Gloucestershire / Help with Joseph please
« on: Saturday 20 April 24 08:24 BST (UK)  »
Sorry its the Williams family again.
Joseph Williams born 1805 Olveston, parents James and Mary Williams.
I have come across 2 marriages, one to Elizabeth Skinner in 1838 Bristol. the other to Rachel Browne in 1832 Almondsbury.

10 trees on ancestry have Joseph married to Elizabeth which I do not think is correct
1st Joseph was a farmer not a gardener
His father was very much alive not deceased as described, James died in 1856 (have death certificate)
Joseph was down as single
The second marriage to Rachel Browne seems more correct but not 100% sure
According to ancestry Rachel was born in 1794, age difference, born in Almondsbury, they had 3 children Elizabeth b 1819, Rachel b 1820 and John b 1823. So if correct the marriage year is wrong.
and its a bit old at 38 to start having children?
Any help would be appreciated

I have come across a death in 1993 Bristol on the GPO site, but on ancestry according to the western daily press Gwendoline died on the 12th 1993, spouse John Gibbs.
I cannot find an marriage entry between Gwendoline to a John Gibbs, but am I missing something?

« on: Monday 01 April 24 20:10 BST (UK)  »
Hoping someone can help. Frances Blore born 1804 in Bradley Derbyshire, I have been searching nearly all day and can find hardly any information on her apart from a marriage in 1835 to a George Harrison in Ashbourne, no mention of the couple's fathers (Frances's mother's maiden name was Harrison so could be a cousin)
Frances's parents were Simon and Jane Blore,
 siblings:
Sarah born 1806, both Frances and her sister, Sarah, were born before the parent's marriage in 1807.
Thomas 1808-1876

William 1813-1887
Maria Jane 1816-1885
Elizabeth 1819-1845
Eli 1820-1887
Simon 1822-1847
Anne Elizabeth 1824-1881
