COMPLETED 1851 Census, Fullwood family, Newcastle

[kiwi]

Hi again Alf,

On re reading your posting maybe I have misunderstood, do you mean the church MI's in Newcastle?  If you do that would be a great help.

Thanks,

I have found your Robert living with his family at Bilston in Staffordshire under the name Fullward, rather surprisingly under the name OBERT.  He is living with his wife Sarah who was born in Newcastle, with children:

William aged 22 born Wolverhampton
George aged 20 born Wolverhampton
John aged 18 born Wolverhampton
Joseph aged 16 born Wolverhampton
OBERT aged 12 born Newcastle upon Tyne
Thomas aged 10 born Newcastle upon Tyne
Samuel aged 6  born Wolverhampton
Mary aged 4  born at Bilston

Father Joseph says born Bilston and he is a Blacksmith, so are his first 4 sons.

I also have the family in 1841 living on Chapel Street, in the Walker Township of Newcastle upon Tyne. Joseph is a blacksmith and his eldest son William is a labourer in the Iron Works.

Joseph Married Sarah Blackburn 18 August 1825 at Saint Nicholas, Newcastle upon Tyne.

I feel almost 100% certain that this trail leads back to a Jsoeph Fullwood baptised at Bilston in Staffordshire 6 June 1808 the son of William Fulwood and Mary not the one baptised at Sedgely a few years earlier.   The facts and ages fit the one from Bilston. Then I get stuck.

Have you seen the following website:

www.fullwood.org.uk

This is a wonderful FULLWOOD website created by Dave Fullwood who is related to the BILSTON, FULLWOODS.  There seems to be some notable FULLWOODS in History and a fairly distant link to Shakespeare.  I have written to him to check where we link in.

Can you let me have the contact details for Lionel Fullwood?  You were the first person I contacted since I have only been doing this family since last weekend.  I can send copies of the census images if you PM me with your private email address.

Hi Nouchke,

Many thanks for all that information on the family of Fullwood.  I hadn't been able to find Robert on the 1851 Census so it is really neat to be able to tie him down at long last with 2 more siblings.  I wondered what happened to the child Mary christened in 1838, in Newcastle, she must have died.  You don't called two living children by the same Christian name, I will have a hunt to find her death.

The father Joseph, born in Bilston certainly looks to be the correct Joseph for this family, especially as he seems to have returned to Bilston with his family in 1851.

You have been clever to find him! Well done, A new pair of eyes and a bit of lateral thinking makes all the difference.

I have been in touch with Dave Fullwood a few years ago and yes he has a most impressive website on the Fullwoods.

I will contact you by PM about Lionel Fullwood and his address and give you my email address at the same time.

Many thanks for making contact and supplying more information, it is appreciated.

Best regards,
