Hi,

I am researching my family tree and need your assistance. I have built up quite a good picture of what my family tree looks like but have drawn a few blanks if you have any information on the following people i would really appreciate your help.

Emily Arabella Thackeray b. 23/1/1827
Frederick Robert Thackeray b.26/10/1829 d. 29/11/1849
William John Thackeray b. 12/8/1833 d. 9/12/1833
Jane Mary Ann Thackeray b.13/12/1834
George James Thackeray b. 7/2/1840
Walter Henry Thackeray b.16/3/1845
Kathleen Thackeray b. 20/7/1847
Ernest John Thackeray b. 27/5/1882

These people are all descendants of the author WMT and to the best of my knowledge were all born in the UK. I need all the information i can get and welcome all suggestions on where to look for info.
Please help the world is not so big as you think :)
Thanks
Jamie

Surnames: Thackeray
Jamie,
I'm pretty sure that we are talking the same Thackeray family. George James Thackeray born 1840 married Selina Davis in 1873 and was my great grandfather, and Ernest John Thackeray born 1882 was my grandfather. Is your grandmother Margaret Harrison (Thackeray)? Her father Albert would be Ernest's brother. I think some of the other names on your list are George's brothers and sisters - the only one I know anything about is Jane who was a theatrical costumier and married a comic actor. They had four children and went to America. As far as I know their descendants are still there. Have you managed to trace a connection to William Makepeace? I haven't yet come across anyone who has so would be fascinated to see it! I know there was a Thomas Thackeray who was W M's great grandfather, and had several brothers and several sons. If you want to E-mail me on julia@mbott.freeserve.co.uk I can let you have more!

Sounds very unlikely to me, what's your evidence for saying that?

Agreed, I would say that the original post was a fantasy.
