Hello Gabriella

I think we have confused you with too much information in one go!

On the baptism of Thomas Wintle (junior) his parents are named as Thomas Wintle and Sophia Harris. So far I haven't found a marriage in those two names. However, there is this marriage in Gloucester:

This is only speculation, but I am wondering if Sophia and Harris were BOTH Christian names. Not that unusual for children to be baptised with (for example) the maiden name of their mother as a Christian name. If it is (IF!) then Thomas married a Sophia Harvey.

We need to see if there is a baptism somewhere for a Sophia Harris Harvey!

Thomas Wintle (junior) is the one that married Mary Jane COLEMAN.

Ref: the Hansells.

From the September Quarter of 1911 Mother's Maiden Names started to be included in the GRO Index which you can see on FreeBMD.

So the children are registered as Hansell but it then gives Wintle as the MMN.

We all wish they had done that that from the very beginning in 1837 'cos it would have made researching a lot easier!

Here is Dorothy's baptism. As you can see, Walpole was a second Christian name. You would have to do more research to find out where the Walpole name came from!

Can I suggest you write out a tree on paper with the info you now have? It all gets very confusing when you are trying to remember everything you have found out! Work back from your husband and add his parents, grandparents etc.

Come back to us if you get stuck, or there is something you don't understand. There are lots of Parish Records for Wintles on this site which should help you find 'family groups.'

Cheers
Chris
