The baptism record is on Ancestry

He was born in November and baptised in December, on the one I accessed

The man may well have been ‘dead’ to the daughter he left someone else to raise.

I saw the French death and thought it was a bit odd, partly as he was supposed to be dead by 1867 That tree was part of the Geneanet trees on Ancestry.

Added: that tree looks like one of those muddled up ones. The child born in Derbyshire to William F & Ellen Geary in 1838 - when William was 13!!
Also says William is the son of Lionel & Mary.

Correction to the marriage year 1867 not 1868.

According to the burial record for the death of Ellen Froome in 1848 - she was 34 and of Bruton Place ( Ancestry).

1841 census is NOT the family

Don't waste time looking on freebmd......use the GRO index which gives AGE at death

I've not looked for deaths yet but will take your advice and do so on Freebmd.

I have no other information about the any other children born to William and Ellen.
I was searching backwards from Ellen Froom born in 1846 (In London.) She gives the same place of birth on subsequent censuses.

I found her at her Grandmother's and discovered hr mothers name was Geary and then searched on FamilySearch for marriages featuring Geary and Froom where I found the above marriage.

I like the look of the family on the 1841 census you gave me. Thanks

Richard

Daughter Ellen in 1861 is with a Geary uncle in Staffordshire. Then she possibly marries in Nottinghamshire in 1868 giving her fathers details as William Froome, Publican, deceased.

Ellen possibly died in 1848. St George’s Hanover Sq. Worth looking for a second marriage for William.

First question……..have you looked for deaths?

Second…..was Ellen their only child?

Richard Report 22 Jul 2023 17:02

I would be really grateful if anyone can provide any information on the above couple who I have been totally unable to find in the UK census records.

Ellen Geary, was christened in Barton-under-Needwood, Staffs, a village on the River Trent, 5 miles south of Burton-on-Trent, on the 13th August 1815. Her parents were Thomas Geary and his wife Mary who both worked as carriers.

On the 23rd July 1838 Ellen Geary married William Froome at St James Church on Piccadilly. At the ceremony William’s father was named as Lionel Froome and Ellen’s as Thomas Geary.

In 1846 their daughter, Ellen Froome, was born in the District of St Georges Hanover Square south of Oxford Street, London.

Ellen was raised by her Grand-mother, Mary Geary, in Barton-under-Needwood where she was living in 1851.

I assume that William was around the same age of his wife and born in Westminster..

I would like to find out details of William's family and what happened to him and his wife.

Many thanks

Rich
