Title: WATLING FAMILY ROMFORD
Post by: ninkynoo on Wednesday 30 November 05 13:23 GMT (UK)
I am trying to find out any info on the Watling Family from Romford Essex.My Gt Grandmother was Annie Watling she was born in 1864 to a Richard Watling and Ellen?.I have found her on the Census and am sure it was her as she was born with only one arm and it confirms that on the census.Family rumour was that she had a sister with only one leg and this too is confirmed.BUT where did they all come from and where did they go .I would love to find out more about them but all my grandparents died when I was 6 so it is quite difficult.What I do know is that Annie married a William Buggs lived in Romford for many years then moved to Thorpe - le - soken in Essex in the1930's.Luckily I have photo's of her so if anyone is connected I am happy to share info on them.MANY THANKS

Thank you for your help ,much appreciated. I think that Richard jnr is Annies father as I have the 1881 census results that says Annies father was Richard Watling  born 1841 .BINGO
Just read your latest posting,ELIZA CABLE ,thanks ever so much I had a possible couple of names in mind for her but wasn't sure .She was one of the names and now you have confirmed it for me .DEEP JOY another one on the tree...
Now to find out just who Richard jnr married ,all I know is she was an Ellen born 1845/6 from Coggeshall.
You have made my day Thank You.Ninky

Hello Paganalice

How lovely to hear from you.  I have all the ones you mention on my tree and more.  John William Watling I have but no wife or Watling brother to your Richard Merryfield Watling.children so you're not on my tree.  I am connected via John Watling brother to your Richard Merryfield Watling.  I have all the connections to my family plus others and I have a mystery query which I'm hoping you might know something about.  My dad was born in Romford and I live here in Romford.  So the whole family is close to my heart.   Please let me know if therze is anything you'd like to know or give me the details from your grandf\ather down so I can add you to my tree.  I am in contact with 3 people who match DNA on Ancestry with me  but two of them have no idea how.

Looking forward to hearing back from you

Diana
