Marriage and 1851 census lookup please
« on: Monday 08 November 04 15:42 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone help me with a marriage and census lookup please for Charles Bowkett

He was born about 1826 in Ledbury, Hereford so would be about 25 in 1851. If anyone has access to the earlier census' I would be grateful if they would also look him up in those as well. In the 1881 census it was misspelt Bowrett and in the 1871 census it was misspelt Bowpelt

I am trying to find an index number for his marriage to Ann who was born 1833 in Cookley, Worcester (no idea of the date) but so far have found nothing. Any suggestions where to look next?

Try Charles Bokett marriage of the September qtr of 1852 at Worcester, volume 6c, page 331.

Ann was from Worcester!

Do you know Ann's maiden name? could it possibly have been Mary ANN Lloyd (the only one of the possibles with ANN included as part of her christian name)

No mention is made of the area of the census (1871 & 1881) where your Bowketts were found! where?

Bryant

Researching names BRYANT (Camberwell), PASTERFIELD (Essex and all), RAY (Holborn/Islington areas back to Brentford), POWELL (Glouc & beyond?)
Fletcher (Glouc into Warwickshie into Lancs?), BUCKLEY (Chatham area), Watson (Chatham area).

Thanx for that

I don't have any idea of what Ann's maiden name was so it could well be Mary Ann Lloyd

Might Have him for 1881.

Ann BOWRETT   Head   W   Female   48   Cookley, Worcester, England   Dressmaker     
 William BOWRETT   Son   U   Male   18   W-Hampton, Stafford, England   Iron Brazier     
 Laura BOWRETT   Daur   U   Female   16   Birmingham, Warwick, England   (General) Servant Domestic     
 Charles BOWRETT   Son      Male   14   W-Hampton, Stafford, England   Errand Boy     
 Thomas BOWRETT   Son      Male   9   W-Hampton, Stafford, England   Scholar     


44 York St
Wolverhampton, Stafford, England
RG11/2804 Folio 91
 

Pauline


And today they added in 1871.

Wolverhampton, Staffordshire 
RG10/2939 Folio 158 

Alice J Bowpelt 10  Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England Daughter  Wolverhampton  Staffordshire   
Ann Bowpelt 38  Cookley, Worcestershire, England Wife  Wolverhampton  Staffordshire   
Charles Bowpelt 45  Ledbury, Herefordshire, England Head  Wolverhampton  Staffordshire   
Charles Bowpelt 4  Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England Son  Wolverhampton  Staffordshire   
Mary E Bowpelt 16  Ratshill, Worcestershire, England Daughter  Wolverhampton  Staffordshire   
Sara A Bowpelt 6  Aston, Warwickshire, England Daughter  Wolverhampton  Staffordshire   
Sarah C Bowpelt 12  Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England Daughter  Wolverhampton  Staffordshire   
William H Bowpelt 8  Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England Son  Wolverhampton  Staffordshire   

The father Charles' occupation looks to be Engine (Tenter)?. The Image is quite def. Bowkett.

How many extras are you on now?

Pauline

They were living in Wolverhampton at the time of the 1871 & 1881 census. although Charles was not listed in the 1881 and I have an index number for his death in 1873
