Whitham family

[Tati]

Hi Wellspring - thanks for PM. Indeed I think we're getting somewhere now, and I'm very relieved it was the correct birth reference! 

So Sidney Whitham's parents were Harry and Jane Ann nee Taylor.

There's only one match for the marriage on FreeBMD
September quarter 1877 1887
Middlesbrough registration district 9d 772
Harry Whitham - Jane Ann Taylor

Here they are in 1891 (and the fact Jane was born in Middlesbrough explains that they were married there)

1891
RG12/3851 67 4
Kimberworth, Yorkshire

Well, I now remember doing this before and trying to prove that the little Allen shown in 1871 is in fact Harry - now knowing his father's name, I have no doubt anymore (brother Frank ties in as well)

Hi there, I was just browsing the Whitham name whe I came across your post. It seems you are researching my family. I am a direct descendant of Phillip and Susanna comind down through his son Charles. Allen/Harry has always baffled me and what really interests me is the mention of Emily. Could this be my aunt? PLEASE get in touch
