  • George Nedd

    I need some new eyes to help me please.
    On the 1891 census I have George Nedd married to Dora living in Ipswich. It says Dora was born in Nassau New Province and George was born in Probus Cornwall. However Dora is the one born in Cornwall. Am I to assume George was born in Nassau and if so how do I find anything about him. I have never come across this before and would appreciate help
    Thank you
    Ann

    There is a crew list from 1888 giving his birthplace as Ipswich.



    His occupation in 1891 is able seaman

      There is a George Nedd b. BWI father of Joseph Nedd who died in New York in 1942. It gives their ethnic state as black, so would this link into your man.
      There are Caribbean records available on familysearch.

        FMP has a death at sea in 1893, age and place of birth are blank, but abode is Ipswich.

        Familysearch has Bahamas Civil Registration from 1850 and there are a couple of index entries for George Nedd/Ned, although details don't match your man. Worth pursuing though with a name that rare.

            So Dora Miners was a servant in Ipswich in 1881, her birthplace is again Probus Cornwall



            I think I would just do a bit more checking around the marriage in Ipswich and look for him there too. Battery is running out on computer and cannot recharge at the moment, so will have to stop there.

                Hello Bubblebelle
                What you have found fits in for me, thank you. Still do not understand the Nassau bit when he is saying Ipswich on other things. Cannot find a birth for Ipswich
                Regards Ann

                  Hello Ann,
                  I havent been able to find the 1891 census record on FMP to which you refer in post 1 (don't currently have an ancestry sub) to see if your George was a seaman, but following on from Bubblebelle's posts this may be of interest - There is a newspaper report from 1888 on FMP - short snip here but if you want the full report, PM me with your email and I can forward it to you.
                  VIOLENT ASSAULT ON CAPTAIN. At Seaham Harbour Police Court, last evening, George Nedd, a black man, was charged by Thomas Brown, master of the schooner Queen, of Woodbridge, with assaulting him.—The master said some words took place in the cabin at breakfast....

                    Hi Ann,

                    The image is quite blurred, but the ship was the Admiral and the entry says "supposed drowning 18.11.93". I think that getting the marriage certificate that BB found would be a good idea as you would find out his father's name and occupation (assuming he knew it). I don't think there are an images of Ipswich parish registers online, unless someone else knows differently.

                    I'd also agree that there's a good change George and Dora's places of birth are transposed on the 1891 census. The name Nedd does seem quite common in the Caribbean, so he may well have been born in Nassau. There's a site for the National Archives of the Bahamas which has some useful information.....http://www.bahamasnationalarchives.b...ly_History.htm

                      He was a boatswain according to the drowning at sea record and an Able Seaman on the 1891. His son, also George Alexander, seems to have a history of getting into trouble too - there are numerous criminal and military records !!

                            :-) Sorry.

                            10 major offences, 4 minor ones. Mainly housebreaking & theft. Discharged from the Tank Corps forfeiting all service due to his conduct. If you can't find him in 1911, he was sentenced to 3 years in 1910.

                              I was just about to post re George jnrs nefarious activities - there's quite a rap sheet! - but Rick has beaten me to it...
                              l've received your PM so just let me know if you want me to send you the criminal and army attestation records too. Off out now, but will send when I get back home...

                              Info on one of them pretty much confirms that his mother's maiden name was Miners as mentioned in an earlier post by BB - George Miners is one of his aliases.

                                      Do you have/want info for the family going forward? If so, here's the widowed Dora and family in 1901. William C could have been a posthumous birth after the Nov 1893 death at sea of George senior, but what about youngest son, Walter C? What odds on the lodger as his real father? Although you'll more than likely never get to know for certain.....

                                        I am just coming back to this. So if the Joseph who died in the US in 1942 is the son of your George Nedd, did he have a woman in every port?
