The unversity entry give us more details about their lives.

It comfirms the association with George Briscoe.

The Indian connection means Paul could have been in India with my lot, who were running some of the areas out there!

Paul has also written a book!.... Author, A Collection of the Laws and Rules of the Non-Regulation Provinces. (St Paul's Sch. Reg.; Inns of Court; India Office Lists.)

Born 1839 and the eldest son of George Briscoe Whalley.

Seems he was an influential guy in India!

about George Briscoe Whalley
>>(age 26) at PETERHOUSE, Nov. 1, 1825. Of Staffs. << Of Staffordshire?
S. of the Rev. J. H. (? John, Exeter College, Oxford, 1780, V. of Rushall). Of Birdlip, Gloucs << Thats son of the Rev J H Whalley born 1780.
Sometime Captain in the Army. Father of Paul (1857).<< Paul who's Paul?

Did we know he had a son called Paul ?

Maybe after being made bankrupt in 1821 ish he went to University with whatever means he had left and got himself into the Army?

There are def stil avenues we have not explored yet for you.


Tracey x

Yes i've seen that one, sorry i thought it was something other than what has been found.

Thats when i thought the date might have been 1920 as listed originally before ammendments.

Thats just his insurers details for the shop in London.

I still cannot find anything to say it's not the same George Briscoe Whalley at the minute.


Tracey x

I just googled George Briscoe Whalley and it came up.First page 5th one down

Maryb

When i search the National Archive i don't get anything for George Briscoe Whalley.

Can you post the link?


Tracey x

Yes sorry 1820

Basinghall Street is the address he was Bankrupt from?

You state the archive is 1920? did you mean 1820?


Tracey x

It just says insured George briscoe whalley 50,Bassinghall Street Blackwell Factor.
John Whalley his dad 1761-1839 mum Elizabeth roebuck 1765-1844
Maryb

According to the baptism i found his dad was John Whalley and his mother was Elizabeth?

George Briscoe Whalley died in 1860, what is on the national Archives?

Tracey x

Also something on National archives date 27/1/1920,maybe it was his dads business.

Maryb

There's an advert stating all his wares for sale in the Times dated 09 Jan 1822.

Still possible for him to run away and get another trade, what better than the military?


Tracey x

Was he only 23 when he went bankrupt,seems a bit young.

Maryb

Ok, the Gazette does have some bits for you.

I have included all links. I wonder if he was in Drapery before he joined the military? Maybe his Bankrupcy forced his decision?
