Find Ancestors

Sorry I did'nt get back but will have another look tomorrow to see if we can sort something out. Had a query on my own tree and had to try and sort that first.

Mel

Getting really annoyed now..
Im not convinced any of this is right!...

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Some one must be related to this family.... :(

I have over 5000 names in my tree now....yet very little about my line.

Not even past 1800 yet....lol.
Frustrating.

Most interesting Mel.....

Certainly something to go on....

Wilson is a popular name..certainly in Yorkshire....but I can't find a anyone with a connection to these.

Plus having a middle name you'd think it would make it easier.... :(

On that Christening for Thomas Wilson with the father George Wilson, it was extracted and I did a search for siblings and got a list of some with just George and some with George and Mary. So I lookd up a marriage between a George and Mary Shepherd and I found one., but I am not certain..........................

John 1st married the daughter of a well to do Surgeon.
Then i have a feeling he had an affair..and then married the lady in question.

But Im not 100% sure...but something happened between 1858 and 1863.
By 1864 he had a new wife...
Not sure if the 1st wife died ...or he got divorced and married the other women. She was a good 15 years younger than he was.

John became fairly wealthy.
The area where he lived in Chichester..the houses now sell from 500,000 to 1.5 million!.

What happend to all that money?..lol

Thats what I was thinking..

I was thinking it was going to be Ellen Shepherd...but it's not....its Prest.

So still none the wiser....lol..

Maybe its John grandmothers maiden name?.

Shepherd could have been one of his parents mothers maiden name.

John married twice.

But its going back which is holding me up.

Cant get passed Thomas & Ellen.

John's christening was 13.02.1828

St Peter Cathedral, Sheffield, Yorkshire, England

I cant find any reference to the family anywhere.

At least I can't find anyone related..very frustrating as this is my family line and I know so little.

Have had great success with my mothers side...all the way back to 1035 and beyond..lol.

Well if he was called John maybe that was after Ellen's dad!

What year of birth have you for John Wilson? and when did he marry?

Thier son John Shepherd Wilson was born in 1828.

Was wondering where the Shepherd name came in.
I believe he was an only child..as I have not been able to find any siblings.

I was thinking his mothers name migth have been Shepherd..
eg Ellen Shepherd...but it is Prest.

So?.......
I know John's father name was Thomas as I have one of Johns marriage certs. But It doesnt say who his mother was.

That Thomas that I posted was an Ag Lab.

Ok..again..no wonder not getting anywhere..

GGRR!..changing spelling of name.

I had the marriage date..

Thier son John became a chemist & druggist.

I was thinking Ellen may have been the daughter of Henry Prest who ran a glass company.
And Thomas was one of the sons of Wilson & Son's book wholesalers.

At least that was what I was thinking...lol..

Hi Mel :) x

Was looking at IGI.

Right...focus...lol.
