    Default Blacksmiths in Weymouth Eng. ?

    Hi, I am told my Great ...Grandfather, Samuel Royal, learned to become a Blacksmith while growing up in Weymouth as a young man. He emmigrated to the US around the age of 16 or so ( was born in 1841) Can anyone tell me where he might have learned his trade ?

    Hi
    Possible that he learned from his Father or an Uncle someone in the Family.
    Not allways but most of the time this is an occupation that was handed down through the Family.

    So far I have John Royal from USA marring Lettica Harris 1 Jan 1826 Wyke Regis, Dorset, John is a Baker.
    They have children


    Lettice Royal (1827-1882) Not married
    Margaret Royal (1830-) Marry to Thomas Samual Wallis (m1852)
    Henry Thomas Royal (1833-)
    John Royal (1835-) 1 week inprisonment + Whipped for Larceny 1849
    Thomas Royal (1837-)
    William Robert Royal (1839-) marry to Emily Bartlett (m1862)
    Samuel Royal (1841-) Went to America (Your one)
    Joseph Harris Royal (1844-) marry to Eliza Symes (m1869)

    Did Henry Thomas 1833, John 1835 & Thomas 1837 go to America with Samuel
    they are the only ones I cant find on the Census after 1851.

    I have seen some of that other info too Sandy. I had been told some of the men emigrated to Australia and BC in Canada. Other than that...they just seem to have gone POOF !
