Hi

Do you belong to Genes Reunited as a lot of the Tellings are on that site.
My grandmother Ruth was a Telling before marrying Richard Cecil. Her father was Elijah Telling who went to Newport in Wales to work as a carpenter.
The Telling family all seem to come from Ashton Keynes.
Whilst in England recently I met up with Julie Telling.
Since joining Genes Reunited I've been contacted by quite a few Tellings.

Telling family

I am looking for the family of William Telling ( born 1720 in Fairford, Gloucestershire, England). His daughter, Patience Telling , was born in 1751 and married William Weeks. She was my grandmother x4 times, had a daughter, Sarah Weeks, who married John Pollard. Their daughter, Jane, was born in 1811 in South Cerney, Gloucestershire and married Thomas Messenger. My Gradfather was a direct descendant of this line.
I cannot seem to find any further information about William Telling and his parents, although I can go back into the 16the Century with the other families. Has anyone out there any info?
Thanks
Christine

My Grandmother is Gladys Telling from Fairplay, Denshaw, Yorkshire, England (born 1929), however, her Grandfather Arthur Telling (born Jun 1860) comes from Ashton Keynes, Wiltshire, England.

Any chance we are looking for the same line?

After battling my way through census mis-transcriptions, remarriages and much movement round the country I've hit another dead end. Can anyone link with my Tellings?

John Dore Telling b. c1834 Purton, Wilts
m. Susan Clarke b. c1837 Cirencester, Glos.

children:
(I) Robert John Telling b1858 Marylebone, Middx.
Sarah Amelia Telling b c1860 Daglingworth(?), Glos.
Thomas Telling b. c1865 Edgworth, Glos.
William Telling b. c1867 Wilts.
Emily Telling b. c1869 Swindon, Wilts.
Arthur Telling b. c1872 Swindon, Wilts.
Frank Telling b. c1875 Maisey Hampton, Glos.

(I) Robert John Telling d.1885
m. Mary Ann Hodgkiss b 1859 Oldbury, Worcs.

children.
Mary Ann Telling b. c1880 Oldbury, Worcs.
Susan Telling b. c1881 Oldbury, Worcs.
Emilia Telling b. c1884 Oldbury, Worcs.
(II) Robert William Telling b. 1885 Oldbury, Worcs.

Mary Ann Hodgkiss remarries one Samuel Green, moves to Swansea, and all children are henceforth listed as Green not Telling on subsequent census along with step brothers and sisters.

(II) Robert William Telling
m. Mary Horton b. 1885 Oldbury, Worcs.

Children:
Doris Telling
Lillian Maud Telling
Gwendoline May Telling b.1912

I am descended from Gwendoline and all of the male line here were blacksmiths. I'm particularly interested if anyone can link John Dore Telling in with the rest of the Purton Tellings. He must link somewhere, but I cannot confirm who his father and mother are.

Has anyone else been frustrated by census transcribers index 'Telling' as 'Selling', 'Felling' and even 'Lelling'?! Despite Telling being such an uncommon name, this has been by far the hardest branch of my tree to trace.

Do you have any more information on this Thomas Telling or his wife? I am looking for info on my husband's 4X great grandfather by this name. I don't know the dates, but this sounds about right. His wife was Elizabeth Greenaway (Greenway?) and they were somewhere in Wiltshire. My husband is decended from their only surviving son, Henry who came to the USA sometime between 1843-1848.

Jane M. Telling, b. 1859

2004-01-27 22:09:29Z

I am looking for info on Jane M. Telling, b. 1859. Place unknown. In 1876 in Cuyahoga county, Ohio, she married George McVeigh, b. 1858. Children of George and Jane:
Howard, b. 1878
Walter, b. 1880
Alvah, b. 1890
Everett, b. 1897

I would like to find out who the parents and siblings of Jane were.
Thanks, Joyce
