Find Ancestors

Hi,

I think I've found my great great grandfather James Pullen born in 1861 but I need help finding his wife and what her maiden name is.

I know that they had a family who were born in Eastbourne and that his wife's name is Annie but I'm not sure where she is from, what her maiden name is and when she died. Can anyone help please?

Don't know if this is your John:

British Army WWI Service Records, 1914-1920
Name: John Pullen
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1894
Age at enlistment: 18
Birth County: Sussex
Document Year: 1912
Regiment Name: RA (RH & RFA)
Number of images: 33

Errand boy, born Petworth.

Married Charlotte Jane Ca****n in Plumstead 10 February 1916. Had a son John William.

There are 33 pages, mostly in poor condition on the images so will wait for confirmation if right chap before ploughing through.

EDIT: Marriage record on FreeBMD shows Charlotte's surname as Calnon

As we seem to have the correct family, then this looks to be earlier census records for James (although you will have to buy the marriage certificate to absotlutely sure, as it will give you father's names and occupations):-

John is with the family in 1911 but wondered where he was in 1901?

This looks to be him:-

That's fab.. Helps a lot!!

Can anyone find anything on Annie? This is where I'm having problems!! It's like she disappears pre 1890

This has been corrected to Ceaplen on the 1861 so is possibly connected:

1861

Name: Elizabeth Cerplin

Age: 73
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1788
Relation: Wife
Spouse's Name: John Cerplin
Gender: Female
Where born: Boreham, Sussex, England

Civil parish: Brighton
Town: Brighton
County/Island: Sussex
Country: England
Registration district: Brighton
Sub-registration district: St Peter
ED, institution, or vessel: 27

Household schedule number: 148
Piece: 596
Folio: 131
Page Number: 27

Name Age
John Cerplin 68
Elizabeth Cerplin 73
Emily Cerplin 18 granddaughter
Eliza Cerplin 15 granddaughter

There's also a William Ceaplin (born Sussex) and wife Elizabeth age 41 and 40 in the 1861.

He's an Inspector with the Met Police living in Westminster.

To be sure about anything you really need to buy the marriage cert. to see who Annie's father was and what his occupation was.

I have a look for potential families, and this is the only marriage I can see up to 1865 for a male Ceaplen anywhere in the country:-

Marriages Dec 1849 (>99%)
Aucock Ruth Eastbourne 7 565
Burgess Martha Eastbourne 7 565
xxxxx Ceaplen David Thomas E. Bourne 7 565
xxxxx Godden Harriet Eastbourne 7 565
Morris Edward Eastbourne 7 565
Stephens Charles Eastbourne 7 565
Stretton Sarah Elizabeth Eastbourne 7 565
Tutt Henry Thomas Eastbourne 7 565

................it would fit with a birth in 1860 so may be worth looking into?

This looks to be David and Harriet in 1861:-

.................there is a Maria, but no Ann Maria so maybe not the family you are looking for but most certainly a relative.
