Hulse Family, Burton on Trent / Scotland

Hi

The image definitely says Staffs and the place starts Braun - the s is questionable but the ton is legible

If you Google Braunston - it comes up with Rutland, Warwickshire and Northamptonshire but no mention of Staffordshire

[claireandsi]

I would say that it is probably the same person.   I have a lot of gamekeepers and gardeners in my tree and they did move around quite a bit.  It seems they moved around from estate to estate, probably for a better position on a bigger estate. 

I also think the placename is meant to be Branston (or Branstone) near Burton on Trent in Staffs.  I have seen it spelt many different ways on censuses etc.

I would have liked it if had visited his wife sometime!, and hopefully have another child

Hi there, I have just seen your posting and wondered if you had tried looking using other spelling variations. 

You probably have I'm sure.  Its just that I have ancestors with the name HULLS and they have been transcribed as HULSE on several occasions so thought maybe your HULSE could have been transcribed as HULLS.

Just a thought. You've probably already found them.

I haven't found anything else about him at the moment. I'd love a wedding certificate for his first marriage/ death of wife, and a birth certif would be heaven!

[chrianne]

Unfortunately I can't help you out either.  So far my HULLS are from Melton Mowbray and Leicester.  Although I haven't got that far back with them yet.

I know how frustrating it is when you can't find an ancestor, I have one just like it 

I do hope you have a breakthrough soon.

Hi - I have a possible for you   

You won't get a birth certificate for anyone before 1837,  the best you can get is a baptism from church records,  so finding that Branston was part of Burton-on-Trent at that time I found the following

from IGI
HENRY WILLIAM HULSE
 Christening:  06 MAY 1819   Burton Upon Trent, Stafford
  Father:  THOMAS HULSE  Family
  Mother:  SARAH     
 
This would make him a bit older than he said in later years but I think it is a good possible.  The most likely candidate I could see in 1841 is

1841 Harbourne Staffs
HO107- 980 Bk 8

Henry Hulse 20 police Y
Jane Hulse 20  N

and I found this marriage in Free BMD

It seems to be a possible - what do you think?

I like it a lot!
The fact that the wife died ties in with him being a widower when he married in Scotland. Its a shame he didn't keep the children thou
Thanks so much for everyones help, its really appreciated
