Nottinghamshire / Re: Alice Mary Midworth b Nottingham 1896 - Brick wall
« on: Tuesday 03 November 20 22:18 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Eric, good to hear from you, I've been watching your Ancestry tree growing!
I have one bit of extra evidence now to confirm Alice's mother is Mary Midworth b1853 (Sophia's sister).  A cousin found Alice's baptism in Markfield Leicestershire in September 1906, where her mother is named as 'Mary Midworth, Markfield ex Muskham'. So that clinches it for me - Mary was living in North Muskham just outside Newark on Trent at the 1901 and 1911 census. Result!
However no father's name is given so there's more to do. But it does confirm that I'm your 3rd cousin once removed. I'll email you a copy of the baptism record if you'd like it.

Hi Jamila169, I'm just following up on some old posts and I wondered if you ever got your DNA test done? It would be good to know if we have a match!
I've had mine done at Ancestry and 23andMe, and I've put the results on GedMatch.
Best wishes
Pat

I'm glad my tree has given you some help, I'd like to see what you have on the Mansfield and Eckington side. Having extra generations is a big benefit when looking for DNA matches.

Thank you! I've not seen all those links before.
I've set up a public tree on Ancestry to help with potential DNA matches - it's called PMF FOR DNA. Most of the info I've gathered on the Midworths is on there. I'd love to see what you've found.
Have you done a DNA test by any chance?

Hi Jamila169, thanks for your post! I've not got any further with documentation so I'm trying DNA now, and I've had some interesting matches that I'm trying to confirm.
It's brilliant to find someone else researching the Midworths! The Mary Midworth I'm looking at was b 1853, the daughter of William and Sophia, i think you're probably talking about the previous generation? I didn't know that William had an illegitimate daughter before he married Sophia. I'd love to compare notes, especially about their big cheesiness, that sounds interesting. Is there any way we can do that?

Hi Jo, sorry I've just spotted this.

I've got a couple of Frank Midworths in my tree, but neither is the right age for you.
Frank Arnold Midworth (b 1906 in Staines, Middx) Father Rupert Midworth
Frank Crossley Midworth (b 1854 in Newark, Notts)
The name 'Cooper' isn't in my tree at all.

Sorry I can't be of more help at the moment.

Thanks MargP
And as she had an address - or at least gave one for the birth cert - she presumably wouldn't have had the baby at a charitable home or hospital?

I'm running out of ideas for finding evidence of the Mary Midworth who had this baby.

I've never found a baptism for Alice Mary Midworth (1896). Does anyone know of a good way to effectively search for baptisms over more than one county (i.e. Notts and Lincs), and covering non-conformist as well as CofE? - apparently during her childhhod in Sibsey Lincs the family she was with were Primitive Methodist.

Thanks for that Eric, perfectly explained!
And I see what you mean. It looks as though 11 people lived at 11 Hanley St in 1901, with only four having the same surname.
Nottingham Archives have been very helpful today in looking at who was at that address in the relevant year of 1896.
"We have checked the electoral registers for Hanley Street in 1896 in Sherwood Ward and no-one is registered at number 11.
Kelly’s Directory of Nottinghamshire 1895 has 11 Hanley Street: Bownes, Edwin, commercial traveller
Wright’s Directory of Nottingham 1898-9: 11 Hanley Street: Mrs Selina Parrott [matches the 1901 census]
The Wright’s directory of 1902 describes the address as apartments."

Unfortunately Edwin Bownes is not someone I have come across in the Midworth or Noble families. So no further forward.

If a pregnant woman was living alone in a lodging house in 1896 what would usually happen? Would she have the baby there, say with a midwife, or would she usually go to hospital - does anyone know?

Thanks avm228, that's useful. Perhaps the record office may be able to advise me on what happened there.
