William Upchurch 1888

[bobtonks]

George Upchurch was born in Histon, 6 January 1866, to John and Marianne Upchurch.
In 1891 he married Caroline Fromant daughter of William and Naomi Fromant. They had a daughter,  Florence May 1892. in 1911 the record shows they had just one child.
In 1901 George & Caroline are living in Histon with their daughter Florence (. Living with them and recorded as their son is a William Upchurch, born Histon 1888, three years before they married.

Can anyone shed some light on William?

Might be worth considering this birth for a William Upchurch Fromant Jul - Sep 1887 in Chesterton RD, Cambridgeshire. No mother's name is recorded. A digital image from Gro would show if Caroline was his mother.

1891 census has a Willie Fromant recorded as grandson of William and Naomi. His age has been transcribed as 6 but looking at the original I think it is actually 4.

Thanks for looking. I looked in GRO as you suggested ....  William Upchurch Fromant 1887 3b 466.

The 1891 census for Willie Fromant, grandson does look like a six to me, could be a four, but I think you are correct anyway in suggesting that this is William Upchurch Fromant 1887.

Well done. and thank you.

After 1901 is he a Fromant or an Upchurch?

[Kay99]

I think in 1911 he is William Fromant age 23 b Horningsea a Gunner Royal Garrison Artillery in Lisgard, Cheshire
