I do hope this isn't your Mrs Wetherall. It doesn't state whose mistress she is (LOL), but she is a widow and coffee couse keeper: Joseph Barns abt 1832 Surrey, England Servant St Martin in the Fields Middlesex Emma Benfield abt 1829 England Servant St Martin in the Fields Middlesex James Hazler abt 1821 N Lodger St Martin in the Fields Middlesex James Hyde abt 1825 Bedfordshire, England Servant St Martin in the Fields Middlesex Ann Pool abt 1824 England Servant St Martin in the Fields Middlesex Susan Pool abt 1851 England Servant St Martin in the Fields Middlesex William Treadgold abt 1828 Essex, England Lodger St Martin in the Fields Middlesex >>>>Martha Wetherell abt 1818 London, England Misbress St Martin in the Fields Middlesex Merry

Thanks Helen but my Jessey is definitely a girl ... Jessey Martha Mike

Hi Merry Nope that's not her either ! Thanks anyway Mike

Mike, do you have any of them in later censuses, so we don't search for an individual who might be dead??! Merry

Merry No , I know John and Martha married in 1840 in Westminster Middlesex but I can't find them in the 1841 census either. All three kids baptised in Middlesex. That's about all I know of them at the moment. Mike

The Martha referred to was the wife of John Wetherell who in 1841 was a coffe shopkeeper.. age 23...they had William who was 10 in 1841 and they lived in Dean St. St Ann Soho Westminster

OOps .. well that has thrown a spanner in the works Colin !!! However John would have been 33 when he married martha in 1840 so its possible I suppose that it was his second marriage and son william came from the first. Thanks Back to the search !! Mike

No...William is shown as 10 and a girl but no relationship shown....John and Martha both 23 so it is possible that he is John's brother....however John is not born in the county whereas William is..... also John would have been 23 not 33 in 1841

So is she the Widowed Mistress??? And if she is, what's she done with her children???? I can't see any of them, nor deaths etc Merry

Wetherall is a Yorkshire name, isn't it?? Not many of them about in London in those days! Merry

No on second thoughts that doesnt work either because my John Wetherell was definitely born 5 Sept 1807 which would have made him 33 years old in the 1841 census.

You probably have this already Name: Maria Anne Wetherell Year of Registration: 1846 Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar District: St Martin In The Fields County: London, Middlesex Volume: 1 Page: 116

Merry Note the spelling of the surname is Wetherell ... have found a few Wetheralls in London but they weren't connected to my bunch. Mike ( Getting more confused by the minute !! )

Christine Yep that is definitely the right Maria .... Maria Ann born 24 Dec 1845. Mike

Thankyou everyone for your help. Will head off and do some more digging !!! Regards Mike

There were four children born St Martins in the Field Jessy Martha Wetherell 1844 John Robert Wetherell1847 Maria Ann Wetherell 1846 George Wetherell born 1848 on the 1851 census is as shown previously Nuneaton Jesse Wetherell age 7 John Wetherell age 3 George Wetherell age 2 They are all born in London and the couple they are visiting are not called Wetherell but I can't make out the surname. These seem to be the children that you are looking for

They are visiting George and Harriott Wheway in Nuneaton George Wheway married Harriet Wetherell in 1839 Nuneaton Heather

Jesse, John and George, born Charing Cross, London, are staying with George and Harriott (Whenay?) in Nuneaton. I have the image if you would like it sent to you. Joy
