Good morning,
I would be grateful if anyone could find the following household in the 1871 Census please:
William PECK - not sure of his dob (at a guess c1840) nor place
Mary (wife) (née HOLMES ?)
Christiana (daughter) born Sturton Stowe 1863, and would therefore have been about 8 years old.
There are probably other children but I have no names.
Christiana appears in the 1881 Census at the age of 18 as a General Servant in the household of Joseph & Mary WARD at Alger Kirk & Amber Hill.
I realise that it's not a lot to go on, but if anyone can help or see a clue..................!!
Many thanks,
Nick

Good afternoon Sue,
yes, I think you've knobbled the right ones ! The Kirton Lindsey births tie up, and Christiana's age does too. Thank you kindly, you've unlocked a door for me !
Would it be too much to ask you to look and see if William & Mary could be found in 1861 please ? Son Thomas would have been 1 or 2 years old, and maybe Rebecca an infant. That will help situate the probable date of marriage.
You've been a great help ! Thank you.

Christiana appears in the 1881 Census at the age of 18 as a General Servant in the household of Joseph & Mary WARD at Alger Kirk & Amber Hill.
What the census image actually says - the place - Algarkirk Fen now Amber Hill.
Please be aware that there are two Kirtons in Lincs (both known as Kirton on censuses)
1) Kirton in Lindsey - where your lot were - 6 miles south of Scunthorpe;
2) Kirton in Holland - coincidentally, only a couple of miles from Algarkirk - 3 miles south of Boston.
They are about 55 miles apart by road.

Can't pin them down in 1841 but this is 1871 RG10; Piece: 3366; Folio: 80; Page: 35 - Branston
In 1871 Rebecca Holmes is living alone in Branston, she is a widow aged 67 and a pauper.
She died -
Jul-Aug-Sep 1873 Keighley (1837-1946) Yorkshire - West Riding Vol: 9a Page: 114
Age at Death: 70

That seems odd - she was buried at Branston 15 Feb 1886 aged 86. Francis was buried 11 Sept 1860 (69).
1881
Church St, Branston
Rebecca HOLMES (wid) 79 Bardney

I've just seen that one too Geoff, I've jumped to rthe wrong conclusion, sorry.
Check this marriage on www.familysearch.org.
Francis Holmes and Rebecca Richardson 27/10/1821 in Bardney, Lincs.

Never mind, it seemed a bit rash to me to go nearly 100 miles just because the name fitted. ;)
-
There are possible birth's for both Francis and Rebecca that might be of interest on www.familysearch.org
You can also see Rebecca alone aged 79 in the 1881 census on this site.

Laurina, Geoff,

Your input greatly appreciated. Thank you both.
