John,
My name is Kristi Fane, I just saw your post dated 2001, I believe I am related to you. My family was from Dixon, IL- my grandfather was LeRoy Fane, I believe John could have been his grandfather, making him my great great grandfather. I know that our roots are from Ireland as well.

Thank you for your info.

I shall fossick around in what little Fane info I have and then check with my friend, as I was helping her try and explore some family history. Yours is the first response I've had, so it's not fresh in my mind. If it seems there's a chance of a connection I shall let you know.

Regards,

Hi; my name is steve brearton and a couple of years ago I wrote and curated a show on the history of cycling in Toronto at the Market Gallery. I'm sure you know this, but Fane was an early bike racer and his company Comet Cycles was probably the first Canadian company to manufacture bikes. Since I became acquainted with Fane I've been fascinated with his story. Here's some text written for the show, but I know I have a clipping file somewhere on Tom Fane.Also, it's not in the text below, but Tom's daughter Ethel apparently rode a specially-built Comet tricycle around. If you have any more info on Fane I'd love to hear it; I've always wanted to do a story on him. Please contact me via my regular email address at sbrearton@sympatico.ca.

Comet Cycles and Toronto’s Bicycle Industry
“If these are hard times,” wrote one newspaper columnist in 1894. “Can you tell me where all the money goes to pay for those bicycles?” During the 1890s, Canada is in the midst of an economic recession, but for the bicycle industry it is boom times. Never again will Toronto boast more bike manufacturers. During the decade, at least 13 different Toronto firms are building cycles. Although a large portion of the early bicycle ‘manufacture’ in Toronto is actually assembly, the industry is part of a larger sector that is among the first to use innovations including product testing and assembly lines. Technical advances in cycling will make later automobiles and planes possible. 1895 proves a turning point for Toronto builders with the announcement that mighty Massey-Harris is launching a bicycle division. Other large manufacturers in the market include America’s Cleveland Bicycles. Cleveland’s Junction works has337,000 square feet of floor space and can produce 200 bikes daily. No firm, however, better reflects the opportunities – and pitfalls - generated by the boom than Comet cycles. As early as 1882, Thomas Fane partners with Charles Lavender to start T. Fane & Company, makers of Comet bikes and Canada’s first bicycle manufacturer if contemporary accounts can be believed. (Fane was a championship racer for the Toronto Bicycle Club in the 1880s, who married Gypsy Creed - reportedly Toronto’s first women cyclist.) By 1890, Comet cycles are producing nine different men’s and women’s bikes and are among the most familiar cycles in the city. The firm boasts a factory at 33 Adelaide Street West and a satellite operation in Buffalo. In 1895, Comet moves to a handsome five-story building on Temperance St., the top story of which was used for a bicycle school. (Three other manufacturers boast cycling schools; in four or five lessons, it is said, “the average women becomes an expert wheelswoman.”) Four years later, despite exporting bikes to Australia and the United Kingdom, Comet goes bankrupt; the victim of too much competition, particularly from large U.S. companies situated in Canada. Major Canadian manufacturers, including Massey-Harris, Welland Vale and Toronto’s Gendron, respond to the challenging business climate by combining to form the Canada Cycle & Motor Company Limited. By 1930, CCM is one of only three large bicycle manufacturers in the entire nation and CCM produces the great bulk of Canadian cycles. Toronto continues to have small-scale bicycle makers, among them Planet, a survivor of the l890s, as well as Alan Kay Cycles and specialty frame builders, such as the iconic Doc Morton, who built racing frames on Dundas Street for some of Canada’s fastest wheelmen in the 20s and 30s,but the days of bike manufacturing as a major economic presence in the city are over. In 1978, CCM closes its Weston plant. Today, Toronto’s bicycle manufacturing legacy remains alive through specialty frame builders such as Mariposa bicycles.

Salis and Robertson

Paul_Weindling — 2009-01-02 12:26:37Z

I am seeking the date of a marriage between a male scion of the Salis family and a Mexican branch of the Robertsons. Her name was Connie or Millie and married a De/ Von Salis, perhaps in the 1890s. A niece tells me that this De Salis was in military service in India in the 1930s.

Fanes of Ireland & Australia

verbena59 — 2007-08-03 02:43:15Z

I am attempting to assist a friend in tracing her Fane ancestors.

William Fane was born circa 1830 in Cork, Ireland. His parents were Thomas and Catherine Fane (nee Ryan).

William, an upholsterer, married Mary Langton (of Tipperary) in Sydney, Australia in 1863.

Thomas Fane was a builder.

Any leads gratefully accepted.

Thanks

From the British Columbia Vital Statistics death index

Austin Bernard G Fane
Died: Sept. 7 1969
Age: 86
Location: Victoria BC

Re: Fane of Canterbury,Alberta, Brisith Columbia

familytree91 — 2007-04-17 08:26:39Z

if you go back to the Free BMD you'll find the marriage for William Fane and Mary MUCKELSTON in 1878 - be sure to click on the page number

Re: Fane of Canterbury,Alberta, Brisith Columbia

familytree91 — 2007-04-17 08:13:51Z

From http://freebmd.rootsweb.com
Birth registration index shows:
Austin Bernard G Fane born in the March Quarter of 1883 in Woburn district Volume 3b Page 411 This is the info needed to obtain the birth certificate, but narrows down within about 4 months when he was born. Woburn is in the county of Befordshire.

I didn't find William Walter, as the Free BMD isn't complete. I didn't look at the Ancestry's complete BMD index, but it's free to all after registering
http://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/rectype/vital/freebmd/bmd.a... Hopefully you'll have some luck there looking for his birth.

The 1891 census finds the following family in Kent with Austin's mother re-married.

Charles Fishburne 30 Farmer
Mary Fishburne 31
Margaretta Fishburne 13
Frederic J Fishburne 10 ½
Christina Fane 10
Austin B G Fane 8 born Toddington, Bedfordshire
Louis R Fane 6
Morgan W E Fane 5
Wilfred G Fishburne 1

If you go to the LDS website you'll find Mary with husband William Fane and the first two daughters on the 1881 census in Toddington, Bedfordshire.

Back to the Free BMD shows the following marriage
1888 Sept. Qtr. Woburn 3b 633
Mary Fane
Charles James Fishburne

That should get you started with lots to follow up with.
