Daniel Isitt
« on: Tuesday 04 August 09 16:01 UTC (UK) »
On the 41 census Daniel Isitt is boarding with the Willers/Millers family in Kimbolton, Hunts. He is aged 10 and an Ag Lab, place of birth denoted with an N. On the 51, place of birth given as Bedford. On the 61 as Kettering. On the 71 and 81 given as Kimbolton. He married Jane Day in Kimbolton and stayed there the rest of his life. I cannot find any information as to where he might have come from and why he was  living in Kimbolton. There doesn't apppear to be any other Isitt's in the area, leading me to think that Bedford may be his place of birth but where and to whom? Nothing on the IGI, so have now come to a brick wall. Any help appreciated with suggestions as to why he was living with this family. Could he be an orphan and have been taken from the workhouse for employment or sent out to work by his parents to bring some money in to support a large family.Where are the rest of his family?

Hi

Do you have his marriage certificate as this should give his fathers name, unless of course he was illegitimate

This has no bearing on finding his parentage but the 1841 family were John & Charlotte Willows

They were still in Kimbolton in 1851 - all shown as born there

Thanks for the replies. The query is actually for a friend of mine and we have been working back and have Daniel Isitt on all the census. We have found the regs for him and his wifes death, and also for his marriage to Jane Day, which she has sent for in the hope that it will give a fathers name. So, while waiting for that to arrive, I thought that I would try and find some more ISSIT'S as they seem a bit thin on the ground and cannot find any particular place or area where they seem to have originated from.
It was the fact that Daniel was 10 and boarding out and working that made us wonder if he was an orphan but that will hopefully become clearer when we receive the marriage certificate.

Thanks for that information, he might have been the brother of Daniel but I cannot find any other ISITT'S in Kimbolton on the census, so wondered about the workhouse. I believe there was one in Kimbolton.

I believe Kimbolton workhouse closed in the mid 1830s when St Neots Union was created. This included some Beds parishes, of which the largest was Eaton Socon, plus a few small parishes. I can't see any Isitts in any of these parishes.
