Derbyshire / Re: Mary Allen
« on: Saturday 04 February 12 17:13 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you again. There is no other Mary Allen born at Harpurhill at that time so must be my Mary. Perhaps her age 23 on the copy of the marriage certificate could either be an error and it should read 25 or she thought she was 23

I can't think how this cannot be the Mary i am seeking

Thank you so much

So grateful for your replies. the marriage is the correct one for Mary and i have not been able to find her on the earlier census with the exception of 1881 where there is a Mary Allen who was born Harpurhill, Derbyshire. I did hope this was the Mary i am looking for but the age was different, so continued looking for Derby Hill

I didn't read the handwritten entry so will check that, it seems i did find the right Mary?

Again, thank you both

Derbyshire / Mary Allen

I hope someone can help please

I have a Mary Allen who married in Wales 1902. The marriage certificate gives her age as 23 and her father William Allen

The 1911 Census gives her place of birth as 'Derby Hill'  i cannot find this place but her grandaughter claims Mary was born in Derbyshire so if anyone knows of a Derby Hill i would be most grateful if you would advise me please

Many thanks

Devon / DENSLEY / SHOEBROOK familes
« on: Friday 05 November 10 11:47 GMT (UK)  »
I am a Grandaughter of Charles Edward Densley b 1891 Exeter,Devon. Died 1928 Aberfan, Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorganshire. His parents were Charles Densley b 1843.Exeter d. 1916 and Emily Densley ne Shoebrook b 1850 Exeter d. 1925

Charles Edward died when my mother was 7, his wife died when my Mother was 2 days old.

I would dearly like to have a photograph of either Charles Edward Densley, his parents, or a close relative of either the Densleys or Shoebrooks. I have never met a member of the Densley or Shoebrook family and would so like a photograph to place in my family album. I have no idea what my Grandfather Charles or any member of his family looked like, which is rather sad.

If anyone can help please contact me

Thank you

I am grateful for this info, i will check all my records and see if i have made this error with other members of this family, it may explain why i have not been able to find  younger brother in this family, i have been looking for him for over three years!

Hi Lilly, your 1871 find says born Gwalchmai, which is a good few miles away from Trewalchmai. It does seem unusual though, for two tailors with the same name born so close and the same year.
I'll look again tomorrow.

Skewy.

Hi Skewy

Thanks for this, i did not know Trewalchmai and Gwalchmai were several miles apart. Thought it was the same place!

Hi Skewy

The William Thomas i am looking for was born 1834 Trewalchmai, Angelsey, eldest son of William and Mary Thomas who had eight sons, six of the sons were stonemasons like their father, but the eldest son William was a tailor in Trewalchmai in 1851 and 1861 living at home with his parents.

1871, no William Thomas, tailor in Anglesey, and no death, and no other William Thomas brn Trewalchmai or  tailor on Anglesey

I found William Thomas, Tailor brn 1835 Trewalchmai, Anglesey, living alone in Ebenezer, district Llanddeiniolen, Caernarvonshire.

I think this could by my William Thomas, when his parents married on Angelsey his fathers place of residence was Llanddeiniolen.

His youngest brother Hugh Thomas brn 1854 Trewalchmai, Anglesey was living in Llanbeblig, Caernarvon in 1881..

And their only sister married a sailor Robert Roberts brn Caernarvon 1852, i cannot find anything on him, too many Robert Roberts, i do know he died between 1897 and 1900.

It seems strange William Thomas a tailor from a family of stonemasons moved to Caernarvon and was living alone.

I am having problems with finding  three other family members who i just have a hunch died in Caernarvon. I am sure there is one link which i need to find and it will knock down a few brick walls.

Thank you for replying

I am looking for William Thomas, B. 1834 Trewalchmai, Anglesey

1871 Shows him living alone in Ebenezer, Caernarvon, occupation Tailor

After this nothing. He did have a younger brother living in Llanbeblig, Caernarvon in 1881

Any suggestions please? i have run out of ideas as to what happened to him

There is a William Thomas 1881 Census living in Liverpool  occupation Sail maker, and lodging with others from Caernarvon and a landlady from Anglesey
