Title: Quinney-Wheeler
Post by: wheelersearch on Monday 17 January 11 10:00 GMT (UK)
Hi, i'm new to this site. I'm trying to trace my husband's paternal grandfather, Charles William Quinney-Wheeler. c 1885 - 1916. He married Rose Nott (B 1889 in Barnstaple), in 1912 in Glamorgan. They had 3 children, William Charles, Doris and Gladys. The Quinney reference seems to disappear before that. Any ideas?

Marriage register has:
March 1912 Newport, Monmouthshire Vol 11a, Page 302

Nott, Rose
Wheeler, Charles Q


Had a look for births, 1884-1886, but no Charles Q Wheeler anywhere.
Neither can I find a Charles Quinney anywhere!
There are a couple of Charles Quiney births.

Do you know where he was born?

March 1885, Cheltenham: Quiney, Charles Henry
June 1886, Birmingham: Qiney, Charles Henry


Finally, I can't find his death.
Where was he when he died?

thanks, i've been trying to get a connection through Rose Nott, have found lots about her family tree, but no other reference to charles. living family members havent been helpful so far, but there was a suggestion that there an english or irish connection. family rumour is that the name william charles was repeated in different order over several generations.

Do you have a copy of the 1912 marriage cert? If not, it may be worth your while getting one as it should give name & occupation for Charles' father.

Hello wheelersearch
Welcome to Rootschat:)

There's a possible family in Roath, Cardiff in 1901:

Charles Q Wheeler age 24 born Coventry 1897  Ironworks Labourer?
Eliza Q Wheeler age 20 born Harwich, Essex
Charles Q Wheeler age 12 month born Builth Wells, Breconshire

RG13 Piece 4976 Folio 155 Page 55

Marriage of Charles Quinnie Wheeler and Elizabeth Prindle in 1897
Cardiff 11a 506

Can only find William Wheeler born 1878 Coventry  :-\ but there's a Charles William Wheeler born 1863, which is quite a bit older than expected (not unusual in family history!)

Check out freebmd: http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

1911 free index finds Charles Quinney Wheeler in Newport, age 33, born 1878

Kind regards
Morgan
