Find Ancestors

thanks everyone for trying... i too have tried to go down most of these avenues, but you have got more info than me. the problem is obviously the fact that the family moved about alot. when copper and tin mines closed in devon, alot of families moved north to get work at new mines, then my ancestor frederick john woodman became a newspaper editor, strange change in direction i know, but a fact, and this work took him all over the country
thanks again

I stumbled on this in 1871 census and was wondering if it could be a relative of Elizabeth:-

Name: John Maunder
Age: 35
Estimated birth year: abt 1836
Relation: Head
Spouse's name: Mary Ann
Gender: Male
Where born: Callington, Cornwall, England
Civil parish: Liverton
Ecclesiastical parish: Liverton with Easington
Town: New London
County/Island: Yorkshire
Country: England
Registration district: Guisborough
Sub-registration district: Lofthouse
ED, institution, or vessel: 4
Household schedule number: 119
Household Members:
Name Age
John Maunder 35
Mary Ann Maunder 32 born: Callington, Cornwall
Sarah Jane Maunder 12
Anne Maunder 9
Elizabeth Maunder 2 - Wigan, Lancs.
Henry Trilza 30 -boarder
William Hugo 27
William Hanley 21

Can't find on FMP either, there is a soldier Frederick Woodman born 1847 in Rupert Lane Barracks, Liverpool Place of Birth Unknown, but it is unlikely to be your man

I can't find anything,I have been through 1871 census for Liverton where William was born and Skinningrove.

I did find in Liverton at 35,Downe Street a William Lark born 1838 in Cornwall wife harriet 1842 and Samuel son 1869 Cumberland.
Could this be Elizabeth's brother in law??

If William was christened 12/2/1871 in Guisborough they must have been somewhere near.
Its probably those transcribers again getting surname down wrong.especially as none of the 3 can be found.

Edit.Yes William Henry lark 1838 died 1883 was brother to John 1836 married to Elizabeth Maunder.

William Henry married Harriett Maunder.

William and John Lark's parents were Samuel 1814-1858 and Mary Maunder Bennett 1813-1869 Liskeard Cornwall

I too have looked under everything I can think of - larks, woodmans, fredericks born Cornwall, etc.etc. and no luck at all! Maybe they went on a trip to Ireland!!

the 1911 census is correct, sarah ann was his second wife he married her in 1896, which was the same year his first wife elizabeth died.

sorry for delay, called away on an emergency...

elizabeth maunder was her maiden name, she married a john lark, and then in 1870 married frederick john woodman in stockton yorkshire. i have tried searching the census's under her name as well as frederick john woodman's but i have still have no luck.

any help would be great

Yes it seems they married in Sept Q of 1870,,so why is the eldest child of their union reg as Lark in Dec q1870??
Was she preg to her first hubby when they met I wonder?

Well I cant find a one of them in 1871.!

I know you didn't ask for this but here it is anyway in case you don't have it:-

(makes his second marriage abt.1897!)

Possible death for Elizabeth:-

(would make date of birth 1839)

Elizabeth's first marriage:-

No, FBG you are right - they married in 1870!

This looks to be Elizabeth in 1861:-

but her birth year here is given as 1839.

Was Elizabeth married before? Looks like Emma is her daughter:
