A Real Humdinger

[Davidjnr]

 

Hi everyone. I wonder if anyone can help me with this humdinger. I have a Henry Newbury 1791 – 1849 married to a Martha Eckersley 1798 – they have the following children all born in Manchester:

John Eckersley Newbury 1820 (he was later Tried and Sentenced in Lancaster Quarter Sessions England UK for 7 years for stealing lead from a roof)
Henry Newbury 1826 is on the 1841 census with his twin sons and a lodger transcribed as Hickson who is connected to the neighbours where Mary Newbury the daughter is staying i.e the Cartwightes, the Hickson family live next door.
William Newbury 1826 as above with Henry and his father.

Which comes to Mary Newbury 1829
Martha 1834 and
Elizabeth 1836

Martha the mother, Elizabeth and Martha are all nowhere to be found on the 1841 census which leads me to believe they all died, as Henry is living with his sons and his daughter is living with his sister from Ireland married to a Cartwight.

All of the sons i.e. John Eckersley Newbury, Henry jnr and William his twin I have traced along with there marriages and children however I cannot find Mary b.1829 christened 1834. on any census?

Can anyone help?

however I cannot find Mary b.1829 christened 1834. on any census

As you may already know - the Manchester 1851 was water damaged during storage although some parts have been restored

This is a possible marriage for her

Lancashire Marriage indexes for the years: 1851
 
Mary Newbery to  John Kay at  Manchester Cathedral Records at Manchester CATH/86/341

The IGI shows the date as 2.11.1851 so if it can be looked up at the records office her fathers name can be checked

Fantastic. Any children are they on the census?

Might be worth you having a look on here foe 1851 census.

Hi

I don't think we should jump the gun just yet as it needs to be established that her fathers name was Henry on the marriage entry

It's too easy to go down the wrong path - particularly as her surname is spelt differently than on the 1841

If nobody can look it up for you and you decide to buy the cert - order it via the LancashireBMD website.  If you put a condition on the application that fathers name must be Henry and it isn't - you won't be charged.  If you order it via the GRO with the same condition - they will charge £3 for a failed search
