Trail gone cold

Willie Cundy was born 5 November 1867 in Moulton, Spalding, Lincolnshire to Harriet Cundy. He appears on the 1871 and 1881 Census as Grandson to the head of household Maria Cundy. I have been unable to find anything after that census - can you please help

Hello Helen   

Welcome to Rootschat   

Do you know anything more about  him ?  Did he marry and have any children ?

Welcome Steve

I think I've found him in 1901 married to Mary E age 26 born Lutton, it gives his age as 30
but has a daughter called Harriet (L) and was born in Whaplode. He's an ag lab and lives at
Long sutton Road , Long Sutton. Think the Ref is RG13/3036 f68 pg 135 (it's difficult to tell the page nos
properly on the G******ist.co.uk)

Hello both   

Yes, UKD  -  I found that too, whcih was why I asked whether Helen knew any more about him   

Here's the entry:

1901
RG13.  P. 3036  Fol. 68  Pg. 13

Long Sutton Road, Gedney

CUNDY
William  Head  M  35  Ordinary Ag Lab  B.  Lincs  Whaplode
Mary E  Wife  M  26                               B. Lincs. Lulton
Harriet L  Dau  2
Alfred W  Son  2 mths.

both children born Gedney Marsh

I liked the eldest daughter being Harriett  - which obviously struck you, too, UKD        

This looks like their marriage :

Q2 1895 Holbeach. Vol 7a  Pg. 844  William Cundy
Maria Elizabeth A Rudley on the page.

I'm afraid I cant see him in 1891

Hi

This William Cundy's age is actually given as 35 in 1901.  It seems to me that rather than being the same person as Willie b 1867, he's more likely to be the child enumerated in 1871 as William Cundy, 5, b Whaplode - son of Alfred and Sarah E: RG10/3332/23/3.

Hmmm...having said what I said above, there is another William Cundy b Whaplode who gives his age as 26 in 1891 and 35 in 1901 (on both occasions married to a Betsy/Betsey).

1891: RG12/2608/84/7 (Groom & gardener)
1901: RG13/3073/20/11 (Draper's traveller)

So maybe this is the son of Alfred & Sarah, and the other one's Willie? Or vice versa...

Hi AVM

Just what I was thinking too. I've double checked the image on the website I use
and the one I listed earlier does say 35 but was transcribed as 30.

Hi Anna   -   there's a William B. 1866 Whaplode on 1891 and 1901  -  married to Betsy - daughter Alice  

So if the original one, married to Maria (Mary ) E named his son after his father - maybe the one married to Betty is he whom we seek ?

The William born Whaplode is, in 1881, an apprentice baker in Gedney........
