Hello.

I am seeking information on my Great Grandfather, William Henry Wellock, born in 1829 or 1830, in Bristol, England, i"ve been told. He married Susan Wyman and they lived in Gloucestershire, probably in Cinderford, where my Grandfather, George Wellock, was born in 1857.

The family came to America in the 1880's. Any information you may provide on William Henry Wellock - names of parents, his birthplace, occupation, etc., will be most greatly appreciated.

Thanking you in advance

Jane

Is there an 1880 or 1881 Census for Gloucestershire (Cinderford)?

I am searching for a listing for William Henry Wellock (born in 1829 or 1830) and whatever information would be entered there concerning him. Any assistance would be most appreciated. Many thanks.

Hi
Is EDWARD WAYMAN b.1869 any relation to you - basket maker by trade and lived in Huntley. He married Agnes Daunter approx 1888. Edward Wayman was struck by lightening and died of a stroke in 1904 leaving Agnes to bring 6 children up. They all went to either Mullers Orphanage or Watts Naval Training School (Barnardo's).

There have been people around Old Basing since the earliest times. Flints from the Stone Age were picked up at Wellock's Hill near The Lime Pits
