Dee,

I think I have most of the NZ Firmins already - there may be a few questions I could dig out for you :-)

I will sort out the permissions for my tree so you can have a look....

How do you get to Claude?

deegre — 2009-08-11 08:27:31Z

Hi Mel

Thanks for your message. I do not have a lot of information except for a copy of the family tree going back to the 1600s. I will be seeing my Mum this weekend and Claude was her grandfather so I will let her know what you have said. I don't think anyone in NZ knows about the link with royalty. That's an interesting fact. Thanks for getting in touch. Is there any information you need from NZ to fill in any gaps you may have? Let me know. We will talk again soon.
Regards,
Dee

Hi Dee
We are cousins. Henry Norman John's father was Claude Philip Samuel Firmin. Claude is my Gt Gt grandfather (and yours too). I do have a LOT of information about the Firmins and their history. Did you know we can be linked to royalty??

Mel

deegre — 2009-07-05 10:29:55Z

Hi there Mel

I think I have some information which may be useful to you. My maternal grandfather was Henry Norman John Firmin born in Wanganui, NZ in 1907. He was one of four sons and one daughter to Norman and Martha Firmin. On our family tree there is reference to the Firmin Button Co.

Hope this is useful

Yes, I do have more info. Christopher Robert Parker, as you know, married Eliza Vince. CRP's father was James Parker and his mother was Juliet Rolfe. CRP's daughter was Mary Eliza Parker, b. 1820, m. John Josiah Sparks 5 Jun 1843. I have several old records, if you would like to pursue this further.

Christopher Robert would also have been my 3rd great grandfather.

Do you live in U.K.? I am an American. My ancestors, Caroline Augusta Sparks and John Adolphus Farrow having come to the U.S. in the late 1850's.

Thank you for the contact. I did not know about Benjamin Firman, so I have added it to my info. My e-mail address is: pwilson090936@yahoo.com

Hi, Yes I am linked to a rook of Firmins from Chevington - am also linked to Pettits, Mosses and Towlers.
Have also a load of Hunts from Ixworth
Have you any links with the Hawes of Walsham le Willows by any chance?
Talking of Pettits .....
Have a query over Thomas Pettit marriage to Elizabeth Baggot born 1645 in Darlaston Staffs - is this marriage partnership verifiable? There is a probable alternative marriage in Suffolk listed on IGI of a Thomas Pettit to an Elizabeth Andrews on 12 Feb 1654 [Before the birth of Thomas Pettit and Elizabeth's first child Elizabeth in 1659 recorded on IGI.

Linda - my greatgrandfather's brother was Walter Firmin, his name was Edward. The children I know of Walter are Jessie, Herbert, Percy, Albert, William, Sidney, Stanley and twin boys who died at an early age. This information I got through Henry's son who lives in Essex. What information do you have on the family.

My main interest is of Edward who was born around 1857, Walter was born 5.7.1861 in Stoke by Nayland, just north of Colchester.
What's your email address, I can contact you directly, if you wish.

I am Elizabeth Firmin, married to Derek John Firmin born 7th August 1947. Derek's father is an Eric Donald Firmin, born 21st April 1920. He had two brothers - Cecil, 10 or 12 years older, and Doug, again older. both only recently deceased. Doug's wife is still alive ( Ruby) and lives in Norfolk. Eric STILL lives next to TC Firmin's builder's yard in Enfield.I believe his father was a Thomas Charles. I believe my son, Timothy, has also added his name to the Firmin board. We live in Hertfordshire, in and around St.Albans.

Mark,
I am not familiar with a Daisy Firmin from Desoto parish. Could she have possibly been from Avoyelles parish originally? That is is parish where all the Firmin's originated that I have any information about. Search under Avoyelles Parish Surnames of French Origin. You'll find a lot there.
Sincerely,

Hi Tim, Unfortunately I had the wrong Arthur Firmin. The one I am researching is the son of Edward Firmin born in Nayland, Suffolk. Edward worked as a builder in Ilford and I am sure there is some family connection as I remember my family talking about it. Arthur has four brothers, Ernest, Herbert, Walter and Harold. The is/was a Firmin Builders in Enfield I believe now called Newby Firmin, which may have some connection, have you any knowledge on this?
Regards Paul

Re: Arthur Firmin

pfirmin1 — 2004-07-04 22:02:36Z

Hi Elizabeth, thank you for the information. Im still trying to find a link to my family. My father was also Eric Firmin born 1920 in Ilford son of Arthur Firmin and Annie Firmin nee Inskip. Im trying to research my family and their descendants. Arthur Firmin's family was born in Suffolk. I know are a great deal of Firmin's born in Essex these are not part of my family. Any other information would be useful, if you have any connections with my previous message concerning Arthur's brothers or sister. I was born in Welwyn Garden City, I lived in St Albans for a while, I know live in Bedfordshire.
