Hi
Thanks for that I had seen that one but thought not at the time the age would work right for her death 1868/9 wonder who the fathe was? guess we will never know that one. We were told the father was son of the big house but maybe just talk. Think the big house was called Cuddington Manor!! or something like that.

Found this on familysearch.org which seems to fit with Christianna:-

CHRISTINE HANNAH WILLIAMS - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 07 MAY 1843 Newtown By Wem, Shropshire, England
Father: THOMAS WILLIAMS
Mother: MARY

Two marriages that could fit this record:-
THOMAS WILLIAMS - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Marriage: 12 NOV 1827 Wem, Shropshire, England
Spouse: MARY JEFFREYS

THOMAS WILLIAMS - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Marriage: 26 JAN 1830 Wem, Shropshire, England
Spouse: MARY CHESTERS

If this is the same Christianna, then she must of had a relationship with one of Joseph and Ellen's sons for the two girls to be their grandchildren. Could be that Christianna's parents disowned her when she fell pregnant.

Note:- Ellen Dulson living with them, but no birth for an Ellen Dulson to this couple. Could it be the wife of Joseph?

Marriage for this couple:-
JOSEPH DULSON - International Genealogical Index

Even if this is not your Joseph there's a good possibility that it is part of the family so worth keeping on file.

I still find this odd as well yes according to the girls birth certs mother Christianna Williams father UK Christianna dies 1869 Holywell workhouse of TB we have death cert she came from Calverhall we think born about 1846 she was 25 when she died. I cant seem to find a link there I thought maybe a dulson married a williams girl somewhere but I cant find it at all,

I still can't understand how the Williams girls can be grandchildren. Valerie, you said their mother was Christianna Williams with no father named so Williams must have been her maiden name?

Valerie

Valerie Report 2 Nov 2008 13:19

Also an ellen strange couldbe a possible

Catherine Report 2 Nov 2008 13:15

I wonder if he had a son called Joseph?
If so, then maybe it's his marriage in 1863?

There is a birth for a Joseph:-
Births Sep 1844 (>99%)
Dulson Joseph Wem 18 191

so could be possible?

Catherine

Catherine Report 2 Nov 2008 13:12

This must be the birth for Elizabeth:-

Births Sep 1856 (98%)
Dulson Elizabeth Wem 6a 638

If you buy the certificate this will give you her mothers maiden name!!
