George Frederic Wandless

Marian Report 7 Mar 2019 20:03

Hello, George was baptised 17 May 1836 at Kirkleatham, Yorkshire residence Coatham, Yorkshire, parents John and Ann Wandless (nee Boazman). John married Ann as Wanless. In 1841 and 1851 George is with his parents as follows

1841 census Coatham Kirkleatham Yorkshire as Wandless

John Pickering 40
Ann 40
George F 5

1851 census Broomside Lane St Giles Durham as Wandless

John P 49 schoolmaster Houghton Le Spring
Ann 47 school mistress Great Stainton (Great Stamton mistranscribed)
George F son 13 Coatham

I got the above off Family Search and on 1851 census they have swapped John and Ann's birth place. The above 1851 is correct.

In 1871 George F Wandless is in Middlesbrough with a family called Powels aged 32, widowed, farm servant, says born Coethen which is probably Coatham.

Can anyone find him on the 1861 census and anywhere after 1871. I also cannot find a marriage on FreeBMD so think this may be a mistake.

I don't need anything on his parents - he does have brothers and sisters but I have them.

Thank you.
