Edward William Welsh - help please
« on: Wednesday 11 April 12 03:32 BST (UK) »
In searching for my great-grandmothers sister - Antoniette Del Lungo, I've found a tree on ancestry where the owner says that Antoniette Del Lango married the subject Edward William Welsh born 1852. On that tree they have her as being born in New South Wales. They both appear in England 1891 and 1901 censuses in Lancashire.

I don't know if this is the Antoniette I'm looking for as the tree owner might be getting mixed up, as in the 1891 census she's listed as born in Manchester, Lancashire and in the 1901 census it says born in New South Wales.

The Antoniette I'm looking for was born in Italy in 1867 and came to Australia with the family in 1877. She married here in Sydney in 1883 and had two daughters but I can't find a trace of her after the birth of the second one. I think her husband may have passed away but there is a lot of confusion with his surname. She may well have married and gone to England.

If someone could look at the Edward William Welsh and his wife Antonietta for birth, marriage, deaths etc I'd be very thankful. I can't find anything else on them apart from the two census I mentioned and would like to know what became of Antonietta if she is the one I'm looking for.

Thanks in advance,

Thanks everyone for looking - in hindsight I maybe should have posted this to the Lancashire board - can it be moved or do I have to make a new post?

Thanks

I've been doing quite a bit more searching, but still don't know what happened to Edward and Antoniette Welsh.

There are 3 births I've found for them:

Harold Welsh B. 17 Sep 1889, Lancashire.

Edith Antonietta Welsh B. 1891 and baptised 28 April 1891

Florence Hilda Welsh B. 15 June 1896, Breck Road, Anfield. The tree I mentioned on ancestry has her marrying a Thomas Gibbons.

I don't know where they've gotten to, especially the parents.  :(

Are you sure about Florence HILDA Welsh ???

1896 WELSH Florence E    West Derby  Liverpool  WDM/89/29

This looks like your Florence (West Derby -1896 ) but it doesn`t look like her middle name is Hilda ...could it be Edna and not Hilda ?

Thank you,

I found Florence Hilda Welsh born 15 June 1896 and baptised 1 July 1896 at Everton St John The Evangelist.

Source: Liverpool Record Office, Ref No: 283 BRE/2/1

Found the above on ancestry.

I recall seeing her name as Florence K Welsh also.

Edward W Welsh appears as Edmond/Edmund in 1861 and 1871 but is missing in 1881. That may have some significance.

There is also a child William Henry born abt 1889 Manchester
