Thread: The Carey Family

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to start researching my family's tree. I can remember a member of my late fathers family, coming to their house many years ago - something like twenty years ago!! He came to my parents house (Edward Thomas Carey & Eileen Rose Carey) in Chadwell St Mary, Essex. This chap said he had been researching the family tree for some years. But, no one can seem to recall his name. I think he may have come from east London area- possibly?

As I'm new to this site, I'm really not sure what other available information I need to give.



My late Father (Edward) had three other Brothers: Charlie(D), Arthur(D) and John and One sister Kitty.



My Mother (Eileen) had two Brothers; Tommy(D), Richard(Dikie)(D).



My Mother and Father had two sons:myself (David Paul Carey) and my Brother (Melvin Thomas Richard Carey).



My late Fathers Brother Arthur(D) married Jean, and had three children;Elizabeth, Paul and Christopher.



His other Brother Charlie married Eva, but they had no children.



His Brother John married Marrion, they had two children; A girl whose name I can't recall, and a Son Allen.



My Mums Brother Tommy had three children; Tommy, Kim, and Darren.





Here's hoping for some news

May I suggest you take this one step or couple at a time.



The 2 things you don't mention which are quite important are your mothers maiden name and an idea of when these events took place.



I would start with your parents. With your mothers maiden name you should be able to find their marriage very easily. If you don't already have it you can then send for their Marriage cert. This will give you the information you need to go back further ( Hopefully )



The cert will give you ages / occupations/ fathers names etc.



The aim, I think, is to try and get yourself back to the 1901 census were tracing people and looking for clues beceomes easier.



We are all willing to help when given the information to do so



Good Luck

E



PS - Take a look at the FREEBMD website. It's a good place to start the search for the information you need

Hi,

thanks for the tips. My Mothers Maiden name is Mayo and they were married on July 2nd 1949.





I hope this helps

Now the 1911 census is available, you may only need to get back to then now.



p.s - your parents lived a couple of miles away from me

Any idea of your Mum's birth year, could this be her - born 1930, mother's maiden name Cloke?



Name: Eileen R Mayo Mother's Maiden Surname: Cloke Date of Registration: Jan Feb Mar 1930 Registration district: Orsett Registration county: Essex Volume Number: 4a Page Number: 970

If the above birth is your mum, this could be her parents' marriage. (All this info would need to be checked)



Name: Richard J Mayo Year of Registration: 1927 Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec Spouse's Surname: Cloke District: Orsett County: Essex Volume: 4a Page: 132

Brides name Emma M Cloke.

A possible birth for Richard.



Name: Richard James Mayo Year of Registration: 1898 Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep District: Orsett County: Essex Volume: 4a Page: 524



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



IF this is your relative he hould be on the 1901 census. What do you think? Any names ring bells?

Hi,

thanks for all the great information! Yes, I can confirm that my Mothers maiden name was Cloke. And her Father Richard James Mayo was born in 1898.



My Mum just told me, her Father Richard James Mayo had two other Brothers William and John. But, the trail goes cold there.



My Fathers parents were Edward Thomas Carey, and he married Jane Spriggs. And that's about all I know. It'd be great to trace back a number of generations on both my parents sides. But, I've lost contact with most of my relations.



Many thanks



Dave
