Stephen Attridge c.1822-1859 & Catherine 'Kitty' Warner c.1826 - Gt Canfield

[Emsworthy]

Hi all,

I am looking for more information on:

Stephen Attridge b.c. 1822 - d. 1859 in the district of Dunmow.

Catherine 'Kitty' Warner - b.c. 1826 Great Canfield (to John and Ann Warner).

There is a marriage for Kitty Warner to Stephen Attridge in Q Mar 1852, District: Dunmow, Vol 4a, Page 383.

The 1851 census is missing for Dunmow, which is less than helpful.  Can anyone find Catherine/Kitty on the census from 1861?  I've had a look at the GRO indexes and can't see any Attridge children born to mother Warner.

Any help is much appreciated. 

Many thanks,

Emma

They were married in Gt. Canfield February 14th, 1852. Stephens father was Charles, you can see him with his family in Dunmow  in 1841.

Thanks for your reply. Another piece of info I can add to them. It confirms, as you say, the earlier census.

Thanks again,

Emma

I am just wondering if this is her, remarried. Though I cant spot a marriage.

1861
Great Canfield
Isaac Rainbird 35 ag lab bn Hadfield Broad Oak
Kitty 34 wife bn  GreatCanfield
Eliza 12
Elizabeth 9
Mary A 5
Charles 4 mths   children all bn G Canfield

Both Isaac and Kitty die before 1871 census, how sad. Isaac in 1863 age 37 and Kitty in 1868 age 41.

Added: - not looking so good, as baby Charles birth reg shows mmn to be Smith, as does oldest child Eliza. 
And marriage of Isaac Rainbird and Catherine Smith was 1847 Dunmow Reg District.

Thank you both for your input. She really is very elusive. I can only imagine she too passed away or remarried. It's just finding her that seems to be the issue!

Nobody seems to have mentioned that Stephen is listed as being 22 years old on the marriage to Kitty, giving an approximate birth year of 1830.

Looking through the GRO death registrations I can only find one possible match, in 1888, age 58.

Looking through census' there does seem to be a matching Stephen in West Ham. He's the right age and gives his birth place as Dunmow, and later, Little Canfield*. On the 1861 and 1871 census he's listed as single but when he marries Susan Judd (nee Perrin) in 1879 he's listed as widowed.

There are a couple of newspaper records for this Stephen.

I think this is probably the same Stephen that married Kitty but what happened to Kitty is the question.

* Stephen's brother Charles married Rebecca Smith in 1858. He too lists his birth place as Great Dunmow in early census' but later changes it to Little Canfield.

Chelmsford Chronicle 07 March 1879
Robbing Of A Fellow Lodger
Mathew Lowe, 32, a labourer of 80 Victoria Dock-road, was charged with stealing a silver watch and a chain, on the 15th Feb, at 66 Roscoe-street, Canning-town, the property of Stephen Attridge. Prosecutor stated that the prisoner had been lodging with him for about two months, and on the 15th Feb. he left the house and did not return; on the same afternoon he missed his watch from where it had been hanging at the head of his bed, and upon subsequently meeting the prisoner at a public-house he asked him what he had done with it; prisoner then admitted that he had pawned it at Stratford but could not remember at what shop or in what name he had pawned it; he accordingly gave him into custody. Prisoner pleaded guilty to the charge and was sentenced to four months' hard labourer.


Essex Newsman 31 March 1888
Barking
Sudden Death
Stephen Attridge, aged 58, a labourer of Cook-street, Barking, died very suddenly on Tuesday. Upon returning home from work he ate a hearty tea, and while sitting by the fire smoking his pie he fell forward and died immediately. Mr S. Lee, surgeon, was called in, and his opinion that death is due to heart disease, the deceased having recently complained of pains in the chest.



PS: Emma, I fairly sure I have Warners in my own tree, from the same area of Essex, namely John Searl and Sarah Warner who married in Takeley in 1802. Although I haven't been able to pin down Sarah, in trying to do so I have accumulated quite a few records for Warners; if you'd like a copy just let me know.

Wow! Thank you for all of this! Will look through properly in the morning.

I too have more Warmers - Great Dunmow for the most part. Need to link the two together. Hopefully!

Thanks once again,

Emma
