There are three couples having children Baptised in East Langdon about 1860s/1870s:
John Pierce & Elizabeth Wellard.
John Pierce & Mary Jane Wellard
John & Mary Pierce Wellard

And in the late 1700s/early 1800s:
Gladman & Sarah Wellard.

I love the name Gladman
I wish he was mine, it would make a nice change from William & Thomas!

You guys have certainly been helpful!
I am curious and confused about the middle name Pierce/Pearce.
Would that have been inherited from an in-laws surname?
And Gladman??
Is there anything out there about Nelly Aylett and her family.
Thanks

looking back at john p in 1871 the line goes straight thru his age, so think when transcribed on the text it has been written as 50 i would say then that the John in 81 and 71 are the sam John AS THE OTHER INFO I POSTED


have fun  !

Thanks for that.
Does that mean that John P Wellard would have been about 35 or 36 in the 1871 census?

Hi Scott

A middle name that looks like a surname is usually the mother's maiden name.
Or sometimes a maiden name further back, such as the grandmother or even greatgrandmother.
It's very useful when tracing back, helps you to find the right family

I am sorry to be a pain but can someone check to see if Basil John Theodore Wellard's
birth certificate mentions his mother's maiden name, as only then can I be sure that we
are barking up the right tree.
