William Tell Nelthropp

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Hi Everyone,

Just wondering if anyone would be able to me find more information on my Great, great, great grandfather William Tell Nelthropp. The only information I have on him is that he married Mary Ann King (no children known from that relationship) and that they married in 1825. Years later I have notes saying he married a Jane Hobbs (born 1812 and died 1892). I have that Jane and William had two children together, William and George Nelthropp. During the time of their children I know they were living around greater London.

What I am trying to find is when exactly was William Tell Nelthropp Born and when did he die? I have found records on his sons birth and death (also named William Tell Nelthropp) but I cant seem to find anything on his father.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Tara - have you found him on any census?

Tara

Tara Report 21 Jul 2013 11:54

No I havnt, and I noticed the oldest census they show is from 1841 so I assume he died before then. The Census I found in 1841 showed his wife Jane Nelthropp as a Widow.

Son George was baptised 1840 so that would narrow the timeframe for his death:

A tree on Ancestry says that he was born 1796, Kobenhavn, Denmark, parents Henry Nelthropp and Christiane Marie Bang. It says he married Mary Ann King in 1825 then Jane Hobbs in 1836 and died 1840.

I have checked the image for the 1840 death, and the page no is 286.

I noticed on the marriage to Mary Ann King that she was a widow.
