#1. Kersey:CMD:GET digest22.txt - from Marv Miller
Top
Date: Sat, 7 Mar 1998 10:17:25 -0800 From: Marv Miller <millerm@halcyon.com> Subject: Kersey:CMD:GET digest22.txt Hi folks-- Digest 22 is now available. If you would like a copy but aren't a digest subscriber, simply reply to this email without editing the subject line. Earlier digests are available by editing the two digit digest number to a value from 01 to 21. Remember one file per email request. The digest is a little short this week. Apparently I put an end to discussions when I suggested that new members should post their lines and old members should repost their lines. That suggestion was met with resounding silence. ;-) Remember all digests are available online at http://www.halcyon.com/millerm. Digest 22 online is another new format. Please compare Digest 22 with Digest 21 and let me know which format you like better. I would like to combine the two types but I haven't figured out how to do that yet. Cheers, Marv millerm@halcyon.com http://www.halcyon.com/millerm

I have looked for the longest time for my GG Grandfather George Madison Kersey as you know. He was b@1787 and said he was b. in VA (county unknown). Nothing I've tried has found his parents etc. This week a cousin of mine in OK came across a very old letter from another descendant of his and it mentions it was going to be very difficult for anyone to find his parents etc. "because even if he did say VA on the census he was born in England". That really set me back aways!!! If that is actually true and it could be, I need some help and advice on what to look for first or do, since I've never had to trace anyone outside the US. Maybe Hugh might have some suggestions. I'm completely confused. Any help would be great. Pat Henry EFPV77B@prodigy.com

Is it possible that I could somehow check passenger lists for a beginning? I've never done this before. This George Madison Kersey also used the surname Casey. I was confused about using the 2 surnames and you wrote me that you had just gotten details of an English family that used KERSEY in 1779, but the children used Casey, Keasey and Kersey. So I guess I would be looking at both Kersey and Casey if I tried to check passenger lists. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Pat Henry EFPV77B@prodigy.com

My full name is Edward James Kersey and I live in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. My Great Grandfather was George Ephraim Kersey(Kearsey) and he was born in Fingringhoe, Essex, England. He married Elizabeth Sadler and they had three sons and a daughter. Edward William Kersey was my Grandfather. He married Elizabeth Penny in London and my father Sydney Thomas was their only son. George Ephraim had several brothers and sisters. I have quite a bit of information about his older brother James Benjamin. I would be happy to hear of the other brothers and sisters. I believe their parents were James Kearsey(Casey) and Mary Wood and they were from Thorpe-le Soken, Essex. Thanks. Ted Kersey -------- E. J. Kersey ekersey@idirect.com

My English neighbors have told me about it and I have read about it too. If my memory serves me right, I believe it's east of London a ways. I don't know about the pottery making, but they did have years ago a woolen industry there. There was a cloth called Kersey cloth---a woven wool fabric. By what I understand it is a very pretty village. Pat

I have just seen lots of pictures on calenders! It was the place from which most English KERSEY's took their name, though not necessarily from where they came! There are other derivations of the KERSEY name in England such as GACY, CASEY and KEYSE (my families derivation). I will be going to London on Thursday, so will look up emmigration lists for CASEY. The church, St. Mary's is NOT a catholic church. The registers will be at Suffolk Record Office. Unfortunately the registers up to 1813 have not been transcribed and are not in the I.G.I.

About 300 different links about Kersey came up, and in those links was a Sullfolk Exchange List. I wrote the site down, but when I tryed to retrieve it by the address, it would't come up. So I typed in Kersey Links, and it came up. I found some notes of my Uncles that he gave me years ago. I will share them. First I found a tattered well read and worn note, ( this he must have gotten from England when he visited there). It had the Kersey name spelled in many variations. Instead of Casey, it has Carsey, Kearsey, Keresey, Kiersey, and Carsaye. He also has the name of Cress, which is suppose to mean Kersey ( Cress Island ) in Suffolk. Means anyone who came from Cress Island. He visited relatives there. So he said. ? Many of whom came through Ellis Island, either changed their names, or had them americanized. My Uncle Bill was adament about one Kersey being from Scottland, and told a very convincing story! Since England and Scottland are connected, it's possible!. Who am I to say, I 've neither been there, nor visted relatives there, he had been. There is an old map with an X on it, but no Cress Island! I did find Suffolk. It's between Norfolk, and Essex, looking at the map it is to the right of Cambridge. The X is located by somewhere named Ipswich. My Uncle is dead and can't explain any of it , and I can only guess at what it all means, and I hate to do that, so I won't! Will share it and maybe it makes sense to some. While you are in the Kersey links, read about Pomp Kersey. It's sad that the times would turn him into what he became! D. Buffum
