Hi Everyone at the moment i am currently seeking my Welham family connections, i have got back to my 3X great grandfather John Welham, spelt various ways, Willham, Wellum, Wellham etc,
From the 1841 Census he was 35, so this makes his D.O.B. Cir, 1805/6, and the area he came from is Baylham Suffolk, From the Marriage Certificate of 1831, his wife is a Harriot Holder, also from 1841 Census Harriot was 25, her D.O.B. Cir. 1815/6,
They married in the presence of a Robert Holder and a Mary Welham, these could either be parents or siblings!
If anyone has any information on these families or looking for information on them, and is willing to exchange info, then please kindly get in touch.
Warm regards
Chris

Hi Chris

You'd be better off posting this on one of the other boards - Trying to Find would be good. Chat can move pretty fast and this thread will slip onto page 2 really quickly.

Anyway:

1841 CR - ages were rounded down to the nearest 5 years so be a little flexible in possible birth dates as you could be out by up to 4 years.

Have you looked on the familysearch site? And have you tried FreeREG?
