I wonder if anyone will be interested... I hope so, but I am doubtful that anyone ever thought there might be anything more to the story of Sophia Vincent, the woman who was married off to William Jervis Ricketts, a certified Mad Man.
Sophia was the daughter of Mary Clarges and George Norborne Vincent.
Mary Clarges was the daughter of Sir Thomas Clarges, and it's worth a read up on him in the history books, especially if youre wondering where the surname Monck came from.
George Norborne Vincent, Sophia's father, was the First Gentleman Usher to Queen Charlotte, the wife of the Mad King, George III. (the man who tasted her food).
Both of Sophia's grandfathers were also well connected - although Philip Vincent died 4 years previously, he was named as the father of George Norborne Vincent b 1751. Oddly, Norborne Berkeley, a reputed womanizer paid his fees to Eton. Philip had been a Captain in the Royal Navy and is also mentioned in the history books.
I am happy to share what I have on Sophia and George Vincent to anyone who asks. I am yet to discover any interested descendant, which I think is a real shame.
kind regards to whoever reads this.

MIGUEL ANGEL SOL is my 12 x great-grandfather. Born in Puerto Rico c1500 have you have any idea how he ended up in England? It's been one of our biggest family riddles since we added him to our tree.
Roberta Ralph Eedes was my Grandfather. Lovely photos! Melissa Atwood daughter of Suzi Eedes daughter of Annie Pickering & Robert Ralph Eedes
Hi, I have just started investigating my family tree and I have discovered my 3Great-grandfather paternally was Thomas Goldney (1759-1856) who died at Clifton House, Clifton, Bristol. I note that you have his parents correct, but I may have found some additional info. If you would like me to share what I have found through Census records, etc for further back on that side, just email me.

Dear Phil,
Thank you for this amazingly detailed family tree. It is such a wonderful gift to future generations hoping to discover more about their ancestry.
I am wondering if I can speak to Rose Reilly about her work on the Ferrari family in Albareto, Parma, Italy. My great great grandfather, Giovanni Ferrari, was likely born to Elisabetta Figoni and Giovanni Ferrari (he and his brother, Antonio, later immigrated to California).
I am wondering where Rose found her information so I can do some digging myself, hopefully to find Giovanni's date of birth. If my suspicion is correct, I am very happy to add the US lineage to this tree 🙂
Best,
Carly

Hi,
In searching for my ancestors, in this particular instance the Vivian family I have come across your website. Please may I congratulate you on this.
It was interesting to see that the previous entry in your guest book was from Theresa Vincent. My mother's maiden name is Vincent and a direct descendant from the Vivians.
Thanks and take care
John

Hello, William Vincent 158159, Lydia Williams and Albert Sidney Vincent are my great, great grandfather and great grandfather etc. I have photos of William as a shepherd and also of Albert if you would like them. We therefore must be related if we go back far enough! I’ve been doing the family tree for years, but like how you’ve set yours up. Thanks for sharing.
I see that my grandfather Harry Kendall is mentioned on your website (1855-1895). I have quite a bit of information about him if it is of interest. He died in 1895 in Bisley (Surrey) while taking part in a shooting competition (volunteer soldier). My father was born in 1890 (died 1970) and I was born in 1945. I have some transcripts of newspapers articles about Harry's death among other things.
Kind regards

Hi, I think May Isaacson (ID I80987) was a daughter of my great grandfather Sam. Would love to know if you have any other information about Sam as I've been researching him for a while and struggling to find out much about where he came from and who his family were!
Hi there, the Edward H Thrum(ID 198734) in your tree just happens to be my 2nd great grandfather on my grand mothers side of the family. I hope that the information I forwarded to you is of some help.
Kind regards

Hello again!
I did not know how to reply to your reply to original post I made yesterday.
That sounds a terribly complicated relationship! Yes it appears George Harris and Emily Burfitt are my great great Grandparents. My sister has been working on our family tree for a while now, as new information into our family has come to light. We have never known our greater family on this side of the tree until very recently. ( I only ever knew one set of grandparents) We still have a lot to find out.
Thanks for your reply.
Naomi

Hello!
I googled lost relatives of mine and came onto your website where you have an extensive Rattenbury family tree, (Alice and Edward would be my great grandparents) how are they connected to your family?

I have an old photo and info re Frederick Daniel Bartley 1880, would you like a copy? If so how can I upload it?
Hi Phil
You have part of my family through marriage listed within your family tree, how are you related? You have Max as one of the children to Marion and George, we have no record of this person. Both Marion and George are now deceased. What is your source for Max , is it definitely correct? https://williamsfamilytree.uk/tree/getperson.php?personID=I34689&tree=wft
Thanks so much

Hi Phil,
You have Thomas Hawkes in your family history on here. He was my Great Grandfather. How is he related to you. Obviously we must be distant related too.
Would be wonderful if you could reply back to me with information. I have been studying my family history for 20 yrs on and off.
Kind Regards

My parents Serge & Ann seem to be on your family tree but this is a mistake as we are not related. Please remove them. Thanks.
