I have saw that some Sweeting were in the Bahamas, but i have never found the link with mine. I do know that some went to Australia and some went to USA. My ancestors came from Stokesley, Yorkshire, England and Knaresbro Yorkshire, England. I am from Ontario Canada and I have found alot here for Sweeting's. If you would like to chat about our ancestors please email me at suzieq4002002@hotmail.com. Thanks Suzanne.

If you ever find where your Sweetings originated please let me know. I have traced my London/Essex England family back to 1748/9 and I know they were Traders and Merchants in the City of London before that in the 1600s, they also had dealings in PORT ROYAL Jamaica with the genuine Pirates of the Caribbean as well as the Bahamas but there are too many loose ends that I can't tie together.

Hi
Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. I have not found the link that connects us, but there has to be one somewhere. I will keep looking and maybe you can see if you can find out if your Sweeting's came from England and if so what some of their names were. My tree is open on here so feel free to have a look and see if anyone matches with what you have found out. Thanks Suzanne

Re: 'Sweeting - in Yorkshire UK around the 1800's early 1900's'.

Hello My name is Ann Sweeting I was born 9/3/1941 my Father was the youngest of three his name was Ronald Sweeting born 8/11/1913 Sculcoates (my Mother was Gwendoline Gertrude Rose 9/4/1906)- Arthur and Joyce were my Fathers siblings.

I am interested to learn any contacts to my late Father.

to help others to help u
this family is at ancestrys public family trees, with conflicting inf- as always, use others info and guidelines, do your own research to backup-correct info
1850 cobb and theodore are in dewitt, onondaga county, new york. theodore is 12. sometime between 1850 census and 1860 census, the family moves to wisconsin.
many central ny families ended up in the midwest when their connection to the erie canal as families of boatmen led them there via working on the great lakes also as boatmen
if u seach www.familysearch.org u will see cobb was in revolutionary war, applied for pension.
is this the correct family? you dont put any years or states. or which wife goes with which husband,(wives lisyed in opposite order from husbands, correct?)so i can only go by census and what i found at familysearch.

There must be a link somewhere in the distant past although there are several branches of Sweetings throughout the UK. My own branch is from Essex a county just to the EAST of London and although I live in UK I haven't been able to find a common ancestor for the various branches (far more than I ever imagined).

Sweetings in Knaresborough, N Yorkshire

Christowilson — 2010-11-10 16:08:10Z

Hello, I am hoping someone might be able to help in my search for JOSEPH SWEETING b. 1836 in Knaresborough.
His mother MARY SWEETING died within months of childbirth.
The 1841 Census, when he would have been five, does not show him living with his grandparents STEPHEN & DOROTHY SWEETING, who ran the Green Dragon Inn at Knaresborough, and one conclusion that could be drawn is that he was fostered out (there is no death certificate for him).
Certain factors point towards him becoming JOSEPH THEAKSTON (1836-1920), a significant figure in the commercial development of Ecuador in the late 19th century.
If anyone has any knowledge of the Sweetings of Knaresborough I would be more than delighted to hear from them.

Re: SWEETING's in Onondaga Co., NY 1780's - 1850's

allysweet — 2010-11-05 23:19:52Z

you should talk to the town historian in Baldwinsville Ny,
she is a sweeting and could most likely give you lots of
answers that you are looking for.

I'm afraid I don't have any info on your Thomas Sweeting - I have enough problems with my own Thomas Sweeting who lived and died (in 1827) in South Ockendon, Essex. Can't find where he was born either in approx 1749. They seem to be an elusive lot these Thomas Sweetings !!

Looking for Information on Thomas Sweeting

chriscoombes911 — 2009-11-25 11:57:46Z

I'm seeking information about my 2 X Great Grandfather Thomas Sweeting. All I know is that his wife's name was Sarah, and that he was a Victualler (publican), they had three children Mary Ann baptized 10th April 1825 (Paul St, parish of Saint Leonard Shoreditch). Thomas baptized 18th Nov 1827 (Kingsland Rd, West Hackney). and my Great Grandfather John Joseph baptized 14th Feb 1930 (Kingsland Rd, West Hackney). I have looked in the Trade Directory's and found a reference to a Sweeting running the The Swan in Upstall Row on Kingsland Rd in 1833 (Robsons London Directory) but in 1843/5 The Swan was then run by someone else. I have no information on Thomas's birth, marriage or death. If anyone has any information on Thomas Sweeting I would be most grateful.

Regards
Chris

chriscoombes911 — 2009-10-20 13:26:07Z

Hi there
Does anyone know of good internet sites for searching to see if a person had a will at the time of their death, as I would like to know if my great grandfather John Joseph Sweeting had left a will. We believe he died around 1906.
Any help would be gratefully recieved.

Looking for information on John Joseph Sweeting born about 1845

chriscoombes911 — 2009-09-27 23:19:34Z

I'm looking for imformation about my GreatGreat Grandfather John Joseph Sweeting, we believe that he was born abt 1845 in Tooting London. We have his marriage certificate, John was married to Alice Maude Fraser on the 22nd Sept 1894 in the Kingston district of Middlesex, Surrey. On the certificate it states John's age as 49 and his father was a Thomas Sweeting who was deceased but had been a Licensed Victualler. We believe that John was employed at the time as some kind of servant to a household. From what I've been told is that John died sometime in abt 1905 +/- 2yrs. I've tried searching for his birth but at present have drawn a blank.
Any information would be greatfully recieved.

Can anyone help with this family, Charles and his mother Celi/Gela.

Hi my name is Jodie Williams and im looking for some information on my grandad William Sweeting what i know so far is that his father's called Thomas Sweeting and his mother Dorothy Orgill and he may have 2 brothers Thomas.c and Emanual and a sister Mary J. his mother Dorothy lived with her step mother IN BOOTLE LIVERPOOL at the age of 7 and she was called Emma Rymer.
Dorothy and Thomas married in 1916 at st. Peters. I f theres any more any body could give me that would be great thankyou.x

Re: The Sweeting Tree

lutonjac — 2008-11-22 11:04:52Z

The only thing I can suggest is that Thomas/Dorothy marriage certificate could show Thomas's age at marriage, his address and father's name.

Re: The Sweeting Tree

jodie734 — 2008-11-20 14:19:22Z

Hi anthony its jodie here thanks for all the help but still haven't got any where is there another way possible to find out Thomas Sweeting's D.O.B because i still need to know. It would be nice to hear from you again.
Thanks all the same. Jodie

Re: The Sweeting Tree

jodie734 — 2008-11-19 18:35:14Z

Thank you gill that was of great help i really appreiciated it, Thank you. from jodie

Re: The Sweeting Tree

gillcaddy52 — 2008-11-19 18:28:23Z

If you visit your local library , they usually have free access to the ancestry records ,and you will be able to search for Dorothy Orgill born Dec 1893 , who married Thomas Sweeting in 1916 ,Emmanuel C born in 1923 and William in 1925 . The 1901 census will help find the rest of Dorothys family . free bmd shows no other Orgill children born in the right timescale If you ordered the marriage certificate though it would give the age for Thomas and his fathers name . good luck Gill

Re: The Sweeting Tree

jodie734 — 2008-11-19 15:52:44Z

No luck but thanks any way. I think i know what the problem is i havn't got a credit card so i cant look any further but like i said thanks any way. jodie.

Re: The Sweeting Tree

lutonjac — 2008-11-19 14:45:36Z

One further thing Jodie. IF you find that your Gdad's parents WERE THOMAS SWEETING and DOROTHY ORGILL married 1916 you can be sure that Thomas was born before 1901 so look on the 1901 Census for Thomas in L'pool that will tell you his age in 1901, his mother and father and any siblings plus where they lived. BTW did you know there is/was a Sweeting Street in L'pool, don't know where though. Cheers Anthony (Tony). Keep us posted on how you get on please.

Re: The Sweeting Tree

jodie734 — 2008-11-19 11:18:44Z

Thankyou so much lutonjac i did what you just said and i got a reference and it made it much easier to understand where my grandad came from and we are about to get his birth certificate soon..
Thank you again.

Re: The Sweeting Tree

lutonjac — 2008-11-19 11:08:06Z

Honestly anyone would think I'd got nothing better to do but I am intrigued. Did a Free BMD search on marriages Orgill and found Orgill Dorothy married Sweeting Liverpool June Quarter 1916 then entered Sweeting spouse Orgill Dorothy same date and came up with THOMAS. Anthony

Re: The Sweeting Tree

gillcaddy52 — 2008-11-19 10:40:45Z

just google freebmd and do a search in the timescale you are interested in , I did and it took 2 minutes to find the info I sent you Gill

Re: The Sweeting Tree

jodie734 — 2008-11-19 10:34:40Z

Hi thank you so much that was of great help.
My grandad's brother was/is called manny but we think that is short for emmanuelle it would be of great help if you could send me any more information as we are so dessparate to find out more about our family tree.
