We are now trying to find details on the siblings of my great great grandmother Eunice Wise who married Charles Frederick Basing in 1866. Some of the info may be on our other thread titled Charles Basing marriage in 1851, but in essence, we have the following info on the siblings of Eunice Wise and would love to have some assistance on where we may find more info to complete that part of the family tree for Eunice, sorry about the bulk of info, not sure how else to show what we have to date- any help to enlarge on what we have would be greatly appreciated.
John Wise – father of Eunice. Appears on 1841 census with his wife Mary, and in the 1851 census his wife is Elizabeth. We have been told by another family member that Mary died 1846 in the second quarter but no date known, and we can find no record. John then married Elizabeth, children born by her were Josiah c1844, William Henry c1847 and then Elizabeth died 1851, obviously after the census, on which she appears, but neither William Henry or Josiah appears as part of the family. John then married Susannah with family name of Matten or Hatten or similar, and William Henry appears with them at this census, but not Josiah, .and no evidence for any of these occurrences that we can find, although we found Susannah on the 1861 census with John, but no marriage record found,
Anne Wise, was with the family on the 1841 census, but not the 1851 census. We have been told she married David Houghton in Buckden Huntingdonshire, and died 1909 in Corindap Victoria Australia. We can find no marriage for her, no record of her and her husband David Houghton arriving Australia, and no other information on any children, death details, or any details of her husband, in England or in Australia
Thomas Wise - a marriage to Mary Ann Brown found for us but now found an LDS entry of marriage of Thomas Wise, but spelled Wyse, to Mary Bell on 14th November 1850 at Leighton Bromswold in Huntingdonshire that matched info given us by cousin who claimed the Bell name has figured among her early ancestors, found a Thomas Wise and Mary Bell with the birth of Emily Wise in Victoria 1866 but only LDS entry can be found of their marriage, found the death record of Thomas 1907 and Mary 1885 in Victoria.
Joseph Wise aged 8 on the 1841 census, aged 17 at the 1851 census, not found on the 1861 census, no record of him on shipping lists but believed to have migrated to Australia
William Wise, aged 6 at 1841 census, aged 15 at 1851 census, found him as passenger with Eunice arrived Geelong 16th August 1856 on the ship Omega from Southampton, aged 19, he was shown as aged 21 on arrival. We cannot find anything further on William Wise after his arrival in Australia on that ship.
We have found John Wise after the 1851 census, but only in the 1881 and 1891 census when John, aged 50, and his wife Ann age 43 are living in Kensington , in Bedfordshire, he is working as a Day Gardener. Have found no children for John and Ann, nor could we find a marriage record for them, and no record after this census or of their death, nor any record in the 1861 and 1871 census.
Jonah Wise aged 7 on the 1851 census appears to have moved to New Zealand at some time, as he is also not shown on the census after an entry placing him in the Union Workhouse Saint Johns Huntingdonshire as an inmate and farm labourer at the 1861 census. We then have a record of him arriving Australia 30th March 1864 from Otago NZ on the ship City of Hobart, and it appears he was a witness at the wedding of his older sister Eunice on 11th July 1866 in Geelong Australia, but nothing else can be found of where he went, what he did, was he married, did he have children after that date.
We can find no details of the Josiah Wise who was born c1844 or of William Henry Wise born c1847 (except his entry on the 1861 census) at any site that we have accessed.
