Gloucestershire / Re: Withers/Tipton family St Paul Bristol
« on: Wednesday 15 August 12 15:18 BST (UK)  »
I have now obtained the death certificate of William Withers and this confirms that he died in the Eastville Workhouse in Bristol on 20.11.1914.

The informant was his son Edward.  I have discovered where his wife Ann Tipton is buried but he is not with her.

Is it possible that he ended up in a paupers grave and are there any records kept of such burials??

I would appreciate some help or a pointer as where to look  :D

Gloucestershire / Withers/Tipton family St Paul Bristol

My great great grandfather William Withers was born in Bristol in 1843, with some help from members I discovered that his family then moved to the Gorbals in Glasgow for some reason unknown to me.
William Withers married in Scotland and had six children some born in scotland and then must have returned to Bristol where my Great grandfather George Withers was born.

Sadly I think I have discovered that my gggrandad William as per 1911 census was in the workhouse in fishponds Bristol. This upset me and I could not understand why his children allowed this to happen. My ggrandad was was living in Wales at this time. William Withers died in 1914 I assume in the workhouse.

Does anyone have information on William Withers other children as I can't seem to trace them after their birth, they are Charles, Henry, Eliza, Amelia Ann ( dod 1856) and Thomas Withers

Many Thanks

Hi Carole

I had registered, but it's ok now I got a hit just using William Withers  ;D Thanks very much for your help and Linda too.

I am thinking looking at the record that they may have runaway to get married as Ann Tipton was only 18 and possibly pregnant!!!  ( scandal in the family  ;) which could explain why all other children were born back in Bristol.

regards

Hi Carole

Thanks for your help, I had thought that they married in Scotland but couldn't find anything on ancestry.com. I didn't know about SP so thanks very much for that.

I have looked on SP but it keeps coming back as no match ??? I discovered Ann Tipton via her son George Withers ( My great grandfather ) marriage certificate when it stated that his father's occupation was a chainmaker, so it was pur luck I found my Withers family at all.

I am assuming William went to Glasgow to work in the docks and then moved back to Bristol where he was born to work in the docks.

Sorry if this is confusing but I am also confused  ;D
