Hi,
I'm looking for anyone researching the following ELSE families:
Rees Else c. 1741 Tenby m. Ann Thomas c. 1742 Bristol (Married on Nov 19, 1764 Bristol) had children:
Henry Else c. 1766 Bristol
Richard Else c. 1776 Bristol**
Thomas Else c. 1778 Bristol
Ann Else C. 1781 Bristol - married Edward Webb
**Richard Else and Sarah Rogers were married on Nov 22, 1796 in Walcot, Bath had children:
Richard Nance Else c. 1797 Bath*
Eliza Else c. 1798 Bath
Emma Else c. 1799 Bath
Laura Else c. 1801 Bath
William Else c. 1802 Bath
*Richard Nance Else c. 1797 Bath, Somerset who married an Eliza Felicia (late Street) c. 1799 Bath Somerset. They were married on July 3, 1821 in Bathwick.
They had children:
Emily Maria Else c. 1830 Bath, Somerset (was a teacher, never married)
John Edward Else c. 1828 Bath, Somerset (was a Clerk/Vicar)married Frances Ann Rodd before 1856. Had one child Arthur R?B. Else c. 1856
Felicia Eliza Else c. 1823 Bath, Somerset. Was a teacher, married Alfred John Perry 1859, he was a Vicar. They had one child who died at age 4. Alfred John Perry died before 1881. In 1881 she was a widow and living with her brother John.
Richard Charles Else c. 1824 Bath, Somerset married Zillah Rebecca Raggat 1850, had one child Zillah Rebecca M. Else 1851. His wife died in 1851, possibly during childbirth. Richard was an Engineer. He died in 1905.
Richard Nance Else also has a son George Edward Else c. 1845/46 born in Paris, France, who was a Civil Engineer. I don't think he was the son of Eliza, as she is alone in the census records from 1841 until 1871 when she dies, although each census always states her as married, he is never with her.
Richard is no where to be found in any census until the census of 1881 when he is living in London with his son George Edward Else and George's wife Harriet, and their son Edward. Richard Nance Else is noted as widow in the 1881 census.
George Edward Else and Harriet have two more children....Harriet Beatrice Else in Horsford, Yorkshire, 1873 and George William Else Forest Gate, Essex 1876.
I am wondering if Richard Nance Else was in Paris all those years, and who the mother of George Edward Else is.
Would love to hear of any connections to the family.
Thanks,
TM
