Re: Is this William Service, Jr.?

shaunsaaz — 2009-09-18 18:32:45Z

Donna, you said you have info on William Service Jrs siblings. Do you have any info on the sibling that was born about 1776? I believe William Service Sr is my great great great great great grandfather, as my ancestry goes back to a Moses Sarvis born 10/22/1776 most likely in New Jersey (his wife was from Hunterdon county.

Service b 1776 to William Service

shaunsaaz — 2009-09-17 22:56:41Z

Does anyone know if the service child born in 1776 to WIlliam Service (son of John Service who was from Scotland) may have been Moses Service who later changed his name to Moses Sarvis. He was born 10/22/1776 and married Mary Ann Johnson from Hunterdon Co, New Jersey and then lived in Pennsylvania. Any help on this would be great!

A correction:

My Great Grandfather was JOHN Heron SERVICE, not Robert Heron SERVICE. He was born in Antrim and moved to Victoria, Australia in the 1860's, married to Sophia Jack from Middlesex, England.

I am still interested in finding any connections back in Antrim.

William Service of New Jersey

dpartridge60 — 2009-07-09 01:24:12Z

My wife's father passed away during the Vietnam War and she grew up with minimal contact with his family. I've been able to connect her line back to William Service who married Edna May Hall. They had a son Orville P. Service who was residing with Edna's mom, Henrietta Hall, in Newark, NJ in 1930. Orville was my wife's grandfather.

I would like to correspond with anyone having information concerning this line of Service. In the 1930 census, Orville is listed as being born in NJ, with both his father and mother being born in NJ as well.

Thanks!

Gerald_Rohan — 2009-04-15 23:29:16Z

I am interested in your query because my mother held the same idea but I haven't found any links. My Grandmother, Martha SERVICE, was born to Robert Heron SERVICE and Sophia JACK in 1887. Robert SERVICE was born in Ballymena, Antrim in 1843; his parents were David SERVICE and Jane HOLLINGER.

I have found no record of his move to Australia, but he settled in Tylden, Victoria, and with Sophia had 9 children. He died in 1898 and is buried at Tylden, Victoria.

I would like to trace his Ballymena origins and his passage to Australia, as well as any connection to Robert SERVICE - a great poet!

Gerald_Rohan — 2009-04-15 22:36:56Z

My GreatGrandfather, John Heron Service, was born in County Antrim in 1898. He married Sophia Jack from Middlesex, and they settled in Victoria, Australia, in 1850's. I have not found a record of their passage bu they are believed to have emigrated via Southampton in 1853. They had 9 children, including my Grandmother Martha, born in 1887. John Heron Service died in 1898 and is buried at Tylden, Victoria.

Re: "Service" Down Patrick - County Down - Northern Ireland

rservice166 — 2009-01-05 09:02:04Z

I am are researching the Services and have traced our Liverpool connection back to Northern Ireland. David Service is my GGGGGrandfather. I believe the Irish Services came over to N Ireland from Scotland- the coast being only 12 miles away. We did much research in the Linen Library in Belfast and found that the origin of Service may go back as far as the 12th century in Scotland. I believe that 'Service' originates in France- from a similar word meaning innkeeper. We think they came over with the Normans.

The Service's of Kilwinning are related to Robert W. Service the poet of the Yukon,which are related to me on my father's side.His grandmother was Mary Jane Service

Re: Margaret Jane Service m. Horatio Hennion

AUtiger95 — 2008-11-11 01:48:08Z

Margaret and Horatio are my great-great grandparents.
I have a good bit of information on them but don't know much about their parents or great grandparents.

There is a chapter about them in the book "Enemies of the Country: New Perspectives on Unionists in the Civil War South" by John C. Inscoe & Robert C. Kenzer.

Maps of scotland have helped me understand further the distances they may have traveled.I have found that my Rosanna (hay) Service remarried after the death of her husband James Service.She married James Corskery of Ayr and on the marriage certificate it has her parents names:Barnard Hay and Sarah Cunningham.I played a hunch that James Service died young and it payed off.Her son John was also a witness to the marriage.WooHoo this is just too much fun.

I have a John Bonner that served in the 69th foot regiment. He came out to australia as an armed pensioner guard around 1854. Apparently John was born athlone westmeath. John may have been married to jane Tipson. They had a son Thomas samuel bonner, who lived and died in Perth Western australia. Other relations are Emma Watkins, John watkins 94th foot regiment, he came to australia aboard the Scindian in 1850. Also armed pensioner force.
Also looking for Alfred barber, married to Florence ethel bonner. Also looking for Reilly who came to Australia from New Zealand.

Looking for information on SERVICE family. CHRISTINE MCDONALD married WILLIAM SERVICE, Oxford County, Ontario. Son was named AUSTIN. My great grandfather, ISAAC EMIGH, married ELLEN MCDONALD and we were told that they were related through the Service and Mcdonald connection. Any info. would be apprectiated.

Service & Emigh lines possibly originated in NY state

Amygh — 2006-10-16 15:21:04Z

Tom: Sorry I just now came across your message. We found a connection to the Emigh line through an Elizabeth Service. The Emigh line and the Service line might both have come from the State of New York. If you have info. please contact me. Where is Beeton, Ontario?

Hi Caroline!
I just got your message. Yes, let's share info. In fact, if you want to e-mail me directly please do so. My connection with the Service family is two-fold ( at least that I know of). My great-aunt, Christina McDonald m. a William Service. But I also found that My great-great-aunt, Sarah Maria Emigh m. into the Service family, but she was living back home at the age of 23 as a widow (per the 1871 Oxford County, Census). Have you been in contact with a Nigel Service? Contact me and we can discuss a game plan. I also have copies of census that I copied from Oxford County.

Re: "Service" Down Patrick - County Down - Northern Ireland

I have been finding hints that my James Service and Rosanna Hay may have come across from northern ireland to Ayr.But I am not convinced that they were Irish.There was a lot of turmoil back in the day so I am wondering if many fled Scotland too Ireland to be free of conflicts or some such thing,only too return at a later time...Just a theory!
