Census/BMD etc. Please give as much information as possible. Andrea

Hi Andrea Thanks for the offer Could you please look up any information on James Daw born c1814 Plymouth,Devon. He married Rebecca Dustin born 1816 Plymouth but has also been found on the 1881 census as living with a Harriet Daw (wife) and 3 children. Any help finding marriages and births would be great if not thanks for trying Best wishes Julie

Hi Julie Sorry it has taken ages but this is a bit of a conundrum. I am getting a bit thrown off by the 1881 census entry. What makes you think that this is the same James Daw? Could James not have died earlier? I have Rebecca, a widow on earlier census' and before that she appears with children as a Fisherman's wife. Could that be her? Many thanks Andrea

Hi Andrea l have a puzzle with my husbands great uncle Arthur Louis Powney 1880 Derbyshire was listed as Arthur Lewis Poney on his birth as was his brother The puzzle is l cannot find a marriage for him or death Could you please have a look to make sure l'm not missing him Thanks Pam

Pam Do you have a certificate for Arthur? I can find no Poney's on Familyrelatives and there is no Arthur Louis Powney's born in Derbyshire at that time either. Do you have any information on parents/siblings etc? Many thanks Andrea

Hi Andrea Thanks for the help, But It is the same person as one of the daughters Mary Jane was on the death cert of rebecca and there is also rumuors in the family history that i have been told that he left rebecca and lived as they say in sin with Harriet. I am as Confused as you. Thanks again Julie

Hi Andrea No l don't have any certs for Arthur. He is on the 1891 Broughton. Lancashire as Arthur Lewis born 1880 Derby. Derbyshire. With Father John born Sedgley. Staffs. wife Emma born Exmouth. Devon. Athurs brother John Henry is with them too. Does this help any? Regards Pam

Hi Julie When did Rebecca die? Many thanks Andrea

Pam These are the only marriages for an Arthur Powney between 1896 and 1920: No Surname Forename1 Forename2 Forename3 Spouse District Page No Event Quarter Year View Image Match 1 Powney Arthur Clutton.5c 1064 Marriage 3 1910 2 Powney Arthur Henry Holsworthy.5b 1027 Marriage 2 1902 3 Powney Arthur H Swann Kingston.2a 1025 Marriage 4 1917 4 Powney Arthur Leeds.9b 1025 Marriage 4 1900 5 Powney Arthur Pontardawe.11a 1715 Marriage 3 1910 6 Powney Arthur W Thornhill Wandsworth.1d 1714 Marriage 3 1920 7 Powney Arthur M Wolverhampton.6b 1023 Marriage 2 1911 There is nothing for Poney.

Is there a chance that he emigrated? Seems the only logical option left. Hope that helps. Andrea

Julie I have gone back to the 1881 census and the image is showing only James, Harriet and one daughter Fanny. Who were the other two? In 1891 Harriet looks like she is a lodger in Clerkenwell and is stated as a widow. The Rebecca I found in the 1851 census has five children Mary Jane, 15, Rebecca, 13, Hannah, 11, Maria, 9 and Sarah, 7. On IGi I found a Mary Jane born to a Rebecca and James in 1835 which seems to fit. If this is not them then there must be another family with the same names? I can't find a marriage for a James and a Harriet so it may be that she was the equivalent of a 'common-law' wife which wasn't as unusual as it was thought to be. Sorry I don't seem to be of much help. Andrea

Hi I have a John Allen born around 1853 in St Giles or St Pancras. I know in 1891 he was a market porter. I would be grateful if you could find him in 1871 or earlier. He previously lived at 10 Nottingham Court.

Rebecca Could this be him in 1861: John Allen Age: 8 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1853 Relation: Son Father's name: James Mother's name: Ann Gender: Male Where born: St Pancras, Middlesex, England Civil Parish: St Pancras Ecclesiastical parish: St Thomas County/Island: Middlesex Country: England Registration district: Pancras Sub-registration district: Camden Town ED, institution, or vessel: 12 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 109 Household Members: Name Age Ann Allen 37 Ann Allen 10 Emma Allen 3 Henry Allen 6 James Allen 36 John Allen 8 Louisa Allen 12 Thomas Allen 17 William Allen 15 Andrea

Thanks Andrea It could very well be him. Did it by any chance give an address or occupation? Rebecca

Rebecca In 1861 John is still a scholar and James looks like he is a Blind Maker, This is the family in 1871: Name: John Allen Age: 19 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1852 Relation: Son Father's name: James Mother's name: Ann Gender: Male Where born: St Pancras, Middlesex, England Civil Parish: St Pancras Ecclesiastical parish: St Mary County/Island: London Country: England Registration district: Pancras Sub-registration district: Somers Town ED, institution, or vessel: 12 Household schedule number: 175 Household Members: Name Age Ann Allen 46 Eliza Allen 6 Emma Allen 14 George Allen 3 James Allen 45 John Allen 19 James Green 19 They are living in Little Clarendon Street and both John and James are working as blind makers. Hope that helps Andrea

Hi If you can please can you look up a marriage of a Stockford to a Cruickshank. I'm trying to help a family member find out about his family as the elder relatives have told him to leave well alone. I have the children from this marriage as Lily J Stockford b 1925,Leonard William Stockford b 1927 & Frederick Arthur Stockford b 1928 all in Rochford Essex. Thanks Lorraine

Hi Andrea Thanks for the help. It does seem to be the right family you have found, My link is through Mary Jane and her husband Joseph Peek. Best wishes Julie

hi there hope you can help.. looking for any information on Mary elanor Leach born sunderland 1862 and Elizabeth jane Leach born 1856 any census or bmd information on mary and elizabeth apreciated. parents were john leach and jane lathan. christine

Thank Andrea, As far as I know John was a market porter, but that was in later census'. I appreciate the time you have taken and hopefully that is him. Rebecca

Hi Not ignoring anyone but have just popped on for five minutes but don't have time to look at the moment. Will be back at the weekend to catch up. Many thanks Andrea

Hi Lorraine Sorry for the delay in replying. I have checked all Cruikshank marriages from 1914 to 1926 and there are none to a Stockford. Lily Stockford is definitely registered with the mother's name of Cruikshank but their is definitely no marriage listed. I haven't gone past 1926 because I am running out of credits. Sorry I couldn't get to the bottom of that one for you. Many thanks Andrea
