Have Bridget on 1861 census with husband Peter RG09/3204/87
Thank you Sheila

The 1861 you quote has her aged 54, so gaining 30 years in the 20 years between 1841 and 1861.
What makes you believe they are the same?

I have found the birth of Elizabeth Fawcett 1838 Gibraltar, in the GRO birth indices 1761 to 1924, it says of 82nd of foot volume 96 page 35, would I be able to get a copy of this, to possibly find her fathers name?

Hello Pauline, have received the birth cert for Elizabeth Fawcett born Gibraltar, it confirms er mother was Bridget but father was John, so this is not my family as James Fawcetts father was Peter. So can put this line to bed.
Thanks for your help

did it give a maiden name for Bridget
-
No did not give her maiden name, but it was Thompson,that was the name of her son James in the 1851 census, she had him as Fawcett on the 1841 census

Do you have his baptism to confirm this or is it from another source :-\
-
On Bridget's marriage to Thomas prest she states her father as James Thompson
Sheila

James thompson Fawcett is not my James Fawcett, my James has the father Peter,we have his marriage cert to Ann Burgoyne 1866 and have him going forward from then, 1871 1881 1891 1901 he died 1902.
Sheila
-
If you would like us to continue looking for your James on census prior to 1871 could you please give us the details including reference number from that census.
If the sole source of James father being Peter is on his marriage certificate please bear in mind that this information was sometimes wrong.
Hope we can help :)

Thanks for the reply Rosie, my Fawcett family came from Sligo, the Bridget Fawcett who married Thomas prest came from Dublin, saw this on a census. I have what I think could be my James martin Fawcett on the 1861 census he has himself as Martin Fawcett age 28 born Ireland occupation Tinner
With wife Elizabeth age 23, I think his wife was Elizabeth Proctor married 1858, RG09 3541 99 5 Hill top Tadcaster. Is there anyway I can prove this is my james Fawcett without buying the marriage cert.
Sheila
-
I see he was also Martin in 1871 and James M when he died. :) It is generally easier to work backwards, that is probably why we were having problems finding him. ;)
16 Nov 1858 - Knaresborough, St Mary
Martin Fawcett - Full Age - father PETER Fawcett
Elizabeth Procter - Full Age - abode Knaresborough - father William Procter

There is a possible for him in 1851 but he is a lodger

You are probably better looking at the places of birth in Ireland

It looks as though the family did not come to England until the mid/late 1840's

1851 census Fawcett family HO107 2286 f95 p13
Petter Fasset(Peter Fawcett) says born Lathrum?
Bridget wife born Sligo
Ann dau born Lathrum?
Ellen dau born Lathrum?
James son born Sligo town
Bridget dau born Sligo town
Cannot find a place called Lathrum, wondered if it could possibly be Rathbraughan? Thinking maybe the enumerator wrote what he thought he heard same as with the Fawcett name. Would appreciate someone taking a look at this for me.
