Looking for any information on the Varnish family from Leckhampton. John Varnish, son of John Sr. and Mary Ann, c. 1837, may be an uncle of my g-grandmother, Ellen. I have not been able to trace the family past the 1881 census nor before the 1851 census. If you are reseaching this name or have information I would like to hear from you.
Thanks for your interest. Regards, Brenda

Varnish family
Thanks Ann.
I have gotten that far myself. Been a real stuggle to find any trace of this family, other than what you have.
John Jr. is listed in the 1901 census but I am stuck finding what happened to the family.
Thanks again for your kind interest. Love to hear from you if you run across anything else.
Brenda

John VARNISH
Do you have John and Mary and family in the 1891 census. They are in Cheltenham on RG12/2048, folio 107, page 18. If you would like details let me know. There are marriages on FreeBMD for the 3 children that survived, namely Arthur, John and Sarah and also one for daughter Miriam who is in the 1901 census.

Thank you Mike, for the information on Mary, 1827. I had no data on the family pre 1841 and now I may be able to link the background of where the family came from.
You have quoted only female names, is there no male listings at this time?
If you have time and wish to contact me off site my address is
Thanks again for this info.

Thank you Janet for this info about the family of Varnish's. I didn't check for Miriam since I would have thought she would have carried a married name in 1901.
Please use the above address to contact me. I would like to hear if there is more I can find about this extended family.
Thanks for now, Brenda.

I know this post is very old but hopefully someone is still researching!!!.
I’m researching the Rowley family and one of my great grandads sister Harriet married a William Frederick Varnish (b1861) who I think has a connection to Gloucestershire. Harriet and William had a son William Frederick (b1892), he had 3 children Wallace, Audrey and Gordon.
I think that Wallace may have been involved with trading with Canada and appears on quite a few passenger lists to Canada in the 1950s. I noticed that the opening poster Brenda was located in Canada and I am intrigued to see if there is any connection with Wallace Varnish and Brenda's relations.
I cant trace a UK death for Wallace so I am assuming that he settled in Canada. Wallace may have had a son Lionel whose name appears on one of the passenger lists to Canada alongside Wallace.
Thanks
Anne
