ShaneWelch Report 4 Oct 2011 14:25

I'm trying to trace my dad's family
all the info I have is on the family tree my partner has done
Stephen Welch born 1952 one of 5 chlidren from Fredrick Welch and Shelia Goodman.
Fredrick Welch born 1925 Died 1996 Married Shelia Goodman March 1952
Fredrick is the son of Alexander fredrick Welch born 1904 married a lillian carr. I'm not sure if fredrick was their only child or not but my father seems to thing he may of had a brother that moved to new zeland. If any one could help please message me and i'll allow access to my tree.

Many thanks in advance
Shane Welch

I thought it might have been me that mistranscribed that Auscombe/Luscombe but went back to have another look and it's most definitely Auscombe on the Montreal record.

Chris

I'm reading the information you have provided and it's not matching up with the information I've found on my tree there was a william welch born in 1854 with 3 other siblings joseph being one of them all being born in Middlesex joseph was born in 1852 who then had four children of his own with Alice all children where born in hendon middlesex. Im not sure if you are on about williams children in your message but it is weird as the information you have found for william's children Joseph had a son's called william born 1880 Joseph born 1874 daughters lousia 1879 ada 1887.

It looks like I may have picked up Joseph's brother William born c1854 and his family instead of Joseph and family (your direct line) both were living in Albert Rd in 1881 and they both had sons William c1880, sorry for the confusion. There must have been some connection to Nottinghamshire as Joseph's daughter Louisa born c1879 was born there and so was William's son Henry in c1879
