Adam, what info do you want and what do you already have? If you know his mother, assume you have traced backwards already?

I need more info on him and his immediate family and ancestors.

I want to find out how many siblings he had and want to go back further with his mother and father.

I have the names of his mother and father and sister but can only seem to find his mother (a widow), Charles and his mother’s grandson Joseph Whitelock in one census (1851)

His sister was Mary Ann Violetta Ward c1830 was married Joseph Whitelock c1825. I have the Marriage cert with John Ward as her father an accountant.

At the moment I have hit a brick wall so any info would be appreciated

Unfortunately not, the only info on Charles I have is from the 1851 census he appears in.

Im not even sure of his Occupation as I can not make it out ( ? ? maker)

Thanks for your help and time.

He's an apprentice to a paper mould maker.

Are you sure he is Charles D? It looks more like Charles S to me.

Possible parents for Susanna:

SUSANNA IRONS Female
Birth: About 19 MAY 1808 Grove Independent, Camberwell, Surrey, England
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parents:
Father: JOSEPH IRONS Family
Mother: MARY ANN

Not a christening record as Baptists don't baptise infants: this would have been a dedication service.

Thank you for all your help, it is appreciated.

I can apprentice to a paper mould maker in the census now.
Trying to decipher the old faint writing is really difficult.

I came to the conclusion the middle initial was D because of the similarity of the D in Dartford.

I know I will need to find hard evidence of what his middle name was so keep in mind S as a possible initial

Thanks again for your help
