Dear List, I want to thankyou for replying to my posting. Doug my new 5th cousin, Robert and Carole for giving information I didn't have about Alice and Clara in 1901. Annie too was a servant in Horfield, Bristol in 1881.I hope to find why and when they were put in the poorhouse and when they left.I am interested in the whole history of the area and the families involved. I have an extract from Emma and William Tillings Marriage Certificate Her marriage certificate gives her name, age,marital status and place of residence as EMMA THOMPSON 20 year old spinster of Charles Street, Bristol. Her marriage to WILLIAM TILLING, a 24 year old bachelor and maltster of Charles Street took place on Nov. 22nd, 1863 at the Parish Church of St. James, Bristol. Their fathers' names were given as WILLIAM TILLING labourer and WILLIAM THOMPSON labourer. The witnesses were JOHN RADFORD & CAROLINE RADFORD. 1851 census there was a 7 year old EMMA THOMPSON in the Parish of Hawkesbury. Parents WILLIAM 48, MARYANN 40. Other Thompsons in the household were Mary 25,Isaac 15, Mary Jane 12. That would make him 78 in 1881, too old to be the William Thompson in the 1881 census. Horfield Bristol WILLIAM THOMPSON H M Male 64 Tidbury, Gloucester Ag Lab SARAH THOMPSON Wife M F 73 Tidbury, Gloucester Servant EDWARD TILLING 17 grandson Bristol 7 Golden Hill Gloucester This was sent by the list for which I am grateful. I think perhaps I need a birth certificate for EMMA. Edward died 1905 perhaps he was ill. I am new at this and computers so I hope you will have patience with me. I am a double Jones too, 200 years of William, John, Jane and Elizabeth. William Jones married Elizabeth Jones, you never know if you have the right ones, as every 8th person in Wales is a Jones. Thankyou, Jane Elizabeth Jones Gosselin in B.C. Canada, harold&[email protected]
