Looking for Robert Wiltsher bc 1860

[heywood]

So, do you think we are after a McRea marriage, it is a possibility there isn't a marriage


LM

It doesn't look as though there is one.

[Milliepede]

I agree there probably wasn't a marriage between them but at least we know who Arabella and her family were

Still not found them in 1891 though have we?

[heywood]

I thought we might get some encouragement this morning as the original poster looked to be online. It would be good to know if any of this makes sense.

how about this

Frederick Wilsher
born 13/08/1887
bapt 16/06/1897
St Augustine's Church  Paddington
father ALBERT FREDERICK WILSHER
mother ARABELLA
of 203 Carlton Mews,( familiar address )
occ  coachman

[Milliepede]

Familiar address indeed and Albert mistaken for Robert?

Not baptised for 10 years so I wonder well I don't know what I wonder 

[heywood]

I think we had that before but don't remember Albert 

It is odd that Frederick was baptised 10 yrs after his birth but Dorothy Margaret was baptised in 1889.

[louisa maud]

There is a birth for Albert Frederick 1897 and death same year

The birth date of Frederick on bapts is the same as his school admissions

The plot deepens

It could have been a mistake by the incumbent at the time of baptism

[louisa maud]

I am baffled

Birth 1889 June quarter Paddington
Dorothy Margaret McRae

Baptism
25 April 1889
Dorothy Margaret Wiltshire - Robert (Coachman) and Elizabeth Wiltshire Paddington St Mary's

But she is born 22nd February   

There is also a Florence Margaret McRae birth 1897

We need to be careful though because it seems there was another Robert Wiltshire, carman, having children with Elizabeth, conveniently either side of 1881 from the same address so they are traceable -- and seem to be a different family (see reply no 21 on p3
RG12 /289 f79 p23
Robert   Wiltshire   34   Carman   bn Wiltshire
Elizabeth   Wiltshire   45   bn Middlesex
William J   Wiltshire   8   bn Crediton, Devon
Ellen L   Wiltshire   3   bn Crediton, Devon )
