Sylvia

many thanks plenty to go on there.

The names Heatley, Heys and Craven are always on these records.

I never knew RC records were not on family search that is maybe why I can't find any records pre-1837 for my Heatley's.

I have found one marriage of a Heatley who married a Heys.

I do think that John Heatley 1813 father did marry a Heys but was it Mary Heys?

you say you go to Preston regularly. Have you managed to find the appropriate baptisms & marriages.

A lot of the RC records give extra information in the register, often as notes in the margin

HI Ann

I have not been to Preston this year but I have been 5 times before.
I was not always looking for Heatley's.

I have looked for records for John 1813 and possible parents.

I did not find anything that I have not found on line.
I did not find any more possible marriage for his parents.
I did not find a birth record for John 1813.

I will trry and find time to go back soon

Is this my John Heatley Surgeon?
How would I ever prove it.
Does anyone know if records of army surgeons in the 1850's exist?

The Standard (London, England), Friday, September 07, 1855
THE ARMY
MEDICAL OFFICES FOR FOREIGN SERVICE - Orders were received yesterday at the garrison at Chatham for the undernamed medical officers, for embarkation for services at the hospital at Scutari, Crimea, and the colonies: - Acting Assistant Surgeon T L W Wright, left the General Hospital this morning for Portsmouth, to relieve from duty Assistant Surgeon Edward Dolen, who embarks at that port in medical charge of troops for the Crimea. Assistant Surgeon J Coates MD, 26th Regiment, is also to embark for the East and to exchange into another on his arrival there and Assistant Surgeon George C Clery, with the following 7 Acting assistant surgeons, from the General Hospital Fort Pitt, embark for Seutari and the Crimea, viz:- William V Brown, T PMitchell, D Knox, S Herbert, W L Veale, Charles Cooper and G G Leake. Acting Assistant Surgeon J J Kelly and Acting Assistant Surgeon C G Le Febure proceed to Barbadoes: ACTING ASSISTANT SURGEON JOHN HEATLEY and Acting Assistant Surgeon Bell embark for JAMAICA.....etc
There are up to the present date 276 invalid patients in the General Hospital at Fort Pitt and 339 in the supplemental hospital at Brompton Barracks; and there are about 400 patients
in the hospitals at Chichester & Portsmouth.
A very large number of invalids from te invalid depot St Mary's Barracks, being convalescents, left this morning in vans for conveyance to Gravesend thence to be forwarded to their friends and homes.
Serjeant Brodie 1st Royal Dragoons, whorecently prevented a duel at Canterbury has arrived at the invalid depot to be discharged from the service. He objects to this mode of getting rid of him as he is still able and willing to serve her Majesty and his country.

There may be a record of this man's marraige at Kew (relatively easy to find, although not online). Also his baptism (a more involved search!)

Simon

Simon Report 4 May 2011 16:09

I live in Manchester but if I ever go to London I will go to Kew for a number of ancestors including John Heatley.

If his marriage record lists his parents that would be brilliant.

Thanks for your input.

Another find but the details are only able to be viewed at Kew.

This is one year after John Heatley 1813 married to Ellen Jackson

Heatley V Rose I wonder what it is about, I really do need to go to Kew.

Lawrence Lucas pops again
Another William Heys
and a John Eastwood
a Thomas Eastwood married Catherine Taylor who was bequeathed Brindle Hall by Captain William Heatley in 1840 (are these two Eastwoods Connected?)
And another Ellen Jackson is she a different Ellen Jackson to the one John married? or is the date on the internet wrong and it is 1835 or 1836?
Who is Margaret Jackson??

So if Catherine Eastwood was Captain William Heatleys niece.

A sister of the Captain married a Taylor.

So Catherine Taylor

Are we making assumptions do you think or are we on the right track. With what seem to be common names for the area is there more than one family?

We have Brindle, Lytham and now Preston???

LOL

Taylors and Heatleys

So this could be the marriage of Catherine Eastwood parents

Catherine Heatley could be the sister of William Heatley

I found this

* The Heatleys, always staunch recusants, had resided at Samlesbury.
Brindle, and the neighbourhood for many generations. James at one time
resided in Preston, and gave his name to Heatley Street. His son, Captain
William Heatley, of Brindle Lodge, who died July 21, 1840, aged 76, was the squire so identified with the chapel at Brindle. During his life he was a generous benefactor to chapels at Manchester, Preston and elsewhere, and bequeathed large sums to the Church.

If Catherine Heatley father is James Heatley then I think it is quite likely that William is Catherine sister.

I have hunch that John Heatley 1813 grandfather was a James Heatley ,who knows they might be the same James.

Is this brother of Catherine Heatley?

Marriage: 17 Aug 1784 St John, Preston, Lancashire, England
James Heatley - of Salmsbury in the parish of Blackburn

Simon Report 5 May 2011 13:53

Could this James be John 1813 grandfather?

If James, Catherine and William Heatley were siblings who were their parents?

Captain William Heatley was born in 1764

So he would have been 20 when these two were married.
He never married.
