FELLOWS of Dudley

[angel~eyes]

I am looking for any information of Joseph Fellows born 1851 in Dudley. I am trying to trace his parents and sibling. He marries a lady called Fanny Lewis b 1854 in Dudley. It would also like to know who her parents are also. His second wife is Charlotte Gladdingb 1863 in Dudley. Again I would like to be able to trace her parents. Any infor would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance M x

Hi angel

I don't have Joseph Fellows (though I have father and son called Joseph Fellows Hartland, who perhaps may be related: Fellows was the maiden name of the gmother/ggmother and was used as a 'middle' name for some generations) - but before you get confused:  you will find in the registers of St Peter Wolverhampton, (and the GRO indices)  the marriage of Joseph Fellows to Ann Burgess on 0n 3 November 1851.   The groom's name is not correct: this is in fact the marriage of Joseph Fellows Hartland senior.

hi Cati x

I am working on this tree for my stap Dad and its very interesting so far I would like to think there is a connection with yours and perhaps with the Fellows boating family in the Midlands I will save those details and refer back to them thank you for replying.

Hi KGarrad,

Thank you for the information I have him married to Fanny Lewis in Dudley 1875 and their first Child John down as born 1873 and 1888 in Dudley to Charlotte Gladding. Your marriage looks more likely than the one I have thank you. Thank you also for the details of Josephs parents and siblings.

Have just noticed the marriage to Fanny Lewis was actually in Walsall not Dudley which leaves just your marriage ty again x

[KGarrad]

I dismissed that marriage because there is a Joseph Fellows in Walsall in 1871, living at home with mother Sarah?!

[angel~eyes]

yes just seen that too. I think yours is right as they would have been nailors and the location is perfect for them I am going to try and locate a marriage for John and Catherine x

[KGarrad]

Having trouble locating Charlotte Gladding in 1871 census.

Think you might need to get the marriage certificate, or her birth certificate to get father's name.

Birth is March qtr 1862
