Winter 2004/5: coming soon: an update on the William and Elizabeth (Easthall) Tarling family....  watch this space....


Judy Kelley & Joyce Rorabaugh

    We are cousins who share a great-grandfather: Arthur Tarling.  Judy is from South Portland, Maine USA and Joyce is from Florida USA.  Also sharing the same great-grandfather is Deb Conley from Cape Elizabeth, Maine who has also been working on this family history.  And yet another great-grandchild is Jeff Tarling from Portland, Maine.
    We have been tracing our family history and we were delighteda few years ago to find this new Tarling family history site where this Tarling page of ours is now being hosted.

The Sardinian - see also more details and a larger photo.

Arthur Tarling married Naomi Elizabeth Pollard in England and they emigrated with their three small children to Montreal, Canada in 1879, via the ship above, see our page on the SS Sardinian.  Arthur and Naomi Elizabeth's children Arthur John, George and William Frederick (later known as Wilfred) were born in London, and then came Charles, Annie Elizabeth (died age 17 months), Walter, Annie Elizabeth and Ernest Richard.
 

Frederick Tarling
Arthur Tarling's parents were Frederick Tarling and Anna Maria Woodward who married in St. James's Clerkenwell in 1843.  The photo on the left shows Frederick Tarling (1817-1875).  We believe that Frederick was baptised 21 Dec 1817 in St. Olaves, Southwark, London and was a warehouseman.   We would dearly like to find Frederick Tarling in the 1841 census, hopefully with his family.  Frederick left a substantial estate (for 1875) and his widow benefitted.

     Frederick (we believe) was the son of William Tarling (an appraiser of the Customs) and Elizabeth Eastall who married on 30 May 1799 in Southwark, London and had four sons: William, George, Charles and our Frederick.  These details come from our research, and from the Tarling database and from R.C.R. Tarling.

Some of our current Tarling items of interest:

Arthur Tarling's brothers and sisters.  We would like to get more details (b, m, d etc.) of the siblings of Arthur, being children of Frederick Tarling and Anna Maria (nee Woodward) who married 20 March 1843 in Clerkenwell.  We have them in the 1861 census and have tried to match births from the Tarling indexes, but we would be delighted to hear more - is there anyone out there related to any of the following:

Arthur Tarling's brother who emigrated to Michigan.  We have been told that Arthur had a brother who emigrated to Michigan, but we don't know who it was - possibly one of the boys above.  Obviously any children would have been Tarling, perhaps living in Michigan from the 1880s, and we'd like to hear from anyone related please.


We would be delighted to hear from you with any comments Judy: jhkell@earthlink.net and Joyce: roraJoyce@aol.com and Deb: silentone@msn.com
