Christine

Sorry to be thick but Im a bit blown away by so much info, but thanks. Unless you draw a picture Im a bit lost!! ;-(

What is the above saying? The parents of Frank Woolhouse 7th April 1875 Kensington were Henry Woolhouse 1841 Saxby and Susan Woolhouse (nee Bunting) 1839 Debden Essex.

Who were all those others????? Can you explain a bit sorry to simple. Draw a line or dots to show who is who.

Who were Henry's parents?? my brain hurts! I think Henry's parents were: His father was also called Henry 1809 his mother Elizabeth is this right? Thanks Christine and Ozibird its great but can you be patient and expalin a bit to me?

So the parents of Henry Woolhouse 1809 were Father: JOSEPH WOOLHOUSE
Mother: SARAH

yes or am I wrong??

I suppose it is a little hard to follow and a lot of information all at once.

You may find it easier to follow if you print it out.

The details are of your Henry 1841 right back to the 1841 census. His father was also called Henry and his mother Elizabeth.

I posted Henry and Elizabeth in 1861/71/81 after Henry had left the family home.

The details Ozibird put from IGI information is the marriage of Henry's parents, Henry and Elizabeth , and then one further generation back. The parents of Henry 1809 were Joseph and Sarah.

Hope you can follow this easier now.

Christine

My brain still hurts I think if you can think in many directions it helps! you are both masters at this. I am dyslexic but I'll print it out and pick through it. Hope I find the links.

I have put all the census years for Henry born 1841 in one document, and also saved the census images so if you would like me to email them to you I will.

Just click on my name to send me a private message with your email address.

It must be overwhelming to receive so much information all at once.

Christine

I sent you a PM with my gmail address. Thats very kind of you. I find it hard to link things, although I have done a lot via my own research and via GRU contacts. I do find this hobby very interesting but getting the certs does cost a small fortune if you want hard proof of marriages etc. I already have many but nothing on the Woolhouse name. Ozibird suggests Frank Woolhouse was in the "Sappers" (army) do any of the database systems you use have photos or info of army service and overseas emmigration abroad?? Do you think the name Woolhouse is linked to Wool or a house for keeping wool?? its seems to make sense!!

Thanks Christine got the censue sheets. Very kind. Its amazing to think they were written by hand in old ink pen by some poor guy all those years ago. What a job collecting census info. Walking up lanes and streets and knocking on all kinds of doors to get family household info!!! different times. Little would he know his hand writting would be there for all to see year and years later!!!

You're welcome, will get back to you later.

Christine

I have made a tree from it all to add to the others. Thank you very much!!! ;-) Christine and Ozibird

All very interesting. I would love to know if there are any living rellies to the Woolhouse name!!??

Do you know if any were in the wars 1 or 2 ??? if you have time and don't mind any more info?

The Frank Woolhouse, the Sapper, was born in Marylebone. I think he may be a cousin of some sort.

I've been working back through the Henry's siblings. I'll add what I've found so far.

Here's Frank first.
The best thing for you to do is print it all, cut it up & sort it all out like a family tree.

However,

FRANK
Births Jun 1875
Woolhouse Frank Percy Kensington 1a 131

with siblings
ALICE
Births Mar 1871
Woolhouse Alice Susan Kensington 1a 144

FRED & HENRY - look like twins
Births Dec 1873
Woolhouse Frederick Charles Kensington 1a 121
Woolhouse Henry George Kensington 1a 121

It looks as if FRED married Bertha Hayward in 1905, & HENRY a Florence Smith or Rogers. Both Florences are possibilities, for example.

Births Jun 1913
Woolhouse Frank L Smith Camberwell 1d 1446
Woolhouse Frederick H Rogers Sheffield 9c 1212

It looks like ALICE never married, & I guess you know who FRANK married.

There are possible other siblings between the marriage of Frank's parents & their eldest surviving child, Alice. However there is at least one other family of Woolhouses in Kensington at that time so other births in that area are not necessarily immediate family.

Frank's parents are HENRY Woolhouse & SUSAN Bunting

In the 1881 & 1891 Henry is a builder & decorator with his sons as assistants or, in Frank's case, an apprentice in 1891. By 1901 he has branched into the Ironmongery business with all his son as Ironmonger's assistants.

To go further back, HENRY was born c1841 in Saxilby, Lincolnshire to HENRY Woolhouse & ELIZABETH Toyn Booth.

Spouse: ELIZABETH TOYN BOOTH
Marriage: 26 JUN 1834 Broxholme, Lincoln, England

Batch No.: M027293; Dates: 1642 - 1837


In the 1841 census HENRY & ELIZABETH had 2 daughters & 2 sons older than Henry.
MARY & ANN (probably twins) born c1836 but christened in Saxilby 5 May 1835 according to the IGI. Then there are CHARLES c1837 & JOSEPH c1839. HENRY snr is a joiner (or carpenter). In 1851 he's a master joiner which usually means he's an employer or has an apprentice. His sons are still scholars. Ann is a teacher (probably pupil-teacher) & Mary is a servant to a Wooldridge family in Lincoln.

By the 1861 census the family has scattered. HENRY jnr is also a joiner, lodging in Brightside Brierlow, Yorkshire. ANN is also in Brierlow working as a barmaid for her Aunt Ann Thompson who is an innkeeper. Interestingly Ann Thompson's son-in-law & family are living with them. His surname is Wooldridge (circles within circles). MARY has married Joseph Smith. A farmer 15 years her snr. They are living with her parents-in-law, also farmers.

Ozi.

Now to go further back.

HENRY snr was born c1808 in Ingham, Lincolnshire, christened 31 July at Ingham. His parents were JOSEPH Woolhouse & SARAH ?

According to the IGI he had at least 6 siblings. JOSEPH, JOHN, MARY, EDWARD, FREDERIC & EDMUND.

In 1841 JOSEPH & SARAH are living in Ingham. Their daughter, MARY Elston, is visiting with her daughters Betsey & Caroline. Remember I said they'd be more about her later? There is no record of Joseph's occupation but he's well off enough to be "índependent."
JOSEPH jnr is living with his wife, Harriet Otter, & their 7 children in Faldingworth, Lincs. He's a farmer. You can find his marriage on the IGI (www.familysearch.org)
JOHN is living with his wife, Elizabeth, & 8 children in Southorpe, Northamptonshire. Their eldest child is called Marshall so it's very likely that was Elizabeth's maiden name.
MARY married Thomas Elston. Thomas & their 2 eldest daughters are living in Bail Gate, Lincoln. He's a cordwainer (shoemaker).
EDWARD is a butcher in Ingham.
FREDERIC married Susannah Green. He's living with his wife & 3 children in Ingham. He's a wheelwright.
EDMUND is living in Ingham with his wife, Eliza, & baby daughter. Next door to JOSEPH & SARAH. He's a wheelwright.
