I am looking to trace the parents and siblings of William BULL born in Winkfield in 1827. If anyone is researching the name or has any information please contact me. Many thanks Terry in Devon

Looking for ggf, John Bull, B July 14, 1824 somewhere in England, Died June 14, 1864, Macoupin co, Illinois. Did your William have any siblings?

Hi, am just researching my Bull line and found your message on a brief search of the name William Bull. I am descended from William Bull, born Winkfield 1827. I know nothing else about him - he married an Emma Hubbeard from Heston and had children, one of which was George Bull in Hounslow 1860. Only have info from census and certs at the moment. George was my great grandfather on my maternal line.

Have I just found a distant relative?? Would love to hear from you if we are connected and if you have more details about William and his parents/siblings. Thanks

Hello, it would look like we are distantly related. My mother was the one that got me started on looking at our family history. My mothers mother was Ellen Bull daughter of Frederick Bull. Off the top of my head I cannot remember his father, but its definately the same family. We have not done anything on this side of the family for a couple of years so I have lost the thread a bit. I will have a look at my records and get back to you in the next couple of days. What a bit of luck finding you i am sure we can help eachother. I think I just had a contact from you via genes reunited too. I have let my subscription lapse so dont know if I can still send you a tree via that, but if not will do it another way.

Like you I to arer also researching the Bull Family line and have had some success. It looks very likely that we are both decended from Willliam Bull and Emma Hibbert.My line is through James Arthur Bull and Annie Collins

My Family Tree is under Bulll-Kirton

I know that this reply is late but I am only just getting use to this programme

Yes, been a while since I did much research, but I am descended from George Bull, brother of James, and son of William Bull and Emma Hibbert. I will look up your tree shortly. From my searches, James was in the Royal Artillery?? The only children I had on my notes to date was Ellen & Beatrice.

George Bull was actually my great grandfather, he was 53 when my grandmother was born in 1913 and I do have a photo of him in 1940 aged 80. I am also in touch with descendants of Frederick, another brother to James and George. Fred had a son Sydney and then a son Reg, who it turns out lives only 5 miles away from me so we met up a year or so ago. The family resemblance was amazing!

I am aware that William Bull (1826) parents were John Bull and Maria Fritter (Flitter). After John died in 1835 Maria married again to a gentleman with surname Dicker. They had more children and at one stage in late census records one of the Bull's lives next door but 3 to his half "Dicker" brother.

Not sure what you are know about the eldest brother, William born 1853? He committed suicide in the Brewery where he worked - possibly depression or something to do with his wife having an affair but not sure what to make of the newspaper report of the inquest.

Happy to share any info I have on the Bulls.

Thanks for your reply

I am descendesd from William Bull and Emma Hibbert)Great Grandparents), through James Arthur Bull and Annie Collins Grand Parents) James Arthur Bull Beatrice Bull nee Kirton ( Parents)

I have been able to trace William from Birth in 1826 to Death in 1903.The marrige certifcate show a Johmn Bull as father( and John Hibbert)

I had found that he and one (now two William born 1853) sons
had worked in the Brewery I can not remeber the owners name at this moment, the Brewrey was in St Johns Road Islewoth and was still ther till llate 1980's or early 1990's. The owners did provide monies for the building of the St Johns church and also the Alms Houses that are still standing today.There is aplaque outside the church that outlines this ansd a few more facts

Another of his sons John worked in Soap Factory this was on teh London Road Isleworth it was PEARS SOAP and was there till the 1960. This became offices and had a big Sports Field I think for Beecchams and just recently this became Flats

James Arthur , I had found that he had serveresd in the Army. His Service Record had caused me some concern where it showed he served till October 1902. He was shown as living in The Lodge Gunnersbury House ( Chiswick) in June of 1897 when he married Annie Collins, this was because he was first released form the Army in to Special Reserve early 1897 and was recalled October 1899 and was in South Africa which was the Boar War.

I am working on a number of sides to both the Bull and Kirton family

What would be useful is any help relating to Bull's Whiitton
(Seaton Rd Hounslow Rd or Saxon Ave Hanworth)these os=are address's of James Arthur Annine Collins descendants.

I still llve in the area and have a son and daughter-in-law who livwe about 1/2 a mile from Seaton Rd

I know that there are otrher looking so who knows what may happen.

If you wish I could foward my Email Adress

Thanks Alan
