Hello all. I am new to this site, but not new to genealogy. I hope I can get some help with my brickwall.
My great great grandfather Joseph Wandless married Isabella Hunter on 23 November, 1830 in Sunderland. They had three children, Jane (b. 1830 & died 1831), Jane (b 1832), and Joseph (b 1834).
Sometime between 1834 and 1841 Joseph dissapears. Isabella shows up in the 1841 Census married to a George Glassper or Clasper.
Monkwearmouth HO107/299/9
Stafford Street
George Glassper 20 coal miner born in Durham
Isabella do 30 born in Durham
Mary do 3 born in Durham
William do 2 months born in Durham
Jos'p Wandlass 7 bron in Durham
Jane do 9 born in Durham
In the 1851 census, Jane and Joseph are listed as Clasper, along with George, Isabella, and William. They are now living on New Square in Monkwearmouth.
In 1871, Jane is gone and Joesph is once again listed as Glasper. I love the way the spelling kept changing!
Now my brickwalls are: Did the first Joseph die? I cannot find any record of it, if he did. When did Isabella marry George? Here is another record I cannnot locate! And then I cannot find who the parents of Joesph are. These questions have been bothering me for many years now and I would love to have them solved. Though I do know that we all have many mysteries that will never be solved!
If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated! :)
Let me know if I have left anything out!
Thank you.
