Rice Family
published by on Mon, 05/11/2018 - 14:58
My maternal ancestry is traced back as far as Henry Rice (1748 - 1825) who married Diana/Dinah Ford at St George's Church, Easton in Gordano, on 15th March 1784. As yet I have been unable to go back further than Henry.
Hopefully there are a few more descendents within the Rice family able to help.

Does your family ancestry link to an Anne Rice b. abt 1788 d. 1848, who married Richard Elliot in 1808?

Thanks Wayne - there seems to be a fit here. I have encountered Ann Rice baptised 14.02.1787 and four other children born to Henry and Diana. (Diana, Henry, John and a second John)

My maternal ancestry also traces back as far as Henry Rice & Dinah and I am also unable to go back any further.  Henry Rice is my 4th Great Grandfather.  My line is as follows: Henry Rice & Dinah; then Henry Rice & Sarah Anderson; then Henry Rice & Ellen Markquick; then Henry Walter Rice & Charlotte Brooks; then Mildred Rice & Ernest Rew; then Audrey Rew & Patrick Royle; then me!

I also am descended from Henry Rice & Dinah from my paternal side and also have the same problem not being able to go further than Henry my 5th Gt Grandfather.

My line goes from his daughter Dinah/Diana who married William Durbin, 1809 Henbury Church, then their daughter Mary Ann 1815-1841 married George Brown 1833 Dundry. Then William Brown 2 X Gt grandfather, Elizabeth Ann Brown, Gt Grandmother, who married Walter Chard and their son Clifford Clarence Chard my grandfather who survived WW1 but lost a leg.
