Hello all,
I have a very elusive person who I think is unfindable with the available online BDM resources. Perhaps by searching other records she may be found but I am not in the UK and so do not have the luxury of spending time at the Gloucestershire Records Office or Heritage Offices local to Winchcombe/Ashchurch etc.
She is the mother of the below mentioned George WILTSHIRE. I do not have a surname nor a marriage date for her and Robert WILTSHIRE.
- George WILTSHIRE born c1811, probably in or around Winchcombe, Gloucestershire. - I can find no Baptism date or record for George.
- Died 23/02/1874 aged 62. Buried Winchcombe, Glos.
- The 1851,’61 & '71 Censuses indicate he was born in Winchcombe, Glos.
- Confirmed father - Robert WILTSHIRE 1773-1835. Bapt 21/03/1873 Ashchurch, Glos.
- Non confirmed mother - Hannah UNKNOWN ?-1811. Buried 3/04/1811 Winchcombe, Glos.
- Subsequent (?) Marriage of Robert WILTSHIRE and Rachel DREWETT 29/03/1812 Winchcombe, Glos.
As I see it, if this Hannah is George's mother, he would have had to be born sometime between 24/02/1811 (if his death cert age is correct) and 2/04/1811 (at the latest).
I do not think that Rachel DREWETT is George's mother, although I have no conclusive evidence.
I would appreciate any assistance with this one if possible.....although I'm not very hopeful - ???
