Default if anyone has a little time this morning

Hiya...my very good friends surname is
IERSTON
He has asked me if I could find out which country this name originates from ...I have been on freebmd and the first registration in this country is 1867...so...the 1871 census should have Ierston parents and which country they are from ...
familysearch.org seems to be down at the moment , so I was wondering if anyone has any free time this morning could they have a look in Birmingham for Ierston in 1871 census and post which country the parents are from
thank you
allan

I'm a bit confused, Allan - the 1867 and 1868 births are in Lambeth, in London, then the first Birmingham birth on FreeBMD is 1877. I'll have a look for both, though.

The father of Charles Joseph is Thomas from Shiplake Oxfordshire. He was born about 1844 and his surname is spelled Ireston on the 1881 census.

There's some confusion on FreeBMD about the spelling, but this is the transcription:


Births Sep 1845 Ireston Thomas Henley 16 69

Thomas's father Joseph (b abt 1814) is from Caversham in Oxfordshire where my Wells are from. Maybe I'm related to your friend?!! lol

Oh, I see - they moved from London to Birmingham between 1868 and about 1872. (Not found them in 1871 yet)

I have a CD of the PRs for Caversham should your friend need anything.

BTW, it's not in Oxfordshire now, was moved to Berkshire!

Sincere apologies...the first are in Lambeth ...then the next are Birmingham ...I have just been on GR and there are Ierston b 1844 in Warwickshire...a bit confusing ...he says he seems to remember someone saying it may come from the Isle of Man ...but I am not convinced at all about that origin ...

By the way, FamilySearch is working o.k. for me, Allan - are you still having trouble with it? If so, you could try using a different browser.
