Find Ancestors

I would like to thank Michael, Susan, Julie, and Zena, for their kindness in helping me through my first venture on to the message board. I now know much more of what happened to Faith Dennis.Thank you all for your patience. Regards Gillian

Thank you for that Michael and for all your help. I can see how that could be. regards Gillian

Many thanks Zena regards Gillian

Gillian
The family may well have called him Iolan ( though the Welsh form of John is usually Ioan .... that's ioan not LOAN !!)) but he was registered as John.
Same way that Henry becomes Harry, Francis turns to Frank. Ann is Nancy etc etc.
No name change, just variations.

was just browsing yes there is still a bolehall road in glascote tamworth. regards zena

Susan

It could be cos of the writing the l could be the J & the la could be the H

Take Care Julie :o))

I think that Susan's census on page one does seem to be the right family. I must accept that I am reading the name wrongly although having looked again at my printout it still looks like I o l a n. Thanks Julie regards Gillian

Is the census that Susan posted on page 1 not the right family then.

When i put the name Iolan into the search for the 1861 nothing comes up

I thought it was the same Iolan the way I read it, on the 1861 census living at GlascoteTamworth with Sarah 59 widow and Faith dau 19 and Grandson which I read as Iolan which is a welsh boys name. I have either read it wrong and it is John, or this is not `my' Faith. My ancestor is Faiths brother Benjamin b1835 Trevethin. I am mixed up now ! Regards Gillian

Thankyou Julie. I have a print out of the 1861 census for 104 looks like Bolehall GlascoteTamworth, giving Sarah as head Widow,59 Faith dau.19 and then grandson 7 months which I have read as Iolan, and there is such a welsh boys name . However I accept what you say. It is either not `my' Faith or I have read it wrong. Thank you for taking the time to answer. Regards Gillian

His name wasn't changed to John

His birth was registered before the census was taken, but the 1861 census has his name down as John anyways

So Iolan is the John that has been found in 1861 and 1871, is that right? Do you need help with anything else?

Thank you very much Susan. I have got myself in a tizzy with my first messaging. Im sorry if i got the protocol wrong. please forgive me and many thanks for your help.Gillian

Faith Dennis 1843 . Iolan 1861 Sarah and George Dennis parents both1802. Regards gillian

I found census for Sarah Dennis Faith Davis and baby Iolan living in Tamworth1861 census.I Googled the name Iolan and it comes under Welsh boys names. ? changed to John later for some reason.

I might as well add the missing census...
