Francis Charles Kingston

Cynthia Zimpel — 24 Aug 2001 9:27:52 GMT

This chap was my gggrandfather. I believe his parents were Edward William Kingston and Elizabeth Mary Bennett. Francis was born in Chewmagna, Somerset, England in 1843. Edward was a clock/watch maker at Two Stoke. Francis came to Australia sometime before his marriage to Mary Jane Morrison in Ipswich, Queensland in 1864. They had 9 children, one of whom was Francis "Frank" Arthur Kingston, my ggrandfather. Frank married Clara Webster, his step-sister, and their daughter Ethel Winnifred, my grandmother, married William Henry Wiseman. My mother, one of two children from this marriage, Ailsa Cynthia married Donand Walter Mackney. Francis Charles married Emma Jane Nicholson-Webster-Wright after the death of Mary. Emma was the mother of Clara.

Kingstons - Co. Cork/Melancthon, Ont./Elma, Erie Co., NY

jcarroll126 — 22 Dec 2008 12:55:41 GMT

There have been a number of older postings about this family, and some of what was in them does not jibe with information I have come across. If you are researching this family I would be happy to hear from you. Below is a summary of some of the information I have from official records, tombstones, etc.

Paul Kingston (b. 1808, Co. Cork, d. 1890) and Mary Kelly (b. 1817, d. 1895.) Were in Canada by 1857, lived in Melancthon Twp. Grey/Dufferin Co. the rest of their lives, and are both buried in St. Patrick's RC cemetery in Melancthon.

Children:

John Kingston (b. 1839, Ireland, d. 1904, Elma, NY) married in 1863 in Melancthon, Ont. to Julia Holleran (b. 1844, Ireland, d. 1920 Elma, NY) Both are indicated as living in Melancthon.

The following individuals also indicate Paul and Mary Kingston as their parents on various documents, and they come from or live in Melancthon twp. or are connected with the Paul and Mary Kingston of Melancthon via some documentation:

Samuel Kingston (b. 1837, Ireland, d. 1909, Ft. Erie, Ont., Canada)married Elizabeth Cusick (b. 1842, Ireland, d. 1912, Welland Co., Ont. The Mary Kingston who is buried in Melancthon died in Welland Co. and her death was attested to by Samuel Kingston.

Jane Kingston ( b. 1849, Ireland - she specified "Timoleague Co. Cork" on a border crossing document; d. after Sept. 1911, Canada or U.S.) Married Bernard Callaghan in 1878, specified Paul and Mary Kingston as her parents, and lived near them in Melancthon for much of her life.

Ellen Kingston (b. 1857, Ontario, Canada, d. unknown) Appears in 1871 and 1881 Canadian censuses living with Paul and Mary Kingston.

This brings into question previously suggested connections with Drimoleague, the story that Mary Kelly died in Elma, NY and is buried there, and the identity of a Samuel Kingston who immigrated from Ireland to Canada, then Penn. and finally Indiana.

I would really like to hear from people who have information that confirms or conflicts with the above - preferably with documentaion or sources of some sort.

Paul & Mary Kingston, Melancthon twp CANADA. 1871 census

jcarroll126 — 3 Dec 2008 2:10:54 GMT

I am trying to sort out some confusion about my paternal gggrandparents, and I have run into a snag.

I need to know the names and details of the people living with Paul Kingston, b. 1809 Ireland, RC, at the time of the 1871 census. As I can only access the index of heads and strays I am stuck. Is there anyone out there that has access to the full 1871 data, and would be willing to give this family a quick look and let me know. Or is there access to the full 1871 census data on the Internet, and I am just unaware of it?

Thank you for any help you can give,

Kingstons of Sunville/Shronacarton - next to Clodagh

CountyCork — 25 Apr 2002 10:05:38 GMT

Does anyone trace their Kingstons to this townland, once known as Sunville but by the time of Griffith's known as Shronacarton? It was next to Clodagh, and there was a section called "the Mall" that seemed to straddle both Shronacarton and Clodagh. I trace back to Paul, might be son of Sam. (and who else doesn't have these names?)

Kingston Sunville/Drimoleague

GBalmer8871 — 30 Nov 2008 5:27:42 GMT

I have a Richard Kingston (my grandfather) whose baptism certificate states that he was born Sunville in 1881,father William Kingston, Mother Bridget Neill, he was baptised at St Finbars, Drimoleague. Do you know of any of these names in your family history? He had uncles called Sam & Paul Kingston and I believe there were possibly 4 more uncles. Richard married Hannah Barry from Drimoleague.

John Kingston of Baltonsborough, Somerset, England

barrylambert1 — 1 Nov 2008 5:05:08 GMT

I am looking for any information about John Kingston of Baltonsborough, Yeoman, who was the major beneficiary, and executor, of the will of a William Cowper (d. 1797) of Huxham, in East Pennard, Gentleman. I would also like information about the latter. His will left several groups of properties in East Pennard and Lottisham to various people - many being Kingstons and Cowpers. I suspect they were all relatives. My own connection is that my ancestor William Cooper (different spelling, same name) of East Pennard, Yeoman, (approx 1780-1823) was another beneficiary. I know about his later history, (he was a maltster) and marriage but not about his ancestry.

I intend to look at parish records and land tax assessment records but don't have time to do so at present.

Ellen Kingston m John Richardson in 1854 in Drimoleague, Co. Cork

janfortado — 29 Sep 2008 1:26:59 GMT

John Richardson m. Ellen Kingston 7-2-1854 Drimoleague; witnesses were Sam Kingston and William Casey. In 1860 Ellen was born; in 1865 John; in 1867 Margaret; and in 1872 Daniel. The family lived at one time in Castledonovan, Drimoleague/Dromdaleague and also in Caencullig, Drimoleague. I feel certain they had more children. I am tracing this Kingston line and am hoping someone might be part of this family.

Kingston surname DNA project

gtkingston — 20 Aug 2007 5:18:34 GMT

My branch of Kingstons settled in Co Cork, Ireland, in the early 1600s. They came from England, possibly from Somerset, when they were granted land in Ireland during the Munster or Cromwellian plantations. DNA analysis has recently enabled me to link to another branch of the Kingston family. I had my Y chromosome analysed last year (which required me to send a painless cheek swab to a company which specialises in DNA analysis for genetic genealogy). In the last few weeks the results became available for a member of a Kingston family from a different area of Co Cork. We are an exact match, even though paper records have been unable to prove any link between our families in the last 200 years. Therefore this link could not have been made without DNA testing. I think this form of testing offers huge potential in advancing our knowledge of our Kingston ancestors. The Kingston surname DNA project has been set up to record and analyse Kingston DNA results, and also provides advice to people who are interested in being tested. The Y chromosome is passed from father to son only (females do not have a Y chromosome) so only testing of males with the Kingston surname will provide relevant information. www.familytreedna.com/public/Kingston is the website of the project. A second website connected with the project contains much of the same information but also hosts pedigrees of various Kingston families, some for which DNA testing has already been performed and some for which a suitable family member (ie a male Kingston) still needs to be found. This is still a small but growing project. The pedigrees can be found in the patriarch section of www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/k/kingston/

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

janfortado — 18 Aug 2007 3:17:07 GMT

On December 25, 1827, Thomas Kingston, son of William Kingston and Mary Brennan was baptized in the RC parish of
Drimoleague. Sponsors were George Kingston and Norry Brennan. The family was living in Deelish. Is there anyone researching this family?

William Kingston, Caheragh, Cork, son of Thomas Kingston, m. Nora Collins 1905

janfortado — 18 Aug 2007 1:03:54 GMT

On July 25, 1905, in the RC parish of Dunmanway, William Kingston, labourer, of Cahara, son of Thomas Kingston, labourer, full age, married Nora Collins, spinster servant, full age, of Milane, daughter of John Collins, labourer. Marriage witnesses were Philip Neill/Neile and Kate Donoghue. I notice that William was from the parish of Cahara but was married in Dunmanway, which was his wife's parish.

William, who was 45 at the time of the 1911 Census,and Nora, who was 31, had the following children:
Mary Kingston (who might have married a Keane and come to the US, possibly New Hampshire), 5, in 1911; Nora, 3, in 1911; Katie/Kitty, 2, who married an O'Donovan; Janie, 8 months in 1911. Born after 1911 were Katie/Kitty who married an O'Donovan; Thomas who became a RC priest; Betty, who married a Connolly; and Nellie.

I would like to touch base with anyone from this family. William took over the land of Sam Kingston and Mary Daly Kingston (in Glandarta, Drimoleague) after Sam and Mary died. I am trying to trace the family of Sam and Mary. Since they were 2nd cousins when they married in 1858, then if William is related to Sam, he is also part of Mary Daly's family.

There was a William Kingston, son of Thomas Kingston and Mary Keane, baptized in the RC parish of Drimoleague on February 2, 1865. Sponsors were William Curran and Mary Brennan. The family was living in the townland of Glounaclogha. There are possibly other children born to this couple, but every time a Mary, married to Thomas, is recorded, her name is spelled differently, including Carey.

I am wondering if the following Thomas is the father of William who married Nora Collins.
(Thomas Kingston, widower, 87 years of age, labourer, died in Glandarta on November 18, 1914. His granddaughter, Mollie Donoghue, from Butlersgift, was present at his death.)

Perhaps someone else has a Thomas Kingston in their family, one who lived in the same area at the same time.

Kingston Family Hampshire England

Jean Williams — 23 May 2003 3:11:39 GMT

I have now gathered a bit more info on my family (why does it have to be such a common name!).

William (born 1778) married Elizabeth Johnson (born 1782) in Alverstoke 4.4.1803.
Children - Elizabeth (born 1804) in St Mary's Portsea. Married William Hicks 15.1.1831 Portsea. Died 3.6.1873 in New Zealand.
George (born 1810 Portsea
? William born 1808 Portsea married Tryphena Collins (born 1816) in the parish of St Nicholas, Newton Abbott, Devon. Lived in Shalden.

William's children:
William Joseph Dinnon born 1839 in South Stoneham
Henry Francis Hart
Mary Elizabeth Anna (born 1847) in South Stoneham
Frederick Robert Johnson (born 1845) in South Stoneham. All 4 children baptised in Millbrook.

I am trying to confirm that William (b. 1808) is definitely the son of William and Elizabeth. It seems likely as he gave his son his mother's surname as one of his Christian names. Does any one know how I can verify this information and/or does anyone have any connections.

Many thanks

Hi Helen,
The William Kingston you are looking for is part of my family tree. I have been able to compile an extensive history going back to 1530 and branches to over 20 generations. The William you are looking for was born in 1829 and married a woman named Mariah. Mariah had a daughter named Mary from a previous marriage. Mariah and William had Moses in 1855 who is my GGGG Grand-Father. They had John William in 1857, James in 1861, Sidney in 1863 and Charlotte in 1867. William and Mariah are from Evercreech, Somerset England and migrated to Columbia County PA, USA two years ater the cival-war ended. Evercreech England is located out-side of Britol Endgland and there are still many of the Kingston decendents living in the area. The area is known for the ledgend of King Aurther and The Church of Avolon where the Lady of the Lake gave King Aurther Excalber. The Kingston name is Saxon so they probably were in the area before the Norman invasion. They are more than likely decended from from the Druids. I hope this information has been helpful to you.

England - Mary Ann Kingston

bbwatson — 29 Sep 2001 1:45:09 GMT

Mary Ann Kingston (b. Nov. 1824) left England for US (Port of New Orleans, I think) around 18 years of age. Came over about 1840s decade. She met, married and lived in Memphis, TN area to James Monroe Brooks. She was sad that she never saw her brother (in England) again. She named her children; Martha A., Julia, Margarite L., Mary Elizabeth, James M. & Victoria Frances. Does anyone have any information? Thank you.

Frederick Kingston born Manchester, England emigrated to Australia

bkingston1 — 23 Sep 2005 11:38:48 GMT

Hi! I'm searching for information on and relatives of Frederick Kingston born 18th Aug 1887 in Manchester, England. He emigrated to Autralia probably from Liverpool. It is believed he settled in Perth, marrying and producing 2 sons (one believed to be called Sid) who became ranchers in Western Australia. Having searched for him on Australian immigration records I have found an outline entry for a Frederick Kingston who arrived in Victoria in July 1910 from Britain on the Orsova, the age given on the record for this person is roughly correct for my ancestor.

Edward Kingston

nancy-gilbert — 13 Jun 2004 6:34:28 GMT

Hi Sylvia,

Thank you for your response to my very first message board inquiry! I am almost certain the 1880 census for Philadelphia does list the correct Edward Kingston,age 4. However I think his father's name should have been listed as George Kingston, and that his mother, Lucy Peacock Kingston, was born in N.J.

The 1900 Phila. directory must be correct re E. Kingston, conveyancer, as that was the occupation listed on Edward's marriage certificate (the only document I actually possess. My mother was born in St.Louis in 1901, and spent her childhood in New York City , but I cannot find any census records listing her parents, Edward and Norma Kingston, nor do I know Edward's date or place of death. Norma Boote KIngston died in Washington,D.C.Sept.5,1925 and was listed as a widow at that time. The1901-02 St. Louis city directory lists an Edward Kingston,clerk at L.M. Rumsey Mfg.Co.r 2950 Dickson. 1902-1905 has an E.Kingston r Hillside Mo.but I cannot verify this is "my" Edward KIngston.

To the best of my knowledge, Edward's father,George, was born in Philadelphia in 1848. 1850 census lists
John L. Kingston 39 bookbinder
Eliz 36
Mary E 15
Mary I 13
William 11
John 9
Alfred 5
George 2

1860 census for Cecil County,Elkton,Md. lists four additional children and siblings of George
Samuel 9
Annii(?) 7
Emmy 4
Theodore 4mo.

1870 census shows the Kingstons back in Phila. (on Hutchinson ST. per city directory).

Recent communication with a newly discovered cousin says George Kingston died Dec. 31,1924, in Camden,N.J. and Lucy Kingston Oct. 14, 1911, in Newbold ,N.J. Both are buried in Fernwood,Pa.!

Thank you again for your response, and good luck to you also.

Dick Ennis — 21 Jun 2003 4:24:28 GMT

The info in subject line was taken from the 1880 census of NYC. Family lived in Morrisania which was then part of the Annexed District. George, the father, was a stone mason. George, the son, was a plasterer or lather; James, the son was a bricklayer. George, the father, died in 1884.
Most of this family is buried in old St. Raymond's Cemetery, the Bronx. Elizabeth who did not marry died in Richmond Hill,Queens on September 30, 1947 at the age of 81. Elizabeth had a nephew named Frank Kingston.
The childrens' ages in 1880 were: George, 27; James, 25 (died in 1907); Mary 21, Elizabeth, 20; Margaret, 17; Catherine, 16; William, 14. In addition to Elizabeth, I believe that Mary, Margaret, and Catherine did not marry.
The name of Margaret Kinney might be a later addition to this family. She died in 1992.
Would very much like to make contact with descendents of this family to share information on the origin of the family and relationship to my Kingston family.

Eddie Kingston - Son of Peter Kingston

schwartzkopf — 10 Jun 2003 3:12:41 GMT

Accidentally Hung

A terrible accident happened at the Walls school house, in Fairview township, near the Millard post office, on Wednesday of last week, March 25th, by which Eddie Kingston, a young lad about 10 years old, a son of Peter Kingston, a prominent farmer of that neighborhood, lost his life.

It seems that the boy went to the school house, after school was out, to get a ruler which he had left when he took his books home. Finding the door locked he raised the window to climb in. Later some neighbors noticed him standing by the window a long time, and upon going over found the boy hanging by his head, dead.

It is supposed that having pushed up the sash he started to climb in when the sash fell, striking him on the neck, and either breaking the neck or strangling him to death. There were but slight bruises on the neck, the hands hung limp by his side, and there were no marks on the building that would indicate a struggle, so that it is thought he died almost instatntly when the sash struck him. Eddie was a bright industrious boy, giving promise of a useful manhood.

It is indeed a sad death, and the family have the deepest sympathy of the entire community.

Louis KINGSTON - Philadelphia, PA 1831-1896 & h/w Sarah DONAHUE

Sylvia_Repsher — 2 Jul 2005 3:26:18 GMT

NARA Civil War era documents provide a little more information about the life of Lucius H. Kingston a/k/a Louis B. Kingston and Lewis H. Kingston and Luke Kingston on various governmental documents:

Declaration for Widow's Pension filed in the State of Pennsylvania, County of Philadelphia on the 20th day of April 1896 states that Sarah (nee Donahue) Kingston, age 58 is the widow of Louis B. Kingston and that they were married on the 15th day of September, 1858 at Philadelphia, PA by Rev. William Dickerson with neither party ever having been married previously.

Louis B. Kingston was enrolled at Philadelphia, PA as a private in Company I - 2nd Regiment of the Pennsylvania Volunteer Heavy Artillery on the 14th day of January, 1864 and mustered out July 31, 1865. Sarah Donahue Kingston received a monthly widow's pension of $8.00 for her husband's civil war service.

A Death Certificate from the City of Philadelphia, Health Office certificate #6393 dated April 15,1896 states that Lucius Kingston (a/k/a/ Louis Kingston), white, male, 65 yearl old, married, died on February 26, 1896. Lucius Kingston was born in Philadelphia, lived at 127 Eutaw Street, Philadelphia at the time of his death, and was buried on March 1, 1896 at Mt. Peace Cemetery.

Sarah Donahue Kingston apparently was unable to write, as her mark was witnessed by William Donahue (who likely was her brother) of 28 Fishery Avenue, Philadelphia, and Lydia Medcalf of 661 Holly Street, Philadelphia (who may be Sarah's sister as both a William Donahue and a Lydia Donahue appear in the 1860 census of Philadelphia living in the same household as Louis and Sarah (Donahue) Kingston.

The widow's claim was filed by Andrew Wells of 711 Sansom Street, Philadelphia, PA.

Any additional information anyone might be able to supply with regard to any of these individuals would be sincerely appreciated.

John & Clarissa had eight children Mary Ann b1850, Rachel Jane b1851, Lucy Jane b1853, Joseph Ambrose b1855, Clarissa Bridget b1856, Eliza Maralinah b1858, William Eugene b1859 & James b1860 (my great-grandfather). John changed his name to John Joseph KINGSTON-KIRWAN after the birth of his first child. If anybody can help with information it would be very much appreciated.
