The research I have done thus far has been with the free sections of Ancestry, roots web and other sights. Because I am now running into road blocks in my search, I will likely be purchasing the Worldwide ancestry access. My email Address is rick@eagleguys.com I'll try to verify birthplaces further and pass on the information asap.

Does Jane's Father William help you at all?

Re: Jane Ardrey - christened 1816 - Tyrone Ireland

jananderson185 — 2012-03-28 01:31:20Z

yes they are. Can you let me know if you have some proof that "our Thomas" was from Great Ayton and that "our Jane" was from Tyrone Ireland? We realize that the birth dates for this Thomas & Jane match the years we are looking for but are still looking for some definitive documentation. My email address is jananderson@rogers.com. What is yours? We only have access to ancestry.com for another 2 days.

Thank you. Is is correct they were buried in the Aylmer Cemetery?

Re: Jane Ardrey - christened 1816 - Tyrone Ireland

jananderson185 — 2012-03-28 01:19:57Z

That is the correct death dates for Thomas and Jane and the correct places. The problem we are having is that we found a Thomas Lightfoot born in Great Ayton but have no documentation to prove that he was from there nor do we have any documents that state his birth date. We were thinking that was him but couldnt definately prove it. We found the same with Jane. What lead to this Thomas and Jane? My niece and I are working on this together, \i will find out where the book came from as well we can send you a picture of Thomas and Jane's grave.

Alexander Ardrey Slaves

t_ardrey82 — 2009-08-29 12:39:35Z

Hello,

My name is Tyshawn Ardrey and I'm researching the Ardrey family. I was always told growing up that we are part irish and black and saw it with my freckles on my hands. My rare reddish/brown skin which gives a indication that I'm mixed but everyone in my family looks like that. We are Black but we are strangely black. For example my brothers red hair and beard and my daughters rare red hairs that I find in her hair. My grandparents was black but very fair skinned. My grandmother told me she used to pass for white when necessary. Researching Ardrey, I run into a scottish/northern ireland type name.

Starting my family tree and why our family is the only Blacks with Ardrey it led me to Alexander Ardrey who received a slave girl name Meriah I believe. From that part in history to my family that I researched, I found out a few older folks in my family was labeled mulatto instead of negro. In the 1890 census they was written as Negro and then erased to Mulatto. Researching slave history is hard but I'm thinking Alexander Ardrey is a relative of mine.

Most of my family history are in the carolina's as well. I was wondering can anybody provide any assistance to this. I'm thinking this might be a Thomas Jefferson case.
