Henry Naylor/Nayler/Nailor b Yorkshire ca. 1819-1820 (?)
I'd like to follow Henry Nayl?r back into Yorkshire with a little help from my friends, if possible.
Yes I know there are a lot of Naylors in Yorkshire! [EDIT: The book I found (post #16) says that he came from England at age 5 and that he was born in 1820, so please disregard the "1809" date of birth in my graphic below. It should be ca. 1819 or 1820.] I want to let other voices speak because I have altogether too much interest in having him turn up in the parish next to my own family. It would be nice but I don't want to stitch together a fairy tale. Working backwards in time on this tree, we have: William Michael Naylor born 23 Oct 1939 Burlington, Chittenden, Vermont, USA died 22 Sep 2006 Newfane, Niagara, New York, USA William John Naylor born 27 Jul 1904 VT died 4 Jan 1980 Inpatient, Burlington, Chittenden, Vermont, USA William Henry Naylor born 22 Nov 1870 Isle La Motte, Grand Isle, Vermont, USA died 22 Mar 1944 Isle La Motte, Grand Isle, Vermont, USA Henry Naylor born 1809 (??) Yorkshire, England died 18 Jan 1898 Isle La Motte, Vt Last edited by Janet; 30-12-19 at 00:11. |

How do I know Henry is from Yorkshire? And more importantly, why 1809? Of course I could be wrong, but I think it's likely he was lying about his age the rest of his life but in front of the immigration judge he probably told the truth for the first time in years because he really wanted his naturalization papers. It certainly is strongly blacked in, over the top of whatever it was he started to say at first.

He came first to Canada and married Elizabeth Vaughan, in 1843.
(I thought I had glimpsed him arriving as a sailor or some kind of seagoing apprentice but have not found it again, so not sure where to look for him earlier, whether in Canadian records or on the 1841 in England.) https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...53/edit/record Name Henry Naylor Religion Episcopal Event Type Mariage Marriage Date 1843 Marriage Place Iberville Québec Place of Worship or Institution Episcopal Church, Caldwell and Christie Spouse Elisabeth Vaughan |

1884
Hero, VT Henry Naylor citizenship 31 August 1884 Note there are 2 pages, 124 and 125 of 233. Born in 1809 in Yorkshire. https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...00028070_00125 ================================================ "United States, New England Petitions for Naturalization Index, 1791-1906," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/...M3%3A165643201 : 20 May 2014), Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont N240 (Abate) - N635 (William M.) > image 3801 of 5359; citing NARA microfilm publication M1299 (Washington, D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, n.d.). https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61...3A1%3AVXRH-8VK Henry Nayler United States, New England Petitions for Naturalization Index, 1791-1906 Name: Henry Nayler Event Type: Naturalization Event Date: 1886 Event Place: Vermont Birth Year: 1809 Birthplace: Yorkshire, England ================================================ EDIT: Have just found a note to myself that somewhere on these immigration papers it is stated that he has lived in the U.S. for 5 years prior to 31 August 1886, so was here by 1881. Also there is a cross-out that seems to indicate he did not come before age 18. Last edited by Janet; 26-12-19 at 19:46. |

I haven't read through the whole thread yet, but I think in the naturalisation papers, they originally started to write the current year which was 1884, which should have been written a few lines further down, and by the time they had written "eighty" they realised they were writing it in the wrong place and wrote Nine over it.

I would worry that the official had just made a mistake with a subtraction to get to 1809 and the year of birth should read 1819

Well, Merry, you could be right! The search broadens...
Thanks for that, Kite. I think I can now see what you've seen underneath there. Libby, you have Naylors too? This is our neighbor family, the one you've probably heard me call "No. 3 Son". |
