Find Ancestors

I am in need of an expert, within our family tree we do have a William Garland (B) Abt 1870/1 in Christchurch, Newport, Monmouthshire. his father being a John Garland and mother a Emma Garland (Nee) Crew. My research has found the sinking of a vessel G.I Jones or G.J Jones in 1883, with 11 members of the crew lost.
Further research information found being, A William Garland, crew member, death, 01/Sept/1883 Event place United Kingdom, Event Place Merchant Marine, At Sea, Great Britan, Address Auckland Terrace, Maindee, Newport, Age 13 Occupation Boy Birth 1870.
Any advice on how I may find the father and mother of this William on any site would be very much appreciated.
Kind Regards.
Malcolm.

Hi Abby.
Thank you for your quick response, and yes this is the family that I would like to confirm that the William Garland lost at sea could have belong to, however not sure.
Regards.
Malcolm.

You'll never know for sure - but as John & Emma's son doesn't seem to appear anywhere after 1881, it could be a good guess.

It was the G.I Jones.
You could try the Museum of Cornish life--Tele; 01326 564027 or
News Paper Archives for The Cornishman paper, that is a pay for site, but it was reported by them in September 1883. but i don't have a sub so don't know what info it has

I've been reading the newspaper reports on the wreck. How sad and so traumatic for everyone concerned. I'm afraid all they mention is the young lad being 13, of Maindee/ Menday and of 'being sent to sea by his father because of being unruly.'

If the parents are on 1911 census, it will say how many children they have had - and whether any of them have died

Unfortunately Emma died in 1902, so that info is not on 1911:

Emma Garland
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1837-1915
Name: Emma Garland
Estimated birth year: abt 1845
Registration Year: 1902
Registration Quarter: Oct-Nov-Dec
Age at Death: 57
Registration district: Newport
Inferred County: Monmouthshire
Volume: 11a
Page: 138

Sorry Abby, not sure how to reply, but will make an effort to find out, senior moment. But I would like to thank you all that did reply for your help and information, all of which as I have said has been very much appreciated.
all take care, and stay safe.

Maindee Newport Past and Present on facebook has Newport street directory for 1897
106,Auckland Terrace
John Garland a carpenter.

Auckland Street next but one to Duckpool Terrace

1891 John Garland at number 106 Duckpool Road and I think 106,Auckland Terrace are one in the same

I found it by Googling Auckland Terrace Newport.

Well done Mary, that would be pretty definite proof for me. Here's the 1911 for John.
