Taking stock of questions to research, itches to scratch, and development work to do.

Although I have been concentrating on my own line of Faulders (who I can trace back to North Cumberland in 1754), I am taking an interest in other lines because they may eventually give a clue to my line further back.
I have also been working with GenMap UK an application that will map Genealogical Data. This has helped me get a view of where there are major groups of Faulders. (more…)
Other posts have made reference to the half-family arising from Catherine Blaylock marrying two Robert Faulders and to the intertwining of various families mainly in North Cumberland in the 18th and 19th Centuries.
This diagram (click on it to see it full size) shows some of the links that have been established.
Widespread belief that the Faulder family is from Southern Scotland
There are various members of the family who have been involved in various aspects of the textile industry, most notably with the Woollen Industry in Yorkshire in particular the firm of Stothart & Faulder in John William Street, Huddersfield

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.
(Comments of the “Are we related” type (much welcomed) are being collated on a collection of “Are we related?” pages.)
Only other descendant found to date is a younger brother Thomas who died as an infant. Documentation relating to the Administration of Catherine Blaylock does not indicate that there are other children.
Not all of William’s children have been traced through marriage and death.
Further work into the Faulders in Cumberland per 1837. In particular were the two Robert Faulders married to Catherine Blaylock related? (speculative work in progress ). At this time life becomes complicated by the variable spelling of the surname.
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!
