Wow What a lot of information. I already knew my family line as I have many of the death certificates & have researched the direct line back to the early 18th century. I started because of the family legend that A Wait (as it was then spelt) married a Wintour. Certainly the Waits then named a son in each generation Wintour as is the custom when a Wintour woman married. Sure enough I found the marriage of John Wait to Sarah Wintour ( d. of James Wintour) they had Thomas who had Joel/ Joseph -yes both names were used .J/J had John , my g grandfather. He married priscilla They had Walter Henry, my grandfather who married Katherine Bevan & their children were John Charles, George & Martha priscilla, my mother.
Walter had 3 other brothers Joelwho died in 1922 Wintour & Albert. His father John had risen from being a tinplate labourer to management of Richard Thomas tinplate works, ending up in Abercarn. Wintour also managed Richard Thomas works
Charles was the one "Black Hole" in my research so thank you all for helping to shed light on him
I am quite over-awed by your ability to sort things out
If anyone wants info on the Wintours I have loads& with a few gaps can trace them back to the Norman Conquest
