Mary Faulder married to David Johnston, Blacksmith in Allonby

I received a somewhat brief comment from a researcher who was:

Looking into David Johnston marriage to Mary Faulder. David was Blacksmith 1871 census in Allonby Cumbria

Email comment sent in by Dwight Donaldson 23 April 2022 (UK Time, possibly 22 April in US)

Within my research into “Unlinked Faulders”, I had a number of Mary Faulders who could have been adults around 1871 in the Allonby area of Cumberland.

As so often is the case this did not turn out as straightforward as one might hope.

Are We Related: George Willett (1. b ~1862 at Whitechapel)

This post, and its pair, is in response to a comment about a possible relationship between the Willetts (from Colchester – “my ancestors”, as researched elsewhere on this website) and a line of Willetts in the East End of London. The key link seems to be a George Willett born around 1862 or 1863.

This post examines how I am related to this George Willett. A second post looks at the other line.

Are We Related: George Willett (2. b ~1862 at Henham)

This post, and its pair, is in response to a comment about a possible relationship between the Willetts (from Colchester – “my ancestors” as researched elsewhere on this website) and a line of Willetts in the East End of London identified by Lee Willett. The key link seems to be a George Willett born around 1862 or 1863. Branches of the Colchester Willetts migrated to the East End.

The first post revalidated how I am related to the George Willett born in Whitechapel – a descendant of Everard Willett of Colchester. This post examines how Lee’s ancestors may be related to this George Willett.
