I have traced back my family to William Fossey born 1792. I think his family came from France and my Grandmother always used to say we had a Count in the family! I have a very interesting photo of the Count and some Fosseys. Please contact me if you are interested Tamsin

unicornjk — 2007-11-23 22:19:15Z

Hi everyone

I'm looking for info for a friend, who is researching her great grandfather, Frederick Augustus Fossey. We don't know when he was born, but he died in 1919 after working for the LCC Trams as a brakesman. He was married to Ada Elizabeth Reader in 1897 and had three sons and two daughters. His eldest son, Frederick John Fossey, was my friend's grandfather. He lives in Mitcham at Figges Marsh and died in 1966.

Any info at all would be appreciated. Can't seem to trace the family back past Frederick Augustus.

I am trying to find relations of Olive Amner my Grandmother, born 1899-1937. Her Father was George R Amner of Plumstead, Kent and her mother was Harriet. The Family remained in the area of Plumstead and Woolwich for many years. Olive married Henry Davis in 1919. I believe many members of the family worked in the Woolwich Arsenal and on the Thames. I have very little other info can you help?

Sue,

This seems to be the right family. If it is I have the birth details for her in Whitechapel.

I dont have the marriage yet. It is the fathers line that I want to know more about, they may be decendents who fled from France.

Although I have been on ancestry a while I have only just subscibed and I am not sure on how to find or understand records yet I think this is why I cant find things.

Thanx

Susan2670 — 2007-08-08 15:04:24Z

This is the only one nearest I could find for 1871.

Do you have a copy of her marriage certificate?

1871 RG10/516 Folio 36
James Fossey Head 46 b Bishopsgate, Middlesex ...Harness maker
Elizabeth Fossey Wife 42 b Whitechapel, Middlesex
James H Fossey Son 13 b Stepney ...Laborer
Phillip Fossey Son 11 b Stepney
Susanna Fossey Dau 7 b Whitechapel
Clara Fossey Dau 5 b Whitechapel
Albert Fossey Son 3 b Whitechapel
Laurence Fossey Son 5mths b Whitechapel
17 Woods Buildings, Whitechapel, London

I checked the 1881 census & it would appear
that some of this family did move to Lancashire.

When was Susannah Fossey born?

Can you give the full details of the 1901 census?

Sue

susannah fossey help please

k4zz4 — 2007-08-07 19:14:11Z

I have her in the 1901 census as susannah storey. This is definately her as I know the rest of the family.

The only thing I can find before that is possibly in the birth records but the DOB is 5 years out but everything else tallies and the only one I can find. I do know she was born in London.

In 1891 I find her working as a servant. Which was told to me by my granny. So I think this is right.

If anyone has any info or could possibly check for me and find her before 1891 I would be most grateful.

Thanx

geoffrey543 — 2006-12-28 23:06:57Z

Dear Sir/Madam,

Iwas interested in the notice which you posted with Ancestry.com, Re; Cyril William Fossey, for I am a decendant of the Fossey bloodline.
You may well be in charge of the following information, but nevertheless I felt that I had to contact you regarding your family. Here goes.....

On the 7th. April, 1910, Cyril William,( aged 8 ) along with his parents Charles William (36) and Maud Mary Fossey (35) and his siblings Cecilia Maud (13) and Ada Mary (11) set sail from Liverpool, England to Portland, Maine aboard the S.S.Canada. Their Final Destination according to the ship's Manifest was Magrath, Alberta.
Cyril and his sisters were born in the Civil Parish called Balby-with-Hexthorpe, which is near to Doncaster in South Yorkshire, England. It is to be presumed that Cyril's father and mother moved there from Little Eversden ( which is near the city of Cambridge) to look for employment on the railways, for Charles William is described as a Railway Platelayer in the 1901 Census, and they lived at No.8, Great North Railway Cottages, Corn Hill, Balby.
Charles William was born in Little Eversden, as was his wife Maud Mary. Of Charles William's parents, his mother Hannah was born in Little Eversden, but his father , John Fossey was born in Arelesy which is near Ampthill in Bedfordshire. John was an Agricultural Labourer according to the 1881 Census and at that time had three children, Charles William (6), Percy (3) and May (1). A significant proportion of the male members of the Fossey family were involved in farming, both as farm owners and/or labourers.
In the 1891 Census May is not included in the houshold list, but it could have been that she was staying with relatives that day. However another child was included and her name was Ella and she was 3 yrs. old on Census Day.
The 1861 Census has John ( father of Charles William) as a scholar of the age of 9 years, with brothers William (19) and Samuel (6) and sister Sarah (14). Their parents were called John (46) and Hannah/Elizabeth (45) and they lived at No.14 Church Ends, Arlesey, next door to another Fossey Family.

I hope this communication has been of some interest to you.

My best Wishes,

Geoffrey James Wallace

I am from the Fossey line that escaped to England from France. My 2C1R has most of the family history on the Fossey's that migrated from England to Florida. I haven't come across a Susannah so far in my research (I've just started the Fossey connection) but she may have more information for you. If you'd like to contact me I can give you more information

Re: fossey france/london

KathleenNowakowski — 2004-08-11 03:44:46Z

My ancestors escaped from France during the French Revolution and settled in England -In fact my father came to America from England in the early twenties and went to medical school in Tennesseee - The family settled in Miami and my uncle ,.A.D.H. Fossey, was the mayor of Miami in the thirties -- A cousin ,Beverly Carr,has been contacted by someone in Dorchester who has the same great grandfather -- If you will look up Beverly under Fossey on Google , she has all the info on this part of the family -She is in England right now and plans to visit our newfound cousin --Ellen McGowan

Hi, i saw you were looking for UK Fossey's. Most of my family came from the Poplar area of London but are believed to have fled France with the Hugenots in the 19th century. I dont know of any Susannah Fossey but that doesnt mean anything. Where was she buried? Have you tried the Public Records Office web site which now has details of the 1901 census on line?

Re: Re french Fosseys

2003-03-16 16:49:40Z

Barb,
I previously corresponded with several Fosseys in the Minnesota and Iowa areas and they indicated that they were originally from Norway and had first changed their name to FossAy, then later to Fossey.
You might want to contact one of the "Minnesota Fossey's" and clarify the above.

Hi Barb,
Thanks for the update on your "Fosseys".
There are a lot of French Fosseys (I think they pronounce the name "Foo-say")and they could well be related down the line, but right now I'm dealing with my English kin.
Nice to hear from you!!

Hi Kelvin,
John William Fossey Jr. was born 15 Jan 1843, in Noyan, Rouville County, Quebec, Canada. He was the first son of John William Fossey ( Jane Taylor from Ireland.
John Sr. was born in Arlesey, England, I believe, on 16 May 1797.

My boyfriend, Thomas Layton Reed (11-17-69)is searching for information on his mother Mildred Fossey. She was once married to Ronald Reed. She is from Kansas. We know of one deceased brother Johnston Fossey. I have spoken to his wife and she claims that his mother does not want to have any contact. Thom has not seen his mother in 16 years. He was taken into DFS custody around age 14? We are planning on getting married, and I would like to be able to tell my children about their past. I do not have any children at the present moment, but Thom has two from a previous relationship. We see the kids often and I would like to be able to tell them about their heritage, but it is difficult when no one will communicate with you. If any of this makes sense, or if you could offer a little help, PLEASE contact me.

Gene: Thanks for your message. We are one
of those Minnesota Fosseys. My husband's
grandparents were Fossay's. Our son has
traced the ancestors back to my husband's
great grandfather from a village northeast
of Oslo..where the name was not Fossay or
Fossey, but Olson from Ole Erickson (sons
took the father's first name and added son
to it. So they were Erickson's originally,
from the family farm named Foseid, in Brandvold, Solor, Norway. Thanks for your
interest.
It seems a good many Fossey's come from
France. I have been contacted in the past
by some of them, but apparently there is no
family connection there.
Thanks for your offer of help.
