Find Ancestors

Hi everyone

I have been unable to find a birth or death for Stephen Anderson.
Stephen married Mary Bristor in 1818 in Peterborough. I have their descendants and Mary's ancestors.
Mary remarried in 1829 to John Woor also in Peterborough.

Can anyone find Stephen ?

That's the correct Stephen.

HI Malyon

It does look likely that that is the correct baptism.
I have looked 1824-29 for a death but haven't found anything.
Thanks for looking.

Thanks Malyon

Maybe it was a late baptism.

they dont seem to give the births reg only stated 1837 century only baptism's

Maybe Stephen didn't die and Mary just said she was a widow. She wouldn't be the first bigamist in this family but then surely her daughters would know.

i'm not finding that marriage of mary to john woor 1929

It was 14th December 1829 at St John the Baptist in Peterborough

That's the correct family.
I have tracked the descendants but still can't find Stephen's death.
I've even checked Ellis Island site just in case he left the family.

At the time of Sarah Ann's baptism in 1824, Stephen was a cordwainer.

I don't know if this is the same Stephen below - but will post it in case.
Maybe Stephen and Mary separated around the time of Sarah Ann's birth:

In 1826, a shoemaker named Stephen Anderson lived in Wellington Street in Northampton, with a Thomas Anderson, also a shoemaker.

Stephen Anderson
in the UK, Poll Books and Electoral Registers, 1538-1893
Name: Stephen Anderson
Poll Year: 1826
Parish or Rectory: Northampton

Stephen was still there in Wellington Street in 1837.


Stephen Anderson married Sarah Fox in 1824:

And in 1851 -
John and Emma's mms was Simpson.

Stephen's a clicker.

Boot and shoe clicker - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boot_and_shoe_clicker
A boot and shoe clicker is the person who cuts the uppers for boots or shoes from a skin of leather or piece of man-made material (usually from a bulk roll). This includes all components of the upper, including linings, facings, stiffeners, reinforcements for eyelets and zip-protectors.

This is the nearest birth I can find for Stephen - but only if "birth date" means "christening date", and he was about 14 when christened:

Stephen Anderson
England Births and Christenings
Name Stephen Anderson
Residence Place Stony Stratford, Buckingham, England
Gender Male
Birthplace Stony Stratford, Buckingham, England
Birth Date 30 Dec 1812
Father's Name Thomas Anderson
Mother's Name Elizabeth


Possible death of wife Sarah:

ANDERSON, SARAH 42
GRO Reference: 1840 J Quarter in NORTHAMPTON UNION Volume 15 Page 219 Order


Stephen and Elizabeth are in all censuses up to their deaths:

Deaths Dec 1878 (>99%)
ANDERSON Elizabeth 75 Wellingbro' 3b 98

Deaths Mar 1883 (>99%)
Anderson Stephen 86 Wellingborough 3b 92

Death in 1883 with age (??accurate or estimated) of 86 = birth year of ca 1797.

Which means he would have been about 14/15 if that is his baptism in 1812, and about 21 when he married Mary in 1818.
