Ester Johnson.
« on: Wednesday 26 November 08 00:20 UTC (UK) »

Help please. can anyone advise how to obtain a Birth Cert with this scant knowledge?
I want Birth Cert for -Henry Addy born about 1871 in Norwell Notts.
Mother Ester Johnson born Pinchbeck Fen about 1849
On Henry`s Marriage Cert his father is also a Henry Addy .Deceased Blacksmith. This was 1896
So either Henry Addy junior was illegitimate and Ester was never married to Henry senior or she remarried a Mr. Johnson. There is no Maiden name to go on and I have trawled through so many records I think I will never solve this .Ester does not appear on any records other than the 1891 census and although it states she was married there is no Mr. Johnson present. Any suggestions most welcome. Viktoria--although this has beaten me!

What is interesting is
martha Hunt who is with Esther Johnson in 1891 - and listed as sister in law- was previously martha Addy -and she has a brother called Johnson Addy!!!
I can't find any more on johnson Addy other than he is 18 n 1871 census?Huh?

What a mystery???

She may not have been a sister-in-law by modern definition.  In those times step-brothers and sisters were often referred to as "in law".  Judging by the age of the two women (42 and 24), it's possible that Martha Hunt is Esther's step-sister.

I thought that was a possiblity,Nick - but traced (what looks like) Marthas family back to 1851 and no sign of an Ester.
1851 her parents are living in Balne-Jonathan (26-farmer)and Martha (24) Addy -no children presentjust John Earl (20FS)

Of course there is the possibility Esther was b pre marriage and is with Grandparents -or other family members

or martha was previously married and Esther is a child from that marriage.

the other puzzle is why is son's name Addy -and where is he in 1881 (and possibly 1871 if he was b in time for census - I can only locate him in 1891/1901?Huh?

There are a couple of other threads on this topic - I tried to answer one - it was locked, with no link, so a mod might like to fix that one. meanwhile;

 I thought it may be useful to post the rest of the information here - so it is all together - I'm not very good at multi windowing

Help!! !all you very helpful people out there. Ester Johnson appears in only one record ie. the 1891 census. She is 42 so born 1849. Married but no Mr. Johnson in the house at the census. She was a dressmaker born at Pinchbeck Fen. One son Henry Addy aged 20 born  1871 Norwell Notts.On his marriage cert in 1896 his father is named as Henry Addy .Blacksmith(deceased).So either Ester remarried or was not married to Henry Addy the Blacksmith - and my grandad was illegitimate. There is no maiden name so I cannot obtain a Birth Cert for Henry Addy junior-my grandad. The address in the 1891 census is 5 Reather Street Manchester .St. George`s Parish St. Michael`s District. I have trawled through records  without any success and don`t know what to try next. She bugs me and when I am searching for her strange things happen to my computer!The funny thing is staying with her as sister in law was Martha Hart Nee Addy but Martha had no brother of an age to be consorting with Ester either in or out of wedlock. It is a mystery. Viktoria

I don't know if the following is the correct family - I'm still looking, but it is interesting. I looked for the lad Henry (no surname) on the Family search census
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=census/search_census.asp
Quite a few born in Nottinhamshire of the right age - but only 1 found born in Norwell

1881 census RG11/4582 58/19
Carlton Street Alverthorpe Cum Thornes, York
Eliza Wright head W 34 dressmaker Pinchbeck, Lincoln
Henry T Wright son  10 Norwell, Nottingham
Rebecca A Wright dau 9 Wakefield, York

A few FreeBDM entries
Marriages Dec 1881 Dobson ADDY Nottingham 7b 535 on the same page Eliza Wright
Birth Jun 1870 Henry Thomas Wright Southwell 7b 314 (Southwell includes Norwell)
Birth Sep 1871 Rebecca Ann Wright Wakefield 9c 60

Living nearby was the following RG11/4582 124/9
Thornes lane, Tadman Bldg Alverthorpe Cum Thornes, York
Dobson ADDY head U  28 grocer and beerseller Balne, York
Jonathan ADDY brother 25 Balne, York

So is Ester = Eliza and is Henry Addy = Henry Wright
The Johnson name I haven't yet found - nor where Martha Hunt  fits the picture

Jonathon seems to be there as well - so that links Martha as a SIL - Did you find her marriage?

There is a marriage in the district of Loughborough between James Wright and possible Eliza Adkin - Sep 1869 - but impossible to see if there is a death for James - fairly common name.

1901 seems to find Dobson Addy living in Pollington Yorkshire - listed as single  Huh

Suz

No - not at the minute. I was wondering if he immigrated or similar when I couldn't find a death - but then I found him in 1901. Perhaps he left home & this brought about the name change - if Eliza is the correct person. Our families do like to leave us some puzzles.  It could also be a transcription errors.

HI


Martha was shown as Martha Hart not Hunt in the 1891 census.

Martha J Addy bn 1867 Baln married George Victor Hart in Northwich in 1888 If I remember rightly so where is George Victor Hart in the 1891 census since both ladies show that they are married.


Martha had remarried to Fred Bateman by the 1901 census and was living back in Yorkshire.


But it still does not answer the poster original question....

HI

Could someone else check the 1891  to see if they think that this could be George v Hart bn 1868 Ardwick whom married Martha Addy as shown above.

He states he is married but no wife is with him. His parents as shown as Sampson and Fanny


There is a death for him in 189 Sept which is obviously why he doesn't show in the 1901 census.

Thanks Wendy

I see another post I missed with a little information about Martha
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,343235.0.html

Dobson Addy died in 1923 aged 69 - on FreeBDM - I wonder if they divorced? Seems unlikely for those times.

Trish

Edit: 1891 is mentioned on the thread I linked to with the information you have given

I have been trying to find Eliza/Esther b Pinchbeck

I have found this- 1851 census (edited)

Benjamin Rowles Head Farmer Spalding
Matthew lee srvant M 29 indoor lab
Ann lee M 31
ELIZA LEE daughter of serv 4 Pinchbeck

maybe she was b before parents married and is reg in another name ??

There is also an Esther lewis b Pinchbeck - bu she is with parents in 1871
