Re: Our origins- Waterfords in surrey

I am a descendant of William Waterford brother of Ann Waterford a great grandmother of yours. I live in Australia and his only living descendants are from our immediate family and our second cousins (tight knit group). What do you know of Ann and William's parents? Have they also been from England or is there a link with the county Waterford in Ireland?

My Waterfords were in Sullivan County, TN. They went there from Washington and Tazewell counties in VA.

Harriet Waterford, married James Coley. Their family ultimately settled in Clinton Co., OH. I have a letter that refers to a David Waterford, and property in VA.

The surnames Thompson, Day and Preston also figure in this equation. Anything familiar?

I would love to share further. You can reach me at Crocwyth@AOL.com

Ann Waterford was my gggggrandmother. Her family came from Limpsfield in Surrey, not far from Godstone, and she lived in Caterham. One of her brothers, William was transported to Australia and later became a grazier there, (and married five times).

He was between 12-14 years of age.His parents were Thomas & Eleanor (????) Gayton of the same county. I have no information on any city, except that he embarked from Waterford.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Re: Waterford Family: VA, Sullivan Co., TN, Clermont, OH, Kent Co., Ontario

janicemccaughan57 — 2004-09-10 01:26:35Z

I'm researching Waterfords with VA, TN, OH and Canadian connections and believe we may be researching similar lines. Specifically, Letitia WATERFORD (b. @1832 in US) married my greatgrandfather John MYERS in Camden Twp, Kent Co., Ontario on Nov. 10, 1855. They had 8 children: Elizabeth, John, Jr., Florinda, Charles, Alexander, Malinda, Adam and Anna.

My Letitia WATERFORD was the daughter of Adam WATERFORD (b. VA) and Elizabeth Unknown (b. VA). Their family appears in Sullivan Co., TN (possibly Blountville) in both the 1830 & 1840 US Census. Adam is dead by 1840. By 1850 the family appears in Goshen, Clermont Co., OH and identifies the following siblings of Letitia WATERFORD: Alexander, Granville, Eniston/Emerson/Emberson, Melinda, Sarah, Lafayette, Elizabeth. Letitia's brother William has a separate family in Clermont OH by 1850 (I believe he may have married in 1839 in TN to B. Atchison). The entire family moved to Kent Co., Ontario, Canada by 1855. Emerson/Emberson WATERFORD married Mary A. GRIFFIN in Chatham in 1858; Sarah WATERFORD married Jonathan GRINAGE in 1859 in Chatham and Alexander WATERFORD married Martha Jane GRIFFIN in 1859 in Chatham. By 1861 Letita and John MYERS lived in Camden/Gore and the remaining WATERFORDS lived in Chatham. The family (other than Letitia) falls off of the Ontario Census after 1861 -- I believe they moved to BC before 1871. Alexander and William WATERFORD show up in Portland, OR in the 1880 US Census. I've found some later land references to Emberson/Emberson WATERFORD in southern California but haven't had a chance to research this further.

Please let me know if we are researching similar lines. I'd love to share research if you're interested.

Shaun

if you look at the 1901 UK census you will see there are 27 male WATERFORDS.

If you know grand or great grand fathers names that may help.

Egans of tramore

mikeegan_1 — 2003-02-18 19:17:02Z

I'm searching for the Egan family based in Tramore in the early 19th Century.
Laurence Egan married Catherine Donovan in Tramore in 1813. They had 8 children, the eldest Patrick (born 1814) married Ann Mansfield. The second child Mary (born 1817) probably died as an infant. Thomas ( born 1818) also probably died as an infant. There was a fourth child, also called Mary (born 1819) and another Thomas (born 1822). The sixth child William (born 1825) married Ellen Hunt in 1858. The seventh child James (born 1828), my GGGrandfather, married Sarah Cain in Liverpool in 1853. The eighth child Catherine married Alexander Murray in 1865.
I have been unable to progress any further on Laurence Egan for at least 5 yrs. I suspect he was born outside County Waterford . The names Mary and Thomas were obviously of significance as they named two sets of children, probably after Laurence or Catherine's parents. Laurence was designated as a bookkeeper on James' wedding certificate. Laurence operated as a tenant farmer in 1834 as he was listed in Griffiths Valuation as having 2 acres of land in Carrickavantry (Carrigavantry). Laurence had died by 1864 and the tenancy was taken over by his son William.
I'd appreciate any help or information that may aid me in my efforts to trace my family line and would be pleased to exchange information with anyone who thinks they have a connection.

I've traced some records from Godstone Surrey, England of the Waterford's there around 1710 or so.
Anybody have any info on the origins of the family name before then?
I can't find any record of the family name in present day
UK. Must have all gone to the Colonies.

How does a person get access to RC-B<M<D records? Are they in NLI, do you have to have permission from parish priest?

My family knows of the Monroe County, Indiana "connection." David Waterford and his wife Elizabeth settled there sometime around 1850. We are interested in finding the link with the Waterford family in Virginia. Do you have anything you would be willing to share? Thanks

Waterford in Indiana

2001-05-27 11:37:44Z

I've been tiring to make a connection with the name Waterford in Knox Indiana (Starke Co.) My gr grandmother Mary Canan born abt. 1860 was married to a WATERFORD. Her son (my grandfather) Francis M. Canan (Waterford) never knew his father and was raised by his grandparents, hence the reason behind his name being CANAN. Does anyone have any information on WATERFORD's in the Knox, IN (Starke Co.) area?
