I don't know where I've got it from but I have a note that the David Sefton died 1966 Coom, NSW was aged 87. If correct it's looking likely that he's your David.

Hi, Thank you for your reply and research! YES it is my GGGG Grandfather David that died in 1866 and is buried in Cooma NSW.
I did some research and applied to the NSW BMD website and I have a copy of his original death certificate, but with NO details on his father, but I am as we speak, awaiting 3 letters written in his defence when he was found guilty of "Forging a Bill of sale" in 1827, I dont know if you have ever dealt with "The National Archives" but I have been waiting for the letters for 3 months now :-(

She is a widow "for anything that she knows to the contrary". HO107/2156; F686; Page: 18; GSU roll: 87132-87133.

Sounds like David didn't return home. Perhaps this is him:-

I am looking for any information on David Sefton born c1780 in Manchester, England, who Married Elizabeth Wallwork at Manchester Cathedral in 1800, they had 3 sons, Alfred Nelson (my GGG Grandfather (b c1805)), Henry Wallwork (b c1804) and Charles Sefton (B c1810) all born in Stockport, England.
A lot of people seem to have David and Elizabeth in their trees on Ancestry! but they all seem to have the wrong child in David Sefton b1802 in Ballanahinch, Northern Ireland, who then took "Bounty" and emigrated to Geelong in Australia in 1841!
The David Sefton I am searching for my GGGG Grandfather was a solicitor and was tried and sentenced to "Life" for forging a "Bill of Sale", life being transportation to Australia (New South Wales)on the "Prince Regent" in 1827.
He was Pardoned in 1844 and I would be grateful for any information about anything he did or about his death and/or burial/cremation!!??

Death date

Hi
I've been quite lucky doing my family history but cannot find out when my g.grandad died or where.

I've tried searches etc but to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas?
He was born Joseph Gilbert Sefton on 06.02.1892 in Monmouth, Wales. However, he is referred to on most documents as Gilbert Joseph Sefton. I know he was alive in Feb 1940 as he was at my grandmother's wedding.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

Re: Sefton in Yorkshire

marjoriereynolds_1 — 2008-08-11 18:54:41Z

My Grandmother was Doris Sefton who immigrated with her parents to Canada around 1913-14. Some of the family stayed behind in Leeds.

She married John Simpson in 1920. They had 4 children, the oldest was my father John Wilbert Simpson, he was born in 1921.

My Grandmother came from a very musically inclined family, she told me that she had a sister who was a beautful piano player.

My Grandmother had polio when she was 2 years old, so she always walked with a limp.

I'm looking for more information on Angela (or Angelica)Sefton. She was born in either 1834 or 1840. Her father was John Sefton, a well-known comedian (who came from England). She may have had a brother named "William." Her mother may have been named "Mary (Wells)."

I'd like to discover her complete birthdate (including day and month), when she died, if she married... I'd be very interested to hear from any descendents.

Thanks!

I have some information concerning William O. Sefton. He was the son of Henry Sefton and Elizabeth Boyles. Henry was the son of John Sefton and Elizabeth Wootten from Maryland. I am decended from William Sefton who was Henry's brother. William lived in PA. The family thought William came from Ireland but I have linked him to John in Maryland. It is all a mystery to me as to why he told his family that he was from Ireland and instructed them not to attemt to contact any family there. Please contact me and I will share what info I have with you.

She has been researching Sefton family history for 22yrs and met Nora Sefton before she died. She has written a book on the Seftons which includes your great great grandparents James and Sarah and all their descendants, mentioning Thomas Nathan Sefton and William and Catharine on page 57. In addition she has a photo album of James and Sarah and all their many children. Nora Sefton and Hilda Pickering were cousins. Their exact relatioonship to Thomas Nathan could be claryfied by Mrs. Park who is unfortunately not on the net but can be reached by telephone - 01524 65504 Hope this has been of use

Hi there,
I've just got round to this branch of my family.
I seem to be descended from Elizabeth SEFTON, 29 May 1789 in Cawood, christened two days later in Selby (an IGI C source.)
Her father was Edward, her mother Ann.
She married Thomas MORLEY and was living in Snaith in 1851.
Anyone with any links out there?

William Sefton was my ggg grandfather.

William's son George (married Jane White) went on to have Tom (my great grandfather). Tom married an Annie Williamson and their son George was my grandfather.
George married Sarah Elizabeth Fox and they had 7 children - the youngest of whom was my Dad.

What is your connection to William and Elizabeth?

Re: Sefton family

2005-12-20 19:11:01Z

Also have a ancestor who came over in a whiskey barrel that was a second son. Was said that his uncle stole his money. He would not talk about his family once in the US. Have picture of Thomas Sefton and his wife Jane E. Picture of him was taken in Ashland, Ohio and of her in New Castle, Pa. My greatgrandfater was Orlando Sefton who was the son of Thomas. He met his wife Mary Smiley at a family reunion in Pa. They were related from several generations back. Do not have all my records at hand but figure Thomas was born around 1847. I know that several of his sons were in the Civil Was. Have additional info about them. Orlando settled in Kansas and was a blaksmith. They lived in Sedgwick, Ks and in Wichita, Ks.

John Sefton and Ellen Cunliffe were married Sept.1895 in Prescot Lancs. The 1901 Census finds them in Warrington ??Lancs with three children, Oswald Daniel 4, Henry 2 and Frances 5 months. They also have living with them Marion Rigby age 16. John is listed as the prop. of the White Ram Inn. In previous Census Ellen is listed as a "tailoress". Ellen Cunliffe was my Great Aunt, daughter of James and Mary Florence Cunliffe, St. Helen's. Ellen is the eldest of 10 children. Her siblings were, William Henry, Mary Alice, Margaret, Jonathan, James, Teresa, Agnes, Joseph and Francis. Several of them came to Canada. Anyone recognize this family?

One of the Sefton's here!
Think I may have something - certainly there are a lot of overlaps.
I have a marriage certificate from ST NICHOLAS CHURCH, Liverpool, 28 July 1907 for STEPHEN SEFTON (my Great Grandfather) - father listed as WILLIAM SEFTON (Profession: Carter) - marrying one Mary Bower.
(There is also a MARY SEFTON signed as a witness - so looks like there are lots of points of overlap!)
I fear you are going to be more use to me than I am to you as that has been where my trail dried-up - let me know if you think this is of any use - and if your further info is relevant I would be VERY interested!

They had a son Wayne b. 20 Feb 1929 d. 28 Sept 1984. He is buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in Bronx NY. I have written to the cemetery and sent a check for the internment list but they don't have the time to look it up. They are suppose to hire someone to do genealogy.

From what I can gather, my ancestors came from Preston/Hothersall, Lancashire, England. My ggrandfather, William, had 8 siblings, one of which was James (b1838) and Sarah (b1825). Their parents were James and Sarah. William married Catherine Smithers and they had 8 children, of which my grandfather, Thomas, came to Canada. Since Liverpool is not that far away, it is possible that there is a relationship.
