I did have another though on Cyprian, Woolwich is also the home of the Woolwich Arsenal, this was an enormous area which housed all the workshops and foundaries that made the guns, cannons and ammo for the British Army, we have a Westaway ancester who was a watchmaker who came there to make precision instraments for the Army Ordinance Dept and his sister married the man in charge of the main foundary for making cannons there.  They also employed carpenters and ship and wheelwrights, ropemakers and blacksmiths as well as general labourers and civil and mechanical engineers as well as there being a very large barracks there, it is quite possible that Cyprian might have got a job there as a labourer (depending what his trade was before) there was also a large market garden and farm area to supply food to the barracks. and from there he could have enlisted and gone anywhere in the world, most notably to the peninsular wars.   On the other hand Woolwich is just across the river from the Tilbury Docks which were the bussiest in the world at this time, he could have obtained work as a day labourer in the docks and even enlisted on one of the ships that came in (up to 30 a day) importing goods from all over the british empire, which means he could have ended up in Australia, New Zealand, Africa, India, or in the West Indies as these were the main areas that sent goods into us here in England   I know this makes your job even harder but military records could also be work exploring.   regards Elaine Westaway ________________________________ From: Margaret Siudek <msiudek@talktalk.net> To: eng-lincsgen@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, 2 January 2012, 9:25 Subject: [LIN] Admin. note: January Here is my disappearance. I know quite a lot about him until 1846 & he then vanishes. Cyprian Dalton is clearly quite a scoundrel- and he's my great great great uncle - born 1804 in Friskney. Married 1827 to Mary Ann Brocklesbury. 1834-6 abandons family & is denounced in parish records. I haven't been able to find him in 1841 census- though I found his wife & 3 children in the Spilsby workhouse. Jan 1843 sentenced to 7 years transportation for stealing turkeys. Freed Nov 1846. He then disappears, not in any census, as far as I can see, under that name. Can anyone find him either in 1841, or after 1846? Margaret 4.  January theme for list members:  We are going to help you find lost souls in the census.  Tell us who disappears in 1871, for example, and our detectives will hunt them down and report their whereabouts.  We'll also give you the piece number, the folio and page number so that you can find them yourselves if you don't believe us.  Remember, we can't send a copy of the page to the list because attachments aren't allowed. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ENG-LINCSGEN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ENG-LINCSGEN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
