Find Ancestors

William Amor is my great grandfather on my mothers side. I am unable to find his parents or find him on census records.He was born in 1857 and died in1900. I also cannot finds his wife either, Edith Alice Copley born1862, died 1892. I would like to go back further on this side of my family. Any ideas.

Thanks Maureen
But this is not the correct Amor family
Sheila

do you have the name of his wife correct?


from www.freebmd.org.uk


Marriages Sep 1880 (>99%)

Amor William Ralph Kensington 1a 89
Copley Marian Kensington 1a 89


and Marion Amor died 1892, just as you said



sylvia

Hi Sheila,

Uh-why /which isn't the correct family??

Maureen

Do you have the 1901 Census?

1901 Census

Name: Eleanor Amor
Age: 19
Estimated birth year: abt 1882
Relation: Sister
Gender: Female
Where born: Paddington, London, England

Civil parish: Paddington
Ecclesiastical parish: Emmanuel
County/Island: London
Country: England

Registration district: Paddington
Sub-registration district: St Mary, Paddington

William Amor 18 House Painter
Eleanor Amor 19 Dressmaker
Catherine Amor 15 Dressmaker
Frank Amor 11
Alice Amor 48 b.ca 1853, Marylebone, Middlesex, Aunt, Single, Housekeeper

Address:- 73 Portnall Road



so it looks as though Alice Amor, sister of William Ralph moved in to look after the children after he died ..... and possibly after Marian died.

Maureen
Henry C Amor could be Henry Card Amor, William Ralph's father but who is Henry A Amour he does not tie up with my William Ralph Amor.
Sheila

Just a transcription error. It looks like a C on the image.

Maureen

This is probably "Aunt Alice" from the 1901 Census

Henry Card Amor remarried in 1876 Kensington to Emma Andrews and there is a possible death for Sarah Ann Amor in 1871 Kensington.

This is getting a bit deep for me tonight, need some sleep. Will evaluate it again in the morning. Although I do know that Willam Ralph did have a brother called Frank, but I cannot clarifyhis sister Alice but there is a possiblity. I also think there may have been a FlorencE and a Rose as sisters but I need to speak to a distant relative to find this out.
Thanks everybody, will let you all know when I have set this all up
