Hello Sneath family in England. The story I am about to tell you may help me find my ancestor.
I do not have a precise d.o.b. all I know is that (Julius) Mark Sneath was from London, probably born around early 1800's and that his family to discipline him made him join the Royal Navy and when the school -ship anchored in the coast of Tabasco, Mexico, Mark Sneath abandoned the ship and all he took with him was the English family bible. He married a native from Tabasco and changed his name to ? Marquez Hernandez. I understand from his great grandson Benito Hernandez Marquez that there was a British Consul that visited 1957-1961) Ciudad del Carmen, Campeche, Mexico, looking for relatives of this English man but the relatives were afraid to come forward.
This is a fascinating story that I would love to verify and would appreciate any input from you out there who would like to share your side of the story. the Family bible got destroyed in a fire somewhere in the state of Tabasco during some turmoil years.
Thank you.
