Hi Nicole,
Great hearing from you! Nothing new on our family tree.... but then I still hope some more Willmore's will show up who are related. Also, am interested
in other family members of Granty's in Birmingham.... Thomas F. Willmore, Sr.
Don't know much about his family, except that there were some silver smiths.
He came over here about 1910 or so. Anyone who knows about this, please post, and excuse the personal message.... thanks.
I miss you!!!!!
Love, Leigh

Hi, I've just come across your thread from 1998! Yes I too am looking for information on William Henry Willmore - I am a decendent of his son (and brother to Ada Lilian Willmore) James William willmore.

Re: The Willmore's of Stepney. London

AnnMarr794 — 2009-05-13 04:12:45Z

I hope you people are still around!

I have:

Presumably in England, James Wilmore and wife Mary Ann Bailey as parents of

Richard Wilmore b. 25 Mar 1842 England
1st wife - Ann b. abt 1840 d. ?
2nd wife - Johanna Cronin b. Dec 1840 Ireland
children:
Mary J. Wilmore b. abt. 1868 London, England
John b. 15 Aug 1871 Michigan
Richard b. 18 Apr 1874 Michigan

According to US census records, Richard emigrated to USA in 1871 - ended up in Jackson City, Jackson County, Michigan, USA. Wife Ann was with him, but I can not find info on her.
Johanna Cronin also emigrated 1871. Information comes from a death certificate.

My searches of the BMD, Rootsweb, Ancestry, and IGI turn up very few possibilities. James Haysmond Wilmore of Stepney came up because of the birthdates. Is anyone familiar with this family?

I have a Willmore family in Jackson County, Michigan -- they descend from Padbury, Bucks. I thought this Richard would be a member of that family, but I have not found him in Bucks.

I very much doubt I can find this thread again and I do not always get an alert of responses, so please email me at marr794@aol.com

Re: The Howson Connection

grandmasasi — 2009-04-14 22:45:43Z

Thanks for getting back to me. Turns out, that through research, my g-grandmother's maiden name was not "Howson", but Hoffman. I haven't been doing any researching since finding that out & hadn't gotten much response to this, so had forgotten about it. Sorry to have to disappoint you, but I don't believe there's a connection.

Re: The Howson Connection

flickw — 2009-04-14 19:09:00Z

Hi there,
I have at last found our point of connection!Your grandfather was Gerald Howson (I hope that is right!) and he was brother to my husband's grandfather, Douglas. I would really love to get any stories etc about your Dad's history. I know of no-one who can add flesh to the bones of the info that I have. I am particularly interested in why and when the Willmores went to Kuruman. Charles Arthur(Gerald and Douglas's father was the first, I think, and was a trader when he married Esther Laura.

Greetings from South Africa
Four years hiatus between messages is a long time - but a visit from a distant relation has re-ignited my interest in the family history. I can only go back in our line to John Willmore(b1744 in Silsoe) married to Barbara Gregory. Do you(or does anyone) have any information on his lineage? I can't connect him to John Willmore (b1651 and married to Joane Fellow) who seemed to have mostly daughters .

The Howson Connection

flickw — 2004-12-29 13:23:10Z

Thanks for your reply.Thought you may be interested in the South African connection.My husband's line goes back to Benjamin(1774-1841) who married Sarah Howson. Their son Gregory married Jane Torr and produced amongst others, Charles Arthur who was trading in the Kuruman district of South Africa in 1875.He married a Miss Chapman who produced, amongst others, my husband's grandfather, Douglas Willmore. One of Douglas' twin sons is Derek Howson Willmore as is Derek's eldest son, Garth Howson Willmore. My husband, like Charles Arthur, is still trading in the Kuruman district!!

John Willmore of Spring Garden Suddenly Passes Away

John Willmore, one of the oldest residents of this county, suddenly died at his home south of Spring Garden at Noon today.

He was at the table eating when suddenly he suddenly began choking and within three or four minutes, life was extracted. He has been a sufferer from aesthenia some time, and has been very poorly the last six weeks.

John Willmore was born in Tennessee, March 17, 1832, and moved to this county some 50 years ago. He has been married three times; in 1852 to Sarah Page; in 1880, to Nancy Marks; and in 1887, to Dora Tyler; the later is still living.

He was a member of Hickory Hill Baptist Church and was one of the most respected men of the community.

Surviving him are his brother Henry Willmore of Spring Garden and another in Arkansas, a sister in Colorado, and the following sons and daughters: Henry Willmore, Jr., Mrs. Philip Karch, and Mrs. Jas Carroll of this City; Chester Willmore, McCleansboro, Mrs. Pierce Cook, Belle Rive, Mrs. E. T. Johnson, Carl Junction; Mrs. Lloyd Ramsey, Walla Walla, Wash; Mrs. William Borders, Moore's Prairie; and his step daughter, Mrs. Oscar Jenkins of this City.

There are no arrangements yet for the funeral.

Hello there. I thought you may like to know that there is another branch of the Willmore family,living in Zimbabwe.
My Father is Jerold Ivor Willmore. He had 2 brothers, Harold Howson Willmore who died of a congenital heart defect whan he was !5, and Lawrence who died when he was 49. The family lived at Kuruman. Lawrence died in Johannesburg. My Father is in Zimbabwe, and at 81 he is in remarkably good shape.
My brother is Michael Howson Willmore. He and his family left Zimbabwe about 18months ago and live in Durban

Re: The Howson Connection

Hello there,
Sorry I have taken so long to respond. Who was your Dad's father. He must almost have been a contemporary of my late father in law Derek Willmore. Derek's family were traders in Kuruman as were he and his twin brother Errol. Your Dad probably knew them well. Derek passed away last year aged 83. Derek's father was Douglas Willmore, son of Charles Arthur.
They all had so many children it's quite tricky matching them all!!

ann and Joseph Willmore of St Neots

ShirleyHiscox54 — 2007-05-04 12:42:36Z

I have just realized why my aunt had Willmore as her middle name. It was because she had ancestors from St Neots whose surname was Willmore. Any more info on Joseph who was a carpenter. born in Offord Cluny in about 1810. Married Ann who was born in Nottingham. Daughters Elizabeth, Emily, Mary and Sarah at 1851 census.

Elizabeth_How — 2006-03-26 18:29:25Z

Dear David,
I am writing in connection with a message I have found on Ancestry.com dating back to about Oct 2003 regarding the Willmore. I am messaging you in the hopes that you will be able to give me a glimmer or light. Although my main research is on the How family from East End of London I have discovered that my Great Great Grandmother Elizabeth How nee Cox was married twice. Her 1st husband was Dixon How a Custom's officer. They had 4 children Dixon, George, Edward and Elizabeth. Her second husband was Benjamin Willmore from Koulcord North ( a place I have never heard of). He was a coachman I believe. I am interested to have any information on Elizabeth and Benjamin. Do these folk ring any bells with you?
Thank you Elizabeth How

Re: The Howson Connection

grandmasasi — 2007-03-02 21:52:33Z

As you indicated that one of your ancestors married a Sarah Howson, I was wondering if those Howsons may have had another Sarah in their descendancy who may have been born abt. 1855 in England? If they did, do you have information on descendancy, etc.? Also does your information indicate that the family may have immigrated to US. If so, where?

In a death certificate for my grandfather, his mother is listed as Sarah (what appears to be HOWSON - the 3rd letter is a bit difficult to read) & father as Charles CLINE. In checking backward, I located an 1880 census with Charles & Sarah (both aged 25, which would place her birth year at about 1855)that indicated she was born in England. In an 1885 census, there were more children (2 of which are related to me, but my grandfather was born 2 years later, so he's not on it). Again, it indicates Sarah was born in England. Charles was born in NY.

Am having trouble going back beyond 1880 to locate her. Thanks!

Hi. I have just started tracing my family tree. I am pretty sure my great great grandfather was born in Worcestershire in 1812. He was a wheelwright. I think that the family moved Birmingham way at some time in the late 1800's early 1900's. Let me know if this is any help.
