(?) GILES WANKLIN, Great VI Grandfather of Richard Barton

Husband of Ann Moore

Father of Samuel Wanklin

 Also Father of Thomas, Joseph, Joseph, Elizabeth and Richard

(?) Also Husband of Ann Lloyd

(?) Also Father of Giles, William and Henry

It is possible that Giles Wanklin first married Ann Lloyd on 29^th December 1729 at Kingsland and had three children by her. These were baptised between 1732 and 1739. The youngest Henry, lived only two years. Ann died before 1742 leaving Giles a widower with two young children – Giles and William.

No burial details have been found for Ann but we do know that Giles Wanklin married Ann Moore on 8^th November 1742 at Kingsland and they had at least five children. These were born between 1747 and 1758 and of these Thomas lived one year, the elder Joseph died within the year, the younger Joseph lived nineteen years and Elizabeth lived for fifteen years. It is likely that Giles’s second wife Ann (Moore) was buried on 27^th August 1761 at Kingsland and Giles may have died on 22 June 1776.

Mother of Samuel Wanklin

Also Mother of Thomas, Joseph, Joseph, Elizabeth and Richard

Ann Moore married Giles Wanklin on 8^th November 1742 at Kingsland and they had at least five children. He was a widower with two young children from his first marriage. The six children of Samuel and Ann were born between 1747 and 1758 and of these Thomas lived only one year, the elder Joseph died within the year, the younger Joseph lived nineteen years and Elizabeth lived for fifteen years.

It is likely that Giles’s second wife, Ann (Moore), was buried on 27^th August 1761 at Kingsland and Giles may have died on 22 June 1776.

SAMUEL WANKLIN, Great V Grandfather of Richard Barton

Son of Giles Wanklin

Husband of Mary Powles

Father of Mary Rollings

Also Father of Jane, James and William

Samuel Wanklin was baptised on 25^th or 28^th May 1758 at Kingsland, Herefordshire. He was the fifth child and fourth son of Giles and Ann Wanklin who married at Kingsland in 1742. His father may have been previously married to Ann Lloyd and had three children between 1732 and 1739 but no death has been found for this supposed first wife.

Samuel Wanklin married Mary Powles at Dilwyn on 4^th May 1778. Mary Powles had probably been baptised on 12^th May 1751 at Dilwyn. They had at least four children. In 1783 there was an Order from Dilwyn for the removal of the family to Kingsland. The children included Jane aged three years and James aged one year. They were at last legally settled in Kingsland so there must have been some to-and-froing.

The Hampton Court Estate terriers of 1780 list some of the ‘New Encroachments on the manor of Kingsland: … Samuel Wanklin, a very ordinary Cottage and about 10 perches of Garden at Bucknell. Yearly value 10s.’.

WILLIAM WANKLIN, Great V Uncle of Richard Barton

 

William Wanklin was baptised at Kingsland in 1789, son of Samuel and Mary Wanklin.

From Janet Freeman: There is a William Wanklin listed on the England and Wales Death Index for Jan.-Mar. 1841in the Leominster Registration District who could be ‘ours’; it would help to explain why we can’t find any trace of him.

Janet Freeman:

Concerning William Wanklin, Great V Uncle – youngest son of Samuel and Mary Wanklin, bpt. in 1789 at Kingsland.

There is an entry on the 1851 census for a William Wanklin, unmarried, aged 66, a retired wine merchant born and living in Kingsland. Do you think this could be our ancestor  rather than the one who married Sarah Penn in 1817 and was living in London, and who was born at Aymestrey on the 1851 census? The census reference is: 1851- H.O.107/ 1981 f.398 p.16. Look like he died in Jan.-Mar. 1853, aged 68.

William Wanklin of Aymestrey: NOT OUR FAMILY

On 27^th January 1817 William Wanklin married Sarah Penn at St James’s Church, Piccadilly. He signed his name and his wife made her mark.

In 1841 the couple were living at Hampstead Lane, St Pancras. He was described as a fifty-three-year-old tailor and his wife Sarah was aged fifty-one. Eliza and John were aged ten, Ann Turner aged four and John Simmonds aged three months.

In 1851 William and Sarah Wankling (sic) were living at No 1 Hampstead Lane, St Mary’s Hornsey in St Michael’s Highgate ecclesiastical parish. William was described as a tailor, aged sixty-five and born at Aymestrey in Herefordshire. Sarah was aged sixty and born at Banbury in Oxfordshire. Daughter Eliza was aged twenty three and they had a nurse child living with them.

In 1861 John Wanklin and his family were living at 40 Vittoria Street, St Mary, Islington, and described as a thirty-one-year-old baker, born in Hornsey. His wife Margaret was a twenty-nine-year-old Laundress, born in Scotland. Their children included Margaret A. Wanklin aged nine, born in Marylebone; William I. Wanklin, aged five and born in the City of London, and Thomas aged three and born in Clerkenwell. With them was Eliza Wanklin, John’s unmarried sister, aged thirty-three, a milliner and dressmaker, born in Brambury, Oxfordshire, and their mother Sarah, aged seventy-three-years, a widow, born in Hornsey.
