Find Ancestors

My Aunt and I are doing this together - but we have come to a stop re George Sumpter (that I found re marriage to a Susannah Steed (her father was Richard Smith - Nevell (can anyone explain the different names? Maybe it was a second girls name like Hilary was a boy's name?)

Anyway - George was the 2nd son of John Sumpter Esq. from Whetstone ,Middlesex. but cannot find records. From the Oppisite side - from 1701 in Dammeral - and have traced the family, but not the line.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Also on Richard Smith-Newell sent to Sth Australia as a Master stair case. One of his still complete! :-)

Dates for George?

Either Susannah was illegitimate...........or she'd been married before

"From the Oppisite side - from 1701 in Dammeral - and have traced the family, but not the line"

What does this mean?

What on earth is a master stair case?

I didn't dare to ask..............!

...........especially as it was followed by........... "One of his still complete"

Think some could be Australia related, looking at Richard Smith Newell on google...

(also some mentions in below newspapers. AUS.)

Yes Chris, the OP said Richard was 'sent to Australia', so that will tally nicely

Good work, Reggie!
But did you ever figure out what a "master stair case" was?
Thought it might have something to do with a "Newell" post.

MARGEE!!! -That is a terrible pun (but laughing anyway!)
