I am trying to further research into the Whiten family. I believe in the 1780-1800 period they lived on Beech Street nr the Barbican. They were dissenters and I believe were buried in Bunhill Fields. I have most of their  records, but not a confirmed address, or births for John, or Charlotte Purveur as she would have been.I believe John was born abt 1751 and Charlotte abt 1759.

In later generations the family were involved in bookbinding and stationery, however I don’t have any evidence that John and Charlotte were. I am intrigued by Charlottes surname of Purveur, but have failed to find any records at all for any Purveur’s. Were they French Huguenot refugees?

I would be most grateful if someone could help find any further information

Amazing what can be found on YouTube and elsewhere on the web, thank you for defining silver chaser , I recently discovered a silver chaser on my tree and his father was a silver mounter ! This profession is proving harder to define ?! Is it the craft of making mounts for jewels??

Sorry I'm having trouble logging on with my iPad so I'm having to use an iPod. Trying to find birth or other connection for Moses Williams 1824 Glamorganshire, okay from 1851 on, cept not sure when died. He lived Llantrisant, yes married to Esther, that's as much as I can find. Any pointers appreciated🤔

Thank you so much for your help, I have now got back another generation to Moses Williams b 1824 but seem stuck there for now. Cannot confirm his parents?

I would also dearly love to find my G Grandpas father to enable further progress, his name is Daniel Williams b 1852-4 llantrisant, married Elizabeth (?) b 1856-8 Bath. Any good ideas ? Ive tried searching marriage and Banns , Glamorganshire and elsewhere. Tried significant events, births etc unless they married somewhere else, outside my searching dates.

Thanks also to Spidermonkey and avm228, this looks like the same Edith, but not on 1911. Also missing her sister Dorothy, who may appear as a domestic elsewhere (age is right on the entry I found).  1911 shows a brother Frank, William (poss), Mabel, but the others  ??? Also Ellen has gone though I am told there was a Nelly(Ellen), too young to be elsewhere?  I have no certificates , but yes she married my g father Alfred Oliver in 1917 Pontypridd.

Hi Giggsy, looks promising, Edith, Mabel, Ellen (nelly) are names I have. Dorothy and John Charles no. I will try the 1911 census tho Edith has not shown up there before, am I right in thinking this is from 1901 census?

Thanks for the welcome and thanks in advance for your help😁. No marriage cert either, but records say 1917 to Alfred Oliver Williams born 1890 Llantrisant, no parents mentioned!
