ONG in Cambridgeshire, England

andrewmartinUK — 2008-11-23 00:52:06Z

Hello everyone.

I've known for a while now that i had the ONG family in my ancestry but it's only really tonight that I've tried to go back further.

The most recent ONG in my tree was Mary ONG. She married Philip CROSS in Ely, Cambridgeshire in 1790.

Mary was the 7th child of Thomas ONG (of Ely), and she was the 4th child of his second wife, Martha (née FEAST). Thomas' first wife had also been called Martha and she died in 1764. There had been an earlier Mary child but she died as an infant in 1769.

It looks like Mary ONG and her younger sister Martha were likely to be the only survivors of the ONG family in Ely.

If anyone can shed some light onto this name and it's location in a pre-1858 date.. then i'd love to hear from you.

There's a bit more ONG on my website - www.familytreeuk.co.uk/ong

thanks

I do believe that Rebecca Ong of this line married Reason Jones, an ancestor of Mary Vanetta Jones, who married Adam Kerr, and produced my grandfather, Roy Melvin Kerr. Mary Vanetta Jones was a Quaker, and her mother still spoke the King James English.

Hello,

I've loaded my ancestor tree which includes all the Ong children on www.genesreunited.co.uk . I suggest you register on the site and look for George Ong born 1824. I can then give you access to my tree where you can see all the Ong family I have found.

Hi Ray, I am also researching the Ong family in the UK. My grandmother was an Eliza Ong (circa 1890's) and she was one of 15 children, her father was a George Willim Ong but I don't know the name of the mother (it may also have been Eliza). The only siblings I know for sure are her sisters Cissie and Nellie (who was an opera singer), and one of the brothers named Jack who went to live in Derbyshire when he got older. Two of the sons died in the 1st World War and I have an old photo of one of their graves in France as well as a photo of one of the sons on Minden Day. It looks as though Edward was one of the brothers as well. What are the names of the 8 other children you know about and do you have any idea where George William Ong originated

I have a letter written by a John Ong of the 155 PA on behalf of my GGGrandfather John Lyons' pension review. They were both in Ottowa, IL at the time. I would be glad to share it with you.

Margaret M. Ong divorced wife of Benjamin Ong from PA

gsmock1 — 2008-03-23 16:56:25Z

Margaret M.(Smock)Ong was divorced from Benjamin Ong in Wilson Co. KS and later died in Amarillo, Texas. I have seen the date of her death as 16 Feb 1917. At Find-a-grave is a Margaret Ong, no birth date given, in the Llano Cemetery in Amarillo,TX with a death date of 1915. There are no dates on the stone in the picture. Can anyone tell me if the two Margaret Ongs are the same person. Thanks!

Theltenham ONGS and Quakers

SarahJames606 — 2007-11-02 21:48:21Z

I am a direct descendent of Ada Minnie ONG, who married William STONE in 1909. Ada was the daughter of Walter ONG and Minnie Ada POULTON. This branch of my family has its origins in Thelnetham, Suffolk where Thomas ONG married Sarah NICE in 1754.

The Ongs who emigrated to America seemed to be Quakers - unless I'm mistaken. Does anyone know if my ancestors in Theltenham and thereabouts were Quakers too?

Many thanks

I have and Ong in America book. It lists Missouri Ong as one of the last entries. My Great-Grandfather was Lunceford Odam son of Jacob and Missouri Odam. My grandfather was Lunceford's oldest sons. (Mother was Josephine Hughbanks) My Grandfather was Farris Odam. The book I have is on CD.

jim_jack0 — 2007-03-18 23:29:04Z

Thanks for your reply Les.
Yes my grandmother was Margret Maria who married James Jackson (19??). I know she had a brother Albert, there were also James, Mary, Thomas and Nell.
You can email me at genius.jim@gmail.com. I will have a look for your email address.

Thanks again
Jim Jackson

Re: Ong Surname

Les_Ong — 2007-03-18 23:12:12Z

Apologies for my tardy reply. Is your grandmother the Margaret who married James Jackson in 1921? She and her brother Albert were two of the children of Alfred William Ong and his wife Margaret (nee MOYLAN). Alfred died in 1956. His parents were James and Ellen Ong.
I havn't been in touch with Jim Whittle and Neil Cullen recently but they are also related to other children of James and Ellen. If you email me I'm sure I will be able to give you more information. Best wishes. Les

George and Eliza Ongs fifteen children

RayHagon — 2006-08-26 22:25:29Z

I read with interest about what Les Ong said about the Ong family. My great grandfather Edward Ong was born 1889 to George and Eliza Ong. My own research has found nine children and you mention there were fifteen children so please can you send me more information.

Re: Oliver Hammond Ong,b:ca1820Oh

2005-04-17 05:05:21Z

Judith,

I just came across your Dec. 2000 message regarding the identity of Oliver Ong's parents. I am sure that by now you have discovered that they were Dr. Nathan and Mary Hammond Ong, my gr-gr-great-grandparents. I am descended from their oldest son, Reason (Rezin).

I am wondering if by chance you have come across any information on Mary or her parents, George and Deborah Hammond. As Nathan Ong died so young in 1828, I have always wondered what became of Mary and the seven children, including my Reason and your Oliver. Possibly she remarried, or she and the children moved in with a relative, or some of the children may have been sent to live at other Ong or Hammond households. I haven't been able to find any answers. If you have come across any information, I surely would appreciate it if you could help.

Hello Janette

I’m not sure how much you are already aware of your mother’s ONG roots but she is part of the same family as Jim Whittle and Neil Cullen (see replies above) who I have been corresponding with. The family of James and Ellen ONG (nee ORTON) lived in Fulham in London at the end of the 19th Century. One of their children Ernest married Alice Agnes BELL in 1910 in Lancashire. Their son George, born in 1914, married Ruth BUCKBY in 1935 and my records show that the births of two children with a mother’s name of BUCKBY were registered, Ruth (1939) and Gillian (1948). Is your mother Gillian by any chance?

Please feel free to email me. I’ll be able to provide you with much detail of this branch of the ONG family.

Regards,
Les

Hello Les

My mother (and I) have always been curious about the origins of her birth-surname - which is Ong. Her step-surname (Buckby) is also rather unusual, as is my maiden surname - Watson-Barron.

I am very keen to try and either unravel (or knit!) my lineages and have started from my maternal side - hence this correspondence.

I look forward to any serious correspondence/information with regard to the surnames Ong, Buckby, Stevens and Watson-Barron - primarily in the UK.

With Kind Regards
Janette Watson-Barron

Re: Ong Surname

Thank you for replying so quickly. Ernest Herbert was my grandfather. And I am trying to trace that side of the family. I am in Australia so getting information is rather hard.

I have Ernests birth certificate (b. 19/2/1883) his father was James and lived in 4 Percy Mews Shepherds Bush. James married Ellen Horton, Ernest married Alice Agnes Bell. Their daugter Constance was my mother. Constance died in 1985 in Brisbane Australia. I would by most greatfull for any more information on the James & Ellen side.

Janice,
Thank you so much for all the information. I have also been in contact with Mike Petrik. It's satisfying for me to realize that my research efforts have filled in some blanks on Susan Ong.
I will send you privately the same summary of findings that I sent Mike. Wendy

Both Elizabeth and Abraham are buried in the Warrington Burial Ground in York County, Pennsylvania. I have been unable to find any information on her parents or where she was born.

Paternal grandfathers

pasoman17 — 2004-02-13 22:46:09Z

My father was James Mifflin Ong III. I found his father and grandfather in the 1870 and 1880 U.S. Census. James Mifflin II is listed as age 7 and age 16 in the census which would make him born around 1864, but the only record found has him born in Covington, Kentucky. The majority of Ong's I think my link is are in Ohio or Indiana at this time. The James Mifflin Ong born to Jacob Ong and Mary McGrew died as a teenager (14) so he can't be my great-great-grandfather. The James and Mifflins have to be cousins, uncles. Can someone help me with this history mystery? I have a current four generation family group sheet that I would be happy to share.
