George WINGRAVE - 1811 - ?
« on: Thursday 16 March 23 14:34 GMT (UK) »
George WINGRAVE was born in Middlesex about 1811 - his father was Joseph WINGRAVE and they were Oil and Italian Warehousemen.  George married Sarah PRIMER at Cheltenham in 1845 and they had 3 daughters by the 1851 census when they were living in Fleet Street, St Bride.  Sarah died later in 1851 and by the 1861 census the 3 daughters are living in Cheltenham with their maternal grandfather David PRIMER and are entered with the surname PRIMER.  My question is "What happened to George WINGRAVE?

Could he have emigrated? Some Ancestry trees suggest that he is George Wingrave, pickle dealer, who moved to Ontario, Canada. He is present on the 1881 census of Canada:

He died in 1882:

His place of birth is given as London, England.

Just a suggestion, but this could explain why he cannot be found in England post-1861, when it looks like he is boarding in Shoreditch with Robert and Sarah Tavener.

Thank you for that - All sounds very possible.  I'm sure I came across the surname FOX when I was looking for George but can't remember where!  The was an Arthur Wingrave FOX but he's probably a red herring!  I'm grateful for the tip.  I'm very wary of Ancestry Trees as a rule but this does seem likely.  Thank you.
