I am from USA, seeking info on 3x GGF Thomas CULLIS. Specifically: What happened to his first wife Ann, which children are from Ann and which children are from Sarah, and if anyone knows the parents of his father Hugh. Also would love to hear from any other CULLIS descendents - any info at all is welcome.
What I do know:
- He shows in 1841 census as being 5 years old living with 60 year old Hugh CULLIS and 25 year old Emmeale CULLIS in Dawley Magna, Shropshire. I don't know if this is mother and grandfather, or mother and father.
- I cannot locate him in the 1851 census.
- In the 1861 census he lives in Malinslee, Shropshire, married to Ann (she shows as being from Ireland). He is listed as 23 and she is 21. They have 3 children, John H (4), Urias (3), and Eliza (1).
- I cannot locate him in the 1871 census.
- In the 1881 census, he appears to have moved to Wolverhampton, Staffordshire. His wife's name is Sarah (she shows as being from Coventry). He is 44 and she is listed as being 30. They have 7 children, including my 2x GGF Thomas. He shows as being 13 years old. I am trying to determine if Sarah or Ann is the mother of my 2nd GGF Thomas.
Twiglet, thank you so much for the info! I believe that makes us 4th cousins once removed? I can give you more info on Thomas Jrs line in America if you'd like to exchange info? My email is jpcarlson05@gmail.com. I also live about 20 minutes from where Urias is buried. Thanks again!
HI
I need to amend the death date and year of Thomas Cullis born in 1836. He died in 1912 and was buried on 19.12.1912 not in 1919 as I originally posted. Also Amelia Cullis mother of Thomas was buried on 11.6.1884 not 1886 apologies for the error.
I have some info about the family on the census. I cannot locate them on the 1851 or 1871 census.
In the 1891 census Thomas and Sarah were living at 26 Bilston Street Wolverhampton with 8 of their children. Thomas occupation is listed as a Travelling Showman.
In the 1901 census Thomas and Sarah were living at Sutherland Place Wolverhampton with 5 of their children. Thomas occupation is listed as an Iron Worker.
In the 1911 census Thomas was staying with his son Albert and his family at 52 Oxford Street Wolverhampton. Thomas occupation is listed as an Iron Founder.
In the 1911 census Sarah is living at 6 Union Street Wolverhampton with 3 of the children. (It states she is a widow but this is a mistake as Thomas was still alive). Sarah's occupation is listed as a Charwoman.
I hope the info is helpful.
