Hi Lesley
I am doing research on descendants of John Butcher and Hannah Geeves via their daughter Anne. Descendants are scattered across Alberta, British Columbia and Kansas.
Is there any way to obtain the information relating to these families in GEDCOM format?

Thomas John Geeves was my 4th great grandfather.
There is an entry in the IGI marriages for him & Elizabeth Peppiatt but the dates don't tie up and it shows he married twice, his second wife in Tasmania. It also shows his parents as John Geeves & Sarah Manning.
Do you think the same as me that they have got it wrong?

Name: louanne <louaust2001@yahoo.com> Date: 2008-02-27 Did you find a relative? ????? Comments:
Hi, I enjoyed briefly surfing your site... My Chandler ancestors were George and Jane Chandler who along with their 7 children, emigrated from Wiltshire England to America(Philadelphia) in 1687. George died aboard ship. Jane later married James Baylis in 1695. Since both Chandler and Baylis names appear on your site, I am curious if there is a possible connection.... There is a family history book published in 1937 ...the Chandlers of Oare, which documents the first Chandler coming to England from Normandy about 1200. I am wondering if our branches are connected?
thanks,
louanne

Hi, I'm Teryn, the daughter of Terry Attwell and grandaughter of Mona Neame/Attwell. I came across this site by accident when I 'googled' my Dad's name. My Dad and I are both really impressed and interested, he had no idea of his connection with the Chandler family beforehand. If you'd ever like some more information about Mona Attwell's family I would be pleased to help out. :)

Before my marriage I was a Crawford. Rose Miles born 1787 married John Crawford (or Crowfoot as it is often listed) and was my GT.GT.GT.grandmother. I only found out her surname last week and so have had an instant expansion to my tree. Having done so well with the Miles line I can only ask, has anyone gone any further back on the Crawford line. Rose's husband John born 1786 in Stanfield Norfolk is the earliest one I have.Many thanks for all the info. Kathy

Ena,
The George Chandler who emigrated to New Zealand is not the one listed in the 1851 census as the child of John CHANDLER and Sarah. My ancestor George CHANDLER was born in 1844 to John CHANDLER and Emma SAMUEL. They are sure to be related but I don't have the connection yet.
Nice to hear from you.

My GG grandfather Hugh Charles VINE was a younger brother of Jane LUTER in your tree (born ca. 1844, Isle of Wight). Her full correct name is Jane Luter VINE, daughter of William VINE and Jane CUSHEN - can be verified via the online BMD indexes at Isle of Wight FHS. Other siblings are William John, James, Silas Edward and Hannah Martha Cotton. I believe Luter may be her paternal grandmother's maiden name but haven't been able to verify yet. After marrying John GUBBINS in 1861 she had twelve children (giving several family names)and died ca. 1890. Not sure if we are very distant cousins as a result!
Kind regards, Linda

Name: Jock Hooper <jocks_lot@msn.com> Date: 2004-08-09 Did you find a relative? Yep, I am a decendant of the John Thomas line. Comments:
Whilst reviewing those pages pertaining to the decentants of John Thomas and in particular those pertaining to my father Clarrie Hooper I notice his wife is listed as Isobel. This is not so strange in that she would often spell her name that way, & also use Isobel Mary. Reality is, she was christened Isabella Darling Wright (Birth Cert 36670 Carterton)Daughter of William Darling Wright & Annie Joanna Lipinski.Clarries decendants is incomplete in that Clarrie had three children. Margaret as listed. Clarence (Jock, me) & Alan Arthur. I note with interest the photo depicting John Thomas as shown. I have real reservations that this is John Thomas. That aside I enjoyed viewing the site. As indicated earlier Outlook express does little for me and woud prefer to use conventional Hot mail should you wish to establish contact. Lastly it was a great pleasure to find a site addressing the Wairarapa Hooper Clan. keep it up

So interested in your Hurndall names. Where did those come from? My great-great grandfather was John Hurndall. My mother's grandmother, Emily Gertrude Hurndall, married Edgar Boot in NZ and eventually they came to California, where they had more children.
Hoping to hear some info... Toni

Hi Lesley,
Some of your Chandler names follow with some of my names, but the dates dont add up. So I would say that some of the names in your family, also follow through with some of the same names in my line. Like Samuel, Mary, Alice,
In the 1881 census at 38 Mallard St, Hackney, London, Middlesex, Samuel Chandler age 34 born Essex, England 1843.
His wife Eliza Chandler born Mile End, Middlesex 1847.
Lesley I am from NP, New Zealand.
