  • John hooper franklin 1824-1896

    Is it possible for someone to check passenger records for the above name migrating to America.
    He was born in Seend, Wiltshire in 1824, had a son George Franklin born in 1855 in Seend, Wiltshire, then all I have is that he died in Newark, Ohio at the age of 72 on the 19th Feb 1896.No wife's details at all and do not know any travelling details, any help please, thanks

    This is the birth registration for George from the GRO Index

    FRANKLIN, GEORGE mmn RAWLINGS
    GRO Reference: 1855 M Quarter in MELKSHAM Volume 05A Page 107

    This is the only marriage I can find for a Franklin / Rawlings in the area ........ but is it YOUR John, as this one has no middle name!

    Marriages Dec 1844 (>99%)

    FRANKLIN John Melksham 8 641
    RAWLINGS Susanna Melksham 8 641


    There must be more children, and you would have to check the censuses to see if this is indeed your John.

    There are several Public Family Trees on ancestry that have John Hooper Franklin, but they all seem to be one horrendous mess, with all sorts of mixed up records.

        from FMP, Newspapers

        John Hooper's marriage in Ohio on the 3rd of May 1849 (ult. meaning the previous month)

        4 June 1849 - Aris's Birmingham Gazette - Birmingham

        MARRIED.—On the 3d ult., at Trinity Church, Newark, Ohio, Mr. John Hooper Franklin, son of Edward Franklin, Esq., banker, to Elizabeth Spurrier, youngest daughter of the late John Heeley, Esq., formerly of Walsall



        I wonder if these two are John Hooper's father and grandfather or uncle (his mother was called Mary Hooper). They are bankers .........

            His grave site is on Find A Grave,




            and underneath the photo is this .........

            Photo
            Elizabeth Heeley Franklin
            1824–1915



            with the following ..

            Dau: of John & Hannah(Spurrier)Heeley


            Children of John H and Elizabeth ...

            Photo
            Mary Franklin Thomas
            1851–1932



            The photo for Mary is a copy of the newspaper obituary, in which it says she is the last of her generation.

            There are a number of other Franklin graves in that cemetery

            and Edward S Franklin born 1853 died 1921, no further information, but ?? he was the son of John H and Elizabeth

            John Heeley Franklin born 1856 died 1901




            In view of the way that Elizabeth's parents were shown, I suspect she was born before the marriage of her mother to her father.

              Elizabeth Spurrier Heeley was baptised 09 Feb 1825 Saint Matthew,Walsall, Staffordshire

              Daughter of John Heeley and Hannah Spurrier

              John and Hannah married in 1807

              so my suggestion in the previous post was wrong!



              I don't see how George born 1855 in Seend Wiltshire can also be John Hooper Franklin's child!
