William King Fortt and Cousin William King Fortt confusion

[Jason Jase]

So on my Tree I have
two William King Fortt's born around the same time and place
They are 1st cousins

one is born
to
----- my third great grandparents----
William Fortt
1796–1880
BIRTH 1 MAY 1796 • Bath, Somerset, England
DEATH 19 JAN 1880 • 1 Claremont Buildings, Combe Down, Bath, Somerset

and
 
Mary Fisk
1796–1846
BIRTH 1796 • Badingham, Suffolk, England
DEATH 11 MAY 1846 • Bath, Somerset, England
----------------------------------

the other William King Fortt
is born to

my 3rd great granduncle

John Fortt
1795–1865
BIRTH JAN 1795 • Bath, Somerset, England
DEATH APRIL 1865 • Bath, Somerset, England
and his wife
Maria King
B:1796 Bermondsey, Surrey, England
D:Oct 1842 Bath, Somerset, England

---------------------


What I need to know is which William King Fortt married
Emma Bristow
B:1833 Bath, Walcot, Somerset, England
D:13 Mar 1909 Bath, Somerset, England


I think she married my 2nd great grand uncle but am not sure

When & where was the marriage?

Emma Fortt was 72 when she died so birthyear ??1836/7

1871 census shows William was b London - not Somerset

[CaroleW]

Birth reg for son William King Fortt b 1864 shows her maiden name as Briston - not Bristow but daughter Julia's in 1858 is Bristow

[CaroleW]

Eldest child Emma b 1855 was b USA so they may have married there as I can't see a marriage in England.  The marriage cert will give the name of William's father.

Who did the other William King Fortt marry as it may be easier to determine his fathers name if he married in England

This is the only baptism I can see at the moment

William King Fortt
Baptism Date:   12 Feb 1832
Baptism Place:   Christ Church, Southwark
Father:   John Fortt
Mother:   Maria Fortt

[CaroleW]

Did you check the Family Trees on Ancestry?  A tree shows the parents of the William who married Emma  as John & Maria as per Rosie's reply above

[rosie99]

There is a baptism of a William Fortt (no middle name) in Bath 8 Aug 1831 - parents William & Mary.  Williams occupation a confectioner.  This family are in Bath in 1841 and in 1851 this William (the elder) has a different wife - Ruth though he is still in Bath. 

William Fortt bn 1831 appears to be lodging with his future wife and inlaws the Bristons

I know where everyone in this house hold ended except William Fortt Jr.
Truthfully looking at it I have no proof that Williams middle name is King.

that name was attached to a photo posted by someone that had photos of most of this exact family

I don't have the 1851 census for him that might have some clues on it???

the 1861 and later census' has him married to

Emma Bristow
1833–1909
BIRTH 1833 • Bath, Walcot, Somerset, England
DEATH 13 MAR 1909 • Bath, Somerset, England

most people on ancestry has this as a fact but it has not solid proof that is true??

I did not make the connection myself

I guess more important for me would be who William Fortt Jr married and what happened to him (since he is the closer relative)

sorry if this is confusing because it is for me....
