Evening,

I've recently been put in contact with a fellow Callear who connects to "my" tree via David Callear (b. ~1816)

I am trying to build that part ofthe tree but cannot find their location in 1851 & 1871 census'. The Callear surname is often appears in many forms (Callier, Calear, etc.) hence I thought a search guru may be able to weave some magic!!!

What I know.......

In 1841, David is living in Sedgley, Staffs with his wife Hannah (both 25) and two daughters Esther (6) and Mary (3). Ancestry has the surname transcribed as CalleN.

In 1861, David is living in Oldbury, Worcestershire. He's aged 46, Hannah 45 and they have a number of children: Betsy (18), William (15), George Ed (5), Alfred (5/12). Ancestry has the surname transcribed as Collear

David died in 1867, and Hannah and children can be found in the 1881 and later census records. Hannah is recorded at her son George's house in 1881.

Many thanks for reading and fingers-crossed!

Hi,

The Webster family (including Elizabeth - the sister of my gt-gt-grandfather) are shown as living at No 27 in the attached snippet from the 1939 register. Unfortunately, there is a piece of sellotape obscuring the obscuring dates of birth for Elizabeth and her husband William.

Can anyone modify the image to reveal?

Thanks for reading

I have a classic case of someone hiding in plain sight. The twist is that I wasn't looking for them but would certainly now like to connect them!!

I have held a copy of a census records for a number of yours, as it features four ancestors of mine (see snippet)

Whilst retracing my steps, I have only just spotted the inclusion of two Callears (Sarah & John) living in the next house! 

Sarah's dob is circa 1779 (assumed to be widowed mother)
Thomas' dob is circa 1802

I cannot currently link them to my tree so I thought I would seek your help/guidance.

What else do I know?

In 1851, they are living in the same area with two x "grandson" (surname Timmis)

I have recently made contact with another Callear who is the grand-daughter of a John Callear who married Beatrice M Antell.

We are trying to find her connection to the Callear family tree that I have assembled. Unfortunately, she does not know much about her grandad. The most likely candidate on my tree is a John Callear who was born in 1922 (d. 1988) but without proof we cannot go further.

Can anyone help to prove or disprove this connection?

I have found living children of John on Facebook but have not been able to make contact with them.

FYI - Beatrice was born Parker then married a Leslie E Antell in 1941.

Evening!

Whilst researching the/my Callear family tree, I have come across this grave [see attachment] (on find a grave site). I've tried various sites, searching for the individuals shown but beyond this gravestone, I have not been able to find any records that match their deaths, marriage of parents, birth of son, etc.

Can someone point me in the right direction (please!)
