        or  Elizabeth Postians


(Elizabeth Postians would be good, easier than Price, but then who said family history was easy  )

Thanks Susan! It IS going to be difficult to find that one out, but I have a new muddle.

I have found the death of a Henry Vickress who died in Wolverhampton in 1874 aged 45, which fits perfectly with the facts we already know about Henry Edward Vickress, son of William and Elizabeth, who was born in 1830. I have also found that Henry Edward Vickress married in Jun 1854 in Birmingham but the wife's name is a bit puzzling (it's either Eliza Haywood or Mary Davis); it seems the family eventually moved to Wolverhampton district, as he died there.

A daughter (I presume) called Jane died in Wolverhampton in Mar 1872 aged 4, a son called William Henry died at about the same time aged 3, and a daughter Drusilla (which is the name of one of Henry Edward's sisters 1817-1901) died at age 0 in Sep 1873. Henry Edward himself died two years after.

Henry Charles Vickress married Elizabeth Postians in June 1902 at Pembridge.

Thank you Puffcat. I'm trying to find out if they had any children but nothing yet.

I have found that John Vickress (b.1890), son of William Vickress (1859-1936) and Ellen Morris (1855-1924), married Ellen Rawlings and had the following children:

*William T.J. Vickress (1912), married Dorothy Hancocks, and were the parents of Roy W.R. Vickress (1934)
*Milbore P.L. Vickress (1914)
*Ellen M. Vickress (1916)
*Austen J. Vickress (1918)
*Robert F. Vickress (1921)
*Arthur R. Vickress (1923)
*Lawton R. Vickress (1925)
*Derick C. Vickress (1929)

John's sister Milborough Vickress (1892) married (1916) Austin T. Jenksm and were the parents of:

*Doris M. Jenks (1917)
*Joyce M. jenks (1928)

John and Milborough's sister Ann Drusilla (1893) married (1921) John F. Green, and were the parents of:

*Jack F.W. Green (1922)
*Bertram R. Green (1924)
*Kathleen Green (1928)
*Doris M. Green (1930)

I wonder whether any of these are still alive! I'd so much like to find out more about them. I didn't realsie this at first but the Vickress family is huge, and it pretty much looks like all the Vickresses in Herefordshire are related to me.

 Possibly a Daisy in 1904 is daughter to Charles Henry and Elizabeth.

1911 Census would confirm

I had a look at the transcript for Daisy on the 1911, and she is the daughter of an Elizabeth Vickress aged 44,  bn in Eardisland.  Elizabeth is listed as married but doesn't give the number of years married.  No husband appears on the transcript.

News!

Charles Henry Vickress (b. Sep 1870) was NOT the son of Frederick Vickress and Ann née Tippins, but rather the son of Edward Vickress and Ann (maiden name for the moment unknown). The only Edward I've found is one born in 1835, son of Mary Ann Vickress (there is a Henry Edward Vickress, 1830-1875, but I don't think it's him) and unknown father. I think it's the Mary Ann Vickress born in 1813, elder sister of Frederick Vickress, so Edward was Frederick's nephew and Charles Henry his great-nephew).

If anyone can confirm this (census info etc) please confirm so I can change Charles Henry's position on the tree.

Thanks!

And a Mary Ann Vickress (the same one as the mother maybe?) married Joseph Caldwell in Hope under Dinmore on April 17th 1837. Can anyone check the 1841 or 1851 census to see if there is Edward Vickress living with the Caldwell family? If it is the same Mary Ann he was certainly never legitimised as Joseph Caldwell's son... Penny for your thoughts!
