Looking for info on a Tom Wells
« on: Saturday 22 August 09 21:56 BST (UK) »
I am looking for any information on a Tom and Jessie Wells. they had the following children Clifford, Eileen and David all from the Stokeslley area of Yorkshire. They are related to me somehow.

My Great Grandfather was James Wells born 1875 Scruton he had two brothers Robert and John.  James had a daughter Eva, Tom is a full cousin to Eva.

I have census details for James Robert and John. John upto 1891 after this no trace of him can be found.  I am wondering if Tom comes of John somehow.

I have marriage details for Robert and his children.

Any information would be very much appreciated.

Regards

Here is Robert's family in the 1911 census index (details are pay-to view):

Stockton, Durham
Robert WELLS (born Scruton) - 40
Frances WELLS - 40
John Thirkell WELLS - 18
James WELLS - 13
Albert WELLS - 11
Frances May WELLS - 9
Christopher Edward WELLS - 8
William Henry WELLS - 6
Thomas Mathew WELLS - 1

Thomas M WELLS m. Jessamine M NELSON, Mar qtr 1933.  (Darlington 10a 31)

In the full GRO index, I have found births in the Durham area for 2 of the children you mention, which give their mother's maiden name as NELSON. 

Hope this helps!
