Hi Peter Have you researched Paulina WING's family at all? I have been collecting information on all the different WING families from Hull, and the surrounding townships, to see whether any fit into my own family. I don't believe Paulina's does but would be interested to know if the following is correct: 1 John Wing b: 1805 in Dunnington, Yorkshire, England . +Paulina Fewson b: 1809 in Halsham, Yorkshire, England ........ 2 James Wing b: 5 May 1830 in South Frodingham, Yorkshire, England ............ +Annie Sarah Hayes b: 1837 in Chelsea, London, Middlesex, England ........ 2 Eliza Wing b: 1832 in Patrington, Yorkshire, England ............ +Thomas Charlton b: 1831 in Easington, Yorkshire, England ........ 2 Mary Wing b: 1835 in Patrington, Yorkshire, England ........ 2 Emily Wing b: 1837 in Patrington, Yorkshire, England ............ +Robert Richardson b: 1847 in Newcastle, Northumberland, England ........ 2 Sarah Jane Wing b: 1839 in Patrington, Yorkshire, England ........ 2 Thomas Wing b: 1843 in Patrington, Yorkshire, England Regards Barbara Thamm > Subject: Re: [ERY] Hull cholera > From: [email protected] > Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2005 00:32:59 EST > To: [email protected] > >Hello Linda, > >My gt. gt. aunt, Paulina WING nee FEWSON died in similar circumstances in >one of the then, worst slums in Hull.
