WHILEMAN Clay Cross and Wingfield

[Vicwinann]

Hello
I have finally found out what my uncle Wilfred's surname was - WHILEMAN and he was born 1898 Clay Cross.  He married my mother's sister, Lily SAUNDERS,  in Greenwich in 1918, but they lived in the Wingfield area  Derbys  after their marriage.
Unfortunately, the two sisters did not get on too well and Lily was 20 years older than my mother, so there was no contact with them for me as a child, although I do have one of Lily's wedding photos.  I would dearly like to know whether Wilfred and Lily had any children who would be my cousins.

I am obviously now also trying to research Wilfred's family, so if anyone has any information about him- his father was Frank, mother probably Mary Elizabeth SMITH - I would love to hear from you.
Regards

Hello
Thank you very much for the full 1901 census for Frank Whileman and family.  I only had the Index reference but this seems to confirm my Wilfred's mother's surname.  I am most grateful.

Hello
Again thank you for finding that for me.  As you can apppreciate, I have only just started researching this family, and your help has pushed me on considerably. The Whileman's seem to have married into the Doves of Sutton in Ashfield in the 19th century according to the IGI and FreeBMD.  Thank you
Regards

Hey

I have a family of Whileman's from Clay Cross.

My grandma was a Whileman before she got married.
I think theres two Whileman family's in Clay Cross because i got a bit confused when searching mine.

My Grandma was Irene Whileman b.1927

her mother and father were Sam Whileman b. 1901 and Lily Hardwick b.1902

Sam's father was George Whileman b.1858

and his father was also called George b.1816.

My grandma said she had an Auntie Florrie who married a John May from matlock
and a Auntie Nellie who married a Foster.
Thats were it got confusing.

I still ain't 100% sure weather i go the right family yet.

if you could write back and tell me if you recognize any names then that would be great.

Cheers

Hello Lee,
Since originally starting this thread, I have done a fair bit of research on the Whileman's of Clay Cross and places elsewhere.
I am sure we can collaborate to our mutual benefit, although I haven't done much on the Whileman's for the last year. 

If you can send me a private mail, I will give you my email address and we can go from there. I suspect from national registrations that I may already have you speculatively on my tree.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Regards

Hello Vicwinann,

Are you still researching Wilfred WHILEMAN? Wilfred was my paternal grandfather.
