Looking for details of father for the marriage of Edward Wellings and Ann Jasper in Kidderminster in 1847. Edward was from Shropshire.
-
It is possible that it was registry office / registrar attended, the ref no 522 is nearly the highest number page in that quarter. :-\
-
More than likely. Can't find a confirmed baptism for him; only possibly in the 1841 and then 1851 census; so was hoping for the marriage transcript to find father's name.
-
1851 has his place of birth as Honeybury, Salop I wonder where that is supposed to be
Ann was born Bridgnorth and daughter Emma born Hoo Brook
-
Might be Onibury?
1841 census has an Edward Wellings aged 11 at Onibury with possible parents Roger and Mary.
Might that be the one you are looking for?
-
Mary either isn't Edward's mother, or he was actually born a James
Roger Wellings, residence Onibury
Mary James, residence Shrewsbury St Chad's
Marriage 26 Nov 1836, St Chad's, Shropshire, England
-
Roger Wellings and Mary - probable uncle and aunt. Edward was shown as a M.S. in 1841 census
-
Do you have a death date for Edward Wellings or did he migrate abroad?
