Dear Kenneth
I have jsut found that a distant relation of mine married a Abraham Diss in 1849 Rochford Essex England, she was Sarah Pitt (sometimes Sarah Ann Pitt), they seem to have a lot of children and I've followed them through the English Census' It looks as though Abraham died in 1893 aged 66yrs. My connection is through a Stephen Pitt who was her Uncle (her father was Isaac Pitt). I can be contacted direct through sondrast@bigpond.net.au

Re: diss name

rlmcg_1 — 2010-01-08 07:29:17Z

The surname Beerman is wrong, it should be Behrmann, Julia was the daughter of Abraham Behrmann and Hanna Rosen (aka Anna Rosa, Anne Rose) her mother Hanna later married William Todd in Taradale.
The Rosen family originated in Prussia/Germany and migrated to Ballarat circa 1855.
Hanna came to Australia with her brother Adolph
My interest is in the Rosen family now anglicised to Rose when they came to Australia.

I have a lot of early names some family groups but still very few connections. You can find what I have at the family site.

Walter was a White Friar and confessor to John of Gaunt. He was a papal nuncio. I seem to remember he is buried near the altar of Norwich Priory which would be quit an honour.

KDissII — 2009-06-18 11:18:17Z

Hello Andy,

Yes, that is correct. I believe Walter was a Scholar at Cambridge University. He also was ivolved as a Friar, if I recall correctly. Good to speak with again! I am stuck with some people. I will mail again, with details to see if you have input on the early Diss Family.

Take Care,

Kenneth

Re: Diss Family

KDissII — 2009-06-08 19:18:12Z

Hello Andy,

No, not much at this time. I have a Walter Diss going back to the 1400's. He was a monk and a scholar that wrote some books. I have not found those as of yet. Are you in England? I am in Manchester. How are you related?

Re: diss name

Vitiris — 2009-06-01 18:32:20Z

Yes Frederick Thomas is from the West Wickham disses which we have back to John Diss b 1685.

I have 13 children from Frederick's marriage to Julia so you may have more diss family than you thought or I have something wrong

Hello Andy

Please accept our sincere apologies for the loss of your father.

My husband and I also have a 'Diss' family web site at http://www.historyofdiss.info/ and would appreciate it if you could provide us with any information of the Diss family prior to 1825.

Look forward to hearing from you.

I am descended from the Diss/Rayner line of Essex.
Wm=Judith Rayner
Richard=Eleanor Rayner
Moses=Mary Ann Turner
George=Sarah Jane Dixon Hawkins
George Ernest=Susan Ella Gorsuch
Fleetwood Talbot=Grace Scholz
I have done a substantial amount of research in the Essex Record Office & also at the Society of Genealogists in London. Further, about 15 years ago I made contact with a5th Diss Cousin (off a Frederick line) who had done substantial research. He died, but his son now has a Diss website.
If there's any way I can help, please contact me

Re: diss name

SandraFordham — 2004-12-27 16:53:41Z

Found this message board purely by chance, and looked at dissfamilytree.co.uk.
My Diss is my father-in-law's grandmother, and I found her parents and six children - but she wasn't included. I have written a message to let the site creator know.
But how lovely that I have her brothers and sisters - what a bonus. I did notice that one of the siblings married a Pierpoint - would that be any relation to the hangman?

Re: Hilda Diss (Kentz)

roymartin441 — 2003-11-02 01:41:39Z

Kelly,

Hey its Royleen. I had been doing a family tree for Garrett for the past year. I found that Maurice Kentz had changed his name in the Census records. He is listed as Morris Kentz. He was married to a Otlia Diss. I have a copy of the Census records.

According to the 1930 Census "Morris" and "Otilia" were wed at the ages of 31 & 25 respectively. The year was approximately 1923.

I am still trying to search the parents of Maurice and Otilia at this time but have hit a dead end. I hope this little bit helps.

Re: Diss/Rayner - Essex

@@morgkt@cs.com — 2002-10-13 17:38:11Z

Hello Kimberly

The information on Judith Rayner comes from the Parish Records at Bocking. Since posting the original message I have continued to search for the Diss and Rayner ancestors without success. However I have been able to trace back a little on Judith's mother's side. Her parents were Israel Rayner and Judith Cook from Bocking. Judith Cook's parents were Thomas Cook and Mary Kittle or Kettle from Little Leighs Essex. Again this information was taken from the parish records.

I hope that this is of some interest to you

Regards

Tony

Re: Diss/Rayner - Essex

KimberlyTaylorMorgan — 2002-10-13 16:56:52Z

Hi Tony,
It appears that there is a great deal of confusion from William to Abraham to Frederick. I do know that there was a William Henry Clay Diss married to Laura Columbus Williams in Kinmundy, Illinois and from there the history is pretty solid. Unfortunately, it appears that my family was given erroneous info back in the early 1970s and we have based on family tree on those facts.

There are some others that have the same info as I do (Sheri Johnson & Angie Diss) and I believe we are all working from the same paperwork. I will continue with my search and it will either turn up something concrete or it won't.

Thanks for your assistance,
Kimberly

Re: Diss/Rayner - Essex

KimberlyTaylorMorgan — 2002-10-09 02:16:01Z

Hi Tony,
I haven't been online in awhile and recently noticed that you had posted a reply regarding Judith Rayner. May I ask where you were able to locate your information? I haven't been able to find any additional info online regarding Judith & William.

Thanks Tony,
Kimberly

Abraham Diss

KimberlyTaylorMorgan — 2002-10-09 02:10:51Z

Sheri, did Mona reply to you? I have some info but I am missing a couple of pages. I do know that Abraham's father/mother were William & Judith, but I have come to a road block. Any assistance you can give me would be great. Thanks Kimberly

Diss Grandparents

KimberlyTaylorMorgan — 2002-10-09 02:10:51Z

Judy, my grandparents are Chauncey Mitchell & Ruby Pearl Diss. I have info only up to William & Judith Rayner. Do you have info before that? Thanks for any assistance.
Kimberly

Slightly before Chauncey Diss

KimberlyTaylorMorgan — 2002-10-09 02:10:51Z

Hi there Judy, slightly before Chauncey is Kenneth Halden Diss, Sr. & Floye Diss (my parents).

This is going to sound crazy but I started as far back as Lady Maud of Diss just to see where it would take me - unfortunately, I think my hand fell off after awhile. It's good info for someone and when I finish my family history I might enter that one.

Here is what I have + a few other generations:
Kenneth Halden Diss, Sr. - DOB 11/29/26
Chauncey Diss, DOB 12/20/1897
William Henry Clay Diss, 07/07/1858
Frederick Diss, around 1825
Abraham Diss, around 1777
William Diss, 1730, married Judith Rayner 17 Oct 1755, Judith was born about 1734, died 25 Sept 1804. I also have a list of children from William & Judith but the records are very fuzzy with the exception of Samuel, a brother of William.

Does this help? Any assistance you could provide would be wonderful.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Hi there, Frederick is Abraham's son, grandson to William & Judith Rayner Diss. Frederick was born in Hopwell Parrish, Susses Co., England. Married Eliza Clay in Buffalo New York in 1852.

Does that help? I also have a list of children but I wanted to see if you had already received replies...Kimberly
