Jenny,
If you click on the name--Mini,,,,,it allows you send a direct message to them...they may not visit the site now?but hopefully your message will get opened......if so they will reply back to you in the same way.

You will be or should be notified in your email there is a message,there will be a white envelope anyway on site here against----Messages.

I am also looking for grace emily Rugg. We have Joseph rugg's birth cert. his marriage cert to douglaseanie aymers, We know about her going to America. Rebbie would seem to be the first born.... no certificate. then Joseph was born to Joseph and Jessie and died a short time later we have those certificates (april may june 1892) then came grace emily seemingly born in 1894. The fact that a child born to both joseph and jessie between, rebbie and grace makes it unlikely that the girls were born across the pond as joseph was born here between them.

Thank you Janey, have been in contact with the cousin and she seem to think that is the right family you have found.
The family names seem to be the same.

Regards for the time you have taken a times i have been lost.

Margaret

This is Joseph's household with his parents in 1871

Samuel Rugg 61
Grace A Rugg 62
Amelia G Rugg 26
Samuel J Rugg 21
Joseph J Rugg 18
Rebecca A Rugg 17

As I noted, the names are very consistent.

Rebbie = Rebecca? or at least a variant of, anyway.

No birth to match that, either.

Ancestry Canadian passenger lists -- I don't subscribe


Emily Grace Rugg year date vessel Quebec, Quebec


I narrowed the year to 1882.

Other Ruggs arriving in Quebec in 1882:

Samuel
Mary Jane
Luellia
Alma L Ann
William
Thurza


Is that the record you were referring to -- *TO* Quebec?


It sounded like the other Ruggs weren't travelling with the Samuel and Grace, from what you said.

Leonard Lucas birth cert states Jessie Jones is the mother.

Douglaseanie Aymers went to America with her mother and father in 1882

Mgt

Aaargh, Mini, that again makes no sense!

Rebbie was a *sister* of Leonard/Lucas. Her child doesn't come into it!

The question was who Leonard/Lucas's mother is -- your cousin would need the birth certificate for that.

Jessie and Joseph were together in 1901 though so it seems likely.

Frankly, I suspect that both Rebbie and Grace were born on this side of the Atlantic, whether Canada or the US, don't know. Possibly Jessie was as well.

Mini, you said you know that Douglaseanie Aymers Rugg came to "America". By herself, for definite, or with Joseph? Do you know when?


By the way, just to note: a big stumbling block here is the absence of a complete 1890 US census ... when Joseph could have been in the US.

As far as i know, the only one who is not the mother is Nora, she is the illegitmate child to Rebbie. no father named for this person.

Mgt

Is Jessie the mother of Leonard as well as the younger ones as I note there is a 5 year age gap ?

But can you answer those questions about the passenger record?


Interesting in 1881

Name: Amelia G. Rugg
Age: 36
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1845
Relation: Daughter
Father's name: Samuel Rugg
Mother's name: Grace A. Rugg
Where born: Southampton, Hampshire, England
Occupation: Vest Maker(Tailor)

Civil parish: Portsea

Samuel Rugg 70
Grace A. Rugg 72
Amelia G. Rugg 36


The names certainly seem to run in the family.

Sorry if i am misleading you, i am looking this up for a cousin, who i have access to her tree on the ancestry site, she was looking for Grace Emily Rugg birth details and had come to a brick wall on it.
I wasn't sure if she had the birth details of the siblings born after Grace Emily Rugg, Found out she had got the birth cert for all the younger children and they had the mother as Jessie Jones.

Parents Samuel and Grace, brother Samuel.


Do you know the person who has corrected the place of birth at Ancestry? No indication of their connection is given.

So ... can you check your dates and such? You're not making it easy for us -- most things you give us are missing a crucial key piece of info!

"I have found a Samuel rugg who was on passenger lists from Quebec with an apprentice named Emily Grace! she is 12 yrs old in 1882 - was this an illegitimate child by Samuel and then taken on by Joseph and Jessie?????"

The Emily Grace we've been looking at here certainly wasn't born c1870 (12 years old in 1882).

Can you give full details when you post info? What is the date of that passenger list -- 1882? Travelling with Emily Grace what surname? Rugg?

Samuel born 1908 -- "Yes thats the one" -- very certainly wasn't travelling anywhere in 1882! and didn't have a child born 1870 ...

Yes thats the one.

Can you just confirm the dates there ? is this the son you have for Jessie and Jopseph

Births Jun 1908 (>99%)

Rugg Samuel William Aston 6d 332

EDIT just looked back at the 1911 and see he is on there

Sorry i never got back to you had to go off the site for a while.

Jessie Jones is the mother of the younger siblings to Grace Emily Rugg. Found out the birth certs have been already bought.

About Douglaseanie Amyers, we know she married Joseph James Rugg and have her family details.

Also Samuel Rugg b1908 details son to Jessie and Joseph Rugg
I have found a Samuel rugg who was on passenger lists from Quebec with an apprentice named Emily Grace! she is 12 yrs old in 1882 - was this an illegitimate child by Samuel and then taken on by Joseph and Jessie?????
Well this maybe another problem to solve.

Is this of any help


Margaret

Thanks again

Do you actually have the 1876 marriage certificate? There's something dreadfully wrong with the wife's name. ;)

Douglaseanie Aymers. The given name -- is that a real name?? And Aymers is unique to Gateshead, only a dozen records in the early index, mainly births in Gateshead in the 1840s and 1850s, including

Births Dec 1854
Aymers Ann Gateshead 10a 431

But aha, Scottish -- 1871:

Name: Douglasioua Aymers
Age: 14
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1857
Relation: Daughter
Father's name: Robert Aymers
Mother's name: Christy Aymers
Where born: Scotland

Civil parish: Loughborough

Robert Aymers 35
Christy Aymers 36
Douglasioua Aymers 14
Ann Janet Aymers 12
John Aymers 10
Duncan Mc J Aymers 6


1861 in Portree, Invernessshire, per Ancestry:

Robe A Aymett 25
Christy Aymett 26
Douglasina Aymett 4
Ann Aymett 2
John Aymett 6 MO
Euphemia McIntosh 15

just for the record. ;)

Do you know the person who has Douglaseanie in their tree here at GR? You do know what became of her I guess.

Nope i missed that Janey. sorry :-(

Thanks again for all you help, will check back for your help if i don't have any luck.

Thanks once more
Margaret xx :D
