Hi Gin,
Yes I have the census info. Daniel and his sister Hester. William Amos is his mothers father (named as Elizabeth Whitchurch on the census). I am hoping to find Williams wife (who I believe is named Hester/Esther)
Regards,
Seb

Hi,
I know this may be a long shot but I have hit a brick wall. Even after checking familysearch.org I am stumped.

My ancestors were Daniel Whitchurch (b1827, bitton, gloucestershire) and his wife Catharine (Brain) Lewton (b1828 gloucestershire).

Daniels parents were John Whitchurch and Elizabeth Amos (b1805) and Catharine's parents were George Brain (b1796) and Frances Lewton. Presumably all born in Gloucestershire.

Elizabeth Amos parents were William Amos (b1765) and possibly Hester

John Whitchurch parents I am unsure of

George Brains parents may have been Richard Brain and Ann

France Lewton parents I am unsure of.

I know the surnames Cromwell, Tyndale and Wickliff are linked here somewhere as are the Christian names Ernest, Sarah, Emily, Hannah and Oliver

If anyone can help me find the marriages/parents names that I am missing above I would be most appreciative
Regards,
Seb
