Richard Absalom Maynard is in Crockford's Clerical Directory on ancestry - but I don't know what the abbreviations all are:

http://search.ancestry.co.uk/browse/view.aspx?dbid=1548&iid=GB1003-00885&rc=86,1641,231,1671;428,1650,556,1669&pid=7402&ssrc=&fn=abs*&ln=maynard&st=g

and this could be helpful too (Rootsweb entry)

Thank you Zoe! Bloomin' Queensland? That's not too helpful!!!

I expect the son, David, was buried with my other Maynards at Whittlesford by chance, if he had a flying accident nearby - I was just curious as to whether he was also a relative, and that's why he was buried there and not at any of the other nearby parishes.

[Merry]

I've seen a tree on Ancestry which has Richard Absolam's father as:

Richard Maynard
Birth
13 JUL 1840
in Orchard Farm, St.Stephens, Cornwall, England.

Death
14 FEB 1873
in Gympie Hospital, Gympie, Queensland.

and the gen before him in Cornwall too, so probably not connected to mine after all, though they will have to go in my files!

The Queensland BMD indexes show his (Richard Absalom's) birth as 1869, not 1868, and it gives his parents' names as Richard Maynard and Julia Ann Burton.

[Merry]

Thanks Kate.

Have you found any of them on the 1911 census?

[ElizabethHerts]

Some of the children seem to have been born in E Africa. Perhaps they married there.

[Merry]

No I hadn't, because they don't seem to be connected to me, but thanks anyway!

[samesizedfeet]

one of the links I posted said they married in Mombasa where he was a priest and she was a missionary I think

[KiwiChris]

I am im the middle of the project to transcribe all the Australian clerical records. I will see what we have on Maynard.

And do you need the abbreviations in the Crockfords entry translated?

[Merry]

Not for me! - At least not until I find my lot were from Cornwall!!

[KiwiChris]

There is another Maynard priest in Queensland, looking at the records in Crockfords, he is possibly a similar sort of age.

I have asked for a copy of anything we may have for Richard A but Crockfords seems to suggest that he spent all his ordained life in Africa.
