London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Fensom and Burton
« on: Tuesday 17 February 04 14:34 GMT (UK)  »
I'm chasing info on my grandfather William's family - his father was Arthur John Fensom born 1878-1880, and his mother was Jane Sarah Burton born 15 Jan 1880 at 17 Wood St, Princes Road, Lambeth.

William's brother Stanley Thomas Fensom was born 6 Apr 1905 in Plaistow, Westham, London.  We believe that William was born there too, but have been unable to find evidence of his birth to date.  His date of birth was given on his marriage and death certificates as 5 Mar 1909.

The family moved to Brisbane, Australia, probably arriving between 1911 and 1914.

We know that Jane had sisters in England named Florence and Maud, and a brother named William Burton who married a Kate and had at least one child, a boy named Peter.

I look forward to any and all discussion on the names, whether relevant to my research or not!

Thanks!

My primary line is the Woolnough family - the other names are of people who married into the family in my grandfather's generation.  I believe that his sister-in-law is still living in Hartlepool, but have never received a response to my efforts to contact her.

Before his generation the family had been in Suffolk for at least 4 generations.

As I've said before - any information will be gleefully accepted!

Suffolk / Woolnough, Sayer, Copeman and Lillistone

Hi!

I'm researching these names anywhere and any time in Suffolk, but I have a special interest in Stowmarket, Wenhaston and Halesworth.

Our Woolnough and Lillistone lines both eventually found their way to Brisbane, Australia.  The Woolnough line made a side trip of one generation to Durham first.

Any information will be gleefully received!
