  • William Foulds b.1826-1877

    Having a few issues here.

    some of you will have heard of William Foulds who emigrated to Connecticut-USA with his wife Fanny and son William.

    I have William & Fanny's marriage cert but I'm blowed if I can find William on the 1841 smegging census! [I have him on 1851 in Allestree, Derby, England] then in 1860/1870 in USA census.

    What I am looking to achieve is to find William in the 1841 and also look to see if he had any siblings and who his parents were. from records I have him being born in Loughborough, Leicestershire, England. BUT there also appears to be another William Foulds b. 1826 in LOUGHBOROUGH!! [which isn't MY William!] they sure do like to give me the runaround!..lol.

    any help would be most appreciated thanks

    William married Fanny Jan 1st 1844 gives his father as William a BAKER [and this was also William's occupation]

    witness' were Charles Lydall [Fannys brother] and Harriett Hodgekinson [no idea!]

    they marry in the parish church in the parish of Ashby de la Zouch after banns. I am looking at the moment to see if I can spot which of the 8 parish churches this would be!.

    from looking it may be that the parish church would be St Margarets at Blackfordby, which is a hop-skip-jump from Wooden Box [nowadays known as Woodville] where they were living at the time of the marriage.

        Thought it probably was - concerned about change of occupation between 1844 marriage and 1851 census!

              now you have me doubting myself Elaine!... that family that Chrissie found live in Woodhouse Eaves [which is not that far from Lough'bro]

              but is like you say I hadn't even considered the occupations!

              Shoemaker to Baker to Weaver/FWK seems a bit mad and then there is the fact that William says his father is William too and they are both Bakers.. I hate this flipping hobby sometimes.

                  William Foulds married Mary Barkby at St Marys in the Elms, Woodhouse Eaves 23 Feb 1807 Free reg

                  From the same batch number as William (1820)

                  Ann 12 Jul 1814
                  Hannah 21 Apr 1816
                  Eliza 16 Oct 1818

                  Not saying they are yours but might help eliminate them from census.

                  Also around the same time Edward and Elizabeth Foulds are baptising children at the same chapel. Worth looking to see if Edward and William the elder are brothers.

                    Yes, the family has Edward Foulds as the head but he is a show maker and so is William!

                      I have checked the 1841 images for the whole of Wooden Box and there is no sign of a Foulds family there.

                        Have you noticed that on the 1860 US census there is a Henry Foulds immediately above William and his family and the occupation looks much the same as Weaver.

                        Do you know if this is a brother?

                          thanks Margaret, they give their address as Wooden box in 1844, but that doesn't mean that they were living there in 1841

                          I have been trying [unsucessfully!] to see if Harriet Hodgkinson was in fact Harriet Foulds.. but not coming up with much!

                          Hi Lin, thanks I have so many windows open not sure which one I should be looking at first..lol

                              I think this is the Henry living near William in 1860 http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin...iv=1&ml_rpos=1

                              His father is William and he is a Frame Work Knitter.

                              Could this be the father of your William?

                              Perhaps the occupations on the marriage record are wrong or perhaps it's the wrong marriage?

                                    I am fairly confident that it is the right marriage, it's the bride that is actually connected to me, Fanny Lydall, her father is James Lydall a FWK that is my 3x gt grandad.
