Family History Beginners Board / Wolfe
« on: Sunday 07 April 19 05:11 BST (UK) »
Hi. Stumped trying to find a death record for Solomon Wolfe (Wolf, Woolfe) born 30/3/1794 Brinklow Warwickshire, supposedly died 1836 Wolston Warwickshire and wife, Catherine Wolfe née Maloney, supposedly died in Walston Warwickshire around 1832. Solomon’s father was also Solomon, born 1767 and supposedly died 1839. There is a record for that death but I’m not sure which Solomon it relates to. No mention of them on 1841 census. One of Sol’s and Catherine’s sons, George, born Wolston 1826, was transported to Tasmania in 1844 and is my ggf x 2. Any help will be, as usual, greatly appreciated. Thankyou.

In answer to your questions Trish, the trees I have viewed on Ancestry and there are at least a dozen of them, have Christian as Christian Trevers born 1633 at St Dunstan in the East Aldate London died 1697 St Giles Cripplegate London. Don’t know where those particulars came from. Nobody seems to have relevant records. As for Samuel Wolfe, I can’t see that he would have had any offspring, so, exactly, as you said, how could anyone have descended from Christian and Robert Wolfe. There is a record of a Samuel Wolfe dying 1727 and buried at St Giles Cripplegate London. He was a pensioner and I don’t know where he came from and when or who his parents were. All these questions about Christian opened up to me only a few days ago. I am now convinced that the Christian and Robert Wolfe in question have nothing to do with my Wolfe family, so they will be taken off my tree. Thank you everyone for your time and assistance with this matter. I reckon you folks are terrific.

Thank you jomcd967. Appreciate that info. I guess it was hard on women in those times without a husband or support from another source, hence the short mourning period.

Thank you trish1120 and bbart. Just to add to the mix, a Samuel WOOlfe was born to Robert WOOlfe and Christian WOOlfe 6 March 1654 St Dunstan in the East London - from Parish Register. Then from Quaker bmd register Quarterly Meeting of London & Middlesex Burials (1661-1700) a Samuel WOlfe born abt 1654, buried at age 13, on 23 Feb 1667 Checker Alley England. He was the son of “Widdow Christian WOlfe in White Chapel”.
Anyway, seems that Trevers was not Christian’s maiden name, so there are people in my tree who shouldn’t be there.
Once again, Thankyou everyone for your time and assistance. Always appreciated.

Thank you all for your input. Very much appreciated. Christian Sicke and Christian Trevers could be two different people of course but the writing on Christian Trevers marriage record to Robert Wolfe seems to have the word “widdow” after her name. I’m no transcriber but I compared the writing to more from around that period and “widdow” is what I make out. I have viewed the trees of others, with the name of Christian Trevers, including that of Kerrywolfe-1. What led me to this issue was a tree on Ancestry (and I know, you can’t depend on other people’s trees). The owner, Arthur Love (Anderson FT) has come up with Christian Sickes’ name as being the maiden name of Christian Trevers, who had previously been married to Samuel Travers/Trevers. After Robert Wolfe died, she supposedly married Samuel Thornton in 1669 under the name of Christian Wolfe, “widdow”. Yes, too many variations in surname spellings creates confusion, as if it’s not confusing enough. Thank you once again all for your time and effort.

Hi. Robert Wolfe born 1634 married widow, Christian Sicke/Travers/Trevers, in Saint Bennet Fink London England 1654. Can’t find a birth record for a Christian Sicke supposedly born about 1624 in England. According to her death record, 1674, in the name of Christian Thornton, (she married again after Robert died) she was about 50. Don’t know if her maiden name was Travers/Trevers or if it was Sicke. Also can’t find a birth record for Christian Travers. There is a baptismal record 25 Aug 1615 Dorset but I reckon that Christian Travers would be too old - maybe. Would really appreciate any help with what the maiden name actually was of the Christian who married Robert please.

Thankyou. Seems there were another few children after Elizabeth too. Maybe the marriage record for Robert Watson and Margaret Chalmers is not around anymore for some reason. A real mystery couple.
