Smith, or is it Kirby
« on: Friday 14 March 08 11:32 GMT (UK) »

Hi all,

Looking back through the records for John Shephard Smith, bap. 13th March 1865 at Hunmanby, Yorks., I have him in all census records from 1871 to 1901.

His parents were George Smith and Sarah Anne and his sisters Mary Elizabeth (June 1863), Clara ( Dec 1866) and Emma Anne (Dec 1868), all children bap. Hunmanby.

It is the 1871 census which is intriguing me; John Shephard Smith is living with Henry Kirby and his wife Sarah Ann, (RG10/4833/159/p3)  his relationship is given as 'son-in-law'. Also in the family is Emma Ann Kirby, aged 2.

Can't find Henry Kirby before 1871, nor can I find George Smith, Mary Elizabeth Smith or Clara Smith in 1871.

So, did George Smith die before 1871, Sarah remarried and Emma Jane adopted the name of Kirby; and where are Mary Elizabeth and Clara?

Anyone care to unravel this mystery?

Thanks.

Maurice

Hi Maurice,

I have seen a few entries where they put son-in-law when it should read stepson.

There is a death for a Clara Smith in the Bridlington area Jan/Mar 1868 aged 1 which could be her death & also a death for a Mary Elizabeth Smith in the Bridlington area for a Margaret Elizabeth Smith Jan/Mar 1864 (no age given)

It looks like her husband must have died & then she remarried but I haven't found a death or marriage yet.

Hi, Henry and Sarah Ann are on the 81 census, with

Emma A. Kirby   Daur         12   Hunmanby, York,     
William Kirby   Son         11   Hunmanby, York,     
Mary H. Kirby   Daur         9   S Kilvington, York,

Thomas H Kirby son 5   S Kilvington York
Elizabeth E. Kirby   Daur       1   Fencote, York,   


It is possible from the change of birthplace that that was when the remarriage took place? I have looked for a marriage but haven't found anything yet, sorry.
regards,
sigrid

Hi

I have found Henry Kirby born Holme at Pocklington on the 1851 Census with a wife named Elizabeth aged 25 who was born Youlthorpe.   

On the 1861 Census there is a Henry Kirby, a boarder at the Black Bull, Pocklington aged 33, married, Horse Breaker & place of birth was given as Youlthorpe - Ref Class: RG9; Piece: 3559; Folio: 102; Page: 16. 

I have looked for Elizabeth but cannot find her, there were a couple of deaths at Pocklington 1852 & 1855 for an Elizabeth Kirby so was he widowed rather than married?

The only birth I could find for a William Kirby c1870 was one in Pocklington Jul/Sep 1870 so was he born here rather than Hunmanby?

I am like Sigrid & sill haven't found his marriage to Sarah.

Hi Gill and sigrid,

Thank-you for your efforts this far, some information here for me to follow up. Presumably Hunmanby is is the Bridlington register area, so the deaths for Clara and Mary Elizabeth look strong possibilities.

Sorry sigrid, I don't have any birth/age for George Smith.

Regards,

Maurice

Hi  just in case it may help, I have found the following;

Elizabeth Emily Kirby 1878 q1        Pocklington
Thomas Henry Kirby   1875 q4        Thirsk    Yorkshire - North Riding,
Thomas Hornsey Kirby 1875   Q 1        York
Mary Hannah Kirby   1872 q4        Pocklington (1837-1937)

Still can't find a marr for Henry and Sarah. You may have to go through the marriages quarter by quarter, they may have even married after they started having  children, as did one of my rellies!

regards,

Hi

I think it worth pointing out that the Henry Kirby that Gill found on the 1851 with wife Elizabeth was age 28 b 1823

The 1871 cencus where he is with Sarah Ann he was 38 b 1833.

It could just be an error but Id be wary about it as it could be two different Henrys.

Even the 1861 Henry b Youlthorpe dosent help much as he was 33!!

Hope you dont mind me pointing this out...but ive been down that road and its a long way back!!!! Wink Wink

Hi

I agree with Jane, check everything yourself because it certainly is a long road when you have the wrong person.

Just to throw another spanner in the works, Sarah was a widow in 1891 & there is a death on FreeBMD for a Henry Kirby at Bedale District (which included Kirby Fleetham) for Oct/Dec 1882 & he was aged 58 but on the 1881 Census he gave his age as 50.  Is this him?

Hi all,

Many thanks for your help and information so far; now, if I could trouble you again ....

I have found a marriage of George Smith to Sarah Ann Shepherd in Bridlington district ( possibly Hunmanby ? ) in July/Aug/Sept 1862.

If anyone has access to the records, I would like to find George's age and name of father.

Thanks,

Maurice
