WAIT FAMILY

[SHAZZY65]

Hello

I have recently started tracing my family tree on my fathers side whose surname was Wait, I have found out that his father was Henry Wait who was born in 1902 in Newhaven, East Sussex, his parents were called Henry Wait and Theresa Eilingsfeld and that is where my trail ends.  If anyone can help me find out any further information or where to try to find the information that would be great.

Thanks

Shazzy i live in Newhaven, and Petmas on here works at Newhaven Museum  What do you want to know?

It would be helpful if you could provide some additional information.

Are you saying that Henry Wait had a father Henry Wait and that the latter married Theresa Eilingsfeld ? If they married, do you know where and when the marriage took place? At present, I can't see a marriage between a Henry Wait and a Theresa Eilingsfeld in England or Wales.

Have you found anyone in the censuses?

Do you have any additional dates or places for relevant events?

I'll have a look in the museum tomorrow, I have a gut feeling that whilst there are no Eilingfelds I think there might be Eisingfeld. Pete

Hi

Thanks for your reply, in the 1911 census Henry Wait and Theresa Eilingsfield, I assume they got married in Lewes or Brighton,.  They had 2 sons Henry William Wait (my grandfather) and Francis Richard Wait.  Henry Wait (Father) was born in Bradwell Grove around 1849 and Theresa Eva Eilingsfeld was born in Oxfordshire around 1869, as I say that is where my trail ends.
