John Coates - 1851 census please

[*Sandra*]

You're very welcome.  Have you traced the remainder of the family

John was a Master Mariner they could have been at sea. It was not unusual for the wife to go to sea with the husband.

Hi Sandra

No I haven't traced any others.  My line runs from John Coates born 1825 in Beverley to John & Mary.
The problem is there are two marriages around that time for John Coates & Mary - one in Hull in 1820 and one in Beverley in 1824.  I was hoping that finding them in 1851 may give clues.

Thanks for the interest

Given that Mary is fairly consistant that she comes from Lockington which is only about 6 miles from Beverley, it could be the Beverley marriage.

Hang on the 1851 I posted has Mary's age wrong - she should be older than 31 years 
Would like to make it 51 but it defo looks like a 3 on the image    The place name Lockington is the same as on the 1861 though - wonder if this is the correct family and an error on Mary's age

I had originally discarded that 1851 census because of the wrong age, but in the light of nothing better, it looks most likely, and an error on the part of the enumerator.

You didn't mention John in the list of children in the original post but I can see there is a christening record for him at St John & St Martin Beverley 17 April 1825

Started looking for other children because your list started in 1831 which left a gap of 6 years between John and the birth of Jane.

Other were -
Mary Coates  - 22 April 1821 St John & St Martin -  Beverley - parents John and Mary
If Mary was one of there children it would perhaps point to the 1820 marriage

Thomas Coates - 10 April 1829 St John & St Martin - Beverley -  parents John and Mary

Do you think William Christopher Coates (26 December 1922 St Mary & St Nicholas at Beverley) may also have been a child of your John and Mary  He could be the odd one out - others were baptised at St John & St Martin, same as John Coates. Parents John and Mary.

Perhaps they had moved to Kingston Upon Hull by the time Jane was born - there is a baptism 25 May 1831 St Mary Kingston Upon Hull

The later children Richard - 10 June 1838 and George Coates at - 15 October 1840 were both at Drypool York.

Still puzzling

Drypool York.

Drypool is Hull isn't it rather than York?

I'm just wondering why if they both came from Beverley or near there, and their older children were born there, why they would marry in Hull? You need to get one of the children's birth certificates to find Mary's maiden name.

Its a strange mix groom - isn't it - that's why I tried to go through the children's baptisms.
