Hi Jan

Yes thank you, I think that is him, his name was Richard Chapman Osbourne...I am not sure if these surnames used as middle names help or just confuse me.

Richard C Osbourne, married Emily Maxey Smith  so I wonder if Elizabeth Smith  'boarder' is also a relation
Title: Re: 1891 census look up please
Post by: groom on Sunday 01 May 11 20:27 BST (UK)
I wondered that. Was Emily Maxey Smith, Thomas's daughter, or was she born before her mother married Thomas otherwise wouldn't she be called Ellen Maxey? I wonder if Elizabeth Smith is Ellen's mother?
Title: Re: 1891 census look up please
Post by: iluleah on Sunday 01 May 11 20:38 BST (UK)
Just having a look I have Elizabeth Maxey married 1855 Louth to Robert Smith ( who would be Elizabeth Smith boarder) and two children Emily Maxey Smith and  John Maxey Smith ( although my guess is that there are more to find) but there are 10 years between these two children  John b 1857 and Emily b 1867.......so it just doesn't feel right if you know what I mean............


Like I said all these surnames as middle name completely confuse me

Post by: iluleah on Sunday 01 May 11 20:51 BST (UK)
I am really not sure how Thomas and Ellen Maxey fit in...Elizabeths maiden name is Maxey and I think the enumerator wrote grandson for Maxey Osbourne under Elizabeth ( rather than relationship to Head)......sorry I am trying to think this through as I am writing...so it may not make sense

Thomas Maxey  head unmarried  37   Carpenter

And even more puzzling

RG10; Piece: 3403; Folio: 5; Page: 6  Louth

Elizabeth Smith  60  Parish relief and laundress
Thomas Maxey  24  Nephew   joiner
Emily Smith  5 grand daughter

So were Thomas and Ellen cousins?

So these two got married
Title: Re: 1891 census look up please
Post by: groom on Sunday 01 May 11 21:20 BST (UK)
I'm not sure about actually marrying as there are no Thomas Maxey marriages between 1881 and 1891, so perhaps she just took his name.

This might be a connection

1851 HO107; Piece: 2111; Folio: 320; Page: 28

Thomas Maxey  head widow 41  Master joiner
William Maxey son  14
THOMAS  MAXEY son 7

Post by: iluleah on Sunday 01 May 11 21:30 BST (UK)
Yes I think you are right as I can't find a marriage either...so 7 year old Thomas is Elizabeth Smith nee Maxey nephew...which matches the later census...........wow there are lots of visiting going on in this family at census times
Title: Re: 1891 census look up please
Post by: groom on Sunday 01 May 11 21:45 BST (UK)
I wonder who Fred Maxley's mother is as in 1881 Thomas says he is unmarried, but Fred is his son.

There is the birth of a Fred Maxey Smith Dec quarter 1873 Louth 7a 591, so it looks as if his mother was Ellen Smith. Interesting family this one.  ;D ;D ;D
Title: Re: 1891 census look up please
Post by: iluleah on Sunday 01 May 11 21:56 BST (UK)
You are not kidding ;D

It is my grandfathers elder sister husband, I knew all my great aunts and uncles except this one so started researching as Maxey Osbourne's daughter( who I remember visiting) went to live in Northern Ireland........and I researched the line back and I have crossed the Atlantic going back several times back and forth, then decided to come back to Maxey and now all this...it makes my direct line look tame ;D

That's often the way isn't it, it is the side shoots that are more interesting.

Post by: groom on Sunday 01 May 11 22:23 BST (UK)
I dont think Ellen Smith was Thomas Maxey's cousin after all as she wasn't Elizabeth Smith's daughter - she was her step daughter.

Elizabeth Maxey married Robert Smith in 1855.

In the 1861 census RG 9/2381/107/19

Robert Smith  57
Elizabeth Smith 49
Benjamin Smith son 14
Robert Smith son 10
John Smith son 4
Ellen Smith daughter 18

So the only one of these children who were Elizabeths and Roberts was John, the rest were step children.

Oh thank you and well done you..

Emily Maxey Smith was born in 1867, Elizabeth would have been 55 years old.....surely she would be too old ???
Title: Re: 1891 census look up please
Post by: iluleah on Sunday 01 May 11 22:56 BST (UK)
Maybe Emily Eve was the first wife of Robert Smith who married in 1844 Louth
Title: Re: 1891 census look up please
Post by: groom on Sunday 01 May 11 22:57 BST (UK)
I think Emily Maxey Smith is Ellen Smith and Thomas Maxey's daughter.She was staying with her step grandmother Elizabeth Smith, who was also Thomas Maxey's aunt in 1871.  ;D ;D ;D

Hi Geoff

Complicated family this do you think I've got it sorted?

Hi Jan

First of all thank you very much for all the work you have already done. After a nights sleep and drawing out the relationships it is a little clearer.... well lets just say not as confusing ::)

I have found that Robert Smiths father was Benjamin Smith ( marriage of Robert & Elizabeth Maxey)  but the possibly first marriage I found for Robert Smith/ Emily Eve he names his father as John, so I don't think it is him.

Hi again

Found Robert in 1851  - he was married to Frances, so she is Ellen's mother

HO 107/2111/288/7  Broad bank, Louth

Robert Smith 47  Joiner     Balderton Notts
Frances Smith 37              Tathwell Lincs
Ellen Smith 7                     Tathwell
Benjamin Smith 3              Louth
Mary Smith 13  niece         Newark Notts

There are, according to Freebmd 4 deaths of a Frances Smith in Louth between 1851 and 1855 (when Robert remarried) Two in 1851, one in 1853 and on in 1855. The last is unlikely. I'd hedge a bet on it being one of the 1852 ones, possibly after the birth of Robert who was 10 in 1861.

This looks like the marriage

Robert Smith
Frances Codd

Dec quarter 1842
Louth 14  809
Title: Re: 1891 census look up please
Post by: iluleah on Monday 02 May 11 14:22 BST (UK)
Thats interesting I had search freebmd and had come to the same conclusion 'Frances Codd' ...it is also very interesting that Robert came from near Newark then decendants moved to the Linclonshire coast then five generations later back to the Newark area, where my great aunt was living.....then another two generations  to NI and although they are not living on the coast, they did live down the road to Lough Neagh ( which is very seasidy) ...........these migrating patterns fasinate me as much as the FH

There is a marriage
14-May 1838 Utterby Lincs( about 7 miles from Tathwell)  John Robinson married Frances Codd father Richard Codd   so I wonder if she was previously married ??? There is a John Robinson's who died in Louth 1Q 1842 but none I can find prior to that

I would imagine that her next marriage would have been as ROBINSON, not CODD, so I would discount her.  In any case, that couple were still in Utterby in 1851.

Hi Geoff

Thanks for that piece of investigation, I'm not sure  re: name married or maiden so the only other Frances I have found is Frances Bradshaw marrying in  3Q 1840  Louth 14 667

1853 was at Tathwell aged 34.  Incidentally, Frances's age was given as 33 in 1851 (not 37).
