Whapshares from Windsor in Salisbury.
I have been looking at the Children of Richard and Elizabeth Wapshott. Martin Vincent , of course had it sorted but I think that he may have got the daughters muddled.
Henry b 1669 who married (i) Ann and (ii) Elizabeth. I have lost the ref. but seems OK.
Robert b 1673 married Sarah Sweetman is well documented in the IGI and Wiltshire records.
It is from these two families that the trees begin but I wonder about the daughters of Richard..
Martin Vincent's final version had a daughter Hannah Wapshed married to John Stevens in Sarum in 1698.
The IGI is clear that a Nanamiah Wapshed, born abt. 1677 married John on 6 Feb 1698 in Salisbury.
So what of Hannah? On 11 Apr 1666 a Surhannah Wapshat was christened at St Martins with Father Richard and Mother Elizabeth so she was the first child of the Wapshat/Wapshed's.
On 31 Jan 1696, the IGI records an Elizabeth Wapshat christened at St Martins whose mother was Hannah. So did Hannah remain unmarried but decided to have a daughter when she was 29 years old?
All of the children of Henry and Robert adopted the name of Wapshare.

Eastborne in 1891
In 1891 Emma who was widowed in 1864 was living at 16 Jevington Rd, Eastborne, Sussex. With her was her daughter Ethel Fisher 33 and her grandson Harry Fisher 6. There is no sign of Ethel's husband Thomas. Also in the house were a visitor and three servants.
In 1901 Emma still lived in Eastborne with Arthur. She was 81.
Also in Blatchington, Seaford,Eastborne in 1891 was Richard who may have been on a lengthy course perhaps. He was a Captain, I think in the 30th Lancers. Ada was there and also her sister, Florence Hicks. The two girls also were present, Audrey was 4 and Eileen was 9 months old having been born in St Helier, Jersey, CI. There was one servant who had also been born in Jersey and probably was looking after little Eileen.
In 1901 Ada was at Hemel Hempstead with Eileen and in December 1903 Richard and Ada went to Madeira on board the Walmer Castle.
Over in St Helier on the Channel Islands lived Ada's father, General CF Hicks. He was 65 and lived at 4 Elizabeth Place. He was living with his wife Ellen 33, born in Jersey and her unmarried sister, Kate O'flaherty 40, who was born in Ireland. Also there was a servant and a nurse, presumably for the General.
