Hi Chris

I would like Thomas (Junior) WILLSHER  (born 1842) in 1891 in Salehurst with his wife Mary please as I did not know he existed until you kindly found him for me in 1861 census.
 

The only information that I have on Thomas WILLSHER (born 1842) is as followed:

Census 1861 and 1881

That in 1868 he married Mary Matilda BOURNE(Born 1846 in Brede) in Rye district - from FREE BDM

That he query died in 1906 in Ticehurst aged 64.

If you trace him on any other census I would be most appreciative.

Once again many thanks for finding a missing link.

Hi Chris

Thank you for all your hard work.

You have given Thomas WILLSHER (born 1842) on the census from 1861,1871,1891 and 1901. He was an extra child and now you have given  another child Frank. I am sure that he is not at home is 1881 and Hugh is home in 1881.

I will have to check further.

As Thomas ( junior) is not at home in 1851 census with Thomas (Senior) and Lucy WILLSHER, do you think that I am correct in assuming that at age 9 he was away a school?

I am going to finish now. Many thanks for all the help with the WILLSHER name.

Helen

Hi Ellen

Yes, you are right, he was away at school.

HO107/ 1619/ Folio 338/ Page 5 - Highgate, Hawkhurst, Kent.

School with 22 pupils run by George Hopkins, School Master & Bank Manager.

Thomas Willsher, 9, born Ticehurst, Sussex, Pupil
Henry S Willsher, 10, born Etchingham, Sussex, Pupil

It does not say if these two boys are related - but they probably were.

Hope that helps
