Brickwall - Isabella J Maile, Biggleswade
« on: Monday 27 February 17 15:52 GMT (UK) »
Hello,

I've hit a stubborn brickwall that I can't break through.

Isabella Janet Maile married Charles Plant 06/09/1892 at Biggleswade. Marriage record puts her date of birth as 1871 and father's name as Frank Maile.

I have not be able to find Isabella in any of the census records.

Charles Plant died of TB in 1893 and their baby daughter died in 1894.

I found this death record of Frank Maile;

Surname    First name(s)    Age    District    Vol    Page
Deaths Mar 1894   (>99%)
Maile    Frank    53    Biggleswade    3b   263

I purchased the death cert and it says that he was a pensioner who died at Biggleswade. Informant was the certificate received from Mark Whyley, Coroner for the County of Bedford following inquest.

I would like to know more about Isabella J Maile's background, where she came from and family details but also what happened to her after her husband died. Did she remarry and where did she die? It seems to me she has promptly vanished - abducted by aliens perhaps.

Regards,

jcope.

Hi,

Who were the witnesses on the marriage cert as sometimes they can hold a clue to the identity of the person you are researching? Also what was the occupation of Frank Maile?

I don't have the actual marriage cert yet. I guess that is my next step. I think it must have taken place in a register office or something because there is nothing in the local papers about it.

Here we go :

Jane Male , mmn Riseley , 1869 M Quarter Woolwich 01D 887

Frank Maile 31 ( father Thomas ) and Susan Risley ( father James ) married 15 Aug 1869 Chatham

Thank you Christine53, I see you have come up with a couple of leads. I seem to recall going down this route before. I think because I couldn't find a Susan Maile (Riley) in any census records that I abandoned it.
