Hi ArgyllGran & Chris Ho,

Thanks for the latest finds. Here are my comments:

ArgyllGran
Could Tibley be an incorrect spelling for Sibley (with an S) - her father's name is stated as Sibley LILES on her marriage cert. Perhaps Tibley should be SIBLEY??
With regards to 2x 1881 census finds for Thomas WHEELER - his occupation as time of marriage in 1892 was labourer, so perhaps stable boy or scholar training for sea turned into labourer 11 years later. Hard to tell. I'll see if I can trace an 1891 for either of those Thomas WHEELER's you have found, looking for a stable/horse worker and/or seaman. At least to eliminate if nothing else.

Chris Ho
I don't have any memories of previously request info on George WHEELER, and I've just checked my historical 'watched threads' - no previous requests on the WHEELER family.
Birth of George WHEELER in 1840 Corsham - not sure. I'll see if I can find more info for Continuous Service Number: 30382 that might give more clues as to if it's my George WHEELER or not. Gut feeling says no, but gut can often be proven very wrong with family research.
Yes, Eliza WHEELER baptism is correct. George WHEELER the tailor and his wife Jane were in Somerset in 1851 census - Class: HO107; Piece: 1942; Folio: 454; Page: 5; GSU roll: 221101.
https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/login.asp - this link takes me to the cert ordering page on gro.gov.uk site - not sure how to navigate that site to find maiden names. I never knew they were available before 1912ish. You learn something new every day!
Marriage David WHEELER and Jane TYLER - looks like I wrongly assumed David married a Jane 'TYLER' (indeed Jane TYLER married John HOLMES) - seems it should be Jane WORKMAN - but not finding a marriage for a David WHEELER and Jane WORKMAN.... I have now updated my tree to read Jane WORKMAN. David and Jane are together in the 1841 census with son George at Sandy Lane in Whithing Tithing, Calne District - Class: HO107; Piece: 1168; Book: 4; Civil Parish: Calne Parish; County: Wiltshire; Enumeration District: 6; Folio: 46; Page: 8; Line: 22; GSU roll: 464193. Where is David WHEELER and Jane WORKMAN's marriage registration????
Thanks for Jane WORKMAN's baptism record in 1818 and great marriage find for her parents Robert WORKMAN and Sarah JENNINGS!

You have to register on GRO before you can search...(has been available since end of 2016, I believe)

Yes, it's possible Tibley should be Sibley -

But Tibley (or whatever it might be) is the MOTHER's maiden name, so shouldn't have anything to do with Mary Ann's father's name.

If she invented her supposed father's name, there are a number of births of girls named Mary (Ann) Sibley in various parts of London at around the right time - but no marriage of a Sibley to an Iles or Liles.
None of those are illegitimate births.

I am a registered member of the GRO site, so I will log in and see if I can find the search function - never knew about this possibility since 2016!
I've managed to find all the baptisms for David and Jane's children born in the Bath, Somerset district using the Bath GRO site (like the Gloucestershire site you linked earlier). I also tried hunting in Bath district for a marriage of a David WHEELER and Jane WORKMAN, but didn't find anything.....

ArgyllGran
I'm referring to Chris Ho's possible find (see below) with regards to parents for Mary Ann LILE which might mean her father's surname was SIBLEY which would mean her maiden name was SIBLEY (wrongly transcribed as TIBLEY with a T)? And that it was her mother's maiden name that was LILE.... long shot, but you never know!

Marriage
10 Apr 1842 Christ Church, Southwark
George Sibley (Widower)

Hi Chris Ho,

Thanks for the LILES and SIBLEY info. It may help, even if to eliminate certain factors. Yes, wonderful variety of spelling variants for LILES. Who said the life of a family researcher was dull????

My search continues for the WHEELER's after 1871 census.

Thanks again,
Rebecca
