Re: Help me find Percy Truelove, Sheffield, 1871

John S


1. who were the witnesses on the marriage cert

2. How old does it say on the death certificate

3. who did he marry and how old was she
Witnesses on MC were George Evans (brides father) and Mary Jane Henry, who I think is the wife of the registrar who married them.

On the DC he was 57

He married Mary Hannah Evans, aged 20,

Thank you for your help

Re: Help me find Percy Truelove, Sheffield, 1871

Morning,

A real puzzle.

After looking at the 1901 & 1911 census I wonder if the the Tredegar Iron Coal Company might have anymore info on him?

Do you have the 2nd marriage for him in 1923? Is his fathers name still John???
What was Mary Hannah's fathers name???

Elaine.

Re: Help me find Percy Truelove, Sheffield, 1871

Over to the left in the baptism records, there’s a George Frederick Truelove born and baptised in 1874. Father John Truelove, an engine tenter. Mother Mary. Could George have been Percy’s brother?

Re: Help me find Percy Truelove, Sheffield, 1871

Looks interesting Heather.

Re: Help me find Percy Truelove, Sheffield, 1871

On free BMD and the GRO index there is not one born Truelove but there is one indexed as TRELOAR.

Re: Help me find Percy Truelove, Sheffield, 1871

Ooh, thank you! That’s the closest we’ve ever got to finding him!

I’ll be researching that this evening

Thank you

Elaine.
The marriage in 1923 was his son. Three of them all being called Percy Truelove is very confusing!

Mary Hannah’s father was George Evans

Thank you for looking

Heths
I’m so excited by this, thank you.

We don’t know if he had siblings or not.

I mustn’t get too excited, but all the John Trueloves that I’ve researched so far have been spring makers, or cordwainers, or nail makers. To find one that has a connection to engines is exciting, though.

Thank you. Some work for me tonight, I think

Re: Help me find Percy Truelove, Sheffield, 1871

I believe this is the 'George Frederick TRUELOVE' mentioned above.
This is a funeral service in the church followed by a burial in the adjacent municipal cemetery BUT I do not know why the dates are different

'Burial' at Christ Church Attercliffe
TRELOAR, George Frederick (~, age 6).
Died at Attercliffe; Buried on January 2, 1881 in ~ ground;
Grave Number ~, Section ~ of Christ Church Cemetery, Attercliffe.

Burial in Attercliffe Municipal Cemetery
TRELOAR, George F (Son of J Treloar, age 6).
Died at Church St; Buried on December 31, 1880 in Consecrated ground;
Grave Number 2200, Section D of Attercliffe Cemetery, Sheffield.
Plot Owner: of . Page No J Hissett

The position of the name 'J Hissett' in the second record is odd. perhaps it should have been entered under 'Plot Owner'.

John TRELOAR (engine tenter), his wife Mary, and others under that name, are also buried in the municipal cemetery

"BUT I do not know why the dates are different"

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/143982986/john-treloar

Thank you for searching. I do appreciate your help.

I looked at Treloar but couldn’t make the connection. However, you seem to have found more than I have, so I’ll look again.

Searching John and Mary Truelove I found baby George Frederick baptism, but then a burial aged 10 weeks. There was another child, Emily, 1876

I’ve tried looking back at John and Mary, to see if I could find an illegitimate Percy connected with the family. I’m still working on that one.

I’ll widen my searches to include Treloar as well as Truelove. I’ll also look at Hissett. Grasping at straws.

Thank you for your help.

A lot to work on here. I do appreciate your help.

Re: Help me find Percy Truelove, Sheffield, 1871

Another thought.. not had chance to check it out as at work but could percy be infact his middle name ie could his name have been john percy truelove and he was known as percy to avoid confusion and he therefore assumed percy was his first name

That is, of course, a possibility.

We have tried all sorts of combinations of the name Percy, and Percival, without success. Names tend to run in families, so we tried all his children as well.

No luck so far.

Thank you.

Re: Help me find Percy Truelove, Sheffield, 1871

The only birth that fits is: TRELOAR, BENJAMIN BARLOW
GRO Reference: 1871 S Quarter in HARTLEPOOL Volume 10A Page 173 Its a posibility he changed his name for some reason.

I think there must have been a name change for some reason. We have scoured the census records but found no trace. How do you research a change of name in the late 1800’s?

Unfortunately, I think records for Foundling hospitals in Sheffield are sparse. I contacted Sheffield Archives a while back and they said they had no records.

I’ve tried prison records. I’ve looked at all the workhouse records that I can find.I’ve tried employment records. Everywhere is a blank.

I wonder if he had something to hide? Or ran away from something. There are a lot of Trueloves in Sheffield history, and even just trying to draw up a tree for all of them has been difficult.

I really do appreciate you all taking the time and trouble to look for him. Thank you.

Re: Help me find Percy Truelove, Sheffield, 1871

Or it could be that his birth was never registered do not forget it was not compulsary to register a birth until 1875.

when his parents died where were they living as that could help us.

Could also Sheffield as place of birth be not correct

I had thought about that possibility. The whole family, from my research, seem to be a bit ‘erratic’.

Ive also wondered about his DOB. All of our searches are relying on him being accurate, or truthful, on his MC. He gave his age on his MC as 24, but maybe he was under 21. Of course, he would have to keep that up throughout his whole life, which has been consistent.

His father may not have been John, or he may not have been an engine driver.

Sheffield may not be accurate, although there are a lot of Trueloves in Sheffield, a lot of John Trueloves too! Just no Percy Trueloves.

We may never know.

Thanks for your help.

Re: Help me find Percy Truelove, Sheffield, 1871

Ok this need really checking out it could well be completely wrong though so please be cautious.

Firstly lets forget about the occupation for now and also John being wrong.

In 1876 a Joseph Truelove aged 48 a widower married a Mary Davis aged 28 a widow.

Not yet found Mary's first marriage but forget to check on original her birth name (senior moment)

Could it be that Percy was born to Mary's first father but not found a Percy Davis also Davis is a common Welsh surname.

Could even it be that Percy was born prior to Mary getting married first time round and born Percy -------

As I said could be going down completely the wrong track and if so please accept my apologies.

John

Re: Help me find Percy Truelove, Sheffield, 1871

This is interesting.

My latest tree (there have been many!) has a Mary Truelove, daughter of Elizabeth Truelove, as Percy’s possible mother. Elizabeth was unmarried when Mary was born, and Mary unmarried when ‘Percy’ was born. So the surname Truelove remained unchanged by husbands.

Elizabeth then married a Timothy Ledger. Mary appears at some point as Ledger, but then married an Amos Lindley, possibly after Percy’s birth. I’ve not have a Davis yet, but it crops up occasionally. Other frequently occurring names are Hill, Hurst/Hirst and Wilson.

Yes, I’ve tried Percy with all of those surnames.

HOWEVER, there was an oral family story of a name change. I’ve discounted it so far, as the change was supposedly *from* Truelove to something else, more Welsh, as they moved from Sheffield to Wales.

Unfortunately, the teller of this story was one generation back, and no longer with us. The present generation have no knowledge of it. I always thought it was Williams or Morgan, but no reason it couldn’t have been Davis/Davies.

No apology needed, I’ll happily accept any ideas!

Anne

Re: Help me find Percy Truelove, Sheffield, 1871

In the 1881 census John and Mary Treloar were living in Attercliffe. He was still an engine tenter but the only children with them were Frances E (15) Annie E (13) and William H (11)
No Percy! I checked the original image for the baptism of George, and the transcription on this site is correct - the original image definitely says Truelove - but I'm starting to wonder if the minister misheard the surname.
