Trying to find William Francis Edward Charles MANNING, also named as William Edward Francis Charles Manning. He was a seaman in the British Merchant Service around 1855 to 1870. He married Ellen Sophia FISK in Kensington London in 1855. Their children were Alice Manning b.1861 Mile End London; Reuben Manning also known as Reuben Howes b.1863 Mile End, John Howes Manning b.1867 Mile End, Alfred Manning b.1871 and Walter Manning b.1872-1873. William Francis Edward Charles Manning may have come from Ipswich, born 1820-1830. His father was William Manning, a surveyor, perhaps the one living in Halstead Essex with his wife Sarah in the 1861-1881 census.

Jennifrer

Please read the advice you've been given......no point in repeatedly posting the same thing, when it won't be seen by the person you're aiming it at

I think that Jennifrer would like to find out more about him and his relatives.

Could you say how you got back to him, and which child of his is your direct ancestor?

Thank-you
