Thread: searching for ancestors of the spalding and warren famililes

Hi dapter,

I have moved your post from 'Site Help and Information' to 'Request Help With Your Family History Research', as it should attract the site helpers more in it's new location.

I have some good news. The marriage is on 'Ancestry London England Marriages and Banns 1754-1921' database.

All Souls Church, St Marylebone, Middlesex, 7th Oct 1849.

John Spalding, full age, bachelor, French Polisher, father: John Spalding (farm labourer)
Ann Warren, full age, spinster, father: William Warren (Tailor) Deceased.
Witnesses: Maria or Marion Warren (unclear) and Henry Lewker??? again unclear.

Do you know if they had a son William John born 1851?

I am assuming John and Ann emigrated to Australia, if they did do you know when? I cannot find them on the 1851 census.

Where in Australia did they settle?

Looking at the 1841 census there's more than one Ann Warren born circa 1832 with parents William and Ann, but I don't see one which has a William occ Tailor.

If you already had the marriage, I assume you have access to Ancestry's records. I'd advise you to look for a family with a Maria (witness to marriage) also look at deaths for William Warren pre 1849. A big problem for you is not knowing where Ann was from, just because she married in London doesn't mean she was born there.

You didn't say when the couple moved out to Australia, do you know?

I think this might be your william Warren on 1841.

This ties in quite nicely with the marriage slizzy found at Westminster Langham All Souls 7th Oct 1849 where both were of full age and where father of Ann was William Warren a tailor and one of the witnesses was Maria Warren.
