Please could someone see if they can find Alice Wiswould on the 1891 census for Lincoln. She was born 1883 in Lincoln and married John Gray in 1898. Sorry it is not much to go on but hopefully with a strange name like this she shouldn't be too hard to find. Says me hopefully. Thanks for your help. Jane

So she married at 15 years old. Irene

Jane, they were all born Lincoln, Lincolnshire except for father, Leonard who was born Kyrne?, Lincolnshire.

Thank you Helen for your help. Please can you tell me where they where born. My husband seems to think Wiswould is a German name and I am interested to see if this is the case. Thanks for replying Irene. Yes it does seem she married young. I thought in 1898 it was ok to marry at 15yrs. Thanks again Jane

I,m not sure it was ok to marry at 15 but it seems they did, i,ll see what else i can find for you.

They were all born in Lincolnshire according to the above census. Kath. x

I think she married because Leonard was on the way, bless her. Regards Irene

Thanks Kathleen and Helen for your help. I wonder if she was pregnant when she got married? Jane

Leonard's place of birth is Kyme, Lincolnshire. Kath. x

Thanks Margaret and Irene. Irene, Leonard was Alice's father. Or did Alice have a Child I don't know about? Thanks for all your help Jane

I found them in the 1901 census where Alice had 2 children. I will go back and have a look and check. Irene

Helen has given you the details for the 1851 census (you can work it out from the year given for his birth and his age). Kath. x

There information on Leonard Wiswould on the igi index on family search, they come from nottingham.

As you can see from the 1901 census Alice had Leonard 2 years old and John 2months old and is still living in the same area as they both lived before they married.St. Mary Le Wigford. In the 1891 census they lived just a few streets from each other. John Gray's parents were Robert,a shipwright, and Maria. He had other siblings. Regards Irene

Alice was born 03.06.1883 and baptised 17.06.1883 at St. Mary Le Wigford. Other details of the Wiswould family on IGI. Good luck Irene
