Wheeler family in Worcester

[Gilda]

Am searching for more details on William Wheeler, m. Catherine Good at Knighton Upon Teme, Worcester on 1 June 1820. They are my gg grandparents and emigrated to New Zealand, in 1844, arriving in New Zealand on 25 March 1845. As far as I can make out they had four chn. Thomas Edward Ochold (my great-grandfather), Catherine, John and Allen. Would be grateful for any information at all.

Hello Lottie, Thank you for replying to my query re Wheeler family. I do not know if the people you notified me of are connected in any way but unfortunately, they could not be my gg grandparents, William and Catherine. who were married in 1820 and their 1st child Thomas Edward Ochold Wheeler, was born in 1821. They would have been much older than 25 in 1841 and as far as I know did not have a son called William. I also do not know if they were still in Worcester before they immigrated to NZ in 1845. However, William was a farmer in NZ. I have kept the info. you sent me as one never knows where connections can be made.

Many thanks for your reply.

Hello Gilda, A friend just showed me your message on this site. Are you still working on this part of your tree? I can help you add several more generations as I've been researching this family of Wheelers for many years. I think you will find the name Ochold is actually Ockold. This was your 5th g grandmothers maiden name.

Hello Joan, Suemike has forwarded your message on to me as she was not able to access the site. I also have had trouble and just managed to do it - so sorry for the delay. Sue asked me to tell you that she did not have any Wheelers from Clent, but as she now tells me that Clent is only 10 miles from Worcester, and there are heaps of Wheelers in Worcester. It is possible that there may be a connection. My gggrandparents were Catherine and William Wheeler who were married in Kingston on Teme in 1820 and came to New Zealand in 1845. Part of the family had a drapery store in Worcester. Catherine was a Good and there is quite a long history of Wheelers and Goods intermarrying through the years. Catherine and William were actually first cousins. If you think your husband may be connected, please feel free to contact me by email at gildon@clear.net.nz and we can hopefully establilsh or not whether there is a connection.
