Orphan Willie Woods – Help Please.

[Gadget]

Right - tackling this in a different way!

I've looked for Wood/Woods in the Ulverston area in 1861. The onle couple who were having children were:

Sunderland Terrace, Ulverston
RG9/3168 Folio 14 Page 22

John Wood, 27, Butcher, b. Cumberland, Drigg
Sarah, 23, b. Lancashire, Kirkby (?)
Fanny, 7 months, b. Ulverston


There is also an interesting possibility:

?Sontergate, Ulverston
RG9/3168 Folio 76 Page 12

Betsy Wilson, wid, 51, Laundress, b. Lancs, ? Egeton cum Newland
James, s, unm, 22, shoemaker, b. Lancs, ?Greenodd
Thomas,s, unm. 20, brush maker (app),  b. Lancs,  Greenodd
John, s, unm, 16, clogger (ap), b. Ulverston
James C Wood, boarder, 2, b. Ulverston*

* another one to scrap - the C is for Christopher

A friend of Ernest's perhaps?      Wouldn't anything be easier than finding Ernest??

Have you wondered about the gap between Henry's birth 1895'ish and Charles 1901'ish?

no need to answer....it was a rhetorical question

Hi, Willy's son et al...
Did anyone ever see this publication called "Lobb Family" ?
Listed as a publication under the name Thistlethwaite...there is some information listed under Wilfred, but likely all that you have already, but you never know if there may be some little extra thing of note...

Hi
Thanks for this.
It is a reference to me and one of my brothers.
I tried to access the website but can't seem to get all.
I will have to get together with Genie next week and get her to help me.
Take care
Roger

Did Willie tell his son anything about any memories in Wales - or the trip to the boat or anything like that at all?

I have a good memory - I can remember significant things that happened to me from about 18 months old. This journey must have been traumatic for him.

Just wondering 
Hi Gadget
Thanks for all your doing, it's very exciting and I think some info seems to be getting close.
Unfortunately when I tried to talk to my Dad about what he really remembered I either got extreme bitter anger from him about his Father putting him in a "home" or extreme emotion and crying about his Mother dying. He said he could remember standing by the gravesite when she was buried and that it was the most alone feeling in his life.
So was not able to discuss much.
He said he thought he had vague memories of the boat trip but nothing concrete.
I know not much to go on.
Thanks again for all your doing.

Roger, did you mean you have seen the publication already?   There are some people trying to find it for us....in the Quinte Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society Research Library. They said they hope to have something for us by after the weekend...
If you have seen the publication...please let me know so I can tell them to not go to the trouble?

Oh, is there another listing with you in it? This is the one they are looking for :

THISTLEWAITE f@ca.on.people_in_books_category-Lobb Family
THISTLEWAITE Albert page 8
THISTLEWAITE Amelia Jane {LOBB} 1869-1961 pages 5,7,8
THISTLEWAITE Henry pages 5,8
THISTLEWAITE Wilfred page 8

Hi Roger

I will try and find as much as possible for you on this side of the pond .

I'm Welsh originally and I have cousins in Canada and I have lived over there. I would love to solve the puzzle for you. For your father's memory and for you.

By very best wishes and thoughts

Hi Gadget
I apologize, I am new to this and am floundering around.
I don't think I have what your talking about.
When I read your mesage earlier I tried to access the site on your mesage but couldn't do more than read the names but couldn't get past that.
I really need Genie here holding my hand and leading me thru.
So I don't think the info your waiting for is something I have already and I sincerely hope I don't have you doing something for nothing.
Thank you for all your doing.
Roger

Hi Roger

Was it a link that J.J has put up about the Lobb family?

I;ve ordered the two birth certificates of the William and James who we think might be your father and uncle. I'll get them next week.

LOL, she's probably still digging out from the snow
