John Wells was the father of [[Alfred Walter Wells]] in 1851.


I don't know whether this will add much to what you already know.
In 1841 census he was 15, with brother? James Wells 10, at John Gregory's baker shop in Upper Bedford St. Brighton. Ann Colman 14, was at Mepham Green, Herstmonceux, Hailsham District, Sussex, with father? Thomas 58, mother? Lucy 40, and Caleb 12, Ely (?Eliz) 10, Thomas 7, David 3, Edwin 7mths, all b Sussex.


The John Wells/Ann Colman marriage was in 4th qtr 1846 Brighton 7 471.

In 1851 census he was Baker aged 26 b Isfield living at 4 Tidy St. Brighton, with Ann, 23, dressmaker, children John W. 3, and Alfred W. 7 months, and sister Nelly 17 b Isfield.

I have not been able to locate with certainty any other members of the Wells family in either census. When I tried Nelly in 1841 I came up with Eleanor, same age, but definitely not her.

Children

  • Alfred Walter Wells, christened 13 Jul 1851, St Peter, Brighton.


Now that I know his father was Jacob Wells I have found further info on John Wells' siblings.

In 1841 Jacob Wells was 35 working and living at Paper Mill in Isfield with wife Sophia 35. Neither were born in Sussex. Children living with them were all daughters, Betsey 12, Ann 10, Sally (not Nelly as given previously) 7, Eliza 4, and Charlotte 2, all born in Sussex. I have not found Jacob in 1851, but Sophia Wells (says married, not widow) 47 was Paper Maker at De Langley Row, Chartham, Kent. It says born in Lewes, Kent! She is with daughter Charlotte 11, b Isfield, son William 6, b Maidstone, and son Walter 1, b Chartham. Betsey Wells 22, lived alone at 4 Union Street, Maidstone where she was employed in a paper mill. Anna M Wells 19, b Isfield was house servant at Priory Crescent off High St, Lewes. Eliza Wells, 15, b Eastfield (sic) was house servant lodging at Regent Hill, Brighton. 

In 1861 census Jacob Wells 59, b Isfield, Sussex, is with wife Sophia 57, b Loose, Kent, and son Walter 10, b Chartham at Perryfield St. Maidstone.
