Henry Wheate of Walsall.
Early Wheate Family Tree Diagram.Henry's forefathers:
We have not yet discovered when Henry Wheate was born, although it was certainly before 1550.
Henry's pedigree is recorded in the Visitation of the County of Warwick in the Year 1619, as published by the Harleian Society 1877.
From this source, Henry's father was William Wheate, son of Richard Wheate. Richard was son of William Wheate who lived in the Midlands during the early 15th century.
[All of this is based on the testament of people who were interviewed by William Camden, Clarenceaux King of Arms, in 1616. We have seen no other documentation to support it.]

Marriage:
Henry was married to Agnes. We do not have a family name for Agnes, who outlived Henry. She wrote her will in 1608 and this passed through probate in 1611, suggesting she died around that date. She left specific sums of money to her son William, and to her her daughters Anna (married to Thomas Deighton) and Isabella (married to William Childlowe). She named her youngest son, Edmund, as her executor and left him any remaining money and furniture.

John Wheate born 27th November 1825, baptised 25th December 1825 at Providence Chapel.
The birth dates would preclude Edwin and John from being siblings. Could this be an error of copying when these entries, from different chapels were copied into the book?
Does John belong to John Thomas and Sarah and the dates and place are wrong, or does John belong to different parents altogether?}

John Thomas's Death:
December 1834.
There is an extract from a letter to America in a 1903 book, (Wheate Genealogy: A History of the Wheat family in America. pub. Silas C. Wheat.) ,
in which John Thomas's grandson, Thomas, (son of Thomas Joseph) writes:
Hanwell does not even seem to exist in Hertfordshire. There is however a Hanwell in Middlesex and this seemed more likely, so, following this lead, we learned that there was an asylum at Hanwell and it would appear that John Thomas was a patient there.
From the London Evening Standard 29th December 1834:
"... John Thomas Wheate, a master wood and metal turner of the city of London, who died at Hanwell in Hertfordshire, 1834."
Hanwell does not even seem to exist in Hertfordshire. There is however a Hanwell in Middlesex and this seemed more likely, so, following this lead, we learned that there was an asylum at Hanwell and it would appear that John Thomas was a patient there.
From the London Evening Standard 29th December 1834:
Inquest on a Lunatic at Hanwell in Middlesex. -
Saturday morning. An inquest was held at the Pauper Lunatic Asylum, Hanwell, in Middlesex, before Mr. Stirling, Coroner, on view of the body of Thomas Wheate, aged 36, an unfortunate maniac confined in the said institution,
and whose death was supposed to have been caused by one of the other patients placing a straw paliasse on him whilst in a fit.
John Elliott, one of the keepers of the asylum, deposed that the deceased was a patient confined there and was an inmate of No. 7 Ward. On Thursday night last, at the usual hour of 8 o'clock,
witness locked the deceased and others in their bed cells; on the following morning, on opening the door of the cell, he found the deceased lying on his iron bedstead, apparently quite dead, and another unfortunate being, who was unconscious of his miserable companion being dead,
holding the paliasse over him. Witness removed the paliasse, and then ran for Mr. Quick, the surgeon. It appeared that his death was occasioned by a fit of epilepsy, having been subject to fits.
- Verdict, died by the visitation of God.
The family, after the loss of John Thomas:
It would seem that Sarah found it difficult to support the family after the death of her husband and, at various stages, she resorted to the workhouse.

[At the time of the 1851 census, (30th March), Mary Parry had been living, as a servant, in the house of the Taylor family of 7, Harmony Place, Great Richmond Street, Liverpool. The family were also from Mary's birthplace, Llanymynech.

From their child, Edwin's birth certificate:-
Edwin was born on 4th July 1853. (His birth was registered the following day and his mother, Mary, formerly Parry, described as 'deceased', meaning that she died during or soon after childbirth.)
His father was described as Edwin Wheate, watchmaker, of Salisbury Terrace, Everton.

[Salisbury Terrace was one of the small roads off Salisbury Street.]
Following Mary's death, it would seem that Mary's sister Harriet Parry moved in to look after Edwin and Mary's child, Edwin.
In consequence, Edwin and Harriet had two children together: Thomas, born in December 1855 but survived only 12 hours, and Harriet Louisa, born on 9th October 1856.
With another child on the way, Edwin and Harriet decided to marry in 1858.

NB. It only became legal to marry a deceased wife's sister following the Act of Parliament in 1907, so this might explain why Edwin described himself as a batchelor for his second marriage and had the ceremony at a different church.
Edwin Wheate married Harriet Louisa Parry on 8th February 1858 at St Nicholas Church, Liverpool, after banns.
Both were of full age. Edwin a bachelor, Harriet a spinster.

"At the waterworks, Old Swan, Harriet L. Swinnerton, our dearly beloved mother.
Sleep on beloved, take thy rest,
Lay down your head upon thy savours breast;
We loved thee well, but Jesus loves thee best;
Good night, good night, good night.
Bert and Connie, Parton Street, Fairfield.Lay down your head upon thy savours breast;
We loved thee well, but Jesus loves thee best;
Good night, good night, good night.
['Connie' was Beatrice Constance Faulkner, Harriet's daughter. 'Bert' was her second husband, Herbert Christopher Faulkner. ]
