Seeking information on Stephen Thomas MERRELL (MERRELL/MERRILL), bc
1850, St. Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands. He married Sarah Ann
HARRI(E)S (b 1857, either in Aberdare or Aberavon, Wales, daughter of
James HARRI(E)S and wife Louisa) in 1877 in Swansea. Stephen Thomas
died c1939 in Swansea.
Stephen Thomas is believed to be the son of Stephen MERRELL
(c1822-bef1861) and Susanna WALKEY (1822-aft1871) of Jersey, CI.
Stephen Sr. worked in perfume manufacture. Other children of the family
include:
Louisa Elizabeth, bc1853, St. Helier, Jersey
Cecilia Susannah Friendship, bc1854, St. Helier, Jersey
Matilda M. A., bc1857, St. Helier, Jersey
Stephen Thomas went to sea as a cabin boy at a young age at the behest
of his uncle, [probably Capt. John WALKEY]. After his marriage, Stephen
Thomas settled in Swansea and had five children born there:
Cecilia Louisa (b1878; m. Thomas TYRELL),
Susannah (1879-1958; m. Harry John WHITEHOUSE),
Stephen James (1881-1942; m. Julia Ann),
Thomas (b1885; m. Kathrin SKERRY),
Frederick (b1890; m. Emily Jane NICHOLLS).
My primary interest is in the WALKEY connection and any proof that
Stephen Thomas MERRELL is the son of Susanna WALKEY of Jersey.
Any assistance is *very* much appreciated. Please contact me at
