Charles Billingsley lived in Packwoood Warwick with the Wareham family in the 1881 census. His age is 20, his birthplace is given as Brewood Stafford and his occupation Blacksmith Apprentice.
Can anyone see him in the 1861, 1871 or 1891 census?

Parents William and Mary. Several older siblings, next one up age 10. Either a little late 'surprise' for Wm and MAry, or actually a grandchild .....
Again, do shout if you want the full works

Thanks for that. The full details would be nice, thank you. I did wonder if Ann Wareham (1881) was his mother.

I treid to find Joseph and Anne Warehams marriage, thinknig like you that maybe Anne was nee Billingsley and thus an older child of Wm and Mary. But no success there.
But maybe he was a late child of WM and MAry as it says.
Need to get his birth cert, I guess, to find out!

Thanks for your help. A Charles Stanley Billingsley is listed in Freebmd Penkridge 6b 378 June 1868. so I will order that and then we may know who his mother was. AND maybe his father.

1868?
He was 10mths in 1861, 10 yrs in 1871 .....
Ahh just checked the index . It is actually 1860, so looks good
-
Liz
Yes you are correct. - 1860
I found Joseph Warham married Ann Billingsly 24th Oct 1868 in Ashted Warwick. (Familysearch) So it looks as if young Charles was conceived on the wrong side of the sheets.

Charles was my Gt grandfather, eventually moving to New Zealand 1891.
His mother was Anne Billingsley, father was Joseph or Charles Joseph. We do not know whether he was illegitimate or indeed just adopted within the Wareham family as he appeared first as Charles billingsley.
In likelihood, Joseph was his father. Unfortunately we don't know a great deal about Joseph. If anyone does have information, it would be great to make contact.
Thanks
Cam Wareham
