Reuben Wadey, missing after 1851

[Jill on the A272]

I can see that there is an R Wady in on ship docking at Ellis Island 1851, b 1832, for some reason Ancestry was being generous to me when I hovered over the record. I don'y have WW ancestry. I think that is what it said, It won't show me now!

ooh that sounds promising, I don't have WW either

[cbcarolyn]

sorry this is really weird it has let me see it again, rather than go to the sign up for WW screen, and it is not him, as just before census that he arrived 9 Mar 1851, and birth 1822....and more importantly he is american!

Thanks for looking, It's surprising how many people with similar names there are alive at the same time

it's ok.. I know what you mean though!.. do you think it's possible/probable that he took his stepdads name?

[Darksecretz]

guess that's a no then.. seven entries for Reuben Jenner and at least 4 of them are female!

[Jill on the A272]

I haven't found anything under Jenner and as his stepdad George Jenner abandoned his family (the rat!) and was never seen again I think it unlikely.

ahh ok.

going to do some sweary stuff now H*******k

[Jill on the A272]

Thankyou for all your & Carolyn's help , I think I will have to put Reuben on the back burner again for now.

he must be somewhere though. No probs re looking, my PDF was due yesterday but it isn't here yet

[cbcarolyn]

Is this yours:


is Thomas Reuben's grandfather?

[Jill on the A272]

I haven't researched the Wadeys back because they were Reuben's father's family and so not my husband's relations as Reuben's mother remarried and my husband is descended from the second marriage to George Jenner. It may indicate that Reuben had kinsfolk in the US as Lower Beeding is not far from where Reuben was last spotted. Thankyou.

[cbcarolyn]

might be useful if you do further research,

the sister Ellen that was on 1841 census with Reuben is here I think as a niece:

so found that uncle with parents in 1841:

Thankyou, I have traced Ellen and her descendants forward, but not the uncle.
