Hi
I am looking for any information on William Rowland b 1872 Brighton. His parents and siblings I have ,but after the 1881 census I cannot find him. He was the son of George Rowland and Louisa Nealan, brothers George and Albert ,sister Mary.
Thanks
-
Have you checked for a Military record? There's a brief record for a 17 yr old William Rowland, born Brighton, on FindMyPast, attested Jan 1891.
I was drawn to his occupation and the occupation of one of the members of the 1881 household.
-
Do you have his birth registration???
Did he have a middle name??

I know nothing about him only the name on the census and I dont have a FindMyPast subscription at present
Thanks for any continuing help

Fanny Rowland September qtr 1874 Brighton 2b 191 ( Frances on 1881)
William John Rowland September qtr 1872 Brighton 2b 233
All have mmn GODDEN

Thanks a lot, yes Louisa Rowland had been married before to Nealan and her maiden name was Godden
-
Hi again, then I believe you will find that William Rowland married a Lily/Lilian Gold/s September qtr 1893 Steyning 2b 555 and his death is December qtr 1951 Brighton 5h 84 aged 79

Thank you I was wondering if there were any children from this marriage
-
Hi again, odd that on certain birth registrations Louisa uses mmn Godden ( Correct) and Nealan/Nealand ( Incorrect) and a largeish span between the Nealan/Nealand usage?!
When/where did her first husband die?
Keyboard86
-
I wish I knew more, my great granddad was her son George but I do not know a lot about this side of the family at all
-
OK, but seems odd, also Henry Nealan from his Army records marries Mary Porter 28th June 1890 Parish Church of Fleetwood, he also names Louisa Nealan as his next of kin, what became of him?
Keyboard86
PS Louisa was a Rowland when he signed up, his one campaign was the Nile Expeditions 1884/5
-
Its curious indeed, I appreciate you finding out these facts, as I haven't researched the half brother Henry Nealan (d) before. This is probably because I still havent found my great granddad's other siblings Frances (Fanny) and Albert
-
OK no problem just cannot at present locate Henry Nealan and new wife Mary in eg 1891 census?
When was the last occasion/census you had with certainty accounts of Frances/Fanny and Albert?

EDIT Found the marriage cert for Henry Nealan and Mary Porter, his father was Patrick Nealan ( Dèceased) occ Skipper

Thanks for the great information. The 1881 census is the source of the family information I have, the children to George Rowland and Louisa are, George, Mary, William,Frances and Albert. Mary I have found and now William, but not the others. I also cannot find the parents.
