John: Just searching through a message board and found your information about the combs family. I'd like to do this part of the family tree but don't know exactly how to start. How were the Combs related to James F. O'Connor & Anna T. McCavock? I believe Julea was a sister to one of them, but I don't know which. Can you help? Do have Julea's name spelled correctly and do you know when she died? Thanks so much for any info you can give me. Joyce O'Connor, Gardner, Kansas

This is part of the page.
Edward Coombes
Coombes does not appear in any trade directory until Mathews of 1793, although he was in business by 1778 (see below). The entry is "Edward Coombes, China Mender, Queen Street". Queen Street was in Castle Precincts, off Castle Street, and still exists. He is also listed in later editions, up to 1805. He paid rates on a property in Queen Street for 1785-1802, the entries for 1799-1802 record him as "poor" and no rates were paid for those years. There are no records of any rates paid in relation to later trade directory entries,

G'day Michael - I have come across a repaired blue and white plate in a Sydney, Australia auction with the same handwritten name and address (minus the china mender) dated 1787. Your posting tells me more than I know from this plate; so I can't help you any further except to fuel the mystery! If he was a mender rather than a maker, he wouldn't appear in any of the normal sources eg Godden. When I've time I might explore a bit more. Cheers, Gerry

Re: Sarah Knott and George Combes

Hello Pat,
Thanks for taking the time to look me up!

Just to make things more convenient for other researchers, could you possibly re-post your query/reply on the thread I started over on the Knott board? It might be useful to more people there as a Sussex/Knott entry rather than here as an Oxford/Combes post. The thread is "Knott family in Sussex" and the specific entry about the property docs is 11th Feb 2005 (not 2004). Meanwhile, if you let me know your email address, I would LOVE to get in contact with you to pool knowledge. Mine is baucellst(at)yahoo(dot)co(dot)uk.

This is in regard to reply you made 11 Feb 2004 sharing info on Knott - Soyton marriage 1767 in Sussex. I'm very interested in info about George Combes and Sarah Knott, my

COMBES or COMBS of Long Island NY

G_Veve — 2006-06-21 06:22:56Z

I am researching the COMBS or COMBES of Long Island NY. The area of the family I am researching was in Freeport, Hempstead, Rockville Center, Baldwin and Oceanside. Basically the entire south shore of Nassau County. However, one thing I noticed in the 1880 census for this area; it was then noted as Queens county, NY. But by the 1900 census, this area of Long Island was then noted as Nassau County, LI, NY.
I am trying to find the parental lines of Preston H. COMBES/COMBS. The family used to call him Uncle Bill. Uncle Bill was born in 19 Aug 1901 NY and died in Bristol, Grafton, NH in 17 June 1989. He haD two brothers that I knew of. One was Charles COMBES/COMBS who was a Bayman and live in Freeport. The other brother was Lawrence COMBS/ COMBES.
Uncle Bill (PRESTON) married Eleanor Charlotte REMICK of Bristol, NH about 1919 and they lived in Bristol, NH in 1920 census, where Eleanor was pregnant with their first child, Vira, born in 1920, NH. By the 1930 census, they are living in Merrick, LI, NY and now had a second child Richard born in 1921, NY. Richard married Lillian May SJOHOLM, of Hempstead, LI, and they lived in the Baldwin area of the south shore of Nassau county. And they had two children, Richard Jr. (aka; Dixie) and Karen. If anyone has information on the COMBS/ COMBES families of the south shore of Nassau County, NY please contact me at <gail_veve @yahoo.com> I have more info on this line if you are interested, but need info on the COMBES lineage. Thanks for any and all help Gail (REMICK) Veve

I should also add that my mum and sisters are also still in contact with their cousins, who were Arthur and Violet's daughter's Vera and Kathleen. I will present this all to them when I get to the UK as I should be seeing the whole family at my gran's funeral this week.

Re: Violet Alice COMBES née possibly Mann, (1886-1931)

2004-10-26 02:01:03Z

Sounds like all the information matches, Arthur Wiflrid Combes married Violet Alice Wheeler July 15, 1908 in St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in Bromley. Within a few years they moved to Putney and had two daughters Vera and Kathleen, then they moved to Mauritius and my grandfather Maurice James Combes was born on Aug. 20, 1915. They returned from Mauritius in 1925 and settled in Oxford. My great grandmother did die young, the date sounds right, I'll have to ask my mum, I'm actually headed to the UK tomorrow night for my grandmother's funeral. Maurice died Aug. 19, 2002. Maurice married Gladys Mary Draper on April 29, 1939 in Reading, and they settled in Headington (minus interruptions for WWII) They had three daughters, Susan Mary (Bone) now lives in Crouch End, London, born May 27, 1941, Christine Elizabeth (Swartz) now lives in the United States, born June 12, 1946 and Caroline Jane (Raine) now of Milton Keynes, born May 26, 1963. And six grandchildren (myself being one) and as of today 7 great grandchildren. We have very few photos of my grandad as a child, so any that you have would be appreciated. How are you related to us or how do you have photos etc.? I forgot to add that Arthur, my great-grandfather did remarry after Violet's death, and had more children, but I know very limited info about them. My mum and aunts know more.

Re: Violet Alice COMBES née possibly Mann, (1886-1931)

Re: Ruth & Carl Combs/ Combes

2003-10-26 01:12:02Z

Ruth Harriet Spicer Beacham Combs and Carl Combs were my grandparents. Ruth's maiden name was Spicer, but she was raised by the Beacham family of Phelps, NY. I believe she was born 19 Jan. 1905 in Ithaca, NY. She passed away in 1973. I have not been able to find out anything about her Spicer heritage- she did not talk about it. She considered herself a Beacham. I was not aware that she had any sisters. If I find out anything, I will let you know.

Descendants of Arthur Wilfrid COMBES, b Exeter, UK, 1883

2003-10-18 17:02:43Z

Looking for any info on descendants of Arthur who was the son of Henry James Wilfred COMBES and Jane MONNERY.

I am seeking possible connections with Maurice COMBES, b abt 1912 (I believe this may be his son).

Arthur is a greengrocer's assistant in 1901 in Exeter and is definitely still alive in 1928 as he is mentioned in his mother's will, dated that year.

He may have lived in Oxford in the 1930's, 40's and 50's.

Any clues would be very welcome.

Re: Combes, Violet Alice / Maurice

2003-10-18 16:51:24Z

I have recently discovered that Henry James COMBES and his wife Jane MONNERY had a son called Arthur Wilfrid COMBES.

He was born in Exeter, abt 1884 and was still alive in 1928 since he is mentioned in his mother's will.

He may be the father of Maurice and possibly the husband of Violet.

Any info about his descendants gratefully received.

Nina COMBES?

RitaDonCarlos987 — 2005-02-01 02:38:10Z

Seeking information on who the COMBES was that married Nina E. (PINCHBACK) TOOMER sometime after 1899?
Nina was the daughter of P.B.S. PINCHBACK and married to Nathan TOOMER first. They had a son, Nathan Eugene "Jean" TOOMER, the author and poet.
She later married a COMBES and the name COMBES is on her headstone. She died in 1909 and is buried in New Orleans, LA.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Rita

tbaucells — 2004-10-25 19:22:29Z

Hi,

Thanks for replying. I'm not absolutely certain we are talking about the same people thought the names seem to fit nicely. Was your great grandfather Arthur Wilfrid Combes? Did they live in Oxfordshire? Did Violet Alice die at 45?

If all these things tie up for you, please let me know. I would really like to find out about Maurice and his descendants, if he had any. If we have the right person, then I have photos of Maurice as a young man and possible photos of his parents and family that I cannot identify as such, but a direct descendant might well be able to by comparing them with their own albums.

Look forward to hearing from you

Violet Alice COMBES née possibly Mann, (1886-1931)

tbaucells — 2004-02-16 16:45:57Z

Violet Combes (married name - maiden name unsure) was very probably married to Arthur Wilfred Combes and they lived for some time in Oxfordshire, UK. Maurice Combes was probably their son, born abt 1914-1915. She died at the age of 45 according to her grave marker.

I have found references to a Violet A. Combes who died in 1931, aged 45, in Headington, Oxfordshire.

I should like to find anyone connected with her to compare notes and exchange information so as to confirm my findings. Any clues greatly appreciated.
