THOMAS CUNNINGHAM

Post by homepridefred »

Hi

Is anybody related to Thomas ( circa 1812 ) + Frances Cunningham
( Circa 1820 ) ( Maiden name unknown )

They had 9 children, Janet, Frances, Jane, Mary, Ada, William, Edith, + Emily.

I am interested in the son William, born circa 1855

I can find him on the 1861 + 1871 Census, but not 1881 onwards.

I believe him to be my Gt Grandfather, William Cummings.

Does anybody know of this Cunningham Family and what happened to William

Many thanks

Could you post the 1861 and 1871 census entries. In 1861 I think he was at Marine Terrace in Crosby with parents and siblings. The family appear well do father listed as merchant and onwer of ship on one census and fundholder on another.

Also why do you think he is your William Cummings?

As we did explain in the other post, verification has to be obtained step by step.

Have you now decided that Thomas is your William's father?

Have you now confirmed your William's wife's surname by means of the birth certificate of one of the children?

Have you confirmed William's parents by means of Beatrice's birth certificate?

Without 100% certainty our crew are providing answers which could be leading you completely along a different family.

WILLIAM CUMMINGS ? CUNNINGHAM ?

Post by homepridefred »

Hi

I have Henry's Birth Cert ( Beatrice's brother / My Grandfather )
One of 10 Children.

Father William Cummings, Mother Eizabeth Giles ( I have Marriage Cert )

Williams father is Thomas a Ships Stower ( stoker ? )

William born circa 1855 ? Liverpool ?

William Married 1897 in Plymouth to Eliz Giles
Married as a seaman ( fisherman )

William Died 1927, 71 yrs, witnessed by Henry my grandfather
Died as Coal Merchant + Naval Pensioner

William is on Plymouth Census 1881 to 1911, but not 1861 or 1871

Cannot find William in Liverpool 1861 or 1871

Cannot get Birth cert from GRO

Possibly mis spelt Cummings, as with my Gr Uncle Stanley Frederick Cummings ( Beatrice's brother ) - Registered Birth as Cumming, and on Army records as Comings

William Cunningham does not appear on 1881 Census

William Cunningham does appear on 1861 and 1871 census in Liverpool
+ His father is Thomas.

I know that you are trying to help, but I have the Plymouth incl Beatrice confirmed by remaining family members. Eliz Giles is correct.

I want to trace back and William, my Gt Gt Grandfather is the stumbling block. I tried Naval records through Ancestry.com + Pensions but nothing

Any ideas

Many thanx
