St. Peter Port Parish Baptisms - WHEATLEY

[softly softly]

I appreciate the wife of Robert whom he married in 1880 is not Annie’s mother. I was trying to establish I was researching the correct Robert

SS

Just an observation, when Robert William's birth is registered it appears his surname is WAKE

[Iscah]

hmmn... yes, I have checked the record and it does seem to say Robert William WAKE, I am unsure as to why. His parents are correct. Any ideas as to why this might be? It does seem unusual.

I have a fairly significant gap in my records for him after 1851 (8y.o), the next record I have is in 1873 (30y.o) where he is an AB. Although he could have been anywhere during this time, Annie is consistently recorded as being born in St. Peter Port, Guernsey (where her father lived since 1845 when he was 2y.o.)

Many thanks for all your time, effort & patience!

Annie Gertrude (1867) and Emily (1864) are consistent in naming father as Robert on their marriage cert, but both omit occupation/profession. Yet to spot a marriage for Elizabeth (1865).

Do you have Robert, born Malta, on the '51 Census?

Transcribed as Whealty - ref. Piece 2530, Folio 194, page 8

I can't actually check it right now as I don't have an active subscription on Ancestry at present.

Found 2 1877 record entries of Robert in Australia.
1 Travelling from Hobart to Sydney NSW 5.1.1877
2 an AB on the vessel "Exonia", Adelaide to Sydney 3.4.1877

Yes, that is consistent with what I have found as well. I think we have now covered all of the information I have pertaining to him pretty much.

On the 1851 Census - transcribed as Whealty.
Robert, 43, b. Ireland; Mary Ann 35, b. America
Robert, son, age 8, Scholar, born Malta
Siblings - William 15, b. America; Agnes 13, b. England; Mary Ann 10, b. England; Elizabeth 4, b. at sea; George 1, b. St P. Port

As you say, address 46 High St.

Last sighting for Mary Ann, born 1816/17 is as an outpatient of St Peter Port Poor Law Board, May/June 1879, address 27 Park St. She's not at this address in '81. I think I see Emily in '81 but Annie is so, so elusive!

PS - have spotted the Welsh connection.

Yes, Mary Ann (1817) died in 1880. She seemed to have suffered with several bouts of Chronic Bronchitis from 1877-1879 before she passed away in the January of the following year.

Annie was living with her Aunt Susan 1885 but I have no idea where she was in 1881. She remained with her Aunt and Uncle until 1888. Her Aunt Susan died in 1893 (aged only 36) and Annie paid for her burial.
