Find Ancestors

Hi.

I have John, son of Joseph and Alice.

Siblings are Samuel, Robert, Benjamin, Ralph, Sarah, Ann, Joseph, James and Betty all born in Bolton.

Am struggling to find a marriage for him.

Parents had passed away by 1841 census so it's a struggle.

1851 census has a John B. with Ann. Seems that he was born in Botton accoding to An****stry although it says Botton, Lancs, not Yorks. Is it him?

Phil

Thank you

Just to make a start - Is this 'your' John?

Hi Dea. Joseph and Alice had the children I mentioned.

The Alice aged 50 is not the mother. She was born in 1778. Joseph 20, though, is a brother of John. Alice could well be a sister of the father Joseph.

Can't be Cowperthwaite option as father is Edward in this case.

Yes, this could be the same Alice.

I need to make it clear that I have no idea if John did marry or whether he died young or even joined the army.

A brother of his, Ralph appears to be the only one that became a military man, marrying in Bangalore in 1841.

If that is 'your' Joseph on 1841 then he is still at the same address with 'that' Alice on 1851 and he is down as her son:

The 1850 death above for an Alice is not the one. That one was a young child.

EDIT - No It coudn't - his father was 'Jonathan' !! :-(

Dea. Thank you for striving to find the answer. I really don't know where to go from here. I may look at military options/overseas marriages perhaps?? A burial/death for John??

Hi Phillip,

I have looked at the Military possibility and found nothing - also for a death for John but again nothing seems to show which fits.

I do think it's worth looking for a Scottish marriage if indeed that is him with Ann on 1851 and 1861. You need the 'ScotlandPeople' site which unfortunately requires credits, although I think you can do an initial free search but then pay for any details?

I think that Ann was from Leith in Scotland on one of the census.

Hi Dea. I have searched (to the best of my ability) and have come back with nothing....

Malyon posted this marriage earlier- this gives a little more detail- note that John is a rope maker- matching the 1851 census, and Ann is a widow. The marriage is a little after the 1851 census was taken, but might be worth considering.

Oooo - that looks good Austin. I seem to have missed that post by Malyon..

I will take a further look.
