I have a copy of entry in All Saints, Poplar, Middlesex Church register 15 Apr 1849, of James Whitrow to Caroline Mothersole. Her Father is Phillip Mothersole (Builder) a witness to the marriage is Alethea Mothersole.
I have since found on a LDS family search: Husband, Phillip Mothersole. Wife, Elizabeth Borley. Daughter, Alethea Mothersole, C. 12 Jun 1828 Suffolk County Bts, Suffolk, England.
I am inclined to think this is the same family and that Alethea is Caroline's younger sister. I would greatly appreciate any help re further info on the family.
Caroline with two children aged 5 and 3 arrived in Melbourne, Australia Oct. 1855 aged 37 but tragically died some two and a Half years later.

This looks like the famly in 1841. No sign of Caroline. The 41 does not record relationships nor place of birth. Adult ages are often rounded to nearest 5.
A volunteer from the Suffolk Surnames List, offers lookups from the original Livermere registers, so it would be well worth contacting her.

hi,
Mothersole also rang a bell with me, I have a martha mothersole who married george sadler in 1852, december 1/4, i have no other info on this other than i think they had 2 children Albert, and thamra.
I can find no trace of them in the 1861 census and by the 1871 census george is married again.
Hope this might help.
William james.

I am related to Caroline and James Whitrow who migrated to Australia. I am their great great granddaughter. I am looking for information re both Whitrow and Mothersole families in the UK

James born c1821 Middlesex England death 1902.married Caroline Mothersole 15April 1849.
No more info on James,I have quite a lot of info on the mothersoles.Are you on Ancestry or Genes Reunited?I have trees on both and there are a lot of others on them as well.
Susan

Thank you Susan. I am not on either Ancestry or Genenes Reunited. I have concentrated on Australian family history and have only recently ventured further afield. I have not been able to ascertain when James immigrated to Australia. The Unassisted Inward Passenger List for the 'Caractacus', which left England on 23 June 1855 and arrived in Melbourne in October 1855, lists
Alfred James Whitrow, aged 3 years, Alice Whitrow aged 5 years and Caroline Whitrow aged 35 years. Caroline had a third child Katherine born 1 September 1856 at 5 pm at Raglan, Vic. Caroline died 22 March 1858 aged 37 years.
James Whitrow married Eliza Drinkwater, aged 36 years, on 25 June 1865.

sorry for the delay in replying,Susan has just had the last of a four cycle chemo and is feeling a bit poorly.This shouldn't last too long .I think he was a labourer but I don't know my way around Sue's tree . no doubt she will let you know if I am wrong.

Hi,
Just checking to see how Susan is going?

susan passed away in 2012.I'm sorry I thought I had all the angles covered . I am continuing to keep her account open in the rather forlorn hope that someone else in the family takes an interest

Hi Dave,
I am so sorry to hear that. I was hoping that the chemo did the trick. Much love to you all xx
Meantime, good luck with someone else taking the baton!
Cheers Jodie
