I am struggling to find anything about the Irish origin of this pair.
I have found George Wilson on the 1891 Scottish census which shows him to have been born in Londonderry, and then the place looks like Auchadoo. Could the enumerator have got it wrong? He would have been born about 1835, 36.
He married a Margaret Henderson who was also born in Ireland about 1840,41.
Both of them appear to have come over to Scotland in the 1850s, but I can find no trace of a marriage. Did they come back to Ireland to get married? I also cannot find a death certificate - Margaret Wilson nee Henderson appears on the 1871 Scottish census but not on the 1881 census, and she is marked as deceased when her daughter marries in 1884. Again would she have gone back to Ireland.
I would love to get some more information on these two who are very elusive, especially as I am in the area just now, but don’t really know where to look.
Thanks.

I have a family of boatbuilders, surname Prior, who lived in Poole, Dorset in 1839, as that is when their son, Austin was baptised.  The next son, William Henry appears to have been born in Cherbourg on 4.12.34.  I cannot find the family in the 1941 census, but then they appear again in 1951 and are living in the Isle of Wight.  By then, the eldest son, George appears to have married a French woman, (H)ester Grace Bamenis.
Is there any way of telling whether the whole family went to France, how and why they went, and when they came back?  Is it possible they went over under their own steam?
The family in 1931 would have been George 35, Philadelphia 35, Elizabeth 10, George 8, Horace 4, Ridley 3, Willis 3 and Austin a baby. Any information would be helpful. Thanks.

I believe my ancestors who were boatbuilders in Poole, Dorset lived in France sometime in the early 1930s but were back in Britain by 1949 on the Isle of Wight. They are all included on the 1851 census.
The family in question were George and Philadelphia Prior and their children - the youngest son William Henry was born in Cherbourg around 1834.  Also the eldest son George married a French woman, Esther/Hester Besnier/Bamenis (both spellings have been given) whose  birthplace was Cherbourg around 1829.

I would be grateful of any help in checking when the family were there and if I can get details of the births and marriage.  Thank you.

Does anyone know anything about this house?  My ancester was a man cook there in 1871 - he came from the Isle of Wight to work there.  I was wondering what took him all that way (with his wife and 2 young daughters) - who owned the house in those days?  Would there be any records of staff at the house, and when they came and went? He obviously didn't stay - in the next census he's back in Portsmouth as a ship steward.
If anyone has any ideas I would be grateful.  His name was Willis Prior.
Thanks

Can anyone look up a birth for me in Ore, Hastings of George Prior, round about 1795?  Thanks.
