Sussex / Otways of Sussex
« on: Sunday 20 January 08 16:51 GMT (UK)  »
My paternal grandfather George Otway was married twice. His first wife Phyllis (Phillis) Eager died of TB in 1911. They had two sons Thomas bn 1889 and George bn 1890. George married Emma Smart and they had children George, Albert, Florence, Ronald, Geoffrey and Rodney. I believe they moved to London.

My grandfather then married Kate Amelia Norman who was born in Lingfield Surrey. They had 7 chidlren together Bernard, Frank, Kathleen, Ralph, Rose, May and Charles.

George Otway was bn 1867 and was a hairdresser in Richmond Buildings Brighton. Richmond Buildings and other streets around Albion Hill/Carlton Hill were demolished years ago.

George had brothers and sisters Frances who married George Atkins and moved to Arundel where they had children.
Frederick who was also a hairdresser married Mary Briggs they had children Frederick, George and Emily
Henry who married twice and moved to Canada with the salvation Army taking all his family
Caroline a nurse who never married
Alice a dressmaker who never married

If any of this rings a bell or two I would love to hear from you.

Sussex / Wellers and others of Sussex
« on: Sunday 20 January 08 16:18 GMT (UK)  »
I have a few names I am looking for. On my maternal grandmother's side Wellman, Creswell, Knee and Allen.
On my maternal grandfather's side Weller, Harland, Field and Stapleton.

My biggest problem is my paternal grandfather's siblings. I was always told he came from a large family. His name was William Alfred Edward Weller bn 1897. His parents William Edward John Weller and Maria Jane Harland married 25/12/1895. On the 1901 census my grandfather is the only child. On findmypast.com I have managed to find three sisters Flora bn1913, Ida bn 1917 and Marjorie bn 1921 but in between I have hit a blank wall.

I live in France and my brother has offered to go to London to look at records but the lsit of Wellers born in the period is very long.

If anyone recognises any of the names I would be grateful for any help.

Thanks
Alesia
