Hi I have my Great grans Birth Certificate, and her dad reads John Thomas Gearing. This wasn't her dad, but her mum put him down as her dad. I know this is my Great Gran's birth, because all her mum's former names match on the birth certificate.
My Great Gran was born in 1874, and John died in 1870, so he wasn't her dad.
When Jessie Gearing married James Measures in 1896, John wasn't the name on the wedding certificate, Henry Gearing a Cabinet maker was?.
John Thomas Gearing had a bother Henry, and I can't find some info on him, can anyone on here find anything for 1871?.
Jessie's mum Ann Witton was a widow so she was Ann Ashley when she married John Thomas Gearing in 1856.
Ann was Ann Witton, her dad William Witton a tailor where I've asked on here before if anyone can find her or her dad, but no one can :(.

Where was Jessie Gearing on census in 1881/1891.
According to Jessie's sisters marriage John Thomas's occupation was a cabinet maker. It is possible that a father was just invented for Jessie's marriage, they often were :-\
-
I think it depends on what sister you pick, to what his occupation or what dads name it was.
On Ancestry message board there was a post looking for Mary Adelaide Gearing. B.1871 d 1854.
The lady put that it wasn't her birth, but Mary grow up thinking it was. On her wedding day she said her dad wasn't John wasn't her dad, but her birth certificate reads John. On her wedding, her dad was a Painter, and the lady wrote John's dad was a Printer, so where Painter was a error, and John was a Carpenter.
Emily her dad reads her husband fathers name, and on Sister Ann's her dad reads William Gearing not John or Henry.
John was a Carpenter, and Henry I think was a printer, but to rule him out i'm looking for the 1871 census to see where he was at this time?.

Where was Jessie Gearing on census in 1881/1891.
-
She wasn't born until 74
-
She wasn't born until 74
If she was born '74 she should be on census '81 & '91
I am only asking as I can't see her and I am a bit confused with your post (Sorry)
-
Please supply more details re Jessie's birth. Registration district, full name, year/quarter, GRO reference, all details on birth certificate.
And can you answer Rosie, i.e. where was Jessie in 1881 and 1891.

Address of both parties: 99 Lower Kennington Lane.
Her father: Henry Gearing, cabinet maker.

Jessie Measures was 25 b Holborn in 1901 (Deptford): RG13/525/173/34.
Also in the household was James' mother in law Annie Thackeray, wid, 64, retired laundress b Westminster.
-
she keeps knocking a year off her age. ;D
-
Free search of 1939 suggests a possible birthdate of 1875.
Death reg which would correspond: Jessie Measures aged 64, Dec qtr 1939 Medway.

Do you think this could be Jessie in 1891 347/12
James Thackeray 67 yrs
Ann Thackeray 50 yrs
Mary Thackeray 20 yrs
Jessica Thackeray 17 yrs paper sorter b Lambeth

Yes that looks promising.
The Ann Gearing marriage to James Thackerrey [sic] is Sep qtr 1877 Lambeth.

Ah OK (thanks Maureen) - so that has all been gone over before.
"Jessie" was born 18 Jan 1874 and registered as Mary Ann Gearing.
-
Thank you Maureen. All this confusion ::)
From that thread
Thank you all so much, I ordered the certificate and its Jessie.
Thank you everyone, and Thank you so much Annette. xxxxx
Regards Jenny xxxxx :D :D :D :D :D :D
So presumably Jessie is Mary Ann, is she?
Sorry for the repetition ::)

Sorry for the repetition ::)
It makes no sense to me, or at least it isn't clear! Is Summer Days suggesting the birth certificate says Jessie Gearing even though the index has Mary Ann? Or, is she saying she's decided it's the right certificate with first names Mary Ann, but Mary Ann then had a change of name to Jessie?
-
The latter, I think.
-
The latter, I think.
In that case it's very odd. Mary Ann/Jessie had a sister named Mary Adelaide, why would a mother give two daughters the given name Mary, then later change one to Jessie!!! Ah well, I'll not ponder over it for too long.
-
Reminds me of my search for g-grandmother "Florrie" - I hunted and hunted for a Florrie, Flora, Florence etc.
Then went to see my elderly great-aunt who said "Oh, of course she was officially Mary Ann because her father insisted on it, but always called Florrie because that was the name her mother wanted".
Of course :D
-
Hi I don't need Jessie, because I've found her. I'm now looking where was Henry in 1871 and Jessie wasn't born then.
Jenny
-
heywood Yes she is Mary Ann Thank you it took two years to find her, and you found her on here. I've kept her as Jessie on my tree, because that's who she married and died as, but I've add a note on her page with her certificate. This site found her, so I was hoping you'd find her Granddad William Witton William was a tailor. Jessie mum was Ann Witton, Ann'd dad was William.
Sorry I didn't know everyone was looking for Jessie on this feed. xx
Jenny
-
We do all kinds of searches to try to find geographical areas for people.
It is puzzling where Henry was in 1871- he seems to stay with his wife. Jessie may have invented her father and just used Henry’s name. :-\
-
heywood I think Jessie had her name changed, because the sister between her and the next Mary had died, so mum had two children called Mary, if not its where her mum couldn't write?.
in 1881 Jessie goes under her Step dads name of Thackerrey, with sister Mary.
My family sure did change there names to confuse me.
Its odd Henry's not around in 1871?
Thank you all for trying to find them all.
Jenny
-
I think this is Henry in 1871, his wife is using her first name Ann (her full name is Ann Frances)

What a great find :)

Hi libby9 I can't find it with what you've put above?
Where does Bloomsbury come from? Can you tell me what I need to input, and where I need to look to find it.
Thank you x
-
Where are you looking?
On Ancestry he is transcribed as Henry Gearney.
I can’t find him on Family Search though.

heywood Thank you everyone. xx
Thank you i've added the Henry census of 1871 to my tree.
Would anyone like to try and find Jessie's sister Mary Adelaide Gearing?. A lady on Ancestry that has now passed away was looking for Jessie's sister Mary. As you know Jessie is also Mary, but its best to keep her named as Jessie on here, with two children being called Mary. Mary was Mary Adelaide Gearing. Mary was Baptised on the 19 Jul 1868 at St Giles in the fields, Holborn it reads her birth was the 26 Jun 1868.
On the Ladies posted Mary grew up thinking her birth was the 26 July 1871, she'd found her baptism , but no birth records.
Can anyone find Mary Adelaide Gearing's Birth records that I can order? I'd like to order it, and add it to my tree for this lady that was looking for Mary, now that I've found Jessie.
As your see I think the family had a thing about 1871 above :) :) and you've got to agree I must have the hardest family to find :) :) :) :) little by little you're all helping to find my family. xxx
Thank you everyone. xx
-
Are you saying that Mary Adelaide survived childhood? Did she marry? Where do you have her in the censuses?
-
Yes I've found out
Mary Adelaide Gearing
was born on the 26 Jun 1868 the address they were living at was 2 Smarts Building, St Giles, Holborn, London, England
She died in Dec 1954 at 1, Brunswick Villas, Brunswick Square, Camberwell, London.
She was married to Thomas Joseph Dickeson on the 26 Dec 1894 and she died as Dickeson.
Mary Adelaide was born, then a child called Maria Charlotte that was born 1870-D 1872 then Jessie, so the one between died leaving two Mary's living?
There mum Ann Witton, Ashley, Gearing, Thackerrey who we can't find died giving Mary Dickesons address. Ann Thackerrey (Witton's) Death certificate reads she died on the 21/01/1905 at the Camberwell, workhouse Gordon, rd, London. She gave the address of living with daughter Mary Adelaide Dickeson (re Gearing) at 47 Calor street Camberwell, London. Ann look's like she was a laundress worker working all her life in the workhouse, if that's any help.
There is a census of Jessie in 1891 with Mary on it, but they were under stepdads name. look up Jessica Thackeray 1891 St George the Martyr, London, England.
Also look up Mary A Gearing 1871 mother Ellen Lynch. This is a census error, and Mary's mum Ann is a widow where John Thomas Gearing had died in 1870. there is another census where Ann's other children are living with John's dad William Whinrey Gearing.
Also on The Ladies post on Ancestry she also wrote that when Mary Adelaide was getting married she said her dad wasn't her real dad, but no one asked her about it.
-
Hi yes I had found a lot of this already, I realised afterwards.
We found them under stepdad’s name and the marriage of Ann and James earlier.
-
heywood My tree sure isn't easy :) :) :) but i've found out so much with this sites in helping to find them.
Along the way I've also found a family member that had photos of Jessie and her husband, and what I think is there wedding, I can't name them on the photo, but going by age I think one is Ann Witton and James Thackerrey. Its been good looking for them all.
-
Hi On Henry census 1871 can anyone read where they lived? I can't read what its saying.
-
I think it is Kingsgate Street
http://www.ucl.ac.uk/bloomsbury-project/streets/kingsgate_street.htm
-
Thank you
-
In 1841 there is a William Witton 35yrs, with wife Rebecca 35yrs both born Middlesex, living Raven St, Whitechapel. The image isn't too clear and occupation of William not easy to read, however it is slightly easier on FindMyPast than Ancestry and looks like tailor (especially when compared with others on the page who are tailors. The couple don't have any children with them. I've not looked for them yet on later census.
HO107; 716/1/8/9.
Ancestry has indexed the surname WELTER, FindMyPast WITTON
-
The 1841 couple are unlikely to be yours as William is still around in 1851 with Rebecca (no children)
HO107; PN1547; F 402; P 48
William WETTON, 48, tailor, St George, Middlesex; Rebecca WETTON, 48, Rotherhithe, Surrey
-
libby9 Thank you for looking for him.
I don't know if its any help, but on ancestry others marry a James Mackbright b 1765 d 1816 to a Catherine ''Kitty'' Truelove from Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire, England B 1767 D 1855 then she married a William Witton b 1767 d 1841
I thought was this William, but the dates don't add up if this was his birth year.
In playing about with my tree and wondered if Kitty aka Catherine b 1767 d 1855 married James Mackbright and they had two children called Ann :) :) yes two the same?.
I found a Ann baptised on the 10 Dec 1803 at The Great Meeting Independent,Newport Pagnell,Buckingham.
I also found a Ann Baptised on the 25 June 1811 at the same place of The Great Meeting Independent,Newport Pagnell,Buckingham.
did they have two children, and one then one became known as Catherine that married William Witton?
look at the census 1851 of Ann Wittin's sister Sarah Purdy b 1828 married to Robert Purdy her mum reads Catherine under a name of hope, and comes from Pagnell
Was the children Ann witton and Charles William?
I feel that Pagnell might play a part in this, but it still doesn't help find William Witton.
all shots in the dark.
sorry if i've confused you.
-
look at the census 1851 of Ann Wittin's sister Sarah Purdy b 1828 married to Robert Purdy
Sorry, but I don't understand the above, how do you know Sarah Purdy is Ann Wittin's sister?
-
That got my thinking.
The wedding of Ann Witton to Charles Ashley in 1853
I wrote this on my notes of her first wedding. It reads Annie Married at the age of 19. Charles Ashley is 21. Ann Witton's Sister Sarah ''Purdy'' (Re Witton) was a Wittiness on Ann and Charles Ashley wedding certificate in 1853. Anns dad reads William Witton is a Tailor. 20 Hollen St, Soho,Westminster
Then you have Sarah, Mary and Charles William all lived at Church street on there weddings, and the name Purdy signs a lot of the certificate as if William Witton isn't around. I thought it all linked to her being there sister, and Ann and William are on the census as well.
the wedding of Ann Ashley to John Thomas Gearing in 1856
Ann's dad reads William Witton a tailor in 1856. It reads Anns dad William Witton is deceased on wedding certificate. The name Mary ''Purdy'' is a witness to the marriage of John Thomas Gearing (Bachelor) wedding to Ann Ashley Widow(re Witton).
-
On sarah Witton's marriage certificate her father is named Charles William Witton a tailor. If Sarah and Ann are sisters, then perhaps their father's first name is Charles, not William,
-
For reference
1851, St John Westminster, HO107; Piece: 1479; Folio: 20; Page: 32
Robert Purdy 22
Sarah Purdy 24, St John, Westminster
Robert Purdy 3
Catherine Hope 51, mother in law, widow, Newport Pagnell
William Hope 17, brother in law, St John, Westminster
Anne Hope 15, sister in law, St John, Westminster
Robert Purdy (indexed Pardy) Sarah Witton (father charles William Witton a tailor)
12 Jan 1846, St John the Evangelist, Lambeth
Charles Ashley, Ann Witton 19yrs (father William Witton a tailor) witnesses Sarah Purdy and R Purdy. Oct 10, 1853, St Anne, Soho
John Thompson, Mary Witton (father William Witton, deceased a tailor), A witness was Robert Purdy. 10 Sep 1849, St Mary, Lambeth
So, if Catherine Hope is the mother of Sarah, William and Ann, we need to find her marriage to a Mr Hope. And if Ann's father is Witton, then Catherine must have married Mr Hope after 1835/6 approx birth year of Ann. Sarah's marriage certificate doesn't state father deceased, but that doesn't mean a lot as often when father's are deceased it's not entered.
-
There is this in 1841 738/35/20
Smiths Rents, Westminster
Catherine Hope 40 yrs Washer (or Worker ???) not born in county
Wm Hope 9 yrs born in county
Over the page
Maria Bootsy 20 yrs not born in county (I think that is what it says)
No Ann :-\

heywood where were they born out of interest ?
My Aunt once said to me when I was about 14 we were Spanish Gypsy's, then one day I said it back to her, and she snapped saying no we wasn't Gypsy's.
Then they said we were Irish, but other then Gearing's marrying someone I've found no Irish.
Someone asked in the family once was we Travelers, but the only thing I can think of is they traveled from London to Kent for work, and maybe they felt like travelers. The Measures only lived around Southwick ?. Maybe where James Measures married Jessie Gearing and her mum being Ann Witton maybe the Witton's were ?
We're white, but if you look at my Gran and her sister measures photos there is something about them that makes me think there could be something in there blood?, maybe i'm wrong, and it was just the times they were living. We all used to tan well in the sun, and when my dad was born his hair was so black they nicknamed him Rook after a Rook bird, and where they did all tan well, so maybe that's why they said its the Spanish in us?. Why didn't they talk about things back then. That's why when you hit onto Charles William Witton B abt 1826 (maybe Ann Witton's brother) married in bycullah, Bombay, Maharashtra, India it made me wonder does there dad William Witton have Indian links?.On google there is a story of a David William Witton 1788-1856 being a merchant could he be linked?
All just thoughts.
I don't know where you all find this information, I only have UK subs, but its not because I don't want to pay, its because just looking on Ireland site i'm lost, so I wouldn't have a clue on worldwide, but I'll order anything anyone finds in the hope of finding them.
If that hope Census isn't Sarah's mum, maybe William Witton was old and there could be something in the wedding to Catherine Mackbright in 1816 at Newport-Pagnell, Buckingham ?.
that's why I kept the Hope census,because of the Newport link.
I built up in my head that William must have died young, and gran from Newport looked after Ann and William, but maybe she didn't?
If you want I can put on here all the things I've saved on William Wittons wall, they may have nothing to do with him, but you might see something I can't, because I haven't got clue :) :) :) but I've saved things just in case.
Also on my tree I have a Vera M Purdy married a Geoffrey Witton in 1922, I was going to order this wedding to see if I can find her Vera Purdy family, to see if she joins my Purdy family, before I order the certificate can anyone find her birth? I couldn't. Vera married the David William Witton's family the merchant. I hooked my William onto David William thinking he is part of my family.
If I can hook vera purdy's side onto my Purdy tree, I can then cut my William from the David William tree, but with them still being linked.
I don't want to cut all the Wittons off in case they end up being part of my William's family.
Hope you understand what i'm on about?
-
1841 just shows whether people were born in or out of county.
You mention Charles William Witton - I don’t know about India or have not noted it, sorry.
19th June 1860
Charles William Witton widower to Susan Norman -Father William, Tailor
5th June 1870

Hi Heywood,
The Indian connection was in this chat http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=791827.0
Looking at the thread on the above link I see Ann Gearing's mother is with Ann in 1861 and is entered as Kate Witton, widow. Why was she HOPE in 1851 and then Witton in 1861!!!!
-
I have lots of pieces of a puzzle, some may fit, and others are not mine.
This is why I need all your help in solving it :) :) :) I've tried and I can't work it out :(
When Sarah Witton married in 1846 to Robert Purdy B 1824 she lived at Church Street. Dad William Witton is a Tailor it doesn't read he'd died? and his name was Charles William Witton on the certificate? Was he Charles William known as William? or was this a error, or was this Sarah's brothers name?
M Purdy was a wittiness, I can't read the other name?.
Roberts mum was Maria Hingley married in 1823 to Robert Purdy. Was she the M Purdy that signed?
When Mary Witton married in 1849 to John Thompson she lives at Church Street. Dad William Witton is a tailor it reads he'd died. A wittiness was Robert Purdy.
Ann Witton married Charles Ashley in 1853 Dad William was a Tailor it doesn't read he'd died?
The wittiness reads R Purdy and the cross of Sarah Purdy, Sarah would be Ann's sister.
When Charles William married in 1860 to Susan Norman he lived at Church Street. Dad William Witton a Tailor doesn't show his dad had died, but he had in 1849 on sister Mary's wedding.
the Wittiness were R Purdy and the X of Mary Purdy his sister now married?.
All three sisters look like they couldn't write, but brother Charles could write.
All these links are why I think Ann is there sister.
Dad William doesn't sign any of these certificates,as if he wasn't around, or had died?
On the David William Witton Merchant story on google to reads he lived at Church Street was this the same Church street? or any link?.
-
I haven’t found David William Witton the merchant living in Church street at all.
His business was in Fenchurch Street.
In the 1830s at baptism of children he’s in Crosby Place
In 1843 Highbury place
1845 Claremont terrace
In 1851 he’s in Jamaica Place
Then he moves out to Richmond, Surrey
None of these are Church Street
The will of Joseph his father is online. No indication that there is any connection with your Witton.
-
I've never sure if i can add a link on here or not.
Look on google
David William Witton 1788-1856 sue young Histories
Her post reads Church Street
-
That address is Edmonton though not Lambeth.
-
I've never sure if i can add a link on here or not.
Look on google
David William Witton 1788-1856 sue young Histories
Her post reads Church Street
David William Witton lived at Church St Edmonton, your Witton's lived Church St Lambeth which is the other side of the river and nowhere near Edmonton.
-
ok thank you for that, I didn't know they were different places.
I've ordered the wedding certificate of Vera M Purdy to Geoffrey Witton in 1922.
Geoffery follows up the line of David William, so i'm hoping that Vera might link to the Purdy's on my tree?, Then I can cut my William off David Williams family.
I can't find a Vera M Purdy birth, so I'm hoping to find something on the wedding certificate.
-
Here is a possibility for Vera - living in Wandsworth which is the right area
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XW5R-RDG
Vera M Purdy b 1902 Fulham
Possible Marriage for parents
George Charles Purdy and Maud Corbett are on the same page

Perhaps in 1901 George and Maud Purdy

wow thank you, I don't know where you all find these.
I've got the certificate ordered, but i've got the above to be working on, to see if they join up.
Thank you all for your help in trying to find my family xxx

Hi can anyone find anything on a Robert David Purdy he married a Maria Hingley (Spelt Kingley as well) in 1823
They had a child called Robert Purdy B 1824 that married Sarah Witton in 1846.
Robert B 1824 also married Eliza Newberry in 1865.
Dad Robert David on the son Roberts wedding to Sarah reads Dad Robert David Purdy is a Smith (Blacksmith?)
I'd like to see if anyone can find Robert David Purdy parents, and if Robert B 1824 had any brothers or sisters.
I've only got Robert as there child.
Thank you
