The Line of Samuel Wombwell

Braintree in 1851. From Wikipedia.

Samuel Wombwell, the first son of James Wombwell and Sarah Rogers, married Elizabeth Boynton in Braintree in 1783, and there they apparently stayed until their deaths in 1841 and 1831 respectively. Eight children resulted, all x3 removed second cousins of Hetty Jane Owen. It should be noted that Samuel was considerably older than George, meaning that as George set up business in London, Samuel’s children were at a perfect age to be offered opportunities for an exciting new life and career in the wild animal industry, along also with their grandchildren as time went by. The children were:

i. Joseph Wombwell (1784-????)
ii. Sarah Wombwell (1786-1851)
iii. Ann Wombwell (1788-1876)
iv. William Wombwell (1790-1854)
v. Mary Wombwell (1794-1880)
vi. Elizabeth Wombwell (1796-1870)
vii. Frederick Wombwell (1802-1837)
viii. Richard Wombwell (????-1814)
