Title: I am well and truly stuck, Edith Cree.
Post by: Eilleen on Saturday 04 November 17 11:25 GMT (UK)
Hello , this is what I know. :)

In 1939 Edith Cree is Mrs Catley, and living at   30 Mill Gate , Newark .

she states her birth date as 16th Dec 1910.

she married Walter Catley, newark reg 1930. Newark    7b   1186

1911 census , has a Edith Emily Cree , living at    2 Sharp's Yard,  Mill Gate,  Newark.

her birthday was    16 Nov 1909.

she went on to marry in 1930  Mr  Colnett E Dethick    Newark    7b   1186 ( same reg as mine ? )

the births are also the same reg,

I cannot for the life of Me find who the parents are of my Edith Cree.

any idea's would be really appreciated, at this moment I would prefer not to order birth cert , running out of funds  :(

Eilleen.

No parents with this one?  Who is she with?

She married two different people in 1930 yet is Mrs Catley not Mrs Dethick in 1939  ???

Looking at the GRO site there are 2 Edith Crees born Newark 1909 - could your Edith be mistaken with her year of birth, my grandmother always gave hers as a year later than it was!

Millipede , the wedding for 1900 looks good,

when Edith Cree started having children , she called one Lois  ::)

Groom ,
 I did wonder about the birthday, my Mum also thought she was born a year later than she actually was.

There is this family

1891 - 5 Union Terrace Row, Newark upon Trent, Newark, Nottinghamshire

Walter   Cree   Head   Married   Male   31      Nottinghamshire,
Annie   Cree   Wife   Married   Female   27      Nottinghamshire
Eliza   Cree   Daughter      Female   5   Scholar   Nottinghamshire
Fanny   Cree   Daughter      Female   3   Nottinghamshire

On electrol roll same address in 1891 is a Walter Penson...other years not checked, but there is a mystery, he seems to be the same man.

Think I found the connection

1861 - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M76S-YMF transcribed as Halady

1871 census has Walter Penson (1859) son with mother Eliza and Hallady? Penson

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VB6R-TYJ

So looks like he was born Cree.

CREE    Eliza        Newark    7b   501    
PONSON    Halladay        Newark    7b   501    

He was years older than Eliza

Think Walter knocked a few years off his in later census  as Lois was younger

I see in 1841 the family address is

  Queen Street, Newark, Newark Union, Nottinghamshire

is this the Workhouse , and if so does the following census that give Queen street as their address

mean they were permanently in the workhouse . :'( :)

Post by: Cas (stallc) on Saturday 04 November 17 16:00 GMT (UK)
Glad to help :)

Just found an online source of the Cree name which includes Eliza, but the info is wrong.

1881- https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q27K-K2X9 Halliday dies 1873.

Eliza is still alive as Penson and dies 1897. She is a few streets away from Walter in 1891 at King St.

Suggestion for Milly - brace yourselves -

Mar 1897 Newark

Millicent Whiteley Baggaley

Mothers maiden name Johnson
Title: Re: I am well and truly stuck, Edith Cree.
Post by: Cas (stallc) on Sunday 05 November 17 08:28 GMT (UK)
Looks a good possible that Milly was not a child of couple with first wife, as she died 1896. Possibly a relation of Lois or Walter and took her in as part of family?

1911 all 4 children accounted, 1 died.

Those who have searched cannot connect Milly to family with first wife and she was not born to Lois.

interesting with the names though as there is also a

Lois Johannah Baggaley mothers name Johnson born Dec 1893 Newark

Sister of Millicent perhaps but don't know where they were in 1901 to see who parents were. 

By 1911 this Lois is 17 married with a daughter - also called Lois Johannah!

flipping heck, its like four jigsaw's all muddled up .

look at this

in 1939.  Lois Cree ,  birth   10 Dec 1870    Incapacitated   Widowed    aged 69.
is living with Mr and Mrs Carrington , mrs Carrington was Grace Cree born 1914
Mothers name Baggaley .

I am defiantly losing the plot  ??? ???  its like musical chairs with people ,
all stand up and move about  , land were ever you wish  ;D ;D
Title: Re: I am well and truly stuck, Edith Cree.
Post by: Milliepede on Sunday 05 November 17 15:38 GMT (UK)
At least 4 jigsaws Eilleen  ;D

As an aside I think Richard Baggaley and Fanny Johnson marriage Jun 1890 could be the parents of Millicent and Lois Johannah. 

In 1901 Richard is a widower with son Albert 11 and Lois 7. 
As we know Milly was with Walter and Lois Penson as a daughter in 1901.   

There's a Fanny death in Sep 1898 age 30 could be her.

Richard is Lois' brother  (they're together on 1881 - Lois transcribed as Louis by ancestry)

wondering if there's any connection between Fanny Johnson and Sarah Ann?

Couple of options for Fanny Johnson, but I think she is the one who is a servant in 1881 and with uncle and aunt Robert and Mary Whiteley in 1871 (see Millicent's middle name). Mary Whiteley's maiden name was Taylor - there's a Fanny Johnson b Newark 1868, mmn Taylor

Interestingly there's this
JOHNSON, SARAH  ANN      mmn TAYLOR
Q4 1863  NEWARK  Volume 07B  Page 293

So potentially, Robert Baggaley and Walter Cree/Penson marry sisters. Both are widowed with young children to care for within a couple of  years of each other. Walter then marries his first wife's brother in law's sister and they take on their mutual niece Millicent, so supporting Robert
