Back to the Islington Youngs - one of the sisters was Margaret and we know that the brothers all went to USA at least for a while.

on 1911 there is a Margaret Young, widow, b Liverpool age 29 (so right age for this Margaret) lodging with a Makin family in Kirkdale, Liverpool. She has 2 young Youngs (ha!) with her - Margaret, age 5 and Mabel age 1, both "american residents".

relevant to this family?

Hi Annie.  My father (Sidney) was the only boy of the family, so I'm not sure this applies chuck.  x x

Doing some more digging on other websites.

 According to this one Charles, Joan, Ellen and Sidney moved to Manchester leaving Emily behind in Somerset with other children possibly Winifred and Margaret

Is this Mary's original posting...  



I think it may be her brother Charles who posted that

Hi Shaun.  I don't know where they came from when they came to Salford, Lancs in the 1920s, only that Joanna, Sidney and Ellen came with Charles.  Where Emily was, or went, I have no idea.  It would seem to make more sense that they came to Salford from Liverpool as it is still in the north of England.  Whether Emily went South or not I don't know.  x x

i have had another thought re Emily ok what if she was previously married
we would need to look for a marriage for Emily .... to Mr Wheeler 1893-1904
although she lists her father as Edward Wheeler when she married Charles
so possibly we need to also look for a marriage for Emily Wheeler 1893-1904  
this is going on the basis she was born in 1873-1876

how many are there? are there too many to rule out ?

mayeb there is an Ellen and JOanna registerd in that surname ?





Hi Toni.  It does say on their marriage cert that Emily is a spinster and Charles a bachelor.  x x

There is just one other possibility!!  Could Joanna, Ellen and my father have lived with one or other of their grandparents?  x x

Have to aagree with you Annie.  But I'd still like to thank you and everyone who's done so much searching, even if we haven't come up with anything positive.  You have all been absolute gems.  Bless you all.  x x

1881 Census -Found an Emily Wheeler age 9 - an Orphan   :'(

Sir Josia Maso's Orphanage, Erdington, Worcester. 

Could this be her and her father a wishful figure?

Hi.  I'm not sure if Edward Wheeler was a fanciful figure.  It is possible I guess, but from what I can guess, my father must have known about his grandfather at some point as my youngest brother is named Edward.  I know this could also just be coincidence, but it's highly likely my brother Edward was named after his grandfather.  Having said this, my other siblings are Charles, Bernard and Sylvia.  As we know my father is the only boy of the family this rules out any other siblings being named Bernard or Charles, but is it a possibility one could be named Sylvia.  My aunt Joanna also wanted to name my half sister's daughter Winifred, so perhaps this could also be a pointer although my half sister hated the name and named her daughter Donna, but my half sister is not blood related to my father..  So perhaps, if my assumption is correct, the three names that spring to mind are Sylvia, Mary, and Winifred.  x x

Is there a possibility do you think, that my father, Joanna and Ellen lived with Charles all along and not with Emily? x x

Going back to what Moog said in the previous thread that Sidney and Dorothy were the youngest children. We know of 2 more born after 1901 but therefore some of the others must have been born before 1901.
So we have various possible birth places for Emily should we perhaps look for any Emily on 1901 with young children who matches with the various births we have found and see if we can follow them through to 1911 to eliminate them.
I'm off to the shops as we don't have much snow but back later.

Hi Jaywit.  I can only summise that there were none born between when my Aunt Joanna was born to when my father and Dorothy were born.  I would assume that had there been others after Joanna and Ellen and before my father that they would also have been with Charles when he came to Salford, Lancashire in the 1920s.  I think my father was about 14 or 15yrs by the time Charles brought them to Salford.  Don't know if any of this helps, but I just thought it might help to avoid pointless searches after 1901. x x
