James Wrench born 1820/Elizabeth Humphreys born 1816 - both Kingsley

[JDGen]

And another, same source, James WALKER m Mary HUMPHRIES Runcorn All Saints, 1856, C12/3/73

When agric_lad comes back on maybe you will be able to sort out these families.

Thanks very much Jean, I think you have nudged a whole load of pennies to drop!  Though it will of course be interesting to see what agric_lad makes of all of this!  I might even be related to him!!

If I have this right William Humphreys married Elizabeth Marrow in 1833, Elizabeth being born in 1815-16 in Norley.  (By the way did you find William's dob anywhere?)  This first marriage produced 2 daughters Ann and Mary Humphreys (or is it spelled Humphries?)  Ann married William Shallcross in 1855 (any idea when she was born?) and had a son William Shallcross in 1855 in Acton.  The other sister Mary - whom I thought was a Wrench and who is my gggran - was born in 1838-9 in Crowton and married James Walker born 1833 in Kingsley and went on to have a large family of Walkers.

So when William Humphreys died in 1839, in 1850 Elizabeth Marrow Humphreys went on to marry James Wrench who was born 1820-1 in Kingsley.  They then had 2 sons Daniel born 1857 and John Wrench born 1859-60.

That's my reading of what you've found - so I suppose now I'm wondering whether there are any other Humphrey and Wrench half-siblings I'm not aware of...  I'll eagerly await Agric-lad's news of further ancestors!

Thanks very much to you both,

Ian

Hi There folks:
Yes, have got all / most of the info you need. Not sure how best to post it.  Perhaps Ligurian could post his e-mail address and then I can send a gedcom file / get in touch directly.
Cheers

I am also descended from Mary Humphries - she was my gggrandmother through her daughter Eliza Walker.  I think that William Humphries her father, was born 1808 in Norley. Thanke for all the info on Elizabeth's second marriage. ErrorSPAM REPORT THIS POST AS SPAM (Use 'Report to Moderator'). DO NOT CLICK ON ANY LINKS IN THIS POST. DO NOT REPLY TO THIS PERSON.][/color]

Hi all
Not sure if this is relevant but I have a similar match with your Humphries/Shallcross. Not sure if it is correct or not as a match with you.

I have a James Shallcross marrying an Ann Humphries in 1855 in Frodsham. They had children William Henry, Frank, Agnes, James, Alice and Richard.

Anything match?
