James Henry Weldon 1853 Jan-Feb-Mar Southampton Hampshire

Henry c1884 is in Southampton with grandmother Emma on the 1901 census.

freeBMD has an Emma died Dec 1904 Southampton.

In 1891 James Henry is a Cargo Measurer in the Harbour and they have another son Thomas c1872.

James Henry Weldon c1832 parents James Henry c1811 and Mary Ann c1806, siblings George c1837 and Agnes c1840.

James Henry c1809 was born Worthing. In 1851 there are more children, Mary Ann c1847 and Fanny c1851.

James Henry Welden married Mary Ann Peace 16 JUN 1831 All Saints, Southampton.

In 1901 Caroline c1886 is with her aunt Agnes Snowden (nee Weldon).

I have an interest in this, as my grandmother was Annie Weldon, born in Souhampton, and her father was George Weldon born 1837, who was almost certainly Arthur,s brother.George's parents were James Henry Weldon& Mary Ann Brice( not Pearce), and James Henry Weldon& Emma were the next generation back.I would be glad to have any further information that you have. What was on the site was very interesting.Beryl

Arthur Weldon1860 - 1904 was the brother of my gt grandfather (James Henry Weldon).

His siblings were

James Henry 1858 m Emily Elizabeth Baker
Agnes 1853 m Tom Cotton Snowden
Emily 1856 - 1857
Walter 1863 m Louisa
Emma Eliza 1854 m Leonard Dowley
Frederick 1868 m Louisa Read
Thomas Bowers 1871 - 1951

I have a copy of the will of Tomas Bowers Weldon and also correspondence relating to it. Henry Weldon ( Arthur's son) is somewhere in Africa in 1951 and I suspect Caroline became Mrs Hunter and emigrated to Canada (I need to prove this)

Arthur died 2 Feb 1904
Emma (his mother) died 4 Dec 1904

I hope this useful to you. I will be interested of any other information found relating to the Weldon family

Caroline Elizabeth Bowers Weldon was my grandmother so you can confirm both Hunter and Canada. I would appreciate any other information!

William -

the last message posted on this thread was in 2007, so Morine won't be looking here for replies now.
Indeed, she doesn't appear to be a GR member any more.

Christine, to whom you were really replying, I think, has only 2 posts to her name - so also isn't likely to be looking here for replies, either.

You could try clicking on her name and sending a message that way. If she's still on GR's radar, and still has the same email address, they'll notify her that there's a message for her.
