Hi Listers and Nivard, I agree it is an unusual way to start a post, but as the last few editions were all about trees on Ancestry etc. and their pros and cons I thought I would make it plain that I like to do my own research and not copy from others. I did not put any specific information about the Wenmans as they are such a huge family I hoped that someone on the list just might have a connection to them. I could write a book about their various escapades. But I still have mysteries I am trying to solve. I tend to find out as much as I can about ancestors, rather than just collect names and dates. Georgina Wenman is one of the most difficult. She was born 1849 in Christchurch, Surrey to Henry Wenman and Georgina Sarah Spaughton, her parents did not marry until 1866, but all children were registered and baptised as Wenman. She married Edward Wright in 1870 at Waterloo, Surrey. The only census they appear in is 1881. They had 3 children Horace Edward in 1872, he died the same year. Ada Mary in 1876 and Marion in 1879. In 1891 Georgina had another child Horace Sydney, he was born in the Lambeth Workhouse and she gave Edward Wright as his father. He was born 3rd Jan and Baptised 14th Jan. His baptism Gives Georgina as a single women. Obviously they had split up but there is no further sighting of Edward, Georgina or Horace. There is a possible death for Georgina in 1908. The older children are just as ellusive, Horace no 1 was baptised, Ada Mary may or may not have been registered as there are many Ada Mary Wrights. Marion is a complete mystery, I have tried many variations, but maybe this is her second name or a nick name. So father and children have disapeared also Georgina. And thats just one of the members of the family. I am sure they all tried to outdo their parents in their marital wanderings. So if anyone has a connection to the Wenmans I would be pleased to hear from you. kind regards Sylvia.
