Orphan Willie Woods – Help Please.

[Gadget]

I am now breaking my vow and coming in as my main persona again.

This is what we have from the Censuses:

In 1891:

I've had a quick look through the thread and don't think this has been found before - not surprised really as they were indexed as Flett but quite clearly Trott:

1891

RG12/4453 Folio 6 Page 6
Globe Inn, Cowbridge

Henry Trott, 45, Licensed Victualler, b. Somerset, North Petherton
Ann, 34, b.Somerset, North Petherton
Ann K, 14, scholar, b. Glamorgan, Cowbridge
Henry W, 10, scholar, b. Glamorgan, Cowbridge
Sarah A, 5,  scholar, b. Glamorgan, Cowbridge
Susannah, 3, b. Glamorgan, Cowbridge

And 15 lodgers

Ann Kate married Charles Wood in 1898

In 1901, the Trott family

Now here's a turn up for the books:

in 1901:

RG13/5047 Folio 25 Page 41
Trott's Lodging House, Cowbridge

Henry Trott, 60, Coal Merchant and Lodging House Keeper, b. Somerset, North Petherton
Ann, 50, b. Somerset, North Petherton
Henry W, s, 20, saddler, b. Glamorgan, Cowbridge
Annie, d,15, b. Glamorgan, Cowbridge (Sarah A on the 1891)
Minnie, d,13, b. Glamorgan, Cowbridge (Susannah on 1891)
Henry Wood, Grandson, 2, b. Glamorgan, Cowbridge

So is this the same Henry who is down as aged 6 with Charles and Kate and a duplicate entry (it often happened) or what

In 1901, The Wood family:

1901 Wales Census, Bridgend, Glamorgan
Charles Wood   41        Head    Painter    born Barrow in Furness Lancs
Kate Wood       39        Wife                 born Glamorgan Cowbridge
Henry Wood      6         Son                  born Edinburgh
William Wood    8mths   Son                   born Glamorgan Cowbridge

This last one is probably a wrongly recorded age for Kate (Ann Kate)

Yes it is confusing. And the Annie confused me there. But there is a problem with the birth years for Henry. Maybe one should look for second Wood Trott connection/marriage.

On both mine and my hubbys side sisters from one family have been known to marry brothers from another.

On the birth certificates, the mother is given as both Kate Ann Trott and Ann Kate Trott. The father is Charles Wood.

Charles Wood married Ann Kate Trott in 1898.

I believe this to be Charles on the 1891 Wales census

Wales, Glamorgan, Eglwysilan
Household # 180
Address: looks like Porrott Inn
John Jenkins Head
Barbara Jenkins wife
Barbarra Jenkins daughter
Charles Wood age 21 single boarder born Devon England occupation may be employed as coal Haulaur?
William Preston boarder

Not sure about this one, Linda 

He was 41 on the 1901 and born Barrow in Furnace.

I've ordered the marriage cert so that we can at least get the parents and ages sorted.


You Canadians are going to have to give me a big party when I get over in the next couple of years

If we really trusted census listings we'd think these were all separate families!   

Wow, Gadget...you're headed here? Make sure you look at the right scale of map before you come...haha
Hubby's cousin wanted to visit Montreal for the races...Only a little jaunt according to their map....
I told them we can fit around double the whole U.K. into our Province alone...still didn't sink in until the sore bum from travelling....
Bet you've decided to come mid-winter, what with all this talk about the cold and snow and such! 

What I saw was an Anne Kate Addicott : submission born perhaps to Kate's uncle Richard.?..just wanted to satisfy my curiousity...
There are many Addicotts covered on the IGI...saw no extracted, but many with complete dates....so that
should be fun for Roger to look through... and obviously submitted by his distant rellie as well, if a name can be found... J.J.

Gadget has lived in Ont. before so she knows the distances 

She's on for a good dinner at least for her help

I remember going on the Rapido (was it?) from Montreal to Toronto. Got to Toronto to find no luggage where I'd left it.

Investigations found that because it still had the Montreal airport stickers on it, they'd taken it off at the airport station 


Had to wait hours for it to be put on the next train. Not nice.

I did get as far as Lake Huron once but I spent most of my time in Southern Ontario. Spent time in Montreal as well and loved it!


I'm trying to draw an annotated chart of where I'm at with Willie's family - not sure how long it will take me. i do wish they wouldn't tell fibs on censuses though    They all did it. My Scottish lot were always lying about their ages and changing their names

Henry Trott and Ann Addicott's known children (all Bridgend RD) :

Ann Kate -  reg March q, 1877 - aged 4 on the 1881 census, 14 on the 1891 and 39  on the 1901

Henry William  - reg Dec q, 1880 - wrongly down as aged 5 on 1881 census when he was probably 5 months and listed after Ann Kate 

Sarah Ann - reg March q, 1886 - aged 5 on the 1891 as Sarah A but is Annie on the 1901

Susan Amelia - reg Sept q, 1887 - aged 3 on the 1891 as Susannah but is Minnie on the 1901


I still think the Henry Wood (2 and 6 on the 1901) are a duplicate entry and the ages are just wrongly entered in some way or other.

PS - don't hold your breath waiting for this annotated diagram/chart - it could take a few days

I'll concentrate on the Trott line  in the diagram. I've got some Somerset resources because OH has ancestors from down there and as I know the geography of down there and the Glamorgan area it should be fairly accurate.

Head getting muzzy though - the antibiotics are affecting me more than the symptoms they're supposed to cure
