You're welcome .... :-)

Joy Thanks but I think I have it now .... finally ......... Regards Mike

Would you like the 1851 image, Mike? Joy

Heather , Colin and Joy Thanks very much for your assistance. Thought I had a family disappeared on me there !!!! Very much appreciated. Regards Mike

Definitely Wheway, Joy. I know this family, one of them was the parish clerk and witnessed lots of marriages:-) Heather

And I have found John and Martha in 1841, if you would like that image, too - in St Anne, Soho. Edited - forget that - just read backwards again!! Joy

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

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

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

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

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

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 !! )

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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
