Hi all I just posted some pics of Strabane and also added some pics of

Hello all,

The following was sent to me as Moderator of this Group.  I have had
a look myself for any records of CALVERT - STURGEON marriages, but
without success.  So, does anyone here know of one?

Regards,

George.



HI THERE!  I FOUND YOUR WEBSITE THRU A CONNECTING WEBSITE THAT WAS
SENT TO MY BY SOMEONE WHO CONTACTED ME ABOUT THE "STURGEON" SURNAME
IN MY FAMILY TREE.  MY STURGEON--ELIZABETH STURGEON'S MOM WAS A
CALVERT, BUT WE DON'T KNOW HER FIRST NAME OR HER PARENTS NAME.  WE
REALLY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HER FAMILY AT ALL.  I WAS WONDERING
IF YOU WOULD HAVE ANY RECORD OF A CALVERT WHO MARRIED A STURGEON
APPROX 1880.  SHE (?CALVERT) DID PASS AWAY WHEN MY GREAT GRAMMA
(LIZZIE STURGEON) WAS YOUNG AND HER HUSBAND DID REMARRY MARY MCMURRAN
AND HAD SOME MORE CHILDREN WITH MARY.  IF YOU HAVE ANY INFO AT ALL OR
KNOW OF SOMEONE WHO COULD HELP ME OUT THAT WOULD BE GREAT.  I HAVE
ATTACHED THE LITTLE INFORMATION THAT I DO HAVE AND ALSO THE LINK FOR
MY WEBSITE:   http://cherylsteffler.tribalpages.com
I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU!!

ENJOY YOUR DAY!!
    CHERYL (BIGGART) STEFFLER

***************************************

  DAVID STURGEON (SON OF WILLIAM STURGEON & ANNE/SUSAN DOAK) was born
1855 in Ireland. He married  unknown CALVERT.
Child of DAVID STURGEON and unknown CALVERT is:

ELIZABETH  STURGEON, born Nov 13, 1883 in Balinagarrick, near Lurgan,
County Armagh, N.Ireland; died Jan 04, 1959 in Toronto.

Hi, I am excited because I am going to Strabane on 19 June 2007.  If
anyone knows anyone I ought to look up, let me know.  I cannot promise
I will get the time as I will only be there for 2 days but I shall do
my best.

Will take some pics to put one here.
Regards, Jim

Hi new members!  Sorry this is a little late coming, but this club is
not as active as it might be, but it does exist as a way of putting
Name and Location together maybe to provide some links - a sort of
message in a bottle!

Why don't you tell us a little about what you are researching, after
all that's how we link up and stumble upon coincidences.

Happy St. Patricks day for when it comes along!
Regards, Jim

Hello.  My wife, Barbara Calvert, has just unearthered some
information about her Calvert lineage and I was trying to help her
out with trying to trace her ancestory (I know nothing about how to
do this).  We have a list of names starting with David Calvert born
in Bleary, COunty Down on May 23, 1841.  I was wondering if anyone
had any suggestions for us.

Thank you so much for considering my request

Paul Hewitt

Hi all,

This group isn't intended to be very active, more a place where
people researching Irish CALVERTs can perhaps make contact to share
information if their research indicates they have links.

However, without some activity, the group is likely to be deleted
unless members decide to use it occasionally.

Regards,

George.

Hi everyone,

I have just uploaded two files containing birth and marriage records
in the Files Section.

As I changed the name of the folder immediately after a notification
was sent, the link in the notification will not work.  Sorry about
that.   You can find the files by signing into Yahoo and visiting the
Group, or the following links should work.

Ever helpful and in no way money-grubbing, Yahoo are introducing yet more

  date of these changes to August 21, 2003.

  To continue offering you a high quality, free service, Yahoo! Groups is
making
  the following changes:

  Message Attachments:
  Email attachments will no longer be archived in the Messages area, although
  Yahoo! Groups will continue to deliver attachments sent by email.  On August
  21st, all attachments in the Messages area will be removed, and Yahoo! will
be
  unable to retrieve the data. Please note: All of your group messages will
  remain. Only the attachments will be deleted.

  Before August 21st, if you want to preserve them, you must move your old
  message attachments. To do so, go to the Messages area and click on "Expand

download
  them easily. Then you can upload them to the Files and Photos areas in your
  groups. The Files and Photos features will allow you to better organize your
  email attachments.


  Files and Photos:
  You will now need a web membership to access a group's Files and Photos

  To make sure you have web memberships to all of your groups, please visit
this
  page: http://groups.yahoo.com/memwiz


  Add Members:
  Although there is no membership limit for your group, we are changing the Add

you
  wish.

  For more details on the service changes described above, please visit our

Hi George,

Since we discovered that an August WEIDANZ sponsored my Great Aunt Vera
CALVERT in entering the USA via Ellis Island, I found a WEIDANZ via a member
search of AOL.  He said he was related to August WEIDANZ and that he had some
genealogical information about the CALVERT's in the USA.  Unfortunatly he has
not yet replied with the information.  If YOU are a WEIDANZ and are connected
to the CALVERT clan, please get in touch.
Regards, Jim

Greetings, I think I got the information about the Calverts coming
from Belgium from a lady in the US of A who uses the name "Lady
Baltimore." He husband was head of the "Dove and Ark" association.
They were the names of the ships the original settlers arrived in.
Fraser is correct in his account, I packed up my information many
months ago in anticipation of changing home, but have not so far
decided to sell my unit.

Tom, I read your posting with some interest. You state "The name was
originally Belgian and was in fact Calluart. The family was related
to Belgian royalty, so the coat of arms has two leopards on it."

As I am studying the derivation of CALVERT, I am interested in your
sources of the Belgian CALLUART source.

You may like to look at this site>
http://hometown.aol.com/raven2094/page/sline.htm which gives some
background on CALLUART and CALVERT. Last week I went further on
the "Wills in the York Registry Office" than mentioned in that
website and found some even earlier ones with James CALVERD (deriv
CALVERT) from Moremunkton  leaving a will dated Oct 28 1461 also a
William CALVERD from Redehouse (bur Nonmonkton) dated June 2nd 1430.
If that wasn't exciting enough, I also studied the Yorkshire Lay
subsidy of 1301 and found De Ricardo Cal(f)hyrde in "Rychemunde" and
Elena CALFHURD in "Bothum". I don't think I can take CALVERT's back
any further than that, although there is a little info that I can
still refer to yet and I am also stdying the Domesday books (1086).

Back to CALLUART- I would be interested in what you have there so I
can investigate that also.

Irish CALVERT's may be interested(if you haven't found it already in
this site which has some Irish CALVERT's listed
http://hometown.aol.com/raven2094/page/sline.htm.
Regards

Fraser Calvert

   Hi fiona and Tom,

   Probably the reason the picture did not attach is that the group
   settings do not permit attachments to email.  This is both to prevent
   the speread of viruses and to prevent 'spammers' attaching p*orn etc.
   Members can add pictures in the Photos section.

   I have added a file showing the royal descent of the Baltimore
   CALVERTs and the two coats of arms (minus crests) that I am aware
   of.  If any member has items they wish to post in the photo section
   or in the files and they have any difficulty, they can always send
   the item to me by email and I will upload them.

   I have read a little about George and Leonard CALVERT some time ago,
   but unfortunately, do not have much to hand at present.

   I think Tom may mean that George CALVERT worked for James I, since
   George CALVERT was Secretary of State for Ireland in 1608, and died
   in 1623, thirty seven years before Charles II came to the Throne.

   I understand there was a 'CALVERT Penny',which nearly cost its minter
   his head, since the Governers of Maryland were suzerain and not
   Sovereign.

   The CALVERTs seem to have been at loggerheads with the PENNs from the
   inception of the colony of Pennsylvania, since the boundaries were
   not clearly defined.  In 1763, Mason and Dixon were commissioned to
   resolve the 80-year old dispute by laying stone markers indicating
   the boundary which came to be known as the Mason-Dixon Line.  On the
   south side the stones bear the arms of CALVERT and on the north and
   east side, they bear the arms of PENN.

   My readings suggest that George CALVERT was a Protestant and Member
   of Parliament for Cambridge University at the time he became the
   Secretary of State. He subsequently converted to Catholicism about
   the time that he was created Baron of Baltimore.  It may be that his
   Catholicism prevented him from holding Government office, so sending
   him to the House of Lords was a useful way to vacate his seat in the
   Commons.


   Regards to all,

   George.

     Greetings, I have been reading with interest the messages about the
     origins of the Calvert name. The name was originally Belgian and was
     in fact Calluart. The family was related to Belgian royalty, so the
     coat of arms has two leopards on it. The family were weavers and
     move to Kipling in Yorkshire for the wool. George Calvert was
     educated at Oxford University and spoke Spanish and Italian. He
     worked for Charles II and for his service was created Baron
     Baltimore. Not Baltimore in the south of Ireland, but in County
     Longford where he was granted a large estate. Sir George, or Lord
     Baltimore, was given a charter to found Avalon in Newfoundland, but
     the weather was inclemant so he went on to found Maryland (after the
     Kings wife) capital Baltimore. The Calverts moved between Yorkshire,
     London, Maryland and Ireland. George Calvert even had his own
     currency minted. Calverts settled in the north of Ireland and
     married with prominant families. Some allegedly went with William
     Penn to found Pennsylvanis, but inquiries with the Society of
     Friends only obtained the names of a few Calvert Quakers.
     I have been trying to put the coat of arms in the photo section, but

   Greetings, I have been reading with interest the messages about the
   origins of the Calvert name. The name was originally Belgian and was
   in fact Calluart. The family was related to Belgian royalty, so the
   coat of arms has two leopards on it. The family were weavers and
   move to Kipling in Yorkshire for the wool. George Calvert was
   educated at Oxford University and spoke Spanish and Italian. He
   worked for Charles II and for his service was created Baron
   Baltimore. Not Baltimore in the south of Ireland, but in County
   Longford where he was granted a large estate. Sir George, or Lord
   Baltimore, was given a charter to found Avalon in Newfoundland, but
   the weather was inclemant so he went on to found Maryland (after the
   Kings wife) capital Baltimore. The Calverts moved between Yorkshire,
   London, Maryland and Ireland. George Calvert even had his own
   currency minted. Calverts settled in the north of Ireland and
   married with prominant families. Some allegedly went with William
   Penn to found Pennsylvanis, but inquiries with the Society of
   Friends only obtained the names of a few Calvert Quakers.
   I have been trying to put the coat of arms in the photo section, but
   have had little success so far. I will try again.

Hi George, I confess I haven't done much work on Irish CALVERT's in
particular, however when I was studying migration patterns especially
in Yorkshire, I found that there seemed to be a lot of immigration
into yorkshire East Coast from Europe and again out the west coast of
England to Ireland. No doubt the CALVERT's may have been caught up in
that and a line developed leading to all your interests. I am going
through my historical Yorkshire stuff tonight to see if I could find
the information and will let you know if I can pin down the CALVERT
immigration into Ireland date/reason.
Ps I have some other nagging memories of reasons but until I can
prove them to you, I won't mention them. One of my challenges, is
that I have accumulated so much information after reading books etc
the first time but not yet fully catalogued it, so it takes me time
to find it again! My book that I am writing is teaching me some more
discipline in that I have to find a logical progression in the
CALVERT story.
Regards

Hi Fraser,

Welcome and thank you for your interesting introductory posting.  I think
everybody on this list would be interested in any information you have; in
particular relating to CALVERTs in Ireland.

I understand the name CALVERT is very common in Ulster, yet as you point out,
its origin seems to be in Yorkshire.  Would you have any information on why
the name is common in Ulster?  Did many CALVERTs go to Ulster at the time of
the Plantations, or were they just particularly fecund?

Looking forward to further postings,

Regards,

George.

Hello,fellow CALVERTS.
Please allow me to introduce my self.
I have been monitoring (lurking!) this forum and the CALVERT Genforum
for a few years now and have decided to come into the open.

I am registered with the Guild of One Name studies UK (GOONS)for the
name CALVERT.I have been studying all CALVERTS in all countries and
all dates. My ultimate goal is writing a book on CALVERT (I have just
received my copies of the few CALVERT books written e.g."Descendants
of Virginia Calverts" by Ella Foy O'Gorman in 1947 and "My Calvert
Ancestry and Extended Family" by Louise Naughton Shaw 1996)and so far
I have accumulated 21 ring binders of CALVERT info worldwide
including the name derivatives.

Recently I answered an enquiry on the CALVERT Genforum for which may
give you some CALVERT info you may not have known(following  is
verbatum)>

Angie asked: Is there a connection between CALVER and CALVERT?

The answer is no, unfortunately for you, although the names are
similar.

CALVERT derives from Yorkshire, an occupational name for a tender of
cattle. It is from Middle English "calfhirde" and old English
(Anglian)"calf+herde" Calf=CALF,herde=herdsman. I am currently
tracing calfhirde's in the 1300's but the originator seems to be
Waren le Calfhirde around 1269 and the name CALVERT appears much
later around the 1300/1400'S.My own studies are pointing to a
location derivation in Yorkshire, Nth Riding- Dales, probably the
Swaledale area but I am using CALVERT population studies and early
tax records etc to pinpoint the actual area of origination.

CALVER derives from Derbyshire, a habitation name from Old English
Calf= CALF + ofer= ridge. Origination appears to be from David de
Caluenore/Caluoure around 1200 and turns into CALVER much later in
1600/1700's.

I searched on my 1881 UK census CD's and they returned many CALVER's
amongst CALVERT's in the 1800's (grouped on the database together,
because the names are similar spelling). the US 1880 census, likewise.

Where to start?
Well, it depends on how deep you want to go.I started a few years
ago, actually looking at this particular forum and ended up knee deep
in CALVERT's spending every night almost, reading/studying CALVERT,
compiling an access database of CALVERT (including all CALVERT
Genforum listings, searchable by all fields/names) looking at the UK
1881/US 1880 census and so on. If you want to keep it to your own
CALVER line then start working back from your current relatives. My
CALVERT direct line goes back to the 1500's in Yorkshire. In your
case the 1880 US census would be a good help. If you really want to
bog down in data, then consider starting a One name study and look at
the Guild of one name studies at www.one-name.org and maybe join.
CALVER is not registered at this time and I am keeping a watching
brief on CALVERD, CALVARD and CALVERLEY.

I hope this points you in the right direction, I was once where you
are now!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I am also searching Irish CALVERT's and so my interest in this club.I
will continue to monitor it and if I can be of assistance-please ask.
I may not be able to  give an answer straight away but will try to
help.
