CHRISTENING: Bishop Burton Parish Register;
FHL film 1566051; item 11 Baptisms 1813-1872 has the christening: "25
March 1838 William, parents William & Mary Wasling, abode Bishop Burton,
Labourer." This researcher (Vauna Green) does not know who
William & Mary Wasling might be. There is no William son of
Francis Nelson & Jane Waslin christened in or about 1838. Our
William gives his age at the time of his marriage in 1859 as 21 which puts his
birth in 1838. The birth certificate clearly states that William's
parents are Francis Nelson & Jane Hewitt Waslin. At the time of his
marriage he also gives his father's name as Francis Nelson Waslin.

CHILD 7 Robert WASLIN
BIRTH-MARRIAGE-DEATH: records of Frank
Waslin, of Kent, England have: "Robert Waslin born 1842 Bishop Burton, son
of Francis Nelson Waslin & Jane Hewitt, married Hannah Simpson 1865 at
Beverley." THIS MARRIAGE INFORMATION IS INCORRECT:
A Robert Wastling did marry 23 Dec 1865, but
his wife is Mary Jane Foster and his father is Robert (source is marriage
certificate). According to the 1881 census, the Robert Wastling whose wife was
named Mary Jane was born in Dunswill about 1838.
A Robert Wasling did marry Hannah Simpson 24
Dec 1867 at Middleton, but his father's name was given as Thomas Wasling.
(Source is marriage certificate. Note his age given as 24-puts birth abt 1843.)
The father of our Robert is Francis Nelson Waslin so this makes it look as
though our Robert Waslin did not marry Hannah Simpson. However...
However, according to the 1881 census, the
Robert Wastlin whose wife was named Hannah was born in Bishop Burton about
1844. The only Robert Waslin/Wastling I (Vauna Green) found in my search of the
Bishop Burton Parish Register within that time period is the one chr 13 Nov
1842 (See christening entry below) and that Robert appears to be this Robert. I
don't see a Thomas Waslin/Wastling having children in the Bishop Burton Parish
Register at all, nor do I find an entry in the Civil Birth Index for either
Robert. Also...
Also, the 1851 Census reveals Francis Nelson
Waslin's family to be living in Bishop Burton - there is a son named Robert age
7 (puts birth abt 1844) born Bishop Burton. There is the family of a Thomas
Wasling living in Skidby Carr, with a child named Robt. aged 14 (puts birth abt
1837) born Skidby. And...
AND...The 1861 Census reveals what appears to
be our Robert Waslin living in Middleton, where Hannah Simpson was born. All
this circumstantial evidence makes it appear that maybe they got Robert's
father's name wrong on the marriage certificate and that this is the Robert who
married Hannah Simpson after all? Circumstantial evidence is not proof! Not
being sure how to proceed I am leaving our Robert married to Hannah Simpson
WITH THE CAVEAT THAT IT IS POSSIBLE THAT IS WAS A DIFFERENT ROBERT WHO MARRIED
HANNAH SIMPSON.
HERE IS THE MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE FOR ROBERT
WASLING & HANNAH SIMPSON: certificate in poss of Vauna Green: 1867 Marriage
solemnized at the Parish Church in the Parish of Middleton in the County of
York. December 24 | Robert Wasling / age 24 [puts birth abt 1843] / Bachelor /
Labourer / residence Middleton Wold / father Thomas Wasling, Labourer | Hannah
Simpson / age 22 / Spinster / residence Middleton Wold / father William
Simpson, Labourer | Married in the Parish Church according to the Rites and
Ceremonies of the Church of England after Banns by me, H Blanchard Rector. This
Marriage was solemnized between us, [he signed, her mark] in the Presence of
us, the Mark of William Simpson, the Mark of Harriet Simpson.
CHRISTENING: Bishop Burton Parish Register;
FHL film 1566051; item 11 Baptisms 1813-1872: "13 Nov 1842 Robert son of
William & Mary Waslin, abode Bishop Burton, Labourer." Note parents'
names given as William & Mary Waslin. The same thing happens on brother
William's & sister Ellen's christening records. This researcher (Vauna
Green) has the birth certificates for both William & Ellen and those give
the parents as Francis Nelson & Jane Hewitt. I need to order Robert's birth
certificate, but I'm confident that the 3 entries giving the parents as William
and Mary are some kind of weird mistake. See the notes for William & Ellen.
1851 Census for family of Francis Nelson Waslin includes Robert aged 7.
BIRTH: I (Vauna Green) do not find an entry
in the Civil Registration Index that looks like him.
1851_CENSUS: Bishop Burton:
Francis Nelson Waslin Head Married age 49 Ag. Lab. born Skidby Yorkshire [puts
birth abt 1802]
Jane Waslin Wife Married age 49 born Drypool Hull [puts birth abt 1802]
Jane Ann Waslin Daughter Unmarried age 14 Servant born Bishop Burton Yorkshire

this is a different Robert.

George Wastlin Son Male age 11 born Bishop Burton
Eliza Wastlin Daur Female age 6 born Bishop Burton
Alice Wastlin Daur Female age 3 born Bishop Burton
Agnes Wastlin Daur Female age 7 d born Bishop Burton
DEATH: per Frank Waslin, Died 1898 at Bishop
Burton. Killed whilst felling tree. The question is - which Robert Waslin died
1898 at Bishop Burton while felling a tree? This one or the one who married
Hannah Simpson? Or is this the Robert who married Hannah Simpson??
DEATH: Civil Reg Index possible entry: Deaths
1898 June qtr Waslin, Robert age 54 District: Beverley vol 9d page 67 [this
would put his birth 1844 so this entry is almost certainly for the Robert who
married Hannah Simpson]
CHILDREN_DISPROVED: records of Frank Waslin,
Kent Engl have Alice Waslin born June 1872; his source: GRO 9D 92.
Civil Registration Index has: Births 1872 June qtr Wastling, Alice District:
Beverley vol 9d page 92 Civil Reg Index has: Births 1872 June qtr Waslin, Alice
District: Beverley vol 9d page 109. Certificate reveals this Alice to be born
29 Feb 1872 in Beverley and the daughter of James Wastling & his wife Mary
Elizabeth MOATE. NOTE I don't see an Alice Waslin in the Death Reg Index
between 1872 and 1878, when Robert & Hannah Simpson Waslin do have a
daughter named Alice. It it clear that the Alice born 1872 does not belong in
the family of Robert Waslin & Hannah Simpson.
IGI: In the IGI there is an entry for Alice Waslin born Jun 1872 Bishop Burton,
father Robert Waslin Mother Hannah Simpson. It appears that the submitter got
their information from my (Vauna Green's) web site. I WAS NOT READY TO SUBMIT
HER because she hadn't been documented. Now it is clear that the Alice Waslin
born 1872 WAS NOT the daughter of Robert Waslin and Hannah Simpson. In other
words, THE CHILD FOR WHOM THIS ORDINANCE HAS BEEN DONE DOES NOT EXIST. YOUR
LESSON LEARNED: IF YOU'RE GOING TO STEAL A RESEARCHER'S WORK, IT'S A GOOD IDEA
TO WAIT UNTIL THE RESEARCHER HAS FINISHED HER RESEARCH AND THEN STEAL IT. MY
LESSON LEARNED: IT TURNS OUT TO BE A BAD IDEA TO POST RESEARCH IN PROGRESS. I
HAD HOPED DOING SO WOULD PROMOTE RESEARCH, BUT IT TURNS OUT THAT IT ONLY
PROMOTES BAD SUBMISSIONS. (I've learned my lesson; I hope you've learned
yours.)

happens on brothers' William's & Robert's christening records. Note birth
certificate gives parents as Francis Nelson Waslin & Jane Hewitt, and
marriage certificate gives father as Francis Waslin. The parents
