• Tip: The census records are a good start, and you should be able to find images of all the birth records for each child on irishgenealogy. They have exact birth date, places, fathers Occupation, and mother’s maiden names. Once you get that, you can search for the marriage of the parents, and that gives their fathers names. The civil records are great, but only go back to 1864 for births, a bit earlier for marriages.

Interesting Finds

List interesting finds to share with the guest at the end of the week

• John Caspall (bef.1780-bef.1852) won prizes for growing pears and potatoes from the local horticultural society in 1847
• John Caspall (bef.1819-) was a Shipwright who married twice and fathered at least 15 children
• John Henry Caspall (abt.1846-) was master of a fishing “smack” operating from Ramsgate. He was in the papers in 1870 when his ship lost its mast and had to be towed to Lowestoft, and again in 1880 when he towed another smack back to Ramsgate after a bad storm. Do we need a Ramsgate Space? PDF
• Captain John Moses (bef.1676-1733) his family has a crest and a memorial slab in the church at St Laurence in Thanet in Kent (description on his profile)
• Great-grandfather Stephen Peer had an altercation with his neighbor over the use of the outside water source on his house in 1895.

Stephen Peer Struck with an Ax

• James Jamison received a homestead land patent in Chase, Lake County, Michigan. The land patent case file can be requested from the National Archives and may reveal addition details such as confirming his suspected military service and possibly naturalization records.
• 1864 entry for a Georgina Fuller admitted for lunacy in Kent might be the one in the tree? Post natal depression possibly? Or illegitimate children? No reason for the admission unfortunately. (Do we think she is Golding-1553?)

Free Space Pages

Military Profiles

Did any of the guests family serve in the military or military conflicts?

• 1st cousin twice removed Albert Johnston served in Spanish War in 34th Michigan Volunteer infantry.
• William Charles Caspall (1874-1918) died on board HMS Crescent in 1918, probably from influenza epidemic.
