Hi all,
My grandmother, born 1896 was Naomi Watmough Wood, her parents being Shadrack Wood and Annie Eliza King. I believed Annie Eliza Kings parents to be George King and Annie Porter, born in Nottingham around 1840 - info from the various census have differed.
I have yet to find Annie Porter on either the 1841 or the 1851 census but maybe the 1861 with a birth place as Aslocton and not Nottingham. I have Annie Eliza's birth cert(1866) which says mum was Annie King formerly Porter.
I have Anne Porters marriage cert (1864) which states her father was James Porter deceased - here her age is given as 27 years
That was until yesterday....
I received a death notice saying Annie "Porter" was Annie Whatmough b Nottingham.
So ....
I was wondering if Annie Porters mothers maiden name was Whatmough/Watmough and if she was married to a Porter.
or ....
Annie Porter was in fact Annie/Anne Whatmough b between 1837 and 1849( according to the 1901 census!!!!) Her ages in the census info I have range as follows:
1864 marriage aged 27
1871 28 b Nottingham
1881 39 b Nottingham
1891 47 b Nottingham
1901 52 b Nottingham
I would appreciate any help I can get at present as I would love to Know where the Watmough name originated. At present i do not have death dates for either George King or Annie King ( Porter)
Many thanks
Ruth
