Looking for: William Charles Woollett b 1849 Maidstone, Kent died 1885. I have him married in 1877 to Louisa and have them from 1881 onwards. I haven't got marriage cert, so don't know who his parents are. If anyone would take the time to search on Ancestry, I'd be grateful. I believe they would/should be in Maidstone area. Images would be gratefully accepted ;-) Elaine :-)

Mine was at one point a 'Labourer in Paper Factory' if this narrows the field down ? Elaine :-) This could be one of the reason's that I have no further info on him .... not knowing who he should be with.

Ann Woollett abt 1821 Deddington, Oxfordshire, England Head Thornham Kent Ann Woollett abt 1849 Maidstone, Kent, England Daughter Thornham Kent George Woollett abt 1858 Bearsted, Kent, England Son Thornham Kent **William Woollett abt 1850 Maidstone, Kent, England Son Thornham Kent This one is a servant by 1871.

This second one looks more likely with being born Maidstone .... but as you say, your searching blindfolded. Thanks anyway esta, I was hoping just 'one' would pop up :-) Elaine :-)

Sorry by previous posts aren't very clear. The family info is from 1861...I then found the same familys in 1871 for the occupations .... (in 1861 William was a scholer) Esta

The william Woollett( Maidstone )might not be a servant on a farm by 1871 - I found anothe possible down as grandson living with grandparent's.......do names mean anything to you ? No paper connection though these are Ag Lab !! 1871 England Census Ann Woollett abt 1805 Thompson, Kent, England Wife Maidstone Kent Eliza Woollett abt 1844 Bearsted, Kent, England Daughter Maidstone Kent John Woollett abt 1805 Maidstone, Kent, England Head Maidstone Kent ***William Woollett abt 1851 Maidstone, Kent, England Grandson Maidstone Kent

I'm thinking the second one might be more likely. William was with family in mAidstone in 1871 and so was Louisa in mAidstone with her family.......!!....MC would solve it for you !

Just had a look at the image for Louisa and her family in 1871........There's a paper connection with them brother is a paperworker sister is employed by paper.................. and there's a visiter who is a paperworker. What do you think ?? and in 1861 her father is a Stoker at Papermill !

Hi Esta, I've got the 1861 image for Louisa/Selina with family ... Dad James being a Stoker in paper Mill ..... but have no images for info after that for James, Maria etc. Would you be so kind as to follow them through for me ? Would appreciate 1871 image and any others. I think you should have my e.mail addy but just incase I'll send it again ... (erznmine) via pm. Seems that William joined the Paper side of things once he got married then. No need to try any further info on him ... as you say, I need the MC. Elaine :-) I feel so helpless without access to Ancestry, its really frustrating me.
