Hello all, this is really puzzling me. I think I have the right people but not 100%
Please bare with its a long one, but want to get as many facts in a possible.
I'm trying to find my 3rd great grandmother's parents and that the 1841 census I have is actually her.
I'm going to start with what I know, family was not close, so just going on records.
Mother was born June Mason 1937 in Mansfield Nottinghamshire.
Her parents were
John Jack Mason born 1905 Oldham to James Mason and Mary Kennedy (Will come back to these as its this line I am tracing)
John Jack married Florence Bettison in 1930 Mansfield.
I don't have a death for John Jack or his father James.
But Mary Kennedy died 16 JUL 1934 in Mansfield.
It is her line I am looking forward..
So I have Mary Kennedy born 05 NOV 1877 Oldham
To a Mary Gillespie Born 08 JAN 1847 Pallyards, Cumberland
and Mary Gillespie dying Mary Kennedy 1 OCT 1899 in Oldham.
Mary Gillespie married John Kennedy 13 Dec 1875 in Oldham.
John Kennedy died 01 MAY 1930 in Oldham.
So back to who I am really looking for, Mary Gillspie family..
Mary was born to I believe John Gillespie born 6 JUL 1810 Pallyards, Stapleton, Cumberland to a Richard and a Mary I believe (but not chasing them yet either)
And Elizabeth Linton (this is who I am after) Elizabeth born 10 Feb 1826 in Scotland.. On ancestry is says father John Linton and mother Nancy Tidman.
Elizabeth Linton I have marrying John Gillespie on 17 Dec 1846 Stapleton, Cumberland, England. (This is not far from Scotland boarders, who where I believe she was in the 1841 census)
So this is where it ha got tricky, if I am right on all above.. The only Elizabeth Linton born between 1800 and 1835 with father being a John and mother a Nancy was born 10/02/1826..
But I can not find a marriage with a John Linton or a Nancy or anyone with the surname Tidman.
The 1841 census I have has below
John Linton 50
John Linton 21
James Linton 15
George Linton 10
Jane Linton 40
Elizabeth Linton 17
Frances Linton 12
Jane Linton 10
Janet Linton 2
Mary Bell 35
Margaret Rome 20
John Johnston 55
John Robinson 25
It has a Elizabeth born in 1824, but there is only only Elizabeth Linton I can find born to a John within a 30 year span. And no other Elizabeth Linton's are born within a 2 year span either side of 1824 with any father name. their all 1829 or higher.
I am including a snippet of the birth I have for Elizabeth...
Hoping someone can confirm if the 1841 census I have is my Elizabeth and who her mother was and where the marriage is, if any.
Thanks for bearing with.
