Fanny Bryant Brickwall

[georgec]

Hi

I am trying to find out about Fanny BRYANT b 1840 at Lelant to John and Priscilla BRYANT.

I have her in the 1841 and 1815 census in Lelant and have also found her in the 1861 census in Devon at a place called Peters Marland, working as a nurse for a family called KIRWIN but cant find her any more after that.

Any one with any roots in Devon or know of any one I could get in touch with to help with this would be a great help.

Thank you George

George - I gather you have tried all relevant UK Census records for Fanny Bryant.

If so - have you tried the St Catherine's House online BMD Records for a possible Death for her.

Next option is to search St Catherine's House for a possible marriage.

Last option I can think of right now is to check Shipping Records.

Given she was a 'nurse' it may be possible she went overseas during a military campaign. (Would have to check possible destinations during the relative period.)

If you find something that indicates she may have headed for South Africa then I may be able to find some help via my online subscriptions. (Which have been very helpful so far).

If there might be some indication she came to Australia then I can be of help for Victoria and South Australia (definately) and may be able to get assistance for other States.

Also check St Catherine's House BMD for Deaths.

Let me know how you get on and I will help as best I can.

A little detective work and I think I have found your missing lady.
in 1861 you had her at the home of John Kirwan curate.
in 1891 he is at Antony and in the household is Fanny M Greentree (1840 Lelant)
Now for the fun: 1n 1871 I found Edward & Fanny Greentree at Hambledon in Hampshire (terrible transcription had Grenerck) in 1881 Edward, Fanny & son Ernest are at the Waterloo Inn, Waterloo Hampshire. Cant find Edward & Ernest after that maybe died.
Then I found 1870 Bideford Oct-Dec 5b 957 Marriage of Edward Greentree to Fanny Mitchell Bryant.
She died in 1897.(St Germans 5c 24 oct-Dec)
Hope this is what you were looking for

Excellent work and you are to be applauded.

I will try and catch up on this in the next couple of days (given I am still online).

I realise the above comment is becoming monotonous but I just do not know when this ISP will close and am still trying to sort out alternate arrangements.

My apologies.

But I appreciate the great work being done by members to help each other.

Wow what can I say, this one has been a problem for me the last few days.
Thanks very much.
Now I will try to match it up with what I have.

Once more thank you.

George - just work your way through things then let us know what you find.

From there I am sure you will develop further questions for which we will try to help find answers.

If you have a look at the Trewhella Thread you will find that I may also have found some answers albeit by accident but due to a query from one of our members.

Good Luck - Ian

Thanks for the help with this one I now have got all the info I needed and now can close this one off.

Thanks George

I have a question before you finally close this one off.

Where did MITCHELL come from as a middle name for Fanny.

Her father, John, was, to the best of my knowledge, the son of George Bryant and Catherine (nee Victor) who married at Lelant in 1798.

I believe this George to have been bp. 26th December 1773 at Lelant s/o George and Catherine (nee Leacher).

Fanny's mother, Priscilla, was, as far as I know, bp. Gwinear 18th April 1799 d/o Henry Scaddon and Elizabeth (nee Bennetts).

No sign of a MITCHELL anywhere here!

Also will write this one up for you this weekend

Hi Fanny BRYANT did not have Mitchell in her name.

Her brother John BRYANT b 18 May 1825 m Margaret Mitchell BERRIMAN b 23 Sep 1827 on the 31 Jan 1850 St Ives.
and children were:

William John Bryant b 3 Nov 1850
Matthew Mitchell Bryant b 1853
Catherine Frances Bryant b 15 July 1855
Thomas Mitchell Bryant b 11 July 1858
James H Bryant b 1860
Job Mitchell Bryant b1862
Wilmot Mitchell Bryant b 1864

that is the only time the name Mitchell was used as a middle name, as far as I know.

Hope this helps George

Thanks George - will try and work my way through this over the next few days when I some free time between work and answering other queries.
