The Common Room / Re: What occupation?
« on: Yesterday at 12:42 »
Thank you, It looks like Dragoons, interesting as he was German born in Berlin.  He married Mary Margaret Cureton.  They moved sometime to Switzerland where he died in 1902, Mary died in Italy in 1912.
Richard's full name was Richard Parish von Senftenberg

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

Jen, Not as far as I know, Gwendoline did have a brother Herbert who died in 1934 age 26.

I do not know where Roy and Kathleen come from unless they where Arthur or John's siblings. I know very little about Arthur or who his parents were,
Thank you for replying

Looking for the death of Gwendoline Mary Gibbs, maiden name Williams, born on the 27th March 1909 Henbury, parents Herbert and Kate Williams, married to Arthur Septimus Gibbs in 1934 Bristol. 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?
Gwendoline and Arthur where together in 1939.
Any help would be appreciated

Gloucestershire / Henry Williams
« on: Sunday 14 April 24 13:00 BST (UK)  »
Henry was born in 1831 Olveston Gloucestershire, parents George and Amelia Williams, maiden name Croome, In 1856 Henry married Eliza Dimmer. Henry's occupation was farmer.
They had 3 children:
James Henry 1856-1939
Emma 1858-1947
Alfred 1863-1863
On the 1861 and 1871 census they are farming in Olveston, in 1881 they are visiting their daughter Emma who is now married to George Lusty. In 1901 Eliza is living with her daughter in Uley and is now a widow.
I cannot find them in 1891 nor can I find a death for Henry.
Any help would be appreciated
