There are 2 Vessey genealogy reports at www.islandregister.com Maybe one of the people that wrote them might have the book.

Robert Wilson book on Vessey Family History

jimward101 — 2012-01-10 17:45:01Z

Hello,
I wanted to find out if anyone out there has a copy of the Vessey book by Robert Wilson, published in 1988 & 1995. I have lost mine in our move and would like to get a scan of part on my family. It is out of print now.
Thanks in advance,
Jim...

This didn't tie in with any of the history I have, we may have to go back further. I have a book "The Valiant Connection, a History of Little York" There could be a connection in this book. If you would like to contact me, I will get you a contact #.

Thanks,

Hi, thanks for replying !

My grandfather was Herbert Reuben Vessey born in Charlottetown, PEI. His wife was Anne Elizabeth O'Connor.

My great grandfather was Reuben Joseph Vessey and his wife was Myrtle Maud Larter, of Charlottetown as well, as far as I know.

Does that help at all ?

Do you know your Grandmother's name, or do you know anything more about Herbert? Or maybe you have all you were looking for already.

Hi Diane,

Re Arthur A Vessey. He married Ethel Randall, daughter of William and Caroline Randall who were my g.g.grandparents.
They lived in Crayford Kent. Arthur and Ethel had two sons, Vivian Stanard Vessey, and Stanley Charles Vessey.

I have not been able to find out much more about them, but have quite a bit of Ethels family history.

Hello Les,Many thanks for your message. Eustace Vessey was my husbands ancestor. He fretted for a long time why the Vessey name changed to Winfield. Sadly my husband Chris passed away last year without completing his tree. I am trying to carry on where he left off and I am glad you have answered his query.

Hi,
with regards to the query about Eustace Vessey, born 1829 and his wife, Maria winfield. I think that Eustace had left Maria before their son, Eustace was born, he may even have been born in Chesterfield Workhouse, as in 1856, Maria was a resident there 4 times in 1856. Is this also the reason for Eustace later taking his Mothers surname.
There is also a Eustace Vessey as a passenger on the S.S. City of Baltimore to New York in 1861.

Hello,

Is it possible that when your Vessey Families went to NZ they could have had a teenage girl travelling with them , Evelina Vessey who came on to Austalia.

I cannot find how Evelina came out to Australia. Both her parents had died by 1862, Henry and Mary Ann Vessey, and the first information I have about Evelina in Australia is when Evelina married Jemmy Ah Foo in 1866 in Queensland Australia. Evelina was born in 1850 so she was only 16 when she married so she was abt. 15 years of age when she came out by ship.

Evelina's two sisters Ann Elizabeth and Hannah married in England before coming to Austrlia with their husbands.

I have always thought Evelina travelled to Australia with another family.

I have to try all avenues! It is driving me mad not being able to find the records.

Re: Vessey family in the UK.

AffooJones — 2010-06-13 23:50:58Z

Would Henry Vessey born 1812 in Carlton , Nottinghamshire be related to your Gervas Vessey?

Henry was a Miller and he met Mary Ann when she was a teenager working at the "Half Moon Inn" in Epworth ,Lincolnshire and he was working and living in the same area.

Henry married Mary Ann Clifton and they had three daughters, Ann Elizabeth, Hannah and Evelina. The three girls were born in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire and after the parents died they all came to live in Australia.

I can't find Henry Vessey's birth details or anything about his family.

HI Dianne,

I researching Frances May Vessey's family tree and while her mother, Minnie Vessey was from Hull, she grew up in Kent. We believe that she may have been raised by members of her extended family in Kent and thought there may be some link to Charles Vessey. She worked at Hever Castle before leaving for NZ in 1939. Any links that you may have would be wonderful.

Many thanks

HI there, I have started looking into my grandmother Frances May Vessey born in London UK 1919. Her mother (Minnie Vessey) was from Hull, UK. I note in my research that two Vessey families came out to Auckland NZ in the 1860's. I wondered if you had any links to the London/Hull/Kent or NZ Vessey's?

Many thanks

Hi there,

I trying to piece together the family tree of Frances May Vessey, daughter of Minnie Vessey (born Hull, UK 1901) and wondered if there was any connection to your tree. I think her father, Alfred Vessey was from Lincs.

Just to say that the English Vessey's from Barnby, Nottinghamshire, appear to be tracable back to John Vessey marrying Alice Latworth on January 13 1686 at Kettlethorpe, Lincolnshire.

Hi Audrey,
you were right George's father, it was James Vessey. James was born about 1823 at Swineshead, Lincolnshire, James married Elizabeth Brewster from Westborough and they had 7 children.

Re: Vessey family in the UK.

hallleshaz — 2008-10-01 06:30:47Z

Hi,
I think that the village you mention is Barnby in The Willows, near Newark in Nottinghamshire, at one time there was enough Vessey's to put out a full cricket team. There have been members of the Vessey family living there from the early 1700's to the present day. I doubt if it was Gervas and Mary's family that came to the US, we think that it was other branches of the family that came over.

Hi, my grandfather was Herbert Vessey born in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. My father was George Herbert Vessey and I'm Roderick George Herbert Vessey, also born in Charlottetown, but now living in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Reportedly, family origins are from Yorkshire England, and they were early inhabitants of York (or Little York) in Prince Edward Island.

My sons are Patrick George Vernon Vessey and William Roderick Joseph Vessey, both born in Halifax.

My father had 2 brothers, Roy (son Chris)and Ivan (son David)and 4 sisters, Roma, Shirley, Ginny and Judy.

Would like to make the connection with my grandfather's family/relatives in York, PEI and of course back to Yorkshire England.

Because I can't find it prior to her remarrying.

be aware there are Maria Vessey, Maria rosalie w Vessey i think they are one off the same

Re: Eustace Vessey

2006-07-06 14:18:10Z

Hi Mick

Just looked at family notes - Maria Wingfields married Eustace Vessey and 22nd April 1849 - so their son definately was not illegitimate!

Paul

Re: Eustace Vessey

2006-07-06 13:54:50Z

Hi Mick

I have a copy of thier marriage certificate and Eustace was Eustace Vessy Wingfield with the 'g' either scrubbed out or very light so it didn't copy well! - bachelor aged 22 and although it does say both Eustace and Ellen Parket are Illegitimate - this appears incorrect and I don't know reasons for this.

Also the signature for Eustace also has the 'g' being rubbed out of Wingfield.

In April 1856 Eustace was born to Eustace Vessey and Maria Vessey formerly Wingfields - so he could not have been illegitimate. (mind you I have got to check the marriage of the two).

Where does Horace come into the family line? You said he was Walter Winfield's brother? Was he a brother -in-law?

I have a list of Eustace and Ellen's children - 8 of them but no mention of a Horace.

regards
Paul

Re: Eustace Vessey
