WHITE & PRINCE in Maiden Bradley

[ccallow]

Hello, posting my interests in the names WHITE & PRINCE from the village of Maiden Bradley. Specifically%2ically, Robert White born circa 1820 and Ann Prince born circa 1836. Ann's father was George Prince and mother was Eliza Garrett. Robert and Ann went on to have a large family - Louisa, Jane, Mary, Fanny, Frank, Clara, Emily, Agnes, Eliza Lilly, Bessie and Eliza A all between 1857 and 1870. Anybody with any connections? Regards Christine.

I have the Prince family of Maiden Bradley in my tree. I believe your George Prince born about 1804 in Mere - Christened 18 Nov 1804; he was the son of Thomas Prince and Ann (Nee Wright). I have nothing more on George or his descendents - but have quite a lot more on Thomas's ancestry. If this ties in with your records, please do get in touch and I will gladly let you have details.

Oddly one of my Prince ancestors also married a White - Annie b. 1848, married Albert White in Kilmington in 1875.

Hello Lisa, Apologies if we have not been in touch before. I don't go onto this forum very often. I too have George Prince as a son of Thomas & Ann, nee Wright. I believe he married Elizabeth Garrett in 1828 in Mere, Wilts and they had children Elizabeth 1829 - 1908, Charlotte 1833 - 1914, Ann 1836 - 1914, George 1839 - 1918 and Henry 1843. Ann is my husband Peter's great x 2 grandmother via her illegitimate daughter Elizabeth Jane Prince born 1857. I have info on who the Prince children married and on Thomas's parents - possibly James and Rebeccah, nee Bridle. Do you know if I can safely give you my private email address on this site? Regards, Christine.

Hello Jim, You are related to my husband Peter. Elizabeth Lilly White was the daughter of Robert and Ann, nee Prince. Before their marriage in 1861, Ann had 4 illegitimate daughters who all later adopted the surname White. One of them was Elizabeth Jane born 8th November 1857. She married Edward Sullivan in Bath on 6th March 1877 and they had two daughters - Ethel and Agnes Mary. Ethel was born 28 July 1880 and married first to James Ellis in 1899 in Kensington, W London but she later left him and set up home with Samuel Callow in Willesden, NW London. They eventually married in 1915 after having 6 children. They went on to have 8 altogether. One of them was Wilfred John Callow (1915 - 2002) my late father in law. I have quite a bit of info on the White and Prince families if you are all interested - just let me know. Regards, Christine.

I have Robert White, born 10th June 120 in Bradford Leigh, Wilts (from the IGI) and Ann Prince born 7th Feb 1836 in Yarnfield. Robert was previously married to Sarah Doman Miles (1822 - 1853). He married Ann Prince on 25th December 1861 in Maiden Bradley (I have a copy of the marriage cert). They had 7 children - Frank 1862-1929, Clara 1863=1929, Emily 1865-1885, Agnes 1866-1932, Elizabeth Lilly 1870 - 1927, Eliza Annie 1874 and Bessie Hillyer 1877-1965. Robert died 27th Feb 1900, the informant being his unmarried daughter Bessie. Ann died 21st June 1914, the informant being Bessie again but under her new married name of Ball. She had married Francis Ball in 1905 and they had 2 children - Linda 1906-1985 and Arthur 1908-1983. Not sure what became of Eliza Annie. Agnes never married. Emily died aged 20 of exhaustion during during a premature labour. Clara married Sydney Butler in Frome in 1888 and they had 10 children - could let you have details if you want. Frank married Elizabeth Ford in 1902 and they had children Evelyn 1902 and Francis 1905.

Robert White (1820 - 1900) was the son of William and Appiah, nee Hilier. Ann Prince was the daughter of George and Elizabeth, nee Garrett. How far back would you be interested in?

Regards, Christine.
