Other Countries / Re: Winter(s) James S Antigua & Barbuda
« on: Friday 08 February 13 01:23 GMT (UK)  »
I have not been able to progess this. I have verified this family line from UK records back to James Samuel Winter  b 1843/44 in St.Johns. Family Search has the father of James Samuel as John b 1827 Green Turtle Bay Bahamas which would have John's age 16-18 at James'birth. I searched their film records and the info. on John was collected from a family member so it may be a genuine link but I cannot get further verification. Antigua Archives could not find any records. Hope this helps,Ian

We have a public family tree on Ancestry- "Meade Family Tree". The verified line is James Samuel, Alfred 1880-1946 then George 1912-1980. The only documentation I have is UK census returns and I don't have any marriage or birth documentation. Anything you can give me would be appreciated.
I have John as James' father from a familysearch IGI reference and I am waiting for the LDS film to arrive to establish the source document, if possible. Regards,Ian

Hi David,
James S Winter is my wife's great great grandfather, through her mothers side of the family. Family search has him born in Antigua 1843 to John Winter (but I don't have any verification for John). All the male winters I have traced- and some female- were mariners, including James S, and I am hoping to discover if his family were from the caribbean or if they were mariners too -St'Johns was a big naval centre at the time. Have you got any further info.? Regards,Ian

PS The first child from the Freeman marriage was born in April 1866 so I expect any marriage would be before or around this date.

Hi , thanks for the help. The maiden name is clearly Freeman on the birth certificate. There are a few James Lewis' born in Manchester or nearby at the time & almost all can be eliminated,so I was hoping for some further information from the Freeman marriage cert. or earlier censuses if I could locate the documentation.

I have hit a wall with James Lewis a tailor b abt 1840 Manchester .I cannot verify his birth details or find his parents and would appreciate any help.His first child William Ernest was born in 1866 at The Green,Darlaston Staffs to his wife Sarah nee Freeman.A second child Henry was born abt 1868. He married Mary Anne Webster of Pleck, Walsall on Dec 19th 1870 at All Saints church Moxley Staffs. when both were resident at Darlaston.On the marriage cert.James is described as a widower and a tailor but his fathers name and occupation are not given. He takes his two children into this second marriage and I can find this family in the 1871 census at The Green, Darlaston and in the 1881 census at Shaw Hall Bank Saddleworth . James dies in October 1881 at Miller Hey Mossley (Ashton under Lyne). I cannot find records of James' birth registration, any census records prior to 1871 ,his marriage to Sarah Freeman or the death of Sarah.
