I know Frances Webster married June 1865 to Philip James Reynolds in Yarmouth. On all the census forms she says born about 1843 in Gorleston, Suffolk, as was her brother Thomas Webster. I cannot find her birth or who her parents were. I also cannot find P J Reynolds who seems to come from Middlesex, London, he was a fishman. Can anyone help please.

starter for 10 - Philip R (according to the 1871 census) was from Barking in Essex ....
Frances - Dob 1847 - 1871 Census; 1849 - 1881 Census
lets have a look ....
-
hmmmm, no births recorded in the MUTFORD RD (correct Regn District for Gorleston ... )
Do you have that Marriage Cert ?
-
I wonder if she's the FANNY Webster - c1845 (parents James and Mary) in the 1861 census of Gorleston
1861 - RG9/1189; Folio: 106; Page: 37
Tee House Lane
Father James is also a Fisherman.
I note that Thomas c1842 is a Seaman, away on a vessel ...
-
The family are there in 1851, as is Fanny.
Thomas isnt - theres a lad in Bungay, a pupil at a Latin, French & Music scholl, but born Beccles.
So how have you established that Fran and Tho are siblings ?
-
This may be Philip R in 1861 ... ah-ha, the same vessel as Thomas Reynolds, born 1842 Gorleston !!
RG9/4448; Folio: 95; Page: - Swad Bank, North Sea
The ANN, was a Fishing Smack, London Registered.
The Census schedule was due to be delivered back in Gorleston ..... so its deffo our man !
Born c1842, 'Lon Middx' again ....

You really need the Marriage Cert to pin this down - with Father's names ....
-
Thanks everyone I obviously will have to send for the marriage certificate.
I would like to know all this info as Frances and Philip´s child called Eliza was my grandmother.

Everyone ? Only little me so far ...
Did you miss my question ?
So how have you established that Fran and Tho are siblings ?
Hopefully the Cert will give the information needed :)

Quess work. In 1861 both Philip Reynolds and Thomas Webster were on a fishing boat together. It says Thomas Webster was from Gorleston and Philip married Frances Webster from Gorleston, so assume that is how Philip met her through Thomas.
Sorry I did not realise that it was only you that answered my queries as this is the first time I have posted anything. Thanks very much.

Hi, one of my family Joseph Bentley was also born in Middlesex and worked on the drifter fleet out of Barking. In the 1870's (need to check exactly), the fleet moved to gorleston/yarmouth as the cost of operating from the london port area became very high, and many of the crews stayed with the fleet. This probably was how Philip came to Gorleston.
-
Thanks very much I have now found Philip´s marriage and sent for his certificate and on it was his father and found out where Philip comes from in London but I still cannot find his birth. I am trawling through lots of things on the net but have not yet found his birth although it says London Borough Stepney.

the 1841 census shows a 10 year old Philip Reynolds as being a pupil at Bancroft's Hospital, Stepney, Mile End Old Town, Tower Hamlets, Middlesex. No other Reynolds are listed for this address. The only other Middlesex listing was for a Phillip aged 5 in Marylebone. Hope this helps. TJ

Thanks I did not have that info about the hospital but I did have Philip Reynolds born in 1832 and obvious he died in hospital.
They had another Philip as shown in the 1851 census aged 11 born in Borough Southwark.
