A tree on ancestry has two more children for John Anthony Roach, namely Lilian Eileen Birth 2 Nov 1912, and Cedric Edgar Birth 9 Mar 1915.

It also says Edith is Edith Winifred Mabel Yates and gives baptism details but no marriage details, and has a photo of John Anthony Roach.

Name: Edith Winifred Mabel Yates
Record Type: Baptism
Baptism Date: 3 Jul 1887
Father's Name: Alfred Yates
Mother's Name: Maria Amelia Caroline Yates
Parish or Poor Law Union: St Marylebone
Borough: Westminster
Register Type: Parish Registers

The tree has no parents for Edward Saxton Tully or John Anthony Roach.

Well found Kucinta! - You have been very busy whilst I have been asleep :-D

I am sure that Richard will be thrilled with all of this info.

Richard might well know all this already - we're still stuck on the original question of where John Anthony Roach and Edward Saxton Tully appeared from and their antecedents :-(

Thanks for all the help. I have even tried the East India Company and been on the Forces reunion site as I am ex-Royal Navy but still no joy. I hope that I shall have a bit more info this evening as I am talking to my wife's youngest sister who is said to have mother-in-laws marriage certificate. I'll keep you posted.

I'm not convinced the ancestry tree has the right bride for John Anthony Roach in Edith Winifred Mabel Yates.

I believe I have found her in census 1911 with widowed father Alfred still in London and still single.

Census 1911:

Address: 76 Arlington Road St Pancras N W County: London

YATES, Alfred Head Widower M 63 1848 House Agent London St Marylebone<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
YATES, Maria Daughter Single F 38 1873 London St Marylebone
YATES, Emma Daughter Single F 34 1877 London St Marylebone
YATES, Sophia Daughter Single F 32 1879 London St Pancras N W
YATES, Adelaide Daughter Single F 31 1880 Silk Lamp Shademaker London St Pancras N W
YATES, Edith Daughter Single F 26 1885 Silk Lamp Maker Wembley Sudbury<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
YATES, Amy Daughter Single F 24 1887 London St Pancras N W
YATES, Lydia Daughter Single F 21 1890 London St Pancras N W
YATES, Arthur Son Single M 20 1891 Porter Jeweller London St Pancras N W
YATES, Annie Daughter Single F 15 1896 Gold Embroider London St Pancras N W


Death of mother? Maria Louisa C rather than Maria Amelia Caroline...

Deaths Sep 1899 Yates Maria Louisa C 49 Pancras 1b 12

EDIT: On the baptisms of children Annie, Lydia and Arthur, Maria is Maria Louisa Caroline Yates. Address 76 Arlington Road.


at the same address in 1901 Edith is Edith W.

Census 1901

Address: 76, Arlington Road, St Pancras County: London

YATES, Alfred Head Widower M 53 1848 Carpenter Marylebone, London
YATES, Maria C Daughter Single F 28 1873 Marylebone, London
YATES, Sophia E Daughter Single F 22 1879 Silk Lamp Shade Maker
St Pancras, London
YATES, Adelaide E Daughter Single F 21 1880 Silk Lamp Shade Maker
St Pancras, London
YATES, George H Son Single M 19 1882 Plumber Mates
St Pancras, London
YATES, Edith W Daughter Single F 16 1885 Silk Lamp Shade Maker
Wembley Sudbury, Suffolk<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
YATES, Amy B F Daughter Single F 14 1887 St Pancras, London
YATES, Lydia M Daughter Single F 11 1890 St Pancras, London
YATES, Arthur R Son Single M 9 1892 St Pancras, London
YATES, Annie L R Daughter Single F 5 1896 St Pancras, London

EDIT: It IS the same Edith Winfred Mabel Yates as on her baptism, that I posted earlier, the actual image of the baptism register has father Alfred's occupation as carpenter, and the address as 76 Arlington Road Camden Town, which is the same as in censuses 1901 and 1911 in this post. Edith was baptised the same date as younger sister Amy Blanche Flora, who also appears in both census 1901, and 1911, after the Roaches were already producing children in India.

The tree also did not have any details at all as to when the supposed marriage took place, or where.

Edith Winifred Mabel Yates seems to have married in 1911 so she can't be John Anthony Roach's wife:

Kucinta,

Have you deleted a post or am I going seriously 'doolally' ??

Yes, I thought about it and realised Richard would know, as it was his mother in law, and maybe it was a bit too recent and personal.

Kucinta Report 25 Jan 2014 14:34

I don't know if the ancestry tree compiler had a reason for deciding on Edith Winifred Mabel Yates, and whether he somehow knew Edith W's maiden name was indeed Yates.

(I did pm a copy of both censuses and the marriage I just found to the tree owner.)

If so, names reversed, and a long way from Madras, but?????

I'm finding this SO frustrating, so who knows how Rick feels!

Thank goodness for that - I thought I was seeing things. ;-)

I didn't put much info on mine as it was quite recent but I will delete it anyway, just in case.

Thanks Dea and Kucinta that clears up things a bit and makes more sense. Please put in all you find it wont upset us as we have both worked in the medical profession. If it is any help I spoke to sister-in-law and she said that their family were Roman Catherlics until her father had a falling out with the priest over birth control. He is interred in St Joseph's in Kezipet. He had two brothers called James and Oscar, but more info later when she has found all the details.

Hi Rick,

the post I'd deleted was just a notice in the London Gazette calling for anyone who thought they had a claim on Ursula Millicent Tully's estate to come forward, and mentioning Llewellyn Edward Tully.

After posting I realised this was your Mother in law so you'd know about it, and ditto the chap was almost certainly your bro in law, so you'd know about him as well, and basically my post wasn't taking us any further forward.

Sadly that seems true of most of mine - EST and JAR are remaining very elusive :-(

Unfortunately not finding very much at all.

BTW, do you know Edith Winifred's maiden name from your research? I guess I'm wondering whether she was indeed a Yates, or whether that surname might be a complete red herring.

No idea if this is 'your' Oscar:

Name: Oscar N Tully
Port of Departure: Beira, Mozambique
Arrival Date: 15 Aug 1939
Port of Arrival: London, England
Ports of Voyage: Beira
[Dar es Salaam]
[Mombasa]
Ship Name: Malda

Shipping Line: British India Steam Navigation Company Ltd<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Official Number: 146286

Almost certainly not, only 5 months old. Father Percival E. civil servant aged 52 and Mrs Lisbeth C aged 37. heading for 38 Leighon Road Itchen. Last abode Tanganyika. no other children with them.

There is a Tully family in the Madras region originating with James Tully born c1839 Madras, son of Robert, who had several children by his second wife Alice. However some baptism and marriages are recorded on familysearch, which I don't think would be the case if they were catholic baptisms, though I stand to be corrected.

According to a tree on Ancestry James had 12 children by second wife Alice Sophie Beebie between 1870 and 1893, including 8 sons, though I have no idea of the accuracy of this, as the tree is unsourced.

I did wonder if there was some connection to Edward Saxton Tully, but certainly cannot make such a connection myself. There are other Tullys in the area also.. Again, red herring territory?

I realise this is grasping at straws and goes totally against the cardinal rule of start with what you know is certain and work back from there. :-(

I think I'll deleat Edith Winifred Yates from the tree although I might upset a few of the other tree owners and leave it blank for a while. I have also found other inconsistances in the tree so another one is not to be expected.
I think we can discount the Oscar Tully on the ship.

Kucinta

Kucinta Report 26 Jan 2014 17:34

Well, she is Edith Winifred, or a variation thereof as both names show up in her children's baptisms.

It's her maiden name and her origins we don't know.

Kucinta and Dea,
I think I may have stumbled over one of my answers, whilst working on a totaly new tree on the the FHL site Icame across a John Anthony Roach date of birth 19.03.1872 not 1873 as we have been using. date of death was the same.
Their code is LDRL-1PB.
WIFE Edith Winifred Yates 1886 - 1918 Their code LDRG-MM1
Married Jan 1903 in Secunderabad Andhra Pradesh.
Parents of J A R - John Roach LDRL-B2H
Elizabeth White LDRL-BPK
MARRIED 28TH jUNE 1834.
Added to FHL system in Sept. 2013 by MMBQ-DGZ.
So one of my original questions seems to be solved but can one of you please please confirm it?

regards Rick
