Hello everyone, I am trying to find the parents of Walton Harry EUSTON who, by the Australian certificates I have bought was born in Tryddyn in Nth Wales c1884.
Walton's father was Wiilam EUSTON a Veterinary Surgeon and his mother was Mary (or Mabel Mary) NEWTON. Failing to find anything about Walton Harry I decided to concentrate on his parents. I have been unable to find a marriage anywhere in UK. Looking for a William EUSTON born about the right time to have children in the 1880s I found a William EUSTON age 6 on the 1851 Glamorgan census. Searching the 1861 census someone else found the same family but with surname spelled FUNSTON...I could accept this as a mis-transcription. I cannot find the family at all in 1871 Glamorgan census but I did find a 22 year old William ESTON boarding in Swansea with occupation shown as a scholar. So far I have not been able to establish what he was studying. An email to the Swansea University revealed that it didn't open until 1910, so I have no idea where he was studying.
The only other clue I have came from a 1896 Glamorgan Directory showing William EUSTON Veterinary Surgeon with an address and phone No.
I am hoping someone might be researching similar names and could perhaps help me out or that SKS might know of resources to search that I have not yet come across. To try to identify William as a Vet I emailed several Vet Colleges and the Vet Registration Board with no success. I have also put a Letter To The Editor in The Leader Newspaer in Mold (which covers Tryddyn) and got one reply from a very nice woman but unfortunately she found no more than me.
Kind Regards
Peter Euston
