Just looking at the 1881 - his mother was Rachael.

Susannah Whetman Wife Married Female 26 1855 - Bethnal Green, Middlesex, England
Rachael Whetman Mother Widow Female 59 1822 Nurse Islington, Middlesex, England
William Whetman Brother Single Male 20 1861 General Wood Turner Hackney, Middlesex, England

Charles Whetman Son Single Male 2 1879 - Bethnal Green, Middlesex, England

Lol I will give your Banners a go, but I'm without subs at the moment, so just pottering through FS and freebmd and odd bits of my tree, I thought for one wonderful moment I might have a lead on my missing Harriet Whetman but it turned out to be one of her Uncle's daughters ( probably).

Aren't there some really good deals on at the moment? Worth having a look at the boards. Someone did say to ignore the GR £1 offer as you won't get your low cost standard sub back

I've taken advantage of more than one FMP offer... shh don't tell lol.

Will have to save up to get back on Ancestry but leaving it a while in any case as my eyes are playing up so trying not to spend too much time peering at the screen :-)
