William Prosser and Minnie Carter Abergavenny

[lisalucie]

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am tracing my nans ancestors. Her great-grandparents were William Prosser and Minnie Carter who were married in Abergavenny. Have found Minnies family but am having trouble with Williams. They had 5 children in Abergavenny. Any 1 else after William Prosser, born Trevethin but lived Abergavenny up till 1901?

Thanks Lisa

according to 1901 census william.r.prosser was born in chepstow abt 1866
there is this 1871 entry that could be him
1871
RG10/5294/93/31
william prosser age 34. b. chepstow. occ. lawyer or sawyer .head(marr)
edith prosser age 8. b. ditto. daughter
louisa prosser age 7. b. ditto. daughter
william prosser age 6. b. ditto. son
living at;1,nelson street,chepstow,monmouth
also living there is another family with a andrew prosser aged 69 and hannah prosser aged 66 possibly your williams grand parents

[wozzle]

occupation is sawyer

[wozzle]

do you want the censuses for what i believe is probably your williams father william prosser born abt 1837

strangely enough on 1871,1881,1891 census william prosser always states he is married but his wife is never with him
cannot find him in 1901 but in 1911 he is down as widowed. he dies in 1912 in chepstow

[wozzle]

found him in 1901 he again states married but no wife with him
i think he may have married in 1861 in chepstow to either elizabeth johns or elizabeth white

[wozzle]

think i have found his wife in 1871
by this census record her marriage to william was her second marriage and it was elizabeth white he married
1871
RG10/5294/93/32
elizabeth prosser age 41. b. worle,somerset. occ. laundress. head(marr)
sarah white age 19. b. chepstow. occ. laundress. daughter
charles white age 14. b. chepstow. occ. factory boy. son
living at;8,nelson street,chepstow,monmouth(so living in the same street as her husband william who was living at 1,nelson street in 1871)

Hi wozzle... thank u loads for what u have found out...it would be great if u cud send me the census or anything...was great of u to look for me...it definately sounds like the right one. Also my nans grandmother was Edith Elizabeth Prosser and I see those two names cropped up in what u have found so its looking like its the same William.
Thanks again Lisa
