Title: Where is Thomas Wellham in 1861 Census
Post by: peterbroscombe51 on Wednesday 20 November 13 14:21 GMT (UK)
Hello,
       Thomas Wellham/Welham was born in third quarter of 1859, in West Ham. I have been able to find him in 1871 - 1901 census returns, but not 1861. Does anybody know where he was in 1861 census?
       If nobody can find him in 1861, can somebody tell me his parents?
       Thank you

To save us all looking it up, in 1871 he is in West Ham workhouse age 13


Though if born at end of 1859, would actually only be 11 at time of 1871 census, if it is the same person as the birth reg given.

  1861   I think this  is  them  transcribed as WELLAND,   original  looks  like  Wellham ,   but the   'fancy'   ending  of the  'M'   was   presumably   mistook   for a  'd'   by the transcriber

Class: RG 9; Piece: 1055; Folio: 66; Page: 10


 & Bennets Terrace   West Ham

George Welland  35   born   Suffolk    Railway   worker
 Mary Welland  33   born  Hadbury   Suffolk
 Harriet Welland  10   born Hadbury 
 Henry Welland  11   born Hadbury
 George Welland  4    born West  Ham
 Thomas Welland  2

        Thank you for your reply. I use genes for my research and unfortunately I cannot find the information you have provided. Where did you research it from?

         Did Thomas marry?  if so, marriage certificate will give his fathers name.

On GR you will find this family indexed as Williams. Search for father George Williams born 1826 keyword West Ham.

JenB,
       Thank you for finding the Welland family on GR, it is the same and I believe it is the family I was looking for.

This seems promising, but the only way you can be really certain is to buy Thomas's 1859 birth certificate - if you are sure that is the correct birth for 'your' Thomas.
