Suffolk / Re: William Thomas CUTHBERT born Ipswich

The William baptised in the Cosford Workhouse was the son of Mary.  Don't forget that ages shown in censuses are notoriously wrong!
My son-in-law is descended from Francis James Cuthbert (gt gt grandfather), then Lewis Cuthbert (gt grandfather), then Ada Maude Cuthbert (grandmother).
Yes, I did find the three children who died.
No, I nothing nothing else of William before his marriage. Only what Ada told me about him being raised by his brother.

Thank you for replying. I'm actually doing this family research for my son-in-law who is a gt gt gt grandson of William Thomas Cuthbert.
There were actually four Cuthbert children in Cosford Workhouse in the 1841 census; Mary Ann aged 15, James aged 9, Charlotte aged 7 and William also given as 7.  They may or may not have been related to each other. In 1851 I believe William is the one living with Charles and Catherine. I know it says he's their son, but I think he may have been Charles' brother.   Charles would only have been 17 when William was born. I have no proof of this, of course.  Charles and the Mary Ann Cuthbert (from the previous census) were brother and sister.  Their parents were Charles Cuthbert and Susanna nee Cook.  Charles was baptised in Cosford Workhouse 11 Aug 1819. Mary Ann was baptised 26 Nov 1826 at St.Clement's Church, Ispwich.
So...no further forward really!

It was through you, Ros, and the clue about his brother Jacob.  They were the ones you found in the 1851 census.  It just said Bedford as their birth county, so I looked up Jacob in 1861, then living in Kent.  He gave his place of birth as Potton. So I looked up Potton in Hugh Wallis' Batch Numbers and found the whole family.  Jacob's middle name was Miller, his grandmother's name I think. William Tear married Elizabeth Miller in 1790 at Potton.  In the 1861 census Jacob is shown as Jacob.M. Tear. By that census his father William had died (in 1856).  Richard and Jacob's mother was Judith Richards.
Can't confirm that William was the son of William and Elizabeth though as I can't find a baptism for him c.1792.
So thanks again for your help.  :)

Thanks, Sue. Yes it does look like I may have to get his marriage or death cert.  The name Angella was a mistranscription, she was actually Jane Mazella.
NZ death certs are absolutely wonderful. They not only name the date, place and cause of death, as British ones do, but also the name of parents, maiden name of mother, occupation of father, when and where buried, where born and how long they have lived in NZ, when married, age at marriage, to whom married, age of widow, number of children still living and their gender and ages!
So I think I might send for his death certificate!

No, I don't have the marriage cert. That was information someone passed on to me.

I've found him!  He was the son of William and Judith Tear of Potton, Bedfordshire.
Thank you so much for all your help.

Thank you, John.  Yes, they seem to be the only Tear family in Nelson. I do know the names of the two (as then) unnamed children.  There is quite a lot of information about them in Papers Past, but it's getting them one step further back to where Richard came from that's my problem.  Thanks for your help.

Thanks, Lu.  Yes, I did see his family on the LDS site. My ancestor was the unnamed female in 1857...typical!  I have also seen the other records you mention, and found them very interesting in regards to my other Nelson family, but not the Tears.
I went through Papers Past, Ros, and totally missed those references to Richard Tear!
Thanks heaps for that. I'll chase those up on Ancestry. Brother Jacob is a good clue.
Thanks very much both of you for your help and time.  I appreciate it.
