I remember going into the hall where the eldest daughter was up a stepladder painting the walls blue as far as I remember.<br /><br />We were taken down into the basement kitchen and there was a long corridor which the boys of the house were using as an impromptu cricket pitch!<br />Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09828178510180204318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705771450596300887.post-4150360663656500302018-02-12T00:16:13.968+00:002018-02-12T00:16:13.968+00:00Good Morning
My name is Janice Gregory and I wrote...Good Morning<br />My name is Janice Gregory and I wrote to you on 23rd June 2017 about Stephenstown House and the Fortescue family of which I am a member, I belong to a Historical Society and when I told them that I could go back to the 1016 they said that it is impossible to be correct,is there any way I can prove them wrong, is there baptism, wedding and death certificates to be found in whatever system there may be. I have my great,grandfathers baptism certificate his name was Henry Norman Anstruther Ebrington Fortescue[he was born in Meerut India out of wedlock] his father was Major Frederick Richard Norman Fortescue , deemed the son of Matthew Fortescue and his wife Catherine was baptised on the 1st August 1823. I live in Sydney Australia.<br />Hoping you can give me some advice<br />Janice gregoryAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11143107210595934664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705771450596300887.post-37765645698151847202017-11-29T01:08:59.694+00:002017-11-29T01:08:59.694+00:00Hi Janice.

Major F.R.N.Fortescue was my G.G.Grandfather, he had two children out oif wedlock to a Elizabeth Albertina Quinn in India .One being my G.Grandfather Henry Norman Anstruther Ebrington Fortescue who was born in Meerut in 1851 and a daughter Florence Eglantine Fortescue born in Agra in 1854,after her birth FRN and Elizabeth parted and he married Maria Jane Garstin and had Matthew and Kathleen.We do not know what happened to Florence she could have died,but Elizabeth married a soldier called Turner. My husband and I have been to Meerut and found FRN Fortescue's grave, and we have also visited Matthews grave in Knockbridge. Henry is buried in Rookwood Cemetery, Sydney he died in 1896 at age 46 Hope you find this interesting,but that line of Fortescues is alive and well in Sydney Australia Regards Janice GregoryAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11143107210595934664noreply@blogger.com
