Hi John,
congratulations to your daughter,if im right , Gavin must be the son of Billy. What a lovely man Billy Wells is, often took my late mother to hospital as he was an ambulance driver.
Have checked Freebmd nothing of an Edward Wells b. abt 1853 at Lancaster but there was an entry for Leicestershire for Edward Wells b 1851 Sept 1/4 Lutterworth Leicestershire and then checked IGI again got nothing for Lancaster but did get an entry for 15 Aug 1858 Edward Wells b Melton Mowbray Leicestershire. sorry cant be of more help to you.
Regards
Sam-Ann

Hi John,
In the Wells case I am not sure whether Edward born abt 1853 was born in Lanchester or Leicestershire - both are shown on different census returns !
Have you got Edward Wells & Alice Goundry's marriage certificate showing his father's name and occupation, which would help place him in earlier census?
The 1891 gives place of birth as Durham Lanchester as you say, but 1901 census entry (see below) does show his place of birth as New Town, Lester or it could be short for Lanchester, and I can't see a place called New Town in Leicestershire, nor can I find him in an earlier census
He's also aged 52 on this census giving a date of birth of 1849, aged 36 on the 1891 so d.o.b. 1855, quite a difference. Did you notice son Matthew is older than the marriage, Alice & Matthew are with her Goundy parents in Waldridge in 1881?

Hi Noreen,
Well what a small world, i can remember your family living at Fatfield, infact i went to school with one of your son's ...Wayne i think. I used to have the book your talking about but sadly i loaned it to a friend who moved away and took it with her! If i am able to contact her about my book and get hold of it i will let you know and send you the info you require.
Fatfiled is where i was born and my family before me howver i also have ancestors on both sides of my family who all came from Devon.
Regards
Sam-Ann
