Find Ancestors

Hitting a brick wall with my own Tree..Can do most 1841 lookups and some 1871 (devon,cornwall,dorset,glamorgan,kent,middlesex,surrey,norfolk, staffs,wiltshire & worcestershire) Anyone need help Alison.

Hi Alison, Others have tried for me without success. You may be able to help. 1841 Lookup. William Wynne (Surgeon) & Sarah (nee Cardinal). At that stage they had two children: William Percy Wynne b.1839 Islington, London. When William Percy was born his father William was listed as Medical Student. Emily Lucretia Wynne b.1840 London area. Later children were all born in the London area. Surrey, Middlesex, Kent. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers, Fran Wynne

Hi Fran I found them HO197/690/12 Upper queens buildings,Brompton,Kensington. Middlesex. William Wynne 25 chemist b. out of county Sarah ~ 20 b. in county William ~ 2 ~ Emily ~ 8mths ~ Hope this helps you. Alison

Hi Alison, WOW! Thank you so much for that. You're the first to be able to find William at any time on a census. Sarah died in 1849 and no one can find William on any of the census up until he died in 1862 at Loose, Kent. He did remarry in 1851 and at that time he already had another four children. William Percy died the same year as Sarah. Emily and Catherine (Kate) were at a boarding school in 1851. My Great Grandfather Cardinal Wynne cannot be found anywhere; he would have been 6/7 years old. He came to Australia about 1865/66 at about age 21/22. I couldn't even find him on any shipping lists. Maybe having a christian name of Cardinal has made things confusing for people. Another child Watkin Wynne b.1846 is possibly one who was found on the 1851 Census as a Pauper at the Workhouses, but it is a bit hard to believe it is him, with his father being a Surgeon. However with his mother dead, who would know what would have happened to him, being so young when she died. William the Surgeon was apparently a drinker and died from Exhaustion from the abuse of Spirits. (Hopefully he didn't practice when he had been drinking). Thank you once again, Fran Wynne

Thank you for this offer Alison, I'm trying to make headway at the top of my tree on the Guylers I know for sure, the family in 1851 is living academy place basford Samuel guyler 1815 basford bleacher my great great great grandad Elizabeth wife 1818 beverlee notts George son 1839 basford Mary ann dau 1841 beverlee (not Basford) Frederick son 1847 mansfield William son 1849 mansfield - my great great grandad Emma dau 1851 10weeks basford Beverlee I'm told is the same as Begailee or similar, and Both Basford and Beverlee are close together in Nottingham. I'm trying now to work out who Elizabeth is. I think this may be Samuel(1815) in 1841 ADDRESS: Back Lane Basford Samuel 1770 ag lab Ann 1765 Samuel 1815 bleacher Thomas 1821 George 1839 However his wife is missing, and so is Mary Ann who was probably born the year of the census. It is possible that he was married twice as on the Nottingham records there is no early marriage of a Samuel and an Elizabeth. It is likely that the first marriage was: GUYLER Samuel PEARSON Sarah Basford St. Leodegarius 21/05/1838 and the second was to Elizabeth GUYLER (?related): GUYLER Samuel GUYLER Elizabeth Basford St. Leodegarius 27/10/1845 If Sarah died in 1841 on the birth of Mary Ann this would explain why Samuel is alone with George. Could you look on the 1841 census at who would be the possible Elizabeth Guyler's (c1818) and also if there is any possible Mary Ann anywhere. I'd be interested in address and occupations - I know they unfortunately didn't do relationships in 1841. Sometimes the name is spelt differently - all these count as the same name - Guyler, Guiler,Guilor,Guylor, Gaylor etc, Thank you again for your help Jan

Alison: I wonder if you might be able to find a family on the 1841 for me? They should be in Tonbridge Wells, Kent, I think. Thomas and Elizabeth SAWYER both born abt 1797 (he in Ticehurst which straddles border with Sussex). their children were: Elizabeth b. 1822 Edmund b.1823 Horatio b.1825 Rosamond b. 1827 Charlotte b. 1829 Caroline b.1834 Charles b.1837 William b.1840 Not all the children would necessarily be present but my direct ancestor is Charlotte - so would love to find her and her parents. Many thanks in advance. Barbara

Hi David & Jan GUYLER'S 1841 details: HO107/857/7 Beggarlee,Newthorpe,Greasley.Notts John Guyler 50 j.w.k Sarah 60 Samuel 27 Elizabeth 22 Ann 21 Mary 9 mths Regards Alison.

Thank you Alison That's very helpful - either Mary ann is Elizabeth's child, or she is sister to George, but being looked after by the family (who in that senario would have to be related to the Samuel/George family I think) I may come back to you for more Thank you Jan

Hello Barbara SAWYER Sorry i cant find them anywhere. Are the birth dates definate? Alison

Hello Jean BREEZE Possibles for 1841 HO107/850/11 Watsons Green, Cambridge. Deliar Breese 23 no occ b. out of county James ~ 21 no occ b. in county HO107/793/4 Howard street, Gt Yarmouth, Norfolk Frederick Breeze 20 hair dreper j b. in county (living in Mary Galland household) Will get back to you on other family members. Alison. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello again, no luck finding parents together anywhere, nor Robert & John. The only other possible i can find is HO107/079/16 High street, Wisbech, St Peter. Cambridgeshire. William Breeze 30 ...draper born out of county Alison

The birth dates are definate for Charlotte Sawyer 1829 and her father Thomas Sawyer 1797, the others are from the IGI and are approximate. Elizabeth died in 1847 and Thomas emmigrated to New Zealand shortly after, so 1841 is the only census they would be on. Sorry you are having trouble finding them for me. Thanks again for looking. Barbara

hi alison..thank you for what you have found so far.....fredericks father william was also an hair dresser.....but that is all i know about him...other than him being married to ann jay.......thanks for your help jean.

Hi Jean BREEZE Ive just been looking through census's again and ive found this one on 1841. There seems to be alot of ladies and a John has cropped up..

John Breeze 40 ag lab Maria 24 John 4 Elizabeth 1 and next door Ann Breeze 69 ag lab (maybe williams wife) Mary 30 ag lab Harriet 6 Sarah 25 ag lab May 5 Ann 3 Helena 4mth im now goggle-eyed, let me know what you think.

Hello Alison Back again. This time I'm looking for a Mark Donegani in 1841. I have found him in 1851 with his wife Ann, but he is only just married then. Family legend has it that he was a servant in a big house ?Lilleshall, Shrophire before then. I would be very grateful if you could see if you can find him. He was born 1809 in Como Italy but we are not sure exactly when he came over to this country. If you do find him I would be interested in who are the other members of the household too. Thank you Jan

Hello again Jan I think i've found him..spelt a bit different. HO107/906/12 Lilleshall House, Sheriff Hales, Shropshire. Rebecca Glover Hall 40 housekeeper b. out of county Sarah Jarvis 25 f.s. b. out of county Lelitia Jane Edwards 25 f.s. b. out of county Mary Johnson 40 f.s. b. in county Elizabeth Ba--age 25 f.s. b. in county Elizabeth Fleming 20 f.s. foreign MARK DONIGANE 30 m.s. foreign (porters lodge-next door) George Hawkins 30 porter b. out of county Hannah Hawkins 30 wife b. out of county Jane Taylor 50 f.s. b. out of county

Thank you Alison Yes that looks like him. Did it say anything about the head of the household and the family - besides the servants? thank you Jan

Hi Jan No sorry i need at least a surname to look it up. Let me know if you need any others found Alison.

Hello Alison Yes sorry, I do realise that, I just wondered if at the address you found mark donigane, there were only servants mentioned. I was wondering if Lilleshall House was the name of the 'big house' or whether these servants worked at 'Lillehall Hall' - formerly the country retreat and hunting lodge for the Duke of Sutherland, and Lilleshall House was just the place where the servants lived. Was the list you wrote before just servants living at that address? Thanks hope that's not too confusing Jan
