Wileman Measham, Derbys (Leics)1819

[carol59]

many thanks Al and Wendy for your help with this one, your info is helping me build up a picture that hopefully i can work on and come up with some positive results. 

Wendy, thank you for taking the time and trouble to get the information on richard and susannah for me, im sure it will all prove very helpful.
i think that the William you picked up on the 1851 leics census wd be too young to have been richards father but he may well be a relative. 

Al, i think you are right i will have to take a good look at the measham parish registers, i will have to make another trip northwards and visit the leicester record office at some point and see what i can come up with.

many thanks again for your help.

Just found your post ref: Richard Wileman.
Although I don't have any information on him for you, I do have a Mary Jane Wileman in my tree born 1853 d/o Richard & Mary at Measham who married Joseph Wright.

I do however plan a visit to Leics record office in the new year if you have not already got the information you need I would be willing to look for you then.

Hi May, Thanks for your interest in the Wilemans but it was Carol 59 who sent in the original request. I am sure she will take you up on your offer if you contact her

Hi mary, sorry about the delay in responding as just found the message.  my richard is different to your one as my richard is on the 1851 church gresley census site with his wife milly (called miriam on there), im sure there will be a connection somwhere along the way, pls send me your tree as a private message and i can give you more details of my family tree if you wd like them.  many thanks for your kind offer for leics record office, i too am travelling there from berkshire in mid jan so will hopefully pick up some info myself.  hope to hear from you.  carol

Hi Debbie, thanks very much for the info, i had come across them before and im fairly sure that Wm and Susannah are my direct ancestors (grandparents x 4), have looked on the original 1841 census and it reads 60yrs of age on there which helps to confirm it.  Think in 1851 that the old William with Benjamin and Elizabeth is the same William as the one in 1841  as Susannah died in 1848 and think Elizabeth is his daughter tho i notice Williams occupation appears to have changed.  i know for sure that my william was a weaver at some point.  if you have any connections with these families please let me know.  best wishes carol
