Reverand Frederick Ayckbowm

  Research Notes:

The following e-mail was received from Gustaf Eichbaumon the 30 January 2006

Dear David,

as an German oaktree I´m always interested what other oaktrees did in the past.
Today I had again a look into your ancestry and Reverend Frederick Ayckbowm,
whom I know as Frederick Eichbaum, son of Johann Diederich Eichbaum, 1748 - 1807, was married to Mary Barnes, 1754 - 1831. The oldest known Eichbaum in that line was Johann Diederich Eichbaum, born March 26, 1701 in Borgholzhausen, Westfalen, his parents were then Johann Heinrich Eichbaum, and Margarethe Lahmann/Lohmann. He probably went to Dublin one day.
The birth of the baby in 1701 was the only entry they could find in the Borgholzhausen parish records (protestant). Maybee the father worked as a glassmaker. The place became rights of a "town" in 1719.

I´m not related to them (? not yet), but interested since I was asked about the family of the foundress of the Community of the Sisters of the Church (CSC) Emily Ayckbowm or better Eichbaum, her brother , reverend Frederick Albert Grosvenor Eichbaum, 1840 - 1909, Chester, kept that name all his life.
Emily Ayckbowm was added to the Canadian calendar of holy persons in the book of Alternative Services in 2004.

Yours
