Find Ancestors

All census and some Durham parish records.

Please give as much information as you have.

Also, could I kindly request that no one PM's me. I won't be able to deal with requests after today so there is no point in adding to the thread from tomorrow onwards.

Many thanks

Hi Andrea
I am looking for the marriage of Joseph Neal(e) born c1819 Eaton Socon, Beds and Elizabeth Emery c1825 also born in Beds. I was told through Genes that they married in 1841 but I cannot find anything.
Many thanks
Gill

Hi Andrea,
Wondered if you could help me with the following please:

Currently researching my Father's family and stuck at his Great Granddad. His name is William Hignett, was born around 1831 (give or take a year) and died in 1891 (approx) - born in Lancashire, England and died in West Derby, Liverpool. His occupation was a car proprietor. Was married to a lady called Matilda. I do not have her maiden name, unfortunately and this is where my search has ended. What I do know is that they were married between 1855-1857 and possibly in Belfast.
Thanks in advance,
Lyndsey.

Hi Andrea, I'm looking for the Parents of William Henry Strike born 1884 Lanchester Vol 10a pge 343 4th Quarter any help will be greatly appreciated. I think i've got him at st oswald in the 1891 census aged 6 but cant find him 1901 age 16, but he did get married 22nd march 1902 to Mary Blackburn Jobling born 1880.

Hi Gillian

Is this them on the 851 census?

Name: Joseph Neal
Age: 37
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1814
Relation: Head
Spouse's Name: Elizabeth
Gender: Male
Where born: Eaton, Bedfordshire, England

Civil Parish: Harrold
Town: Harrold
County/Island: Bedfordshire
Country: England

Street address:

Occupation:

Condition as to marriage:

Registration district: Bedford
Sub-registration district: Riseley

Household schedule number: 79
Household Members: Name Age
Anna Neal 3
Charles Neal 4
Elizabeth Neal 36
Esthel Neal 12
Fredrick Neal 14
Joseph Neal 37

If so they are likely to have married before 1841 as their eldest child looks to be 14. That would suggest that they may have married on or before 1837 when marriages were not registered.

This looks like the same family in 1841:

Name: Joseph Neal
Age: 25
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1816
Gender: Male
Where born: Bedfordshire, England

Civil Parish: Pavenham
Hundred: Willey

Do you think that these are yours?

Many thanks

Lyndsey

Do you have William on any census?

Thanks

Andrea

Hi Anthony

Are you 100% certain that William Henry Strike born 1884 is the man that you are looking for?

Thanks

Andrea

Hi,
He is on the 1891 census records as living in 123 (I think) Opie Street, Everton, Liverpool and in 1881 they were living in 4 Kew Street - but that does not seem to show up on any computerised census records, but this is the family that we need further information on! Hope this helps.
Lyndsey.

About 90% he was born Lanchester he died in 1926 age 42, i have noticed that there's quite a few William Henry Strikes in the surrounding years but i do think that is the right one.

Hi
Could you do a Adderss look up Please
27 Dartmouth Road Leeson Dublin 1914
63 Murtage Road Dublin 1921 hope so
Thanks Lynne

Hi Andrea
Thanks a lot for that. Its a great help.

Gill

Hi Lyndsey

They are Wilson again in 1871 so I'm thinking Wilson wasn't an error. Any ideas where the Wilson may come from?

Hi Lindsey

And again in 1861!

Esther Wilson
Age: 6
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1855
Relation: Daughter
Father's Name: William
Mother's Name: Matilda
Gender: Female
Where born: Liverpool, Lancashire, England

Civil Parish: Liverpool
Ecclesiastical parish: St Martin
Town: Liverpool
County/Island: Lancashire
Country: England

Registration district: Liverpool

Household schedule number: 206
Household Members: Name Age
Esther Wilson 6
George Wilson 2
Matilda Wilson 30
Samuel Wilson 2 Mo
Thomas Wilson 4
William Wilson 28

Possible theories here are that William Hignett was second husband and original was William Wilson? Bootmaker to car dealer isn't impossible but a little unusual so perhaps it's two people?

Andrea

Hi Lindsey

Possible marriage for William Wilson and Matilda Allen:

Sep - Dec 1854 Liverpool 8b 308

In 1851 there are a few William Wilson's around the area but the following is quite a good match as his father is a shoemaker and he is a gilder. They are living at 11 Grimfield Street.

Does any of this seem feasible or do you think I'm way off track?

Best Wishes


Andrea

Anthony

Was he married to Mary Blackburn? Do you have their marriage cert?

Thanks

I only have access to British census between 1841 and 1901 so am unable to help.
