Radnorshire / Charles Wilson Rhayader 1881
« on: Friday 30 September 16 14:31 BST (UK)  »
Help!!!

Charles Wilson, of full age and a bricklayer, married Mary Pritchard in Rhayader, 11 November 1876.  His father was Stephen Wilson a mason.

1881 - No Charles - but, Mary Wilson, wife, 29, and children (of Charles and Mary) David C 2 and John P 5 months.
1891 - Mary Wilson, Wid. 39 and children Charles 12, and John P 10.

On the marriage cert. of son David Charles, his father is named as David Charles Wilson, bricklayer, deceased.

I cannot find ANY record of Charles Wilson or David Charles Wilson or any combination of these names.  I cannot find a death, or a father, Stephen, who is a mason with a son David and/or Charles in ANY census, whether it be Wales, England, Scotland or Ireland.  In fact if it wasn't for the marriage certificate I would think that he didn't exist.  According to the 'full age' on the marriage certificate he must have been born before 1856 but WHERE and where is he!!!

Herefordshire / Re: Whitney on Wye

If you look up Jones on Familysearch for Whitney Herefordshire, at about the right time, you will only find one couple, Thomas and Ann Jones.  The next village to Whitney is Brilley, some of these children give Whitney and others Brilley as place of birth.  Maybe your family maybe not!

The Withington marriage - Do you think that Withington was maybe Ann's home?  On the 1841 census a Thomas Williams aged 75 lives there.

Canada Lookup Request / Re: Naphtali Edward Jack

Well! It has taken a Canadian to find Edward's death, in Wales.  Thank you.  The birth date is right and there are no other Edwards born during the December quarter.  So where ever he went in his life, he died in Clwyd Wales.  There is a death, also, for a Hilda Jacks, b. 22 Oct 1910, 1987 in the dist. of Welshpool, Powys.  so I will see if I get anywhere with that.

Thank you both, you have prevented me from going up a blind alley!  I will have to look elsewhere.

Canada Lookup Request / Naphtali Edward Jack
« on: Wednesday 15 April 15 16:26 BST (UK)  »
Naphtali Edward Jack b. 2 Nov 1904 Liverpool England  married Hilda Freeman 1933 West Derby England and their son David A Jack was born 1933 Liverpool.  There does not appear to be any trace of them in England but I have found -

Edward Jack, 47, British Army, and David, his son, 18, Medical student, arrived in Southampton on the Cunard Ship Georgic 29 Aug 1952 from New York - address 37 Rocky Lane Liverpool 16.

Also -Hilda Jack  b.10 Feb 1908 of 33 Greenleigh Road Liverpool 18, housewife, departed from Liverpool on the Franconia for Quebec 29 Apr 1955.

I am clutching at straws, would anyone know if this family lived in Canada?

Thank you all very much for your information.  I am still struggling to find any reference to his birth - about 1851 father John, maybe in Dublin.
