Worcestershire Lookup Requests / Re: worcestershire lookup MOBBERLEY
« on: Sunday 19 May 24 12:00 BST (UK) »
Hi again,
I've just caught up on the last couple of messages. There has been some great research, the Mobberleys are definitely a difficult family to research.
Just based on the marriage certificate I have, I am still of the opinion that my Joseph Mobberley's, b1806-1816 (it varies), father was Joseph Mobberley b1790 to Edward and Elizabeth Holloway. Of course I have no way of actually verifying this until I find Josephs birth records, which I think sadly I'll never find, unless of course his name was different when baptised. But I can find no records of Joseph Mobberley b1790 either except his baptism.
I'd be so grateful if anyone could give me their opinion on this other conundrum;
Joseph Mobberley b1806-1816 had a daughter named Mary, who I am a direct descendant of. She was born 1857 +/- 3 years in Kidderminster (according to later census records). But I can find absolutely no birth records for her at all, I've searched through whole parish registers and Bishops Transcripts in all Worcestershire areas connected with the family. Similarly through whole census records of areas connected but nothing.
Their first son Joseph was born in 1847 in Doldy, Worcester.
I have found a daughter Lucy Mawberley also born Doldy 1861 to Joseph and Mary. Joseph has the same occupation, which seems a likely match. But again absolutely nothing for a Lucy Mawberley (and all name variations) after this baptism record. No death or census records either.
Is it possible that Lucy is Mary? Could they have changed her name after baptism? D?o you think this is possible
5 years later they had another daughter called Lucy who died.
I can't find any census records for my Mobberley line pre 1871 except for the 1841, if that is my Joseph living with John and Elizabeth Mash/Marsh.
There are a few criminal records of Joseph being charged with vagrancy but somewhere in between 1841 and their first child Joseph born in Doldy, Worcester, Joseph met Mary Green.
Many thanks

Darn it I was hoping it was that Joseph as it would have also confirmed the Irish Great Grandmother that my Great Gran mentioned! I guess I'll be taking this mystery to my grave
