Nile Family

Victoria Nile — 20 Sep 2002 2:11:46 GMT

I'm visiting the US (to see our new grand-daugther in VA) and have found by chance this site. (We live in the UK)

I'm also trying to find my ancestors "Nile"

My father was Antonio Nile, and born in Gibraltar,
the British Colony in the South of Spain.

I was also born there, but we were taken to the UK during the war.

My Grandfather was Charles Nile, and so is one of my brothers. My Grandfather was Captain of the Port of Gibraltar
at around 1900's

My father left Gibraltar for Argentina, at the turn of the Century.
He was born in 1887, married there, and returned to Europe in about 1927, settling in La Linea, the nearest town to Gibraltar.

He was one of several brothers and sisters, who were scaterred all over the place, and have lost track of them.

The family word is that the Nile's originally came to Gibraltar from the Manchester (UK) area, but have never been able to
trace any of them in the UK.

There is a lovely Nile family in St Austell, Cornwall, UK, but we can not find any common ground.

Can anobody shed any light ??

Hoar -> Nile in Rangeley

rickers186 — 12 Jun 2007 1:28:05 GMT

In the 1870 census for Franklin Co, Maine, five families appear with surname Nile that had been surname Hoar in the 1860 census.

Does anyone know the reason for this name change?

Was there a family feud? Was there a Civil War disgrace? Was there embarrassment about the similar sounding "whore"? Could it be that one of the wives was Dorcas Hoar (m.n. Haley), which was the name of a 1692 Salem accused witch?

LeRoy Nile - Rangeley

Any Nile people still around - these messages all seem old...

My father was LeRoy Albion Nile - born about 1914 - adopted by Leland F.(Franklin ?) and Ellen Naomi (or Naomi Ellen) Nile when he was about 7 yrs old, I think. My father wrote 2 books about Maine - Tales of the Rangeley Lakes and Kennebago Summer. Married Martha and moved to SC after WW2.

My grandfather, Leland ran some kind of a camp in Rangeley Lakes, I think. Please reply, thanks!

James Nile Farmer

David A. Farmer — 29 Dec 2001 4:33:20 GMT

My 3rd great grandmother, Nancy McCord Farmer (nee Jameson) used the name Nile as the middle name for her son James Nile Farmer in the early 1800's in Kentucky. She had used other surnames in the family as middle names for her children so I must assume that we tie into a Nile family somewhere.

Does anyone have Farmers, McCords or Jameson in the late 1700's early 1800's in their lines?

Does anyone have any info on my ancester Almarinda (NILE) ADKINS (b about 1834 in OH). She married Francis Morton ADKINS (b 23 Dec 1830 in Adair, KY; d 2 Dec 1918 in Deway, OK) on 15 May 1856 in Carrollton, Carroll, MO. Therefore, her parents probably lived there as well.
