Hi John.. I have Welch family in my tree from Old Swinford.. Herbert Woodall b1790 Old Swinford married on 25/6/1815 in Old Swinford.. Elizabeth Welch christened 29/5/1796 Old Swinford ..her parents were Daniel Welch christened 1770 and Martha Griffiths born c1765 ..Martha seemed to come from Madeley Shropshire. I wander if our Welch and Griffiths are connected..Will have another look at my records to see what I have found so far, as I havent looked at this mob for a while.. My Elizabeth WElch changed her christian name to AMELIA as I think there was another sibling Elizabeth born and died before she was born and she might not like having the name of her dead sister.. Will get back to you after I have searched my records.. Cheers Mary Sydney Go the Aussies in the Cricket.. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Griffiths" <johnjgriffiths@bigpond.com> To: <ENG-WORCESTER@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, January 03, 2011 1:25 AM Subject: [WOR] WELCH FAMILY > Hi listers, > > All the best for the up coming year to you all > > I’m wondering if someone out there may be able to shed some light on my > paternal 3 x Great-grandfather and his family John WELCH/WELSH and his > wife Mary POWER. > > I’ve managed to piece together, John was baptised 1 Dec 1793 Old Swinford > Worcestershire, Son of James WELCH and Phoebe PARTRIDGE > They married at Halesowen Worcestershire on 29 Oct 1826 > I’ve only ever been able to locate 2 children, but I feel that there’s > probably more. > Phoebe WELCH bap: 18 Feb 1827 at Old Swinford my 2 x Great-grandmother > married Richard GRIFFITHS on 26 Aug 1849 at Holy Trinity Old Swinford > Sarah WELCH bap: 17 May 1829 at Old Swinford > > 1841 he was living at Angel St Stourbridge with wife Mary and daughters > Phoebe,Sarah and he was a shoe maker > 1849 his occupation was given as thread weaver on his daughter Phoebe’s > marriage certificate > 1851 still at Angel St Stourbridge with wife Mary and daughter Sarah and > still shoe maker > 1856 Dec qtr. wife Mary dies at Stourbridge > 1861 30 Angel St Stourbridge with daughter Sarah and Sarah has a 4 year > old son John and still shoe maker > 1871 Stourbridge Union Work House Shoe maker > 1871 Dec qtr. death at Stourbridge > > The only thing I’ve managed to locate on his wife Mary POWER > bap 12 Oct 1792 at Kidderminster Worcester daughter of Thomas POWER and > Sarah no other children located or marriage details > death: Dec qtr. 1856 Stourbridge > > I’ve located what might be John & Mary’s daughter Sarah in the 1871 Census > in Worcester > John WELSH Head labourer born Hereford > Sarrah [sic] Ann Wife born Stourbridge > John Son and a few more siblings. born Stourbridge > > I haven’t been able to locate a marriage for a Sarah WELCH to a John WELSH > and their son is listed as aged 24 and a labourer, but he should only be > 14. > > Can anyone assist in shedding any light on this family group, whether > there was more than 2 daughter and if I’m on the right track with their > daughter Sarah and grandson John > > Happy Days, > John in Newcastle Australia > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > ENG-WORCESTER-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message
