Hi Everyone, I am starting a new thread to try finding William Hudson and the Farnie family. Still looking for Eliza so hopefully this may turn up some links. |

Hello Dea, We have been astonished to say the least when I found that Ellen and Samuel had two more daughters that were not on the 1871 census. It is a bit confusing as they were both named Ada but there is an explanation. The first Ada died at 5 weeks old and was buried October 19th 1871. Ellen must have become pregnant again in November 1871 and the second Ada was born August 1872. She was 2 months old when Samuel died in October 1872. Sadly this little girl also died when she was 14 months old and buried on October 26th 1873. Both buried in the same grave which was marked to have been reopened, obviously to lay the girls at rest together. You can imagine Ellen's state of mind at that time. And now we have lost tract of Ellen since October 73 when she was recorded as being at 10 Bellefield Street, till 1875 when John Arthur was born. Now we are trying to track down the Farnie family, as we are pretty sure that the visitor on the 1871 Census was Ellen Farnie. This name Farnie ties in with another member of the Hudson family, Jane Wilkinson Hudson who married a James Farnie in 1855. Jane's Father is listed as William Hudson, a Farmer and we are looking for a connection with him. Also James Farnie was born in Scotland, so maybe that is where the name Fergus came from. There are so many loose ends to tie up now, we are up to our eyes in it. I found a Farnie family on Genes on the 1871 Census using my credits but only the children were on the page, the Mother and Father were cut off so obviously on the previous page but the youngest child who was two was named Jane W, which makes me think it is the right family, as Jane Wilkinson Hudson was the one who married James Farnie, so somewhere the name Wilkinson figures somewhere. Now I am trying to find that connection. Hope you are not exhausted by now, after your busy day, I certainly am. Will let you know if anything turns up. Take care. |

Hello Dea, Thanks so much for the info on free bmd, that will make it much more easy as there is a lot to look up to make sure it is the right information. I see what you mean about the 1837 marriage, but I was thinking maybe Joseph had the son before he married Ann. But if the age was rounded as you say, we are looking at 1831 or before. Joseph was born around 1808 - 1811, so maybe should start looking 1828/30. But these would not be available on freebmd, so Joseph would have been around 20 and Ann probably 19 which ties in the son who is 10 on the 1841 census. Will see what I can dig up now. So good to have all your help.Thank you, |

Back again. Have found a Florence Hudson, daughter of Samuel, in the burial records. Her age is given as 2 and she was buried Sept. 21st .1871.in the Burngrave Cemetary, Sheffield. If this is our Florence she died one year before her father Samuel. And I have worked out that William Burgin's wife, Eliza Ann Hudson could be Samuel's sister who was born 1840, Williams wife was 41 in the 1881 census when Fergus was 12 and living with them. So Eliza Ann could have been Fergus's Aunt. I now have the 1891 Sheffield Census on CD so will do some more digging around. Probably will take a few hours so will get back tomorrow if anything turns up. Hope you are all having a lovely week-end. |

Hello Dea, Have been trying to get a tie in with Ann, Joseph's wife. Found a marriage record on ~Genes for an Ann Gillott in 1837 married in Sheffield Jul/Aug/Sept qtr. which would be about right according to Ann's age on the 1841 census you found. All there was is a number 22.307. No spouse's name. I am not very good at this. Same with the death record, I guess she died around 1849 as her last child was 2yrs old on the 1851 census when Joseph was listed as a widower. I found an Ann Hudson, Jan/Feb/Mar Qtr at Ecclesfield with a number 22.307. No other details. Not sure if I should waste my credits on these records and they don't give much away. Had no luck with the Burgins on any of the records, I must be doing something wrong!!!! Tomorrow I will start trailing Fergus, I plan to have more time then. And have been wondering what happened to the little girl Florence, Might get into Sheffield Indexers and see if I can get something. I think you could be right about Joseph and Ann Gillott Oh and I found Joseph on a later census (not absolutely sure it is the same one, he was about 63, so it must have been the 1871 census (have mislaid my notes) but he was married again to another Ann, no sign of Eliza or anyone else. I am falling asleep over this computer. Be back in the morning. Goodnight and Godbless you. |

Hello everyone, I am so stupid I didn't notice there was a page 2 on the posts, sorry about that. Dea you have opened up all these new leads,thank you so much and now I can stop looking at the deaths records and find the connection with the Burgins. It's strange that William was married to Eliza Ann but the age is wrong for our Eliza. But we do now know that William was Fergus's Uncle, that could turn up some important links. It was such a shock to find that Ellen had 2 more children and left them for others to care for but maybe she couldn't cope after Samuel died. When I come back home this afternoon I will get digging and post up any results. Very grateful for all you have done. |
