Anyone bored?
If anyone wants to look for a birth/ baptism for Joseph Wilks around 1815ish.
He had a younger brother, William. No idea how much younger. Mother was supposed to be Mary, a straw bonnet maker. They were from St Philip and St Jacob. Only one I know is Bristol, but could be others.

It would be helpful to know what happened to either of the brothers and how you have the info above. eg if they went to Australia there's no point in my looking on the UK census etc.

This William has wife Caroline here:
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...79&pId=7584721 but I think the mother of most of the children was Frances (not confirmed mmn yet). Frances may have died in 1849, but I can't see a second marriage (or a first yet!). Note there is a son Joseph.

I don't associate straw bonnet making with Bristol at all, but I suppose there were some! More of an east of England occupation.

There are trees with these people. Some have linked an 1841 marriage at Bedminster, but the Bride's name is Fanny Rankmore when the GRO index for the daughter b before that marriage (in 1838) has the mmn as Lewis, so would need further looking at!

The tree I'm looking at (first one!) has a brother Joseph for William. Joseph emigrated so that ooks like the people you are after. However, they have no baps for the two brothers and the parents names could have originated from the info on that 1841 "wrong" marriage cert (which has father William Wilkes, Labourer). I need to look more closely at the registrations for the children to see if Rankmore comes up anywhere.

Sorry Merry. I should have said Joseph came to Australia in 1832 as a convict and his brother as a free settled a little while later. I really know very little else. Just helping someone going through convict files.

Maybe they were baptised at the same place and time as my 3xg-grandmother Ann Sage who was supposedly born in the parish of St Philip and St Jacob around 1815. I have never managed to find her baptism although there are some for some of her siblings.

Have you seen this article Libby?
http://www.tasmanianwarcasualties.co...s%20Joseph.htm it seems others have found the Bristol records hard to access.
