Re: Information on Anne KINGSTON and George Felstead

gpetrin169 — 2009-09-23 13:12:46Z

Here is a bit of what I have. I am actually researching Anne Kingston, George's wife. Anne Kingston was born in Ireland, daughter of Paul and Anne Kingston. Paul and Anne came to Toronto circa 1836 and lived in York township. Probably close to Felstead homestead in Leslieville. Anne had at least 9 siblings. I have complete list.

Re: Paul Kingston

gpetrin169 — 2009-08-31 05:43:27Z

this is what I have on Paul and Martha Kingston in Toronto
Marriage at St.James Cathedral in Toronto
9 August, 1850, by license, Paul KINGSTON, of Toronto, bachelor, and Martha JOHNSTON, of the same place, spinster.

Baptism at Little Trinity church
#532 Paul s/o Paul and Martha KINGSTON, distiller, Toronto, born 2 December 1852 bap 27, March 1853 sponsors: parents. Clergy : Alex Sanson.

#1404
Margaret d/o Paul and Martha KINGSTON, labourer, Toronto, born 12 Jan 1863, bap. 31 May 1863. Sponsors: the parents, Jane Harrison, clergy: Alex Sanson.

On 1853 Toronto tax assessment, Paul is living on Palace street next to Gooderham and Worts distillery.

I am trying to establish whether Paul is son of Paul Kingston who died in 1845 and is buried in St.James. His widow Ann is buried there as well.

Re: Paul Kingston

gpetrin169 — 2009-08-31 05:29:32Z

Hi I am researching the Kingston of Toronto, Paul Kingston died in 1845 and is buried in St.James cemetery with his widow Anne who died in 1869. There is a Cherry Kingston, but not buried with Paul and Anne, I have been wondering how she is related. With Paul and Anne are at least 2 sons, Thomas and Samuel and a few married daugthers, Jane Kendrick and Anne Felstead. I have been trying to establish whether Paul who married Martha E. Johnston is a son of Paul and Anne or not. In the 1850s and 1860s he is living in Toronto and I have found 2 baptisms for his , but there must be more. Paul and Anne probably had a lot more kids, but hard to prove which are theirs. Where did you get the name Charity Langtry, I wonder if it is the same person as Cherry Kingston who is buried in old St.James.

William Kingston - Weston Turville 1912

janealisonkingston — 2009-08-11 08:26:21Z

Trying to find the family of William Kingston son of David & Mary Ann (nee Grace) Kingston. Born 1912 Weston Turville, Bucks, England. Thought to have had a son Anthony born 1936 Aylesbury. Known to have lived in Thame with wife possibly called Doll. William had brothers Charlie (my Grandfather) & Henry and a sister Daisy. Mary Ann died at a young age and the family seems to have been a bit broken up after that, would love to reunite Williams branch of the family as have now found Henry's children.

Re: Kingston-Miles or Miles-Kingston

janemoysey — 2009-07-16 22:39:45Z

Hello Ted
My gt gt grandmother was Frances Ellen Kingston-Miles, daughter of William Kingston and Harriet Ashby. We have no idea where the Miles came from, although have found that William & Harriet were calling themselves Miles in the 1871 census...!
Frances, who often calls herself Ellen, married Charles Henry Allen, parents of my gt grandmother Harriet. Ellen died in 1913 of cancer followed a few months later by her husband Charles, who fell off a moving trolley bus.
William Kingston was born in Chisbury, Wilts and worked as a labourer on the railways until the mid 1850s when he became a dock labourer in the London Docks. He met Harriet Ashby and was married in Harbury, Warwickshire in 1852.
The Kingston-Miles/ Allens settled in the Plaistow/Walthamstow area for many years until my Mum married my Dad and they moved to Beds/Herts and now I am in Cambs!
Which of the Kingston-Miles do you trace back to? I know Frances Ellen had a number of siblings including William, Edward, Stephen and James among others.
Would love to hear if you have any more information - or can shed light on the double barrelled name!
Best wishes
Debbie

Re: Kingston & Carroll families of Elma, East Aurora & Buffalo, NY

janfortado — 2009-07-06 17:29:42Z

Jack, let me see if I can address your comments. Perhaps I should say first that the Mary Kelly who married Paul Kingston is not my Mary Kingston. I am trying to find the common ancestor for five families - all cousins. Most of these families emigrated from the Drimoleague area to Somersworth, New Hampshire, with one in nearby Rochester,NH, and one family in the Barre/Northfield, VT, area. It is likely they originated in Meenies (probably Moyny East). My own direct line is causing me the greatest problem for two reasons: (1) when my ggrandmother Mary Kingston married Maurice Mahony in the RC parish of Drimoleague in 1870, it was a 2nd marriage for both of them, so I have no definite information on Mary's first marriage. (2) My grandmother told her children that her mother, Mary Kingston, was raised a Protestant and that when she married a Catholic, she was disowned by her family. (A C. of I. priest told me this was not uncommon). I don't know whether it was Mary's first husband or 2nd husband who was the Catholic. I found what I believe are Mary's three sons by a Florence McCarthy in Drimoleague RC church records. I cannot prove this is my Mary because I cannot find the marriage record, but because Florence and Mary's son, who lived in Somersworth where my grandmother lived, was a half-relative, it makes sense that the marriage to Florence McCarthy was probably Mary's first marriage. Mary's father was Paul, but I don't know the name of Mary's mother. It is likely that Paul Kingston, my gggrandfather, was a brother to Sam Kingston who married Margaret Sullivan (formerly married to Gow)and Ellen Kingston who married Jeremiah Daly. I think that Sam and Ellen raised their children Catholic because they married Catholics (Sullivan and Daly).

As for records being online, you are right, but I travel to Dublin periodically and transcribe records from parish registers at the National Library. I don't happen to have all of the records for Paul Kingston and Mary Kelly, but if you would like to confirm the record of Mary who was baptized in 1835, I happen to have that: On Jan 12, 1835,
Mary Kingston, daughter of Paul Kingston and Mary Kelly was baptized in the RC parish of Drimoleague. Sponsors were John and Catherine Kelly. Residence: Moines

You mentioned that your Jane, born in 1849, is probably different from the one that Joe Kelly has. That is not necessarily so as it was very common for emigrants to declare a younger age when they emigrated. It could well be the same Jane. You would have to look through filmed church records in Dublin to check out both Janes. The Skibbereen Heritage Center is now transcribing Drimoleague records so you might want to check them out. If you have a few extra pennies to spare, you could check on your records. (Not only did Irish emigrants not always know their date of birth, but some of them changed their age for various reasons. I had a great-aunt who told her family she did not want to be "put out to pasture" when she was older so she made herself much younger than she was, but she really knew her correct year of birth.)

As for land records, Griffith's is now online, and if you are not able to travel to Ireland to look at filmed land records, you can order them from a Family History Center. I use Tenure and House Books to find who leased a particular plot just before Griffith's. I use the Tithe Applotment Books (Often in the 1820's and 1830's) to see who leased the land at that time. They are not numbered in the same way as Griffith's so it is difficult to know who the predecessor of a person leasing at the time of Griffith's is if the person was no longer living when Griffith's was published. (And the Mormons did not film all of the Tithes. There are certain libraries that have them - e.g., Boston Public Library and Boston College for my area). You can use Cancelled Land records (Cancellation Books) to follow who leased land after Griffith's. My email address is janfortado@comcast.net if you would like to email me directly. Jan

Re: Kingston & Carroll families of Elma, East Aurora & Buffalo, NY

jcarroll126 — 2009-07-06 15:31:54Z

From what I have seen on the net, this area is one of the very few that does not have its records available for searching through a regional center on the net. Therefore, I haven't seen the land records.

However, the following posting was made some time ago in a group on Ancestry.com (you may well have been part of the discussion.)

"Mary Kelly was one of the Kellys of Lower Moyny (Meenies), Drimoleague, and Paul Kingston was one of the many Kingstons from the same area. The familys are still in the same area.

The Baptism record for John is 22-July-1839, sponsors John Kelly and Mary Kingston.

The Baptism for Sam is 24-Sep-1836, sponsors John Kelly and Kate Kelly.

A Mary and Jane also in 1835 and 1841 resp."

joekelly, Kingston message board of Ancestry.Com, "Kingston - Drimoleague" thread, 06 December 2002

The Paul Kingston (and Mary Kelly) Joe Kelly referred to are clearly my great grandparents.

However, lacking any way to verify the baptismal information he has given, I have only included those children on my tree that I have been able to find data on myself. Thus, I have left the Mary and the Jane he refers to off of the tree for the time being.

John, Samuel and Jane emigrated from Ireland, but the Jane that I have (b. 1849) was born later than the one Joe Kelly referred to. Given the duplication of names, I have assumed that Jane #1 died as an infant.

The Mary Kingston, who is your ancestor, is she the Mary Kingston he refers to b.1835?

Given that Mr. Kelly's info duplicates almost all of what I have found on my own I am certain that these are the same family. However, there is one fly in the ointment. Jane stated in a border crossing document that she was born in Timoleague, not Drimoleague. Of course the family may have moved from the former to the latter place before emigration, but that's the sort of detail I'd like to straighten out.

Jack

Re: Kingston & Carroll families of Elma, East Aurora & Buffalo, NY

janfortado — 2009-07-06 13:21:18Z

Have you been able to use land records to narrow down where Paul Kingston (who married Mary Kelly) might have lived? I have found with my own Kingstons that I really have to find what townlands they lived in so I can figure out who was related to whom. They did move around occasionally, which makes even using townland information a challenge. I am now focusing on Meenies (townland spelled this way on vital records)or Moyny East (townland spelled that way on land records). My gggrandfather was Paul Kingston, born c1800. I do not know the name of his wife. Their daughter Mary was my ggrandmother by a 2nd marriage.

Re: Kingston surname DNA project

gtkingston — 2009-06-22 16:32:16Z

In the sixteen months since I last posted an update on this forum the Kingston surname DNA project has grown appreciably. We now have DNA results from fifteen individuals. Eight of these have matching Y chromosome DNA sequences and therefore share a common Kingston ancestor along the male line. We have grouped these eight individuals as Group A, and the earliest known Kingston ancestor for seven of these came from Co Cork, Ireland. The eighth member of Group A had a strong family tradition of Irish Kingston origins, but a single nineteenth century US census record added confusion by stating Scottish Kingston ancestry. DNA has helped to resolve this issue by confirming a match with the seven Co Cork Kingstons and refuting that particular census entry.

The seven individuals who have been tested and who do not match the members of Group A include two first cousins who trace back to Leeds, Yorkshire, England (Group B), and two fourth cousins who trace back to North Eastern Somerset, England (Group C). The final three individuals do not match each other or the members of Groups A, B, or C. They trace back to Hampshire and Devon, both in England.

This brings to six the total number of independent unrelated Kingston families for whom the project has Y chromosome DNA profiles. There is a significant chance, therefore, that if a male Kingston submits a DNA sample for Y chromosome analysis they can be assigned to one of these six families - which could provide information on ancestral origins not available by any other means. In the event that the test was to result in a new seventh previously untested Kingston family, it would hopefully be simply a matter of time before a match could be found.

Details of the project and how to get involved are posted on www.familytreedna.com/public/Kingston/ and www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/k/kingston/

I would love to hear from anyone interested in the project, or in Kingston genealogy in general.

Kingston & Carroll families of Elma, East Aurora & Buffalo, NY

jcarroll126 — 2009-06-14 21:20:37Z

In the past few months I have received several extremely helpful pieces of information on the Kingston family from readers of the Dufferin Co., Ont. board, as well as helpful information from the Dufferin Co web site.

As a result, I have been able to pull together a much more detailed and accurate picture of my father's family than we have ever had before. To return the favor I would like to direct anyone who has an interest in these same families to the web sites where I have posted the tree.

The tree is called "Kingston-Carroll" and it has been put up on www.ancestry.com and www.gencircles.com.

The Kingston, Holleran and Callaghan familes were Irish Roman Catholics who arrived around the midpoint of the 19th century in Melancthon twp of then Grey Co. After that they intermarried and moved to other parts of Ontario: Samuel Kingston to Welland Co. for example), and his brother John (b. 1839, Co. Cork, Ire.) and his wife Julia Holleran (b. 1844, Ire.)came to Erie Co. where they have many descendents, especially around Elma, Wales, East Aurora and Buffalo.

Please feel free to use this tree to aid your own research, and as usual so much new information as I have recently found brings many new questions. If you have data on the following persons, beyond what I have already, I would be very pleased to receive it - as well as anything pertaining to the Erie Co. branch:

1. Paul Kingston (b. 1847, Ireland) and sister, Ellen (b. 1857, Ont.), children of Paul and Mary Kelly Kingston of Ireland & Melancthon. I have nothing other than their early census entries with their parents, though Ellen lived to at least her early 20's.

2. Patrick Holleran (b. 1835, Ireland, son of John and Margaret Ryan Holleran). He left Melancthon and was in Stisted & McMurrich, Muskoka w. wife and kids for the 1881 census. Then I lose the entire family.

3. John Holleran (b. 1838, Ireland, another son of John and Margaret.) I cannot find marriage, census or death records for him after the mid-1860s.

3. Jane Kingston Callaghan (b. 1849, dau. of Paul and Mary as above, sd. she was born in Timoleague, Co. Cork in an early 20th cent. border crossing doc.) She and at least two of her children by Bernard Callaghan (b. 1839, Ireland, also of Melancthon) seem to have been living in Buffalo around 1913-1916, though I cannot find them in the 1920 or 1930 U.S. censuses.

Any leads would be appreciated, and I hope the tree as it is at present will be helpful to others.

Jack

Re: Mary Brennan/Thomas Kingston, Deelish, Drimoleague, Cork, Ireland

janfortado — 2009-05-11 23:39:00Z

I was wondering if you knew who Thomas's parents were - either from a marriage record or a death record. You are right about dates, but I have Baptismal dates for many of my Kingstons. That information helps as most Catholics baptized their babies about a day after birth. Once civil registration began in 1864, there was a fine if births were not reported within a certain number of days. If farmers were not able to get to the registration place in the allotted time, they pushed the date of the birth up, so very often you will find a child baptized before he was born!!!!! Jan

Kingston immegration England to NB Canada

I've been looking for immegration records from the early 1800's from England to New Brunswick. Specifically I've been searching for Frederick Kingston. The first entry I've been able to find for him is in a 1830 census.

I have just read your thread and I can't believe that I am definately related to you. my great great grandfather was a watch maker from cameley! my brother's second name is Edward named after him and my cousin was named Robert to keep that names in the family. I am from Australia and my father has kept our family tree know to us since we were young. I would love to go to england and see whether this watch/repair building still stands. Do you have any other details. My email is lloyd-n-sarah@hotmail.com my maiden name is Kingston. Are you from England or Australia?

Hi, my family originated from south of somerset. I am from Australia and my great grandfather moved over here. my maiden name is Kingston and I would like to know more about my ancestors. My family has a lot more information. I believe that my great great grandfather owned a clock shop in somerset. I would love to know if that building still stands there?

Hello. It was lovely to hear from you. I'd actually forgotten I'd posted this message. We didn't know anything about Charles or your grandfather and his siblings until last year when I tracked down Amelia's death cert. It's quite a long story. My email address is misssauvignon@aol.com. Looking foward to sharing some info.

Charles Edward was my grandfather. My father was John Charles who died in 1994. We emmigrated to New Zealand in 1950. I have been working on the family tree for some years and would like to share more

Hi Ruby

I guess I am your second cousin once removed!!

I have a lot of research on our family. Your gr-grandfather was Edward Ernest (known as Ernest) b 1881 in Babcary, his father was William b 1840. If you put a search on here on the family trees you should be able to pick up my tree and Robyn Allmans. I have not updated mine for quite a while and can go back a few more generations now.

I am not a paying member on here at the moment so I cannot email you directly, but any help I can be, just ask.

Happy researching

Helen

Hi Barry

I have been researching my family tree of Kingston for several years now, I know I came across the name of Cowper before, but as I have had a recent computer crash and I am in the process of trying to piece it all back together, it might be while, if at all, I can fit it into my jigsaw. Any information on Thomas would be gratefully received.

regards

Helen
