1841/1851 WAKELING in Bucknell?

[nanny jan]

Could sks please look for Frederick Wakelin/g bc 1833 Oxfordshire?

I have him on 1871/81 in London.   1871 the place is dificult to read; Looks like B*****ll, Oxfordshire and 1881 just gives Oxford.

Many thanks,

Nanny Jan

Hi Bluie,

Thanks for looking but I don't think that's my man.  I've just got Frederick's marriage certificate and his father is shown as William, a gentleman's servant (?), (the writing is very poor and faded)  and the surname on that is Wakeling.

Hi Nanny - do you want to give us the reference for the 1871 census and I'll have a look and see if I can work anything out - sometime two pairs of eyes are better than one

Still looking for Frederick, bc 1833, Bucknell, with father William.

1861 census Fred is married and the piece showing him and wife is missing; have him 1871 onwards but would like 1841/1851.

Hi Nanny

Sorry we're not ignoring you, I just can't find him in those years, however I have dug up a few clues as to why not (I think)

From the IGI
FREDERICK DAVIS   Christening:  08 OCT 1833   Bucknell, Oxford, England
  Father:  WILLIAM DAVIS 
  Mother:  SUSANNAH WAKENELL 

From the IGI
SUSANNAH WAKELING   Christening:  23 AUG 1812   Bucknell, Oxford, England
  Father:  THOS WAKELING  Family
  Mother:  CATHARINE 

I still can't actually find Frederick (or Susannah) in the 41 & 51 census
but there is a very good candidate for William Davis at the Manor House in Bucknell
he is a 40 year SINGLE servant born Bicester

Hope this helps a bit

Thanks DebbieG, this line is proving troublesome...so many couples who do not marry.

I think you have managed to unearth my Fred at last; he named his first child Catherine......and she did not marry her "husband" either.

Many thanks,

Nanny Jan
