Gardiner!

Yes, Thomas George Gardiner, born in 1842/1843, originally from Cork. Came to Southern/Southwestern Ontario. Thomas was my GGGrandfather.

Re: GARDINER, John Born 1887 Hamilton ON Canada

Are your Gardiners originally from Ireland?
In our research of Gardiners in Ireland we have found that some came to Ontario.

Hi, I have a John Gardiner born in 1892 in Cayuga, Ontario. Could this possibly be the Gardiner you are looking for? Cayuga is about 1/2 hour from Hamilton. And I have Gardiner's all over Hamilton.

Re: Arthur Gardiner

sandyeveritt — 2011-12-26 20:32:52Z

In 1818 an Arthur Gardiner was born in Ireland. He had a brother named Willam born 1808. They were both medical doctors.
They had another brother named Robert born in 1806 who ran a stone quarry in Fermoy, Cork Co. Ireland. There was also a brother named Alexander born 1811. There may have been other siblings.

Re: Arthur Gardiner

mackdm12 — 2011-12-24 22:17:46Z

Sounds like we are related. I'm still searching, not much luck here. I was only able to confirm census records here on ancestry for the family in Kansas. At least that is something.

Re: SINGLETON GARDINER AND THE AUTO/TRAIN ACCIDENT THAT KILLED HIM

rconard190 — 2011-12-21 20:00:30Z

This Singleton was the son of Singleton and Agnes (Maxwell) Gardiner. The marriage record I have for the parents is
Jan 19, 1858 Singleton Gardiner bachelor farmer living at Foy father was Robert, a farmer. Singleton married Agnes Maxwell, single, who lived in Bleary, Co Down father Robert, a farmer.

I gather that Foy is near Portadown, Co Armagh. A Robert and Thomas Jr were listed at Foy in PRONI's freeholders listing along with a second Robert, dec'd 1821-1823ish.

The Maxwells live very close to the Co Armagh boundary and the marriage took place at Newmills Presbyterian Church, her church. Agnes was also known as Nancy. Her mother's name was not known, but she was raised by Sarah (Hamilton) Maxwell, apparently Robert's second wife.

Re: GARDINER / GARDNER

sandyeveritt — 2011-12-06 12:59:56Z

Jack,
Have you had your y-DNA tested?
My "Gardiner" husband whose family is also from Ireland has been tested at a fairly high level. We are so hoping for a match in Ireland.
His Irish family that we are aware of are from Cork and Dublin but for a few years in the mid 1800s lived in Belfast before moving to southern England.

Mercy Sweet (1792-1872) of Stephentown, NY

Tom Melton — 2011-10-08 05:55:57Z

A recent find of the surname of the wife of my New England ancestor, Edwin P. Wheeler, has resulted in healthy addition of genealogy on my website. Edwin's wife, Lydia, was the daughter of Henry and Mercy (Sweet) Reynolds. Henry's ancestry connects with the Rhode Island Hall and Gardiner Families, and Mercy Sweet connects with the Connecticut and Rhode Island families of Brown and Gardiner. Many other surnames are also contained in this newly found genealogy.

Gardiners (Gardner)/Egans Ireland to Kingston, Ontario 1800's

ekrauss11 — 2011-09-27 05:14:45Z

I am trying to research the Gardiners in Ireland. I am looking for information on Mary Gardiner who was born in Ireland in either 1833 or 1834 to James Gardiner and Mary Egan. I think that Mary Gardiner was born in Cootehill but am not sure.

I know that Mary Egan died when Mary Gardiner was three years old. At some point James Gardiner and his daughter Mary Gardiner immigrated to Kingston, Ontario, Canada.

James Gardiner ran a store across from Chalmer's Church in Kingston, Ontario.

Mary Gardiner married David Mundell a Ship Carpenter.

Children of Mary Gardiner and David Mundell:
James Mundell
John Mundell
William Mundell
Emily Mundell
David Edward Mundell
Alma Edith Mundell
Samuel Mundell???
Robert Mundell???

After David Mundell died Mary Gardiner ran a boarding house for Queens University students.

Re: Bathsheba Gardiner

Linda_Mondy — 2011-08-30 22:32:30Z

Yes, he was very young, but I have proven as a patriot through Daughters of the American Revolution. I suspect he lied about his age. I have not been able to find anything that lists Bathsheba's parents.

Re: Bathsheba Gardiner

mjancestor2 — 2011-08-30 18:57:58Z

You might have some luck searching in the church records for info on their marriage or marriage bond. Churches usually have family notes. In the church register of marriages, there may well be a record of "Bathsheba, daughter of...." It should also have ages of the couple. Often there will be notes of other churches they may have belonged to - which can also give family members.
They were married:
05 Jan 1795
Bozrahville Congregational Church, Bozrah, New London, Connecticut
Note: Most trees show this Daniel Melvin Woodworth as born in the early 1770s - making him too young to serve in the Revolutionary War.

Bathsheba Gardiner

Linda_Mondy — 2011-08-30 13:25:28Z

I am seeking information on the parents of the Bathsheba Gardiner who married the Rev. War Soldier Daniel Melvin Woodworth. I am a descendant of their daughter Louisa M. Woodworth who married Albert Cole.

Re: Stephen Gardiner

sandyeveritt — 2011-07-08 16:42:27Z

I am under the impression that if a "legal" marriage took place with Margaret Grey it was before Stephen studied at university and became a clergyman.
I have also been told that Roman Catholic priests in the middle ages were sometimes married. Can anyone confirm that?
Clearly, Stephen knew that family, for when one of the sons was an adult he reportedly worked for him.

Re: Stephen Gardiner

debra_croft — 2011-07-07 23:43:23Z

I have been wondering the same thing. I contacted some "Tudor" experts (can't even remember who or where but they were located in England) and they told me as far as they knew he was never married. And probably it was people trying to pump up their pedigrees.

I wonder if it was another Stephen Gardiner, there must have been more than one. According to everything I've read Stephen was married to a Margaret Grey whose grandfather was married to a Tudor (Tacina), so maybe we're related to the Tudors anyway. Or maybe it's another case of false information.

Hester Gardiner b. 1833 Bisley, England

BlessingTurnbull — 2011-06-22 00:01:58Z

Im looking for the Hester married to John Frederick Cary.

They had a son named Gustavus John Cary in 1867. On his birth certificate his fathers occupation was an engraver and gilder.

She was in the 1841 & 1851 UK census as Hester Gardiner.

She was in the 1871 UK Census as Hester Roberts.

She was in the 1881 & 1891 UK Census as Hester Cary.

In the 1901 UK Census she was living with her relatives back in Bisley, not sure of her last name at the time.

If you can give me any more information that would be very welcomed.

A Gardiner Bible ??

harmonica415 — 2011-05-31 13:26:51Z

I just came in possession of an old (1869) Bible that may have belonged to a Gardiner. It is:

"Hitchcock's New and Complete Analysis of the Holy Bible: (or the whole of the Old and New Testaments, arranged according to subjects in twenty seven books)".

It's in excellent condition -- there are a few discolored pages but no names or writing anywhere in the book.

The only identification is a four line clipping from a newspaper:

"Benjamin Gardiner died at the home of his sister, Mrs. Shoemaker, in Duanesburgh. Rev. W. G. Westervelt officiated at the funeral May 29th".

I would love to find a home for this Bible with a descendant of
Benjamin. I can be contacted directly at: gomac415@gmail.com.

Re: Stephen Gardiner---documentation

sandyeveritt — 2011-02-27 17:55:40Z

We must remember that the church was a very political organization in a highly politically charged society. If he was the father of these 2 men it would have been politically dangerous to admit that. I am willing to believe that he was either the father or the uncle of these 2 men. Not even DNA can pinpoint it any better.

Re: Stephen Gardiner---documentation

ariabellafarm — 2011-02-22 18:50:34Z

Very interesting. Thank you for all of that. I guess it is possible that Stephen Gardiner was married very young, and perhaps his wife died young and he went into the Church at that point. It still seems odd that there doesn't seem to be much written about that, when there is otherwise a fair amount about him in in the historical record. From your information, it looks like it may also be possible that the father of George Gardiner was his brother William or another brother.

The Gardiner that has started me searching for all of this is George Gardiner (1510-1548), who supposedly married Margaret Neville (1515-1559) and had sons Geoge and Germaine. I would love to find more about Margaret Neville and this marriage as well. The only Margaret Neville I have found record of that died in 1559 married Henry Manners, 2nd Earl of Rutland, so something doesn't seem to match up there.
