I think this may be the case Erika. I am ordering her marriage certificate and that will give me an answer one way or the other.

Thanks again.

Having returned belatedly to this thread, I would certainly think that the facts as posted indicate that Mary's father was definitely James

I don't have the certificate ArgyllGran. I am only up to that point with her children, and am in the process of sending off for it. So until then, I am at a standstill.

So, it proves that old adage, don't believe everything your family tells you!

Thank you, Erika and Maddie again for all your help.

As soon as I have concrete evidence I can go forward. May I call on you again when I know what I am doing?

Best Wishes.

Do you have Mary Ann's birth cert (or any other document - marriage?) stating that her father was Samuel?

There were lots of Mary Ann Greens born in London c1854.

But if you're sure the 1861 census shows the correct family, then her father was James - at least that's the only marriage for a Sarah Hunt to a Green , in London, 1837-50

Oh wow. Thank you so much Maddie and ArgylleGran. As we are told, I am working backwards from Mary Ann. So have no definite details without certificates etc, but this certainly has given me more information to get cracking on.

I shall work on this new info, and see what I can find out, to go further back.

Thank you both once again for your help. Much appreciated.

edit. sorry Maddie did not see you asking about Samuel. I have him as being born 1816, Islington, but no further details.

edit. again, I have misread your post ArgyleGran, I have the Mary Ann etc as the children of Samuel, not James Green. So I don't know if this is wrong now. The dates of birth seems right, but maybe I am up a gum tree!

do you want to post the details of samuels family

MotownGal

MotownGal Report 14 Aug 2019 19:01

A bit sketchy Erika.

My link is his daughter Mary Ann b. 1854. He has two elder daughters, so maybe married between 1845-47. I am working from the 1861 Census for the family living at 4 Chapel Place. Islington. Wife is named as Sarah.

I could be linking a different Samuel, it is a common name.

edit. Logging off for the night. Will not be back on til tomorrow sometime. Thanks.

When and where did he marry?

MotownGal

MotownGal Report 14 Aug 2019 18:02

Thanks Maddie. That is a curve ball. I will have to go further into this. My Samuel, according to my research, was back in London, with a family in 1846. So maybe I need to recheck. Thanks for your time.

MotownGal

MotownGal Report 14 Aug 2019 17:53

Yes, thanks for a nod in the right direction ErikaH. Fortitude was a prison hulk, it didn't sail anywhere! So yes, Samuel would be back in London after his sentence. I had no idea.

I do appreciate information given by all of you.

Loads of info about transportation if you google

MotownGal

MotownGal Report 14 Aug 2019 15:33

Oooh thank you all so very much for taking the time to look this gentleman up.

I am assuming this is the same. When they were deported did they have transport back? I know very little about being transported.

He is back in London by 1846 and married.

I appreciated you answering. Thank you.
