Hi
Thankyou all once agian
As I read through about Emma Rawson there is a death for her 1881 aged 49 Nottingham
So maybe she could have married George Beardsley ??

NOTE FATHER GEORGE WOODWARD

This looks like the George and Emma (nee Rawson?) in the 1881 census and if it is then this doesn't look like George Woodward son of Sarah Breadsley (nee Woodward)

Hi
So William Beardsley married Sarah Woodward
@ 1865 Nottingham
But Sarah had sons one called George Woodward who married Emma Rawson @ 1878 Nottingham
That's how William Rawson is called Grandson in Census 1891
Hope I have the info right !,
Thankyou all so much

How about this:


1861 census for William Beardsley:


1861 Census
4 Records found


Piece: RG9/2441 Place: Bulwell -Nottinghamshire Enumeration District: 1
Civil Parish: Bulwell Ecclesiastical Parish: Bulwell
Folio: 24 Page: 41 Schedule: 207
Address: Scrap Row

Surname First name(s) Rel Status Sex Age Occupation Where Born Remarks

WOODWARD Sarah Boardr S F 32 Glove Stitcher Nottinghamshire - Bulwell
WOODWARD George Boardr - M 4 Nottinghamshire - Bulwell
WOODWARD William Boardr - M 10m Nottinghamshire - Bulwell




Marriage for this couple in 1865:


Marriages Jun 1865 (>99%)
Beardsley William Basford 7b 127 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Burton Sarah Basford 7b 127
Woodward Henry Basford 7b 127
Woodward Sarah Basford 7b 127 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<



Then in 1871 census:



Sarah Beardsley
England and Wales Census, 1871

Event Place Bulwell, Bulwell, Nottinghamshire, England
Enumeration District 1

William Beardsley Head M 44 Bulwell, Nottinghamshire
Sarah Beardsley Wife F 42 Bulwell, Nottinghamshire
Thomas Woodman Son M 19 Bulwell, Nottinghamshire
Jeremiah Woodman Son M 14 Bulwell, Nottinghamshire
William Woodman Son M 10 Bulwell, Nottinghamshire
Herbert Woodman Son M 8 Bulwell, Nottinghamshire


If you look for a birth reg for Jeremiah Woodman there does not appear to be one but there is one in 1857 for a Jeremiah Woodward so maybe the Woodman children have been mistranscribed and should be Woodward

Then in 1878 this marriage:

Marriages Mar 1878
Mason James Basford 7b 199
Rawson Emma Basford 7b 199 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
SHARP Harriet Basford 7b 199
WOODWARD George Basford 7b 199 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Then possibly this couple in 1881 census:

Age: 35
Estimated birth year: abt 1846
[1855]
Relationship to Head: Head
Spouse: Emma Woodward
Gender: Male
Where born: Bulwell, Nottinghamshire, England

Ancestry has a submitted date of birth year for George of 1855

so: Possibly Emma Rawson had William Rawson before her marriage to George Woodawrd . This would make William Rawson the Step Grandson of Sarah and William Beardsley

Hi Kath
Thankyou for your reply
Maybe William Rawson was baptised at Bulwell Parish Church
If so it would state his Mothers name??
