Rev Thomas Rock Garnsey 1792-1847 (General)
Brilliant to hear from you!
I believe I'm Thomas' 2nd cousin 3 times removed.....the family descends from the Garnseys of Uffculme, Thomas Rock and I both descend from John Garnsey 1710-58, and I have been in touch with Heather Garnsey of Australia who has also been researching. I've read a bit about Thomas' missionary work in Sierra Leone and also an account of his funeral. I've managed to follow some of Thomas' children but there are others of which I as yet know next to nothing. If I have it right, Caroline Sarah married William Henry Swayne and the marriage was childless; Henry Edward Fowler was an academic and died unmarried; Charles Frederick emigrated to Australia; Agnes Elizabeth married Charles Augustus Solbe; but of Robert, William Hare and Mary I know nothing - not even dates of birth.
Best wishes
Graham
