COMPLETED. John Prothero(e) Merthyr/Hereford

[lizziemus]

John Prothero(e) married Sarah Ann Hope in 1872. I have found him in the 1871 census living at 71 John Street with his Father John (a blacksmith)and stepmother Ann along with 2 step siblings. He was born in Herfordshire. This all ties in with the info on the marriage certificate so I am pretty certain he is the the right chap!!

John and Sarah had at least 3 children William John born in 1873, Louisa born in 1877 and Mary Anne born in 1876. At 1 point they lived at 2 Bethel St Georgetown Merthyr.

Apart from that 1 census entry I can find no other record of John Prothero or his children using either spelling apart from a possible entry in Herefordshire in 1851 where he is 10 moths old. Oh yes and the school entry for Georgetown school entry for the 3 children in September 1879

Can anyone please shed any light

Thank you

Welsh 1861 reference is RG9 Piece 4052 Folio 64 Page 10

a possible entry in Herefordshire in 1851

That is the right entry

1881 census surname is  PRYTHEROE

YEEEAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!

I have been looking for these for 2 months, thank you so much - never thought there would be a third spelling.

I am fairly new to this so don't really know what to do with the  welsh ref you have given me for the 1861 census

Thank you very much for taking the time to help me

On the 1861 search screen - scroll to the bottom of the input fields until you see

Thank you for your patience

there is a little complication though!!!!!

1851 mother is Mary Ann

1861 mother is margret

they seem to be same person going by age and p.o.b.

but

1861 son James age 14 lab at Iron works b Mon - is transcribed as James Prothero -and on image his name is dittoed as Prothero
however
in 1851 James is transcribed as James Prothero age 3 -but image reads James Prichard?

then FreeBMD there is a marriage regDec qtr 1847
Monmouth
26 99
on same page (among others)
John Prothero
Margaret Davies
Mary Anne Pritchard

so could this be your John's parent's marriage
and which one did he marry??

If it is mary Anne then did she have an illegit son James -or had she been married previously???

a puzzle
