I would be delighted to exchange any information that we may have.

Dear Slowhands,

Undoubtably Albert's father - and a great summary of their 1841-1901 census - thanks, Bevan.

Dear Slowhands,

Thanks for that - but Jim Scott & I have previously corresponded and our 2 Gunter families (both originating from Monmouthshire) do not currently appear to be related

Regards, Bevan

Dear Brian, Tom, Ian
I have enjoyed your discussions and added the appropriate parts of the Bath family history to my files.
Benjamin Morris Bath's daughter Fanny Elizabeth b 1864 married Albert Gunter in 1890 - my main interest is in the Gunter family ( originally English Bicknor) connection - have any of you researched Fanny & her Gunter connection

Regards, Bevan

Hi,Ian. Sorry that I directed this to Brian. It does get confusing.

I see that you are the second great grandson of Louisa Hulin. I am the second great grandson of her sister Charlotte. There were 2 other sisters, Caroline and Matilda, all the daughters of James and Esther (Hester) Bannister Hulin. I would love to exchange information with you and anyone else descended from the Hulins.

You listed Louisa's exact birthdate. May I ask where you got it. I only have her baptism date.of 12 January 1824. She was the oldest. James and Esther were not married until after Charlotte's birth in 1825.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello Tom
In actual fact it is Ian Thomas who is Louisa Hulin's second great grandson, see above message from 25 June which I quoted in a reply to him on the same day. I am in fact descended from her husbands grandparents. There is therefore no blood relationship with her but you must be related to Ian I think - it does get quite complicated!

Brian

Hello again Ian

Have you been able to find John Morris Thomas aged about 7 on the 1861 Census? This family seems to be a hotbed of convoluted relationships!

Brian

Ian Thomas — Sat, 25 Jun 2005 14:43:26 +0000

The George Robertson (Roberts) refered to in the 1881 census is in fact my Grandfather George James Thomas. He was adopted after his mother Louisa died, and we believe was abandoned by his father John Morris Thomas.

He would never speak of his father or his early years.

Bath family Lydney (reply)

Ian Thomas — Sat, 25 Jun 2005 14:34:28 +0000

I stand corrected Brian, Benjamin married Louisa Hulin on 24th Feb 1889 & Diana Hyett on the 26th August 1861.

Louisa was married to Richard Morefield Roberts of Coleford born 6th August 1816, died 15th March 1882 at 13 Cottage Grove Lambeth.

Their daughter Louisa Roberts born 11th January 1854, died 30th January 1880 giving birth to her second child. The first being my Grandfather, George James Thomas, born 1st November 1878, died 14th March 1958. She was married to John Morris Thomas born 1854(?)of whom I have have found no trace after Louisa's demise, and have hit a brick wall with his family.

I would be grateful for any other information on the John Morris Thomas'family. There seems to be a common link with the Morris name.

The second wife of Benjamin Morris Bath was my 2nd Great Grandmother,
» Louisa Hulin (b. 1st January 1824, Newland, Coleford GLS. Married 26th
» August 1861; Died 23rd Sept 1908.

Thanks for all this Ian, I have two queries:

a - you have the same wedding date for both wives

b - was Louisa married before? (to Mr Roberts as the stepdaughter in 1901 has the surname Roberts)

I do have one or two extra bits and pieces to add if you would like to send me an email.

regards
Brian

(related) Lodger ? (reply)

Slowhand-s — Mon, 06 Jun 2005 17:25:02 +0000

I know to us the fact that he is lodging there would mean that he does not belong to the family but would it have been the same then?

I have seen Son, Nephew, Grandson, Adopted Son, and possibly a few others but as the relationship to the Head of family gets more complex I suspect Lodger was OK for the Enumerator !

I think this may be right as there is a marriage of Charles Bath and Elizabeth Parker in Newland in 1845. This would also be why Benjamin was 'lodging' with other members of the family

Thanks for this, Martha was visiting Thomas and Elizabeth Collins in Lydney then, shse later married Henry Butler of Ledbury before 1870 I think.
