Descendants of Isaac Paske of Kilgwrrwg, Monmouthshire

This information relates to Chart 15, Isaac Paske,
(c1800-) who lived in Kilgwrrwg, Monmouthshire.

Paula Payne has provided me with a marriage in Mathern Church, on 5 May 1814 of Mary Pask & James Lewis. Paula's ancestors Isaac Pask, and Elizabeth Stephens were witnesses. This was a week before they married. Isaac & Mary were cousins. Mary was the daughter of William & Ann Pask née Thomas.

Paula also found in the same church, the marriage of Isaac Pask to Mary Morgan on 16 November 1818. This marriage was witnessed by Thomas Stephens & Mary Lewis [née Pask].

I searched the 1841 census, and found James & Mary Lewis living in Kilgwrrwg, in the household of Ann Pask, aged 84. Living nearby was Isaac's widow Mary Pask [now known to be Mary née Morgan].
This provides us with the missing link that Isaac's mother was Ann Pask née Thomas.

Chart 15, is now merged with Chart 4. Ann Pask née ? #5845, is also merged with Ann Pask née Thomas. This information will be included in the next website update.

Another major brickwall broken. Many thanks Paula.

Thomas & Sophia Pask née Willis

This information relates to the green-icon tree - descendants of John & Mirabel Pask née Sparrow, born c1680 lived in Wickhambrook, Suffolk.

Second cousins Colin Hart & Maria Karg live thousands of miles apart. Colin in England, and Maria in Hawaii. However, thanks to the internet, they have been able to exchange a lot of information just recently about their common ancestors. Their great-grandmother was Ruth Minnie Simpson née Pask.

John has provided this superb photograph of Thomas & Sophia Pask née Willis.

John & Maria's information, together with several other photographs Colin has provided, will be included in the next website update. Many thanks to them both for sharing this valuable information.

George & Elizabeth Mason née Pask

This information relates to a currently unidentified main branch of the family with roots in London.

This morning, I received an inquiry from Larry Young. He writes:

There is but one Pask in my family tree, the name having come from two Birth Certificates. I am, however at a brick wall of sorts as I am unable to find a marriage certificate, and the surname Pask seems to be frequently misspelt as Park.

What I know about "my" Elizabeth Pask can be found at http://members.optusnet.com.au/~lhtyoung/p368.htm

Elizabeth was born c1824-27 in Middlesex, and married George Mason c1843. They had four children - James, Elizabeth, George, and Lucy. She was a widow in the 1861 census. Also listed was a nephew James Nye aged 18 also born in Middlesex.

I have searched our database, and unfortunately cannot find the marriage, or 1841 census. I also searched for Park, and other main variants. However like Larry, drew a blank.

Can anyone help with Larry's brickwall?
