Albert Thomas Woolvett
« on: Sunday 27 January 13 12:47 GMT (UK) »
I'm trying to find more about Albert Thomas Woolvett.   I believe his parents were Burke Woolvett born c.1860 in Brightlingsea and Elizabeth Ann Bailey born c.1861 in Essex who married in 1886.  Old notes say Albert had two siblings, both born in Brightlingsea, John Burke Woolvett born 1888 and Bertie Thomas Woolvett born c.1997.

I have Albert linked to this family but can't see him in Free BMD and wonder if he really existed?  Grateful for a fresh pair of eyes :P

not with the family in 1891 & 1901, and according to the last census only 2 children born to the marriage, both surviving.

Whats the source info for this lad Albert T Woolvett - are you sure its not really BERTIE - which is a diminutive of Albert?

The fact that only 2 children were born to the marriage and details of both are known then this suggests the old family notes are suspect.   Thanks for your help

Thanks for the additional information.   Burke had even more siblings - he was the youngest of 11 children  ;D
