Shropshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1841 census look up - BAUGH

Just realised that in my first post I referred to Beriah's wife as Mary Ann - I meant Ann. Mary Ann was of course John H's wife!

I found John H's marriage to Mary Kenny on FreeBMD (limited search to all marriages in the uk between John Baugh's and Mary's (only 2 in the West Midlands - one in Wolverhampton who was a Mary Jane anyway, and the correct one in Walsall in December 1881). It also gives his middle name as Henry. I have also found the record on Ancestry (limited search to Walsall this time and found all marriages of John Baughs between 1870-1890 and none of the other records - 5 in total - matched).
 
I then tried to look for a census return in 1871 in walsall for a Mary Kenny who was born c1863 in Walsall. There was only one (born c1864). Her father Thomas was a labourer from Galway. Mary Ann was 7 on the 1871 census, but I have traced the family on the 1861 census also but no further than that. It's likely that they came over in the 1840s/1850s, along with many others fleeing the potato famine. I had wondered if there was an Irish connection somewhere, as Maureen (my partner John's mum) had said previously that her grandmother Annie Baugh (later Simmons) had spoken of one, although she had thought that it related to Annie herself. I am happy to send you copies of the census returns. I can send a copy of the marriage record too, although it doesn't give much information - I haven't ordered the certificate yet.

I will now try to send you the message I prepared earlier!

Hi Sue,

Thanks for the PM. I have written a reply to you, but I can't send it as I need to make a minimum of 3 posts on here - this is my 2nd! I will add another post after this one, with details of how I found Mary Ann Kenny, in the hope that it will 'unlock' my messaging status.

All the best,

Jenny

Hello! I know I am somewhat late in joining the discussion, but I have been researching my partner John's family tree, and he and his mum Maureen are also decended from John H Baugh!

John and Mary Ann Baugh's daughter Annie married David Simmons (lodging with them in the 1901 census) and then moved to the Hemsworth area (West Yorkshire - specifically South Elmsall - in fact Maureen still lives in the area). David and Annie's son William (Bill) was Maureen's father and John's grandfather.

John H Baugh's parents were Brian/Beriah (born c1831 in Shropshire) and Mary Ann (born c1830 in Dawley Parish).  I think that Mary Ann's maiden name was Kenny/Kenney and she was the daughter of Thomas and Ann, who came from Galway. I'm still slightly puzzled as to who Beriah was decended from though (sounds like you've had the same problem!). Any further information would be gratefully received. I'm not sure what relation you would be to John and Maureen, but thought I'd find out! I tried to send a message to you but I wasn't able to and wasn't sure if it was the 'done thing' anyway (I'm new to all this - this is the first post I've made on here).

Hope to hear from you soon,
 
All the best,
 
Jenny Twomey, on behalf of John and Maureen Cocksedge
