William Whitehouse

[mhetfield]

yea rosie99,

But there is no real link besides a name, William listed his father as Richard a couple of time but who really know could it be Isaac Richard or another name.

at the moment I am just going with the best guess.

I have spent years on this lol still no luck, thank you all for your help.

Have you considered ordering the death certificate for Richard in case it gives any clues, you can get a digital copy for £2.50

I believe that Richard may be Richard Whitehouse who married Sarah Priste at Marston Bigot 26th November 1820.  In 1841 he is in Paulton age 64 occ Moulder with Sarah age 63 and an Elizabeth Whitehouse age 17.  Richard and Sarah were not bn in County, Elizabeth was.

Also marrying in Marston Bigot were John Whitehouse and Jane Priston - 18th August 1822, one of the witnesses was a Richard Whitehouse.  John and Jane baptised a son Richard 15th October 1825 at Frome, also a daughter Elizabeth 15th July 1823 (abode Bath Street).  In 1851 dtr Elizabeth can be found at Stoneham Street, Great Coggeshall, Witham, Essex, unmarried with 2 daughters.

Just wondering if the 2 wives were sisters and one of the surnames incorrectly transcribed, they are similar. 
...

I am also wondering if Richard's marriage to Sarah was a second marriage for him.  Could your William have been a child of the first marriage  .


The other family who were resident in Frome were Isaac Whitehouse and Grace Spencer who married in Frome in 1824, they lived in Fromefield though Isaac is not with them in 1841.  By 1851 they are in Colchester, Essex.  Isaac was born c1803 in West Bromwich, Staffordshire. occ Master Iron Founder.

Richard was a Moulder
John was a Foundryman
Did they all originate in Staffordshire area

ADDED An online tree suggests that when William married in Australia in 1856 he was a widower

I have added a link for William Whitehouse its most information I have on him at this time.

It does say they think he may be a widow and also has a child.

I think William was a widow but did not have a child. the child in question is she second wives oldest child. Mary Jane Branigan Born 1848 to Charles Branigan and Catherine Kain/Cain

I have started trying to find out what happened to the Whitehouse families that were in Frome 1840/50's just in case there were clues or so they could be eliminated. 

Isaac and Grace moved to Essex
Grace died in March qtr 1852 and Isaac remarried.  In 1861 his wife and children were in Chelmsford, in 1871 they were all there. Isaac was age 67 born West Bromwich. 

John & Jane had 2 children Elizabeth in 1823 and Richard in 1825 - Richard was buried c1827.  There are 2 possibilities for Elizabeth in 1841 one in the Asylum in Frome, the other living with Richard and Sarah in Paulton.  I can't see John or Jane in 1841

It is not possible to add images to a post on the 'look up' boards.

In 1861 at Coleford, Kilmersdon are a James Weeks occupation Tailor age 62 born Radstock, Somerset and his wife Ann age 57 born East Stoke (?) .  They are still there in 1871.
Just found them there in 1851, also there is a Sarah Widcombe a widow age 78 (bn c1772) born Gt Cheverill - could that be an enumerators error and be Sarah Whitehouse.  A Sarah Whitehouse was buried at Coleford 10th May 1854 age 82 (bn c1772).  Interesting that James Weeks is a tailor 

A James Weeks married an Ann Priston in Marston Bigot 6th August 1835.  Ann is possibly the sister of Jane who married John Whitehouse.   

What happened to John and Jane after the burial of their son Richard at St Johns in 1827
