Richard Anderson census look up needed
« on: Friday 21 August 09 12:40 UTC (UK) »

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could do a census lookup for Richard Anderson born about 1800 who worked as a mechanic in 1849 on his daughter, Elizabeth Anderson's marriage certificate.
She was born 1829 and lived on Hope Street, Derby in 1849.
Any information about him and his wife would be fantastic.
Thanks.

Hi Burto,

There seems to be only one Richard Anderson in Derbyshire in 1851:

1851
HO107/2143 282 27
Derby St Peter
6 Eagle Street

Richard Anderson, head, 56, Millwright, b. Derby
Ann, wife, 44, b. Crich
Frederick Swindell, son, 17, Clerk to Colone(?) Maker, b. Derby

Searching for an Elizabeth Anderson with a father Richard in 1841, again, this seems the only family:

1841
HO107/199/11 39 1
Derby St Peter
Eagle Street

Richard Anderson, 45, Millwright
Margaret, 45
Elizabeth, 15, Silk winder
Henry, 12, Net Threader
William Davis, 14, ditto
David Davis, 12, ditto

All born in county

Not sure?  Undecided

Hi Tati,
That's definately them in 1841-William Davis is down as a witness on the marriage certificate!
So Margaret must have died? Elizabeth's occupation on the certificate is mill hand, so it seems to be in keeping with the Richard Anderson in both entries?

There 2 possible deaths for Margaret Anderson in Derby between 1841 and 1851:

Mar 1843 and Jun 1848

Richard marries Ann Swindell in 1849.

The IGI has this possible marriage (remeber the Davis children in the 1841 household)

Richard Anderson - Margaret Davis
7 Nov 1836 Saint Peter, Derby

Meaning Margaret probably isn't Elizabeth's mum either!

Hi Tati,
Why would the Davis children keep their mother's name? How would I find out who Elizabeth's mother was? I can't see any baptisms on Familysearch in Derbyshire between 1826-1829?

Well, if Richard and Margaret were married as late as 1836, the Davis children were Richard's stepchildren and certainly entitled to keep their name.

I can't find a suitable christening on the IGI either, or a previous marriage for Richard. Hopefully someone else will have access to more complete records than the IGI  Cheesy

Hi Tati,
What records, other than the IGI, might other people have? Just so I can ask for the right thing! Thanks.
