George Henry Williamson (b 1845): Briefly MP for Worcester

George Henry Williamson was (in 1906) briefly elected Conservative and Unionist MP for Worcester before being disqualified.

It was suggested that members of his team had bribed voters to vote Conservative. After a petition by the Liberal Party the result was declared void. (more…)

The whereabouts of Joseph Sewell and Emily Faulder at the time of the 1891 census.

Joseph Sewell and Emily Faulder do not appear to be in the 1891 census.  It may be that they were abroad (possibly together on business).  (more…)

Inter-relationships of other surnames marrying into the Family

Investigating other surnames marrying into the Family – particularly where there are two people of a particular surname marrying in – raising the question as to whether they are related.

  • Forster surnames: Annie (m Joseph Faulder 1919), Eliza (m Edward Norman 1856)
  • Graham surnames: Elizabeth (m George Blaylock 1828), Deborah (m William Faulder 1921), Janet (m Thomas James 1706?)
  • Jackson surnames: Ann (m Robert Faulder 1754), William (m Hannah Faulder 1858),
  • James surnames: Edward (m Mary Falder 1738), Elizabeth (m William Blaylock 1765?), Thomas (m Eleanor Faulder 1855)
  • Pattinson surnames: John (m Catherine Faulder 1855, m Elizabeth Faulder 1859), John Lawson (m Mary Faulder 1900).
    • Catherine and Elizabeth Faulder were sisters, and consequently John’s second marriage was, at that time, illegal. The 1835 Deceased Wife’s Sister Act (Lord Lyndhurst’s Act) made such unions illegal until it was repealed by the 1907 Deceased Wife’s Sister’s Marriage Act.
  • Story surnames: Emily (m Joseph Sewell Faulder 1882), Annie (m Tom Clark 1929)

(Comments of the “Are we related” type (much welcomed) are being collated on a collection of “Are we related?” pages.)

Descendants of William Faulder

Not all of William’s children have been traced through marriage and death.

  • the family of his daughter Isabella who married Thomas Clark (and had two children and at least four grandchildren – known family treeopen pdf window). I am now in contact with the daughter of one of those grandchildren.
  • whether his son Thomas married (shown as ‘single’ in 1891 census, as ‘wid’ in 1901 census), but no record found for either his marriage or the death of his wife.
  • whether his daughter Sarah who married Robert Telford in 1868 but who died in 1870 – to investigate further for any children.

Review of Faulder Families in Cumberland

Filed under: 1837-1911,Faulder,Status: Work in Progress — Tags: , — David @ 10:32 pm

Initially concentrating on Faulders born in Cumberland (and their descendents) as detailed by the censuses of 1841-1911.  This work is being held on Ancestry.co.uk.  There would appear to be about five strands of Faulders in Cumberland.  By charting them it is possible by matching some people to unrelated strands to be certain that they are not part of our strand.  Unless, of course, tracing their ancestors gives a clue to ours!

Other Families which are interweaved into Faulder descendants

Where surnames crop up a number of times, I want to know if they are related to each other (for instance have two brothers married two sisters). This Chart of Surnamesopen pdf window shows how some of the families are interweaved. (more…)

Ancestors outside the main paternal line.

The following family trees show my cousins (living generations though are not shown). (more…)
