WHITTINGHAM family
« on: Friday 17 October 08 14:59 BST (UK) »
Hi i'm really stuck on my great great grandfather...
William WHITTINGHAM (or William Davies WHITTINGHAM)
I have found out that he was born in GUILSFIELD, Montgomeryshire in 1826.
I know that his mothers name was Sarah WHITTINGHAM and that she had him out of wedlock with a man named William DAVIES

I also know that Sarah's parents were
John WHITTINGHAM (1754-1816) & Sarah BROWNE (1768-1821)
However I don't know anything about the family or any dates, if someone could help me with this I would be very grateful!  :)

Hi

It's from a mass of stuff that I have on Montgomeryshire. I don't have full details of the will. Here's some more that I've found from Guilsfield:

Richard bpt 11 July 1793
Thomas bpt 11 Jan 1796
Sarah bpt 12 March 1798

Abode given as Bergeding

I'll look for some more and get back  :)

Also, I'll see if I can find anything about William Davies - but that's a more difficult name to track  :(

oh wow!!!! Fab!!! Ah so she was 28 when she had William Davies Whittingham, I thought she'd be very young to have had a child out of wedlock haha!!

Hi Charlotte  :)

You gave John Whittingham's birth date as 1754. Do you have a place of birth at all?

I don't see a lot more in Guilsfield but there are quite a lot on Whittinghams in other Montgomeryshire  parishes.

Hey!

Yes I do have his place of birth as Alberbury, Shropshire, England
That was from another tree on ancestry so I don't know if it's completly right but they did have his date of birth as 1754!!

Do you know if Sarah Whittingham married William Davies or maybe someone else...?
Also maybe her death date??

Thanks :)
Charlotte

I don't have access to all the Guilsfield records so haven't found Sarah's marriage. It might be that a census search might bring something up.

Sarah <no surname> b. 1798 +/- , Guilsfield

Have you checked for John's birth/bpt on the IGI?
