Hi,

I'm looking forward to working with you on those profiles! I have sent you a private message with details.

Hi Marc. Unless someone can produce Spencer's Royal Navy service record from before 2 February 1857, he cannot have been awarded the Crimean or Baltic Medals. Also, I know of no medal called the White Sea Medal. The Crimea medal was awarded for services between Oct 1853 and Feb 1856. The Baltic Medal was awarded for services between Mar 1854 and Aug 1855. These were before his services as Mate R.N.

The White Sea medal is presumably meant to be the Baltic Medal. "A British Detached Squadron under Captain Erasmus Ommaney of the twenty-six gun sailing frigate HMS Eurydice, with the fifteen-gun Miranda and the steam corvette Brisk set off in June 1854. Miranda was originally destined for the Baltic Fleet in May 1854 but was diverted into the White Sea." -- Google the Article by Peter Duckers, see: https://www.dcmmedals.co.uk/the-destruction-of-kola-1854-hms-miranda-in-the-white-sea/

"Medley also served in the Baltic aboard the HMS Brisk". Not possible as HMS Brisk was not entitled to the Baltic nor the Crimea medals as it did not take p[art in either campaign.

Also, of note is that the Baltic Campaign was from Mar 1854 to Aug 1855 and the Crimea between Oct 1853 and Mar 1856, well before his service commenced in 1857

In addition. the Roll of Royal Naval honours and awards shows only the New Zealand medal being awarded to him for the second New Zealand War aboard HMS Iris as a Midshipman. However, when the award was made in 1869/70 he had been promoted to Lieutenant and his medal is so named and embossed with date 1860 - 1861.

Perhaps the "journalists" of the day enhanced his reputation in his obituary ?

HI Marc please send me your email address on Private thanks and I will add you to Hanahapai Te Auraki's profile as she is sister to Mereana Maihi.

Hi Marc I've proposed a couple of merges for the sake of the Single Family Tree and requested Trusted status as well. It looks like we both have the same lineage as my Gt GM was Hanahapai Te Auraki Maihi - my mother is named after her as Hannah Hapai and my mother is still alive. I would really like to add to some of this whakapapa and accept merges with thanks. Also please PM me we have some cousins on the Central Coast I am sure you would like to meet :)

I am impressed by Marc's zeal in updating new information. A real professional for the benefit of others..

Thank you. Jeremy Carter

Hi Marc You have done some updating for my Great great Grandmother Elizabeth Frances Winder. I am her great Grandaughter Robyn Winder

I am struggling to find my Great Great Grandfather Patrick Winder who was from Listowell in County Kerry Ireland. Elizabeths husband is one of his children Charles James Winder who emigrated with Patrick to New Zealand. Hoping you may be able to help REgards Robyn Winder

Hi Marc, a profile you manage Thursday October Chistian I has an incorrect spouse due to a profile merge that happened a couple of years back. See the comments on that profile. Would it be possible for you to remove the spouse Tevarua, and leave the spouse Teraura. Note the similarity in names, which is why the error occurred. See Paul Lareau's research for Tevarua and Teraura. Thursday and Teraura are my 5th great grandparents. Thanks for any help you can offer - I can edit Thursday as the profile is protected.

Hi Marc

Thank you for editing the marriage of my great grandparents, Dr. Christopher J. B. Johnson and Harriett Brady. Are you related to Harriett in any way? Thanks again. Caralee Johnson Arendt

Hi Marc

Sorry for the 'wrong' connection between https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Attwell-253 and https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Baker-20355! This was my first case of this situation: They had an illegitimate child, but was never married. This has been corrected now.

Marc , merci beaucoup pour les renseignements , mais ma grand-mère était une Francé ( avec l'accent sur le é ) pas une france ou de france comme il y en a beaucoup . Je suis déjà remonté avec elle ( sa famille ) jusque 1760 Adrianus franciscus Francé , mais vous voyez l'accent est toujours là . Ils étaient du coté de saint Agatha Rhode en Belgique . Merci beaucoup en tout cas . Mme Lamberg Sonia veuve Rouer

Hi Mark,

Re: Ablett and Glassborow, I suggest we do all the merges first, (slightly painful I know) then I will get Joanne to add the rest of the family, including relatives by marriage etc. Cheers Drew / Jo

Marc, Peter Alexander Rupert Carington died today. He was the son of Carington-2 and is a Notable, having been 6th Baron Carrington and a British Foreign Minister.

As he has died, could you open this profile now?

Thanks, Vic

Hi Marc

Thanks for the merge for Alexandra Coke, all I can say is that it escaped my attention that a profile already existed at the time of creation

Hi Marc, thanks for the message on the Marion Stein profile. When I created it in 2013 she was still alive. I've added her death date and opened up her profile accordingly.

Hi Marc, thanks for the note on Jane Daltera/Daltern. Indexed as Daltera on Familysearch (record added) but that could be a typo. Have added Daltern as an alternative surname. John
