I hate to throw a spanner in the works but you said in your opening post that William Prosser was born in Trevethin. Is this not more likely to be him with parents thomas & Margaret (there is another William Prosser born 1865 in Chepstow)

1881

Thomas PROSSER       51      Crickhowell, Brecknock, Wales      B Smith      
Margaret PROSSER      37      Llandenny, Monmouth, England            
Thomas PROSSER      17      Trevethin, Monmouth, England            
William PROSSER      15      Trevethin, Monmouth, England            
Ellen PROSSER     12      Newport, Monmouth, England      Scholar      

     Census Place    Trevethin, Monmouth, Wales

Do you have William & Minnie's marriage certificate to prove William's father's name. There are a lot of Prossers in the Abergavenny area. I have some in my family too

there is also a William b1870 in Trevethin parents William & Mary

Hi lancsann, thanks for your post. I made a mistake in my origional post putting Trevethin, I knew it was chepstow but wrote trevethin for some reason  :D. Sometimes the info I have got blurs into 1 and I get a bit confused lol....thanks anyway.

I wonder if my Prossers and yours in Abergavenny are related? William and Minnies children all moved to Wolverhampton eventually. Lisa.

Wozzle,have you found William on the 1911 census? I have got his daughter Edith on it but never found him?
Edith was working at a pub in Abergavenny...she must have moved to Wolverhampton the following year ie,1912.

Hi Lisalucie
I'm new to this board, but I only joined because of you! I can't find a way to PM you, but I have done a lot of work on the Dundon/Carter/Knight/Prosser mob too. I am descended from the Dundons, but I have yet to start wife beating, ignoring bastardy orders, fighting etc.!

I guess that you are descended from one of Minnie Prosser's children (she was a star turn, wasn't she!) Clearly we share a few common relatives, if only by marriage. I am pleased to share what I have - can you PM me when you have a chance?

Paul

Hi Lisa
Great to hear from you! My old email address @Ireland.com was closed down without informing any of the users. Arrgh! But I'm back on the scene now - you are my first living relative "find" since I've come back into this hobby. Hopefully we will have some interesting info to swop.

Wozzle are you still on the case?
I have just received a connection of the Gilberts of Walterstone to Gilbert of Clifton Gloucestershire.
The Vineyard Estate at Walterstone was under the will of James Gilbert of Llancillo Hall - 1815.The farms associated with this estate Walterstone and Goytree farms passed to his great nephew Thomas Price [who assumed the name Gilbert]. The farms later settled on the marriage of Mary Gilbert to John Prosser of Chepstow in 1855. Thru your census info could you find John and Mary?

cheers
