    Default Emily Bull/ Ball born 1872 London

    Was her name Bull or Ball ( maiden name) and her husband John William Strange. these are my Great Grandparents I think I have her Parents names and his too but Im not 100% sure. This is important as I need definates, as I am trying to link my Strange family to Blair Athol in Scotland, pretty sure there is a connection to a Baron or such like

    Hi
    Could this be their marriage? But Newport Pagnell is a long way from Scotland!

    Hi Brian,
    The Scottish connection would be from John Williams side possibly his Grandfather, thanks for the other information

    Ok, Emily's parents John Bull and Mary Cox, I have a vague recollection of someone telling me John Bull helped build the first concrete boat... dont ask me why I remember that.. just random memories perhaps. John William Strange, his fathers name was Charles Henry? my cousin seems to think his wife's name was Caroline Easton, but I dont know, there is a Paul Strange that she was conversing with, I do have a cousin Paul in England, but whether or not its the same Paul Strange I do not know. below is part of the letter from my Cousins David and his wife Diane

    A Census 1891 which clearly has Charles Henry Strange,| 22yrs old,| servant,| House Porter. entered. He is wondering if Charles mentioned is the same little child that is recalled by Nanna etc. Makes sense as the children were put to work on these estates etc apparently. Makes him being born 1869, which means he could have been the illegitamate child. Maybe one of the UK cousins may have some info they may have been told.
    David thinks that looking at John William as his Grandfather, in that case Charles Henry is John William's Father, which makes him the GREAT GRANDFATHER to David's family, Pat(yr Mum) and the cousins in UK. They Charles Henry and Caroline) had 5 children, Fred, George, Harry, Mabel, Alice. Do they ring any bells with anyone? His family also came from Poplar, where David was born and Stepney also in London.
    It all a bit confusing for me.. with the changes in names, and who is the Harry in that list of children... there is no mention of John William??

    Harry could be Henry.......... so perhaps he was known as Harry.
