Wiseman Family, again

Peter Rogers has contacted me with some further thoughts and information concerning Sandra's search for the Wiseman family. This is what he said:

Steve,

Read you info ... re: Wiseman family in that region.
I have information on my mother's side (née Wiseman) from an 1881 census. There seems to be some connection.

A John Wiseman, my GG Grand Father was born in Glemsford in 1830 (horse hair curler), married Amelia ?? (b. 1836 Whitechapel London).

They had 7 sons all born in Melford: Charles John, b.1861( Bread Baker), Walter b.1863 (horse hair curler), G William b.1867 (Labourer in factory), Thomas b.1869 (my great grandfather and lived mainly in London?? and married Annie Lewis b. 1869), Arthur b. 1871, James b. 1875, Joseph b. 1878.

John Wiseman may have been a son of Richard, and a twin of James - dates fit??
In 1881 they were living in Cock and Bell Lane, Long Melford.

I have yet to go back to earlier census info to track down more.

Yet again, I am delighted, if not amazed, at the power of this medium. Thanks to you all.
If any one else has more to contribute, please let me know. Obviously, I have email addresses for most of my contacts, although I won't, as a rule, publish them here.

Wiseman Family #2

Sandra is very grateful for Sue's suggestions (see Comments to the previous post).



If anyone has further information, please do not hestitate to get in touch.



Very tentatively, I'm wondering if there may be a connection to the Hampstead/Pearman genealogy - but I rush to add that this pure unhistorical speculation!

Wiseman Family

Sandra has approached me for help with some of the detail for her family:

My great, great, great grand father was RICHARD WISEMAN, born c1795.

He married ISABELLA CLARKE at GLEMSFORD CHURCH on 20 March 1820.

They had possibly 6/7 children, church records show most of them as baptised at the church:
LEONARD GOTTO 1820
WALTER 1822 RICHARD'S TRADE molster?
ARTHUR 1824 RICHARD'S TRADE miller
SUSANNAH 1826
JOHN 1828 my great, great grandfather
JAMES 1830
GEORGE C1832 died 1832 aged 7? buried at the church

When Arthur married, at Long Melford in 1851, the marriage certificate stated that his father, RICHARD WISEMAN was deceased; a miller.

I have been able to trace some of the siblings of RICHARD and ISABELLA to Long Melford, some I believe stayed in Glemsford: e.g. the 1901 Census shows a son of the above John (1828), Walter, living with his wife, Mary and their children in Brook Street.

I would very much like to continue back to trace RICHARD'S history, where he was born, his father, whether he an Isabella stayed in Glemsford.

Sandra knows there was some connection with the Horse Hair Industry.

If anyone can help, please use the usual channels.
