  • Another try at finding Ariels.

    ***Merry....you probably want to run now***


    I'm trying to tie up some loose ends. If you've had a go at this before, please just leave it, as it will do your head in ( I know).


    Three siblings

    Agatha Ariel born 1822 Bristol. Married Edward Clark 1839 Bristol. Six children by 1846. Divorced 1845/6. Edward has all six children. Agatha not seen again. This one has been extensively searched by many, so not really expecting an outcome....just added her to the list.

    Myles Kirbky Eyre Ariel born Bristol 1819. Married Emily Mary Ann Weaver 1848 Bath. Came to Australia in 1853 with two children (another born on board ship). They came to Victoria and Emily and children went on to Sydney. I think Myles must have stayed in Victoria as he is not on ship to Sydney. They had vast business interests all over the place.
    The youngest child baptised 1855 Sydney. Myles recorded as father, but nothing to indicate wheteher he is dead or alive.
    Emily remarried as a widow in 1863. Myles could have been "declared dead".

    Mary Eyre Ariel born 1834. Her mother died 1837 and her father remarried 1839. She is with her stepmother, Lucretia and then by herself until 1891 census. I cannot find her after 1891. Have trawled for marriage and death till 1934.

    I've searched all the usual places and don't think there is any connection between the three going missing, but it is annoying.

    If anyone has any ideas, I'd be grateful.

    I am convinced, having looked extensively some time ago that Agatha was beamed up somewhere.

    Agatha Ariel - its one of the names that stay with me, and haunt me!

    Agatha's mother wasn't called Eleanor was she???

        Libby, it could just be that her (Mary Eyre Ariel's) death is one of those that didn't make it to the GRO indexes. Would she be likely to have left a will, do you think?

            I think she would have left a will, but I can't work out how to check without knowing when she died.

              Well, if it was one of my rellies I would go to my local record office (after the school holidays!) and trawl through the National Probate Calendar microfiches to see if there was an entry, but obviously that won't work for you! Do the LDS Family History Centres in Australia have the National Probate Calendar?

                  Last time I was there, they didn't have them. Maybe it's something they are getting.

                    This is a bit thin, but is it possible Mary went to Australia?

                    You could pay for a will search, I think they do ten years at a time, so you might have to have three goes. She could easily have been over 100 when she died.

                      Their mother was Elizabeth Naylor....father Myles Ariel. Myles later married Lucretia Clark 1839 and then died 1840.

                          I think they only do 5 years at a time for the will search, so it could work out pretty expensive and of course it could turn out there is no entry after all.

                            Oh, sorry, for some reason I thought it was five years either side of a possible death date. Scrap that then!

                              Is Myles Ariel Beale connected with your Myles? He was in British Columbia in 1898.

                                Yes Mary....he is a second cousin of the missing Myles. The names don't change much in this lot.

                                        They had vast business interests all over the place.
                                        Were they sold? Is it possible to trace who signed the documents?
