Find Ancestors

Harriet Bulivant married James Wilcock in 1856. I don't have a copy of certificate. There daughter Alice is my ancestry line on her birth certificate it is Harriet Wilcock formally bulivant. On the 1871 census Eliza is with them at there home...

so this is their marriage registration?


Marriages Mar 1856 (>99%)

Bulivant Harriat Oten Sheffield 9c 296
Bulivant Harriot Oten Sheffield 9c 296
Wilcock James Sheffield 9c 296


It shows she had a middle name "Oten" ..... I wonder if that is significant????

If this is them in 1861 .......... she now says she was born in Northumberland!

Eliza does say born in Market Rasen, Lincolnshire on the 1861 and 1881 censuses

Eliza says she is a widow in 1861, do you know which of these two deaths is Francis??

EDIT: - Just noticed that the two deaths above are the same as the one you have them at in 1851 BUT the age is way out !!! ???

They must be connected!

Well, I am convinced that the death in 1858 must be the correct one - everything else fits but the age!

He should be about 51 or 52 - perhaps the age should be 52 and has been mistranscribed as 32 ??

Perhaps you could contact the Cemetery for help?

I think you're right Dea. Which cemetery is it please?
