Hi,
I hope you can help!
I am trying to find any information about Wilson Wales born 1917 Gateshead died 1975, Matilda Woodhall born 1922 Sunderland died 1982. They married 1943 and lived in the Old Fold area of Gateshead. As far as I know Matilda never had contact with her family after her marriage to Wilson but don't know why?? Her mother s maiden name was Anderson.
Many Thanks
Andrea

Hi and welcome to Rootschat
A good starting point is a website called freebmd www.freebmd.org.uk where you will find both their birth registrations
However - there are 2 entries for Wilson Wales in 1917 and both in Gateshead
I checked his death reg and your Wilson was b 12.6.1917 so this is the right entry
Births September qtr 1917
Wilson Wales mothers maiden name Hindmarch Gateshead 10a 1575
Births September qtr 1922
Matilda Woodhall mmn Anderson Sunderland 10a 1408
-
This is the only Woodhall/Anderson I can find that would fit with Matilda's birthyear
Thomas A Woodhall / Margaret Anderson December qtr 1918 Newcastle-Upon-Tyne 10b 317
-
Wilson's parents marriage was March qtr 1905 William Gladstone Wales/Isabella Hindmarch Gateshead 10A 1017
Births December qtr 1885
William Gladstone Wales Gateshead 10a 791
There are a couple of possible births for Isabella but I think this may be the likeliest
Births September qtr 1884
Isabella Hindmarch Gateshead 10a 932
As they married before the 1911 census - you should be able to find them on the free index - see instructions below
USING THE FREE 1911 INDEX TO DETERMINE THE CORRECT HOUSEHOLD
http://www.1911census.co.uk/search/tnaform.aspx
Once you find a possible match - make a note of the county and district in which the person was living
Return to the index and in PERSONAL DETAILS - just put the surname of the family - nothing else
In LOCATION - Select the county and below it - type in the district
In OTHER MEMBERS OF THE HOUSEHOLD - show the full name of the person you have found on the index
Click SEARCH
You will have to buy credits to view the full entry which will give you their respective birthplaces - the above instructions will only help to possibly show others of the same name in the same household

Thank you so much for your help! I am quite new to this and felt like I was banging my head against a wall.
I will look into it!

There are a couple of possible 1891 entries for Isabella so you would need to establish her parents names first

Wilson Wales forms part of my research. Am new member so only just seen your post. Wilson was known as Wilsie. His father William Gladstone Wales passed away 26/12/1933 he had bronchitis. He had been living at 28 Mulgrave Terrace Gateshead which is no longer there.

Hi
Thank you for replying, Wilsie and Millie were my Grandparents.William G married Isabella Hindmarch.
Would like to hear how you are connected to Wilsie.
Regards
Andrea

Thanks for your message. My father Albert Edward had a brother Wilsie and their mother was Isabella Wales nee Hindmarch. I have been researching the Wales family for quite a while.
-
Hi Stilldetecting,
Wow what a surprise!
I have to say I don't know anything about the Wales family as my Dad has died and I have only a few memories of Wilsie so any information would be a great help! Do you remember Wilsie Millie or their children?
Regards
Andrea

Good to hear from you Andrea. Will dig out my Wales records and let you have info as soon as possible. I only vaguely remember Wilsie himself but I do remember the other brothers and sister. I remember him living at Old Fold in Gateshead. Brothers as I can remember were Willie, Josh, Jim, I think there was a John but not sure and Dorothy (Dolly) the only sister.
-
That is right they did live in Old Fold he also died there, Wilson and Matilda had 3 boys and a girl (Dorothy) but died as an infant. I do remember that there was a relative of Wilsie possibly lived in Park Road, Gateshead.
Hope to hear from you soon
Regards
Andrea
