William Edward WOOLLEY, Born 1842, Westminster

[BAC3]

Hello,

William Edward WOOLLEY, parents George WOOLLEY and Henrietta Maria (nee ELLIOTT) was born second quarter 1842 in Westminster.   After 2 years imprisonment 1860-1862 (Parkhurst Prison) he married 21 year old Frances GURR (Father: Henry)  in Brighton 1863.

I wonder if anyone can help in completing his profile after 1863, please.

There are  these births on the GRO index which may help track him down

Eliza Ann Woolley June 1/4 1863 Dartford vol 2a page 397 Mother's maiden name GURR

Thomas William Woolley June 1/4 1865 Dartford vol 3a page 315 mother's maiden name GURR

I haven't looked for others yet

George Woolley Dec 1/4 1867 Dartford vol 2a page 342 mmn GURR

Albert Joseph Woolley Dec 1/4 1869 Medway vol 2a page 441 mmn GURR

Louisa May Woolley June 1/4 Medway vol 2a page 474 mmn GURR

Harry John Sept 1/4 1871 Medway vol 2a page 459 mmn GURR

You can forget these Kent births I think because there was another Woolley/Gurr marriage in June 1862 Joseph Woolley and Mary Ann Gurr.

Not sure the children found are a help, given this family (unless parents using other names?)

Thank You Mabel Bagshawe,

Interesting "Death" find.......I shall certainly research as a possibility (probability??).

Have you considered this in 1881 ?

William Woolley 1843 painter b City of London
Caroline Woolley 1844 wife         "           "
Edith Woolley 1870 dau Winchester
William   "      1878 son     "
Ellen Woolley 1881 dau Gosport

Lodging House , 57 Lower South Street, Alverstoke , Hampshire

I found registrations for William and Ellen on the GRO website , giving mother's maiden name King, but I can't spot a marriage for William Woolley and Caroline King.

I thought this might be your William Edward because his father George was a painter, if I've found the right family in 1851.

Good Morning Christine53,

His father, George, was a Painter and William was certainly born in the City of London (Vauxhall Road)...........it seems very likely he may have re-married, Caroline KING, and now to find confirmation

Thank you
