Westley Waterless
« on: Sunday 19 August 12 15:58 BST (UK) »
Looking for two brothers-either marriages or deaths.
Richard Rolison/Rawlinson/Rollinson etc and Henry Rolison/etc. Richard was born in 1848 and baptised 19/11/1848 Westley Waterless, and Henry was born 1850 Westley Waterless.
Anything you can find on them would be good.
regards.

I have got the brothers on the 1851/1861 and 1871 census living with their parents Joseph and Eliza in Westley Waterless, but can't find any trace of them after that. They were aged 13 and 11 years in 1871.
regards.

Those ages were for the 1861-they were 22 and 20 years in 1871 living in Westley Waterless still, and their surname at this point was Rawlingson. In 1881 their parents Joseph and Eliza were still living in WW, but both sons were gone. I guess it is down to all the different spellings of the surname that makes them so difficult to find.

Hi

Using your criteria I have found 2 possible burials in a popular BI:
29 Nov 1883 Joseph Rawlinson aged 65, Westley Waterless, St Mary the Less, bur.
6 July 1887 Eliza Rowlingson aged 67, Westley Waterless, St Mary the Less, bur.

Hope this helps.

There was an ongoing agricultural depression in the 19th century which lasted for very many years; so my suggestion is to start looking in a British dominion, Australia, Canada and South Africa in that order.
