Comments for Faulder Family Genealogy http://www.faulder.org.uk/genealogy Genealogy of one of the Faulder families of Cumberland (and of families that married into it) Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:27:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 Comment on George Henry Williamson (b 1845): Briefly MP for Worcester by David http://www.faulder.org.uk/genealogy/?p=144#comment-2020 David Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:27:34 +0000 http://www.faulder.org.uk/genealogy/?p=144#comment-2020 Re the ACL (American Civil War 1861-1865). I suppose it is possible - but I would be surprised about fighting on the Confederate side. The 1861 England and Wales Census shows a "nephew" Thomas Williamson (a tinplate worker) residing at Worcester (England) with his uncle William Blizzard Williamson (the elder). He is shown as being born in 1845 in New Jersey (Union not Confedorate Territory). Possibly Thomas persuaded George Henry (also born 1845, but in London) to travel to the United States? If so, he was certainly back by the 1871 Census. I think I need to do a bit of research (see <a href="http://www.faulder.org.uk/genealogy/?p=437" title="The Williamsons in the United States" rel="nofollow">The Williamsons in the United States</a>) in this area.

I think I need to do a bit of research (see The Williamsons in the United States) in this area.

I believe he ran off as a very young man (a minor I presume) to America to fight.... I think this is perfectly true although I've not seen any supporting evidence as yet. I also believe that one of my mother's nephews, son of her brother Dick, did quite a bit of work on the Williamson family genealogy and discovered that the Williamsons originated in Scotland - I seem to remember Fort William being mentionned though I'm not 100% sure. Unfortunately he died a few years ago and his research is, I think lost.

It is possible she heard this somewhere, as I don't think she would have come up with the idea if she hadn't. I have no proof of it, though! There is some story, which you may already know, that an early Williamson (I don't know if this would have been William Blizard the elder, or his father) ran off to London from Liverpool, and that his wife pursued him with the family and obliged him to face up to his responsibilities. I see that my great-grandfather George Henry, was born in London, and his brother in Cork, so it may simply be that Wm Blizard did go from Liverpool to London, but that the story has been embroidered upon over the years. Another thing that you may or may not know, but there was an "Aunt Evans", and George Evans was presumably named after her. My mother has Aunt Evans's desk, which she still uses. Who she was exactly, though, I don't know. A last thing - I see that Blizard or Blizzard is spelled with one Z or two, but I think that one Z is the original spelling. Blizard seems to be a west of England name, so it's not unlikely that there was a Blizard Great X3 or X4 granny in there somewhere. Could be a clue for future use, but you've probably worked that one out for yourself already. >>privacy cut<< Kindest regards, your cousin Helen in France Hello David,

My great-grandfather was Joseph Thomas Faulder, who married Mary Norton. Joseph came to Australia on a ship called "Helen" in 1841. He was born at Boustead Hill, County of Cumberland. Can you help me? Joseph's son John Richard Faulder was my grandfather. I am looking for relatives in UK. My great-grandfather was Joseph Thomas Faulder, who married Mary Norton.

He married 20 September 1796 Mary Jane Moorby in Skipton on Craven, Yorkshire. They went on to Northumberland, Tynemouth, South Shields Durhamshire and then finally settled in Oswestry Shropshire. He was an exise supervisor. There must be some information out there about the Faulders of Sebergham and also where they lived before... possibly Scotland. Are they all connected? There were many in the parish records of Sebergham. Would like to compare notes with others who are researching this family. Jean in USA Actually, all the members of this William Faulder line except John Thomas who went to Australia, died and I believe I am the only descndant around.
