Find Ancestors

jane im soooo glad i could help.you sound really pleased lol susie

Hurrah! You star! Haven't had much luck on this board recently. That's made my day! Wellopring! Anyway, Frances' father was George but he was dead by the time she married, and her mother was Sarah, I suppose she had died by then too! A big big thank you! Jane

hi jane i found them transcribed as "welloping"lol henry welloping head 55 teacher dorchester susan wife 60 dressmaker dorchester william h son 22 clerk dorchester frances wickens lodger 23 dressmaker london 9 allington terrace all saints dorchester dorset i wonder who frances parents were?? lol susie

Oh dear! William got married to Frances Clara WICKENS in October 1891. She was born in 1868 in Southwark, London. I haven't done a search for her on 1891 yet. His parents (Henry c. 1835 and Susan Elizabeth c. 1828) were still alive in 1901 and living in Dorchester, Dorset, just like him and Frances were too. Both his parents were born in Dorchester. Is this any good? Maybe you could find them or his wife? Perhaps he was in the army overseas, but I have no idea if he was.... Anything you can suggest would be great, Jane

hi jane theres only one more on the 1891 census .aged 3 lol it is quite possible that he got his age wrong.wat was his wifes name(1st wife)and i'll see if i can find her susie

Hi Susie, That's fantastic! The Readers are the right ones. I'm wondering about the William though - the age is ten years out and I didn't know he'd been married twice, the old dog! Would you mind looking to see if there are any other William Wellsprings on there, not necessarily born in Dorset. It's quite an unusual name, so fingers crossed! Thanks again for trying, Jane

hi jane i dont know if this is the right william but its the only one born in dorset william h wellspring head 33 railway servant dorset julia e wife 43 grays end rd london market street south stoneham hampshire robert b reader head 40 miller journeyman chickerill dorset emily wife 42 piddletrenthide dorset mary r dau 14 lyme regis dorset walter h son 12 axminster devon 6 victoria terrace poulner rd ringwood hampshire susie

Hello Susie, If you have time, please could you check the 1891 census for me for: William Henry WELLSPRING, born 1868 in Dorchester, Dorset Mary Rose READER born 1876 in Lyme Regis, Dorset Thank you for offering! Jane

marion i think ive found him!!! thomas baker head 54 chain maker ridcliff bristol susan wife 57 wellington henry r davis son 25 labourer bristol st philip annie s davis dau 16 bristol st philip william h davis g/son 5 chirston?glos mary a matthews lodger 18 glos 11 chapter street bristol susie

Hi susie, Thanks for the info you are an angel thanks kaz

Hi Susie, Sorry to be so vague, I really don't know. I'm chasing a probable red herring as I got his name from the cremetorium burial list whilst looking for my gggrandmother Emma Baker (didn't find her)who died in 1901 at 7 Chapter street. I think on reflection he was 6 Chaper street so would have been next door neighbour and I'm looking for any clues to a family connection. If its any help Emma was living at no. 22 Chapter st. in 1891 with husband Stephen (I have those details). Marion

hi marion is he married or is he living with his parents. susie

Thank you for that......maybe Harry Ralph was Ralph Harry.......who knows. They did like to make life difficult for us Happy hunting Debbi

Susie, Would be great if you could find Thomas Baker in 1891 last known address being 7 Chapter Street Bristol (civil parish St George's Park). I don't have an age for him unfortunately. Many thanks, Marion

Hi susie, thanks for looking but its the wrong alfred thats his nephew by the look of it. heres some more info if it will help Alfred moss b 1849 wife hannah cornelius walter b 1878 ida b1889 hope this is of some help,there is other kids other than the 2 i have put down but thought i would give you the 2 with the "strange" names thanks kaz

Thanks for looking, unfortunatley its not the right ones as he should be 3.My fault i should have included that in my request. Can you look again, his middle name is Ralph, and we believe that was his fathers name. This man is a real brick wall happy hunting Debbi

hi gillian i cant seem to find the others sorry susie

Thanks Susie, I was surprised to see them in West Derby!!! It's a long way from Soulby Westmorland! Thanks again, Gillian
