Hi
Can you help me please?
I am trying to locate a William (Henry?) BENNETT & family.
He was born on or about 1839 at Shelton,Staffordshire.
This information has been gleaned from the 1901 & 1881 census & BMD Certificates.
Regards
BenB

Hi BenB
Welcome to Rootschat
We hope your stay with us helps to find more ancestors
Just looked on the 1891 census for a William Bennett associated with Shelton, Staffordshire - it only came back with this one:
See scan below - near the bottom
Chris in 1066Land
-
He was at Hornsey in Middlesex in 1891
47 St Joseph Rd
William Bennett, head 52, born Staffordshire
Maybe Chris will oblige with an attachment for you and save my typing! ;D
I'll see if I can turn him up on the 1861 but it might take a while as there is no name index and Shelton was a fair size.

Hi
Thank you for your efforts but...........
what with being this my first post & chat room use perhaps it is the way I requested the information?
The Middlesex side of the family I am happy with and have fully researched as best I can the 1901 & 1881 census'
I am now trying to trace the father of William Henry, Rose, Florence & Arthur Edmund etc (these were born in Portsea) when their father (the one I am trying to trace) was in the Royal Marine Artillery a musician.
It is their father William in the RG11 & RG13 who was born in Shelton, Staffordshire in 1839ish so he would have been 3yrs of age I am hoping to find his parents and where they were living in Shelton etc.
Having just an estimated year (1839) & an area (Shelton)Other than the censuses is there another way?
Thanks once again

Hi BenB
Nothing wrong with your posting at all.
I think that Chris and I both thought that since we couldn't help out with the 41/51 we would send you the 1891 as you didn't seem to have it and most people go for the "set".
Apologies for sending unsolicited goods! ;D
Hope someone can come up with what you want.
(Thanks Chris for the image - it is always nice to see it I think)
ps Do you have a marriage certificate for your William? That would most likley give you his father's name and occupation would help with locating him in the census. Does cost though :(

this is the only william about the right age the other 2 are 8 and 18

My thanks to
Megabelly for the 1851 census, Chris in1066land, & Gardener
You are right about the set - ta
The details of 1851 I am sure are spot on.
At the LDS/IGI I found details of William & Hannah but was unable to confirm if it was my family and now I am pretty sure.
Will the address of 228 Prospect Place help with the 1841 census?
Thanks I am really chuffed

Hi BenB
I've just joined.
I noticed one of your interests is WOOLLAMS.
I too am researching this surname.
My ancestors came to Staffordshire in the mid 1700's from Hanmer in Flintshire, particularly those in Stafford itself in the mid 1840's onwards.
Willing to exchange information, maybe we'll find a link. Not many of us WOOLLAMS's around.

Hi Ben
I came across your entry on this site.
It is your surname which interests me as I am looking at the WOOLLAMS side of my family.
I'm the 7th generation who have lived in (or within a 10 mile radius) of Stafford.
Let me know if I can help you with information held at Stafford Record Office.
Regards
