William George England (c1842-?)

Maternal Grandfather of Florence Eveline Jenner (1901-1994)

William George England, born during the early Victorian era, was a builder and hotel owner. It has been said that he owned the 'New England Hotel' off York Road, Bristol.

William married Sarah Jane Bartlett (1842-1918); her father was George Bartlett. William and Sarah were Quakers by faith and had a large family of children including Arthur Edward England, Frederick England and Lillian Maud England. The family tree currently shows 13 children, which include names from census records and names as remembered by Florence Jenner (their granddaughter). The primary information currently on the family tree for this family is derived from details given by Florence Jenner; which doesn’t quite tally with the census records, mainly because I suspect Florence Jenner remembers her great aunts and uncles by their aka (also known as) names, which can often be their middle names e.g. I suspect that Henry (from the census) may be the same person as Harold (as remembered by Florence Jenner). Further research should tidy up this part of the family tree.

However, The parents of William George England where Thomas England (born 1805, Bristol) and Mary Taylor (born about 1816); Mary's father was Thomas Taylor. Thomas England was made a Burgess by virtue of his father Joel England on 29 July 1830. His father was listed as deceased at the time. His brothers were also made Burgesses. The parents of Thomas England (born 1805) were Joel England (c1765-1820) and Elizabeth Drew.
