    Hello,
    I am related to Gov Stephen Paynter, his daughter was Patience Paynter born in Warwick Bermuda 1611 til 1691. Her daughter Patience Bullock (1640) and her granddaughter Patience Tatem (1667) all died in 1691. I am wondering if you can help me find out why they all died in the same year?

    Many Thanks!

      It may be a coincidence that Bermuda was impacted the year after your relatives’ deaths by a yellow fever epidemic when 767 people died between June and October of 1692 (1 out of every 8 residents). Unfortunately, I do not have definitive proof that there were yellow fever deaths earlier than the suspected accidental importation of disease-bearing mosquitoes and/or arrival of a sick sailor from the Caribbean in June 1692. (Jarvis, Michael J. In the Eye of All Trade: Bermudians, and the Maritime Atlantic World, 1680-1783.

    I posted a query a few years ago but as I am still drawing a blank from searches elsewhere am repeating it in case anyone may have some information please.

    I am trying to find information on James Ebenezer Swan who was born about 1856 in Bermuda the son of James Swan and ?. By 1886 he had moved to the UK and became my late wife’s great grandmother’s second husband, following the death of my wife’s great grandfather.
    He died in Aston, Birmingham 28 July 1925.
    Any information regarding his family history before moving to the UK would be much appreciated.

    Hi, I am trying to see if my great grandfather, Sandy Bean (b 1793) has ancestors from Bermuda or may have actually been born in Bermuda. I am related by DNA to Jolene Bean.
    The earliest US census list Sandy Bean as being born in North Carolina. He ended up in Indian Territory, now Oklahoma, and married Rachel Adair.

    Hi,
    My 3GG was Ambrose Gosling, born in Westminster, England in 1787 and died in Paget in 1857. It appears he was buried in Saint Paul’s Church Cemetery in Paget.

    in 1819 he married Ann Arabella Croydon Hinson and went on to have 8 children.

    Outside of these basic facts, I don’t know much about him and wondered if you could be of help.

    Best Regards,
    Rowland Gosling
