Joseph Wardropper Marriage

[twardroper]

Hi

I am trying to find the marriage record for Joseph who married Jane Collis. Their son Robert was born abt 1843 Tonbridge, Kent.

I think Joseph is the son of George Barras Wardropper and Charlotte Richley who were married Sunderland 3rd July 1816. He was born 1817 Sunderland and was an engine driver.

Any help greatly appreciated.

so was jane really Mary jane???
 
also if Jane (Robert's mother) remarried before 1851 there ahould be a death for joseph - I can't find one?

How are you certain of Robert's parentage???

Do you have his birth cert?

Hi and thanks

Hi Tony

I've never managed to find a marriage certificate for Joseph and Mary Jane ( Jane) or a death cert for Joseph.

I do though know a lot about Mary Jane and her son Robert William Wardroper ( he seems to have changed the spelling of his name some time between 1851 and his marriage in 1864)

I think Mary Jane's surname was Collins her father was Williams Collins a Taylor and she seemed to call herself either Jane or Mary Jane. I think the 1851 census says she comes from Derby. I don't think the family has any links with Tunbridge - the railway station opened in May 1842 and Robert was born Nov 1842. William Patterson (step father) was also a train driver and moved around lots - he came from South Shields not far from where Joseph came from and they were only a few year apart in age. I've often wondered if they Knew each other ?

if you want anymore info on William Patterson , Robert Wardroper or post 1842 info on Mary Jane let me know. I have photo's of Robert in later life.

Please let me know if you do get any more info on Mary Jane pre 1842  or a marriage or death of Joseph.

Hi Claire

This research has been on behalf of someone I met whilst researching my Wardroper line.

Is it OK if I put you in contact with Caroline Wardroper, a descendant of said Robert? I only contact her through Genes R? Have you an e:mail address I could give her?

Hello Tony. I think the name Wardropper is an unusual name and one that I had not heard of before.
Here's  two baptisms that may be of interest. You can always keep them on file in case they fit in somewhere.

Ann Elizabeth Wardropper daughter of Paul and his wife, baptised 18/October/1845 aged 2 years.

Maria Wardropper baptised 19/October/1845 aged 37 years.

These two baptisms were converts and it would seem that Paul Wardropper would have been the husband of Maria as well as the father of the above Ann Elizabeth.

The baptisms were at St Cuthberts, Durham City.

that would be great my email is c.wardroper@btopenworld.com

If you ever do find a marriage or death for Joseph I would be grateful if you could let me know. I'm 80 % sure Joseph is my great great great grandfather, if he is I can trace the line back many generation before him to Chester Le Street

Thanks Claire

I have sent Caroline Wardroper your e:mail address via Genes Reunited.. It may take her a while to contact you.
