The marriage between Edward Wells and Susan Mitchell took place at Stepney Baptist Chapel in Kings Lynn on 18 Apr 1851. Unfortunately the FreeREG entry doesn't include the witness or fathers names or any occupations.

Susan is with her father and brother and others in 1851

Oooh, I see I beat the Rootschat community by 20 minutes for the 1861 census entry, but they haven't proved it's the right people yet!! lol

By the way, haven't a clue where they were in 1911, any ideas? I can't find them.

Sorry folks, i'm having to use library pooters nowadays and here in the rural parts the library shuts early!!!

Been a few changes since i last spoke with most of you, major one being i have had all my FH stuff deleted from my pooter and it's been kidnapped by my now ex other half. Slowly i'm rebuilding everything onto memory sticks from my TP site.


Thanks for looking up the info, i found the marriage on Family Search record pilot about five minutes before Merry yesterday but didn't have tim to add it here. As for the 1911 census, George F Wells and wife Elizabeth haven't appeared from the woodwork but Elizabeth died in late 1911, address given as 40 Colegrave Street, Lincoln. They appear in the street in slightly earlier directories and it would seem they bought/inherited the Elmer Wardrobe Depot shop in 1901 from one George Elmer, hubby of a certain Susan Wells nee Mitchell.


I was hoping to prove that George F and Elizabeth were step sibs and it looks like i was right.

PM on the way Margaret if you still have the images available i would appreciate them.

I'll check that address out in 1911 Glen.

Answered your PM before I read your last post.

Would you believe it, No. 40 Colegrave Street is missing. It goes from 1 - 23 and the 2 - 46 and no 40.

I'll have another try.

I really can't see them in 1911, I wonder with number 40 being missing they didn't fill in their census form.

Mmm

I wonder if the illness the wife had was a factor (though she died in September). Not to panic anyway, the directories, burial register and death cert put them in the same place so it's pretty certain they were there despite the missing census return.

1913 Directory shows #40 is also known as Southdale and it's a different surname listed.

Received the images btw, thanks again.
