Find Ancestors

Hi all, My last look up of the night then bed! Can I have details please of Alexander W Anderson b Wellington, Shropshire 1875 from the 1891 Census. He shouldn't be too hard to find with a name like that! I hope someone can help. Thanks, Simon.

i can see him in 1881 and 1901 but not 1891 Jeanette

Do you have the names and birth details of his parents? Reg

Thanks for looking into this. I don't have the father except Anderson!! the mother may be Mary Emma (Vaughan) Anderson b 1866 Wellington, Shropshire. I hope this helps. Simon.

Can I suggest that you try to find him in 1881.......go to www.familysearch.org 1881 is completely free on there.........the details you find will help with the search. Reg

This would seem to be the relevant birth reg'n...the cert would eliminate all doubts as to his parentage. Name: Alexander William Anderson Year of Registration: 1875 Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar DISTRICT: Wellington Sal County: Shropshire Volume: 6a Page: 824 Reg

are you sure of her birth date it would make her only 9 when Alexander was born Jeanette

As he is a 'cousin' in 1881, there is no way other than buying the birth cert to learn both of his parents' names...............his father's name would be on his marriage cert........ Reg

Jeanette, Reggie, Thanks for your help. How he is related as a 'cousin' in 1881 is the baffling part. There's nearly fifty years difference. I can't begin to find a link that way at the moment. I'll keep trying. Thanks again, Simon.

Mary E Anderson in 1901 census is 'single'. Albert is her son. Reg

Jeanette, Reggie, I've got a theory I'm working on. Will let you know about it but all a bit shady. Cheers, Simon.

1861..........Mary E Anderson is living with Joseph Vaughan........described as his niece..........so it's likely that Alexander's description as 'cousin' in 1881, would have been slightly inaccurate........he would have actually been a nephew, as in later censuses he is described as Mary's brother Name: Mary Emy Anderson Age: 8 Estimated birth year: abt 1853 Relation: Niece Gender: Female Where born: Wombridge, Shropshire, England Civil parish: Wellington County/Island: Shropshire Country: England Registration district: Wellington Sub-registration district: Wellington ED, institution, or vessel: 10 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 115 Household Members: Name Age Mary Emy Anderson 8 Mary Ann Hazledine 23 Housekeeper, b.

Mary E Anderson listed in the 1901 is the sister of Alexander. She was born c1855. Births Jun 1853 Anderson Mary Eppy Wellington 6a 699 In 1871 Mary Eppy Anderson is a servant In 1861 Mary Erry Anderson is niece of Joseph Vaughan 1851 Thomas Anderson 27 is a draper in New Street Wellington, with wife Mary, sister Ephy Anderson (Eppy/Ephy are pet names for Euphemia) 1850 Thomas Urquhart Anderson married Mary Vaughan Wellington Sep 1850 18 236. Alexander therefore should be the son of Thomas & Mary but he could be the son of Thomas and a 2nd wife, or widowed Mary may have had son without marrying again?
