That's great thanks. Looks like John Bainbridge must have gone to live with his Mothers family then when he was 16. Managed to find that in the census details! Can't find anything else - don't know how you all can! I wondered if it was because his parents had possibly died but it certainly shows that Isaac his father was still alive. I think someone mentioned it could be to do with the war. I do know that he served in the First WW but have yet to fing out where & what as etc. I have the details of his service in the WWII as that is how he died. From what I have in Kelly's etc he was a farmer as well as his father.
What I still want to know is why the land was purchased in his wife's name - Ethel Bainbridge (Isaacs). I thought she was possibly the one with the money but looks like he was instead or as well as. Are there any details at all on his wife anywhere, I can''t seem to find any? Thanks to you I now have her re-marriage which is some more info.
Just to give some background - why I am wanting to know about them is because they bought a plat of land & built a house on it. This house is now owned by my parents. What is puzzling is that as I have said she bought the land & also the land was part of a large estate - the Riby Grove Estate. It's unusual for estates to sell off pieces of land in the middle of the estate. I am trying to find out how come they managed to buy it. The property was requisitioned in WWII as well & I want to know more about that. Believed to be by the Laceby Home Guards but not sure. If anyone has any ideas on how I can find out any of this info I would be most grateful.

Thank you

I am trying to find some children for John but nothing coming up may have to search indexes !uh! ,will give it a try.
Where did John and Ethel Live all there married life,that will help narrow down Poss.
On the purchase of land in Ethels name,my mother in law did the same because her hubby was away with the forces and money sent to her ie; wages from army she saved and bought the land for there home while he was away.
I live in OZ so I think it would be the same over there.

Michelle

Michelle Report 10 Nov 2008 12:13

Ah right, lovely, that answers why she possibly bought it then. I have done a bit of research on his army career & he was in both world wars so that could be why.
They lived in Lincolnshire, South Elkington is where he was born, then farmed there for a long time, have found a reference to him living at Riby and then they built this house at Laceby.
Thanks ever so much for your help.

So first line;

Bainbridge John F Isaac (not sure what the Isaac means here - it's Ethel's maiden name) Marylebone (where he got married- thought they were married in Louth?)

Who are the other people mentioned then?

Lillian L Payne (nee Langwell)??
Lillian L Nixon (nee Langwell)??

Same person??

Ernest HSA Langwell (not sure what Payne & Dixon are - not maiden names for a man)

Sorry for all the questions but don't understand it!

The other names are nothing to do with Bainbridge and Isaac- they just appear on the same page. It tells you that Bainbridge married a woman named Isaac and that Ethel K Isaac married a man named Bainbridge, so that's all you need to know - ignore the rest!

Michelle

Michelle Report 10 Nov 2008 21:17

No problem! Now I understand. No wonder I couldn't understand what they had to do with it.

Why is Marylebone mentioned then? They were not married there according to info already received on here.

Thanks v much!

If it says Marylebone for the marriage, then that's where they married.

Hi Michelle That was Isaac Stanley Bainbridge and Marion King that married in Looth 1881 (Johns Father and Mother).

I find it usefull to print off all my info so you have it side buy side,then entre it all into the tree,less confusing.Sue
PS still can't find any children for John Frederick Bainbridge and Ethel K Isaac.

Michelle

Michelle Report 12 Nov 2008 12:21

Susan - thanks for that. Yes I do need to get all my info sorted out so I know what I have & have not got!
I can't seem to see anywhere the details for Ethel K Isaacs as to where she was born etc. I can't understand why they were married in Marylebone unless she came from that area & not from Lincolnshire. I know we have the details of her remarriage & that was London area also. I knmow it's cheeky as you have already helped loads but can you find the details on her? I still can't find anything - I have got to be doing it wong as it is obviously there.
Thanks v much

Hi Michelle I have searched birth indexes for children of John Frederick and Ethal all four qua years 1930-31-32-33,they married Dec 1929.
I cannot find any children so far.
You mentioned his service record for WW2 I thought that would have his wifes name and that of his children,along with his date if birth ,that would come in handy,do you have his date of death that would give his birth date also.Sue

Michelle Report 15 Nov 2008 16:13

I do not have much info on Ethel. She is Ethel Kathleen Bainbridge (nee Issacs).
Their marriage was Dec 1929.
He ws born 1885 so I looked around that time for her as well but came up with 2-3 that could have been possibilities.
I don't really have much more info on her.
Sorry!
Thanks ever so much.
I presumed she would come from Lincolnshire area as well but looks like she cold have come from elsewhere as both marriages were London area.

I now know for definite that there were no children for John & Ethel. I had a very interesting convs last night with a local that I tracked down who knows quite a bit about the history of the village.
I am also told that Ethel Isaacs was local & her family were farmers in the area. They were not from London. A relation (her nephew) Harry Isaacs is believed to be in his 80's & still alive. I did not find any Isaacs in the area when I looked. Are there any??
Also am I right in thinkng that no censues information is yet available any later than 1901?
She apparently 'disappeared' when he went to war & the village never saw her again. Would be nce to find out where she went.
Any help??? Again - sorry!!
Thanks
