Cornwall Lookup Requests / 1871 lookup please - John & Fanny MORSHEAD
« on: Sunday 28 April 24 12:46 BST (UK)  »
Hi

Can anybody help here please?
I am tracing the line of John Morshead (1866-1934), grocer in Bassingham, Lincolnshire.
I have found him in the 1921, 1911, 1901, 1891, and 1881, but I cannot find him in 1871.

I believe that his parents were John Morshead and Fanny Rablin/Rabblin/Rabling who were married in Redruth, Cornwall, in Sep Q 1848.
John Jnr. was baptised in Redruth in the Jun Q of 1866 (vol 5c, page 310)

In 1871 he must be 5 years old, his mother will be 43 (she was baptised in Camborne, 18 Aug 1827).
I have no idea whether or not his father is still alive at this point as I know that by 1881 Fanny is widowed.
There will almost certainly be an older brother to John Jnr. living with them, Richard, who was born c1860.

If anybody could please fill in the details for 1871 and the father's death I would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance! ;)

Lincolnshire / Re: Boothby Graffoe in the 1911 census

I have just checked the 1921 census which come up with 20 people: Calvert, Dudding, Johnson, Hackney, Harness and Ghirfield (Whitfield).

Thank you so very much, David.
I hadn't got around to checking the 1921 so you have pre-empted me. ;)

On Ancestry, if you search on the surname 'Espin' in the location of 'Coleby Boothby Graffoe,' you will find one of the families.

You can see the others by going backwards or forwards through the images.

David
Marvellous!
Thank you.

(I almost bought a house in Coleby five years ago!)

I get 23 hits of persons residing in 1911 at Somerton Castle on FindMyPast and only 6 hits on Anc*. What name are you looking for.

It comes up in searches on Ancestry and Family Search for me.
I haven’t investigated for Somerton Castle though.
Thanks for this reply.
Maybe I'm just not doing it properly?

As for names, that's my problem - I have no idea!
That's what I'm trying to discover...
I have found Somerton Castle in all other censuses - and the 1939 Register - but just not this one.

I am busy building a webpage about the place, listing the residents, but this is a gap for me.

I'll look again.

Cheers!  ;)

Lincolnshire / Boothby Graffoe in the 1911 census

Hi

Can someone please point me in the direction of Boothby Graffoe in the 1911 census?
I am trying to find out who was at Somerton Castle in this census, but I can't seem to pin it down.
I have Ancestry but Boothby Graffoe simply doesn't come up as an option for this particular census.

Thanks in advance.  ;)

Yes, I've managed to nail the baptisms of Leadley G and Mary's offspring; it's just his that currently eludes me.
Thanks for checking and pointing out the info about some details being recorded on loose paper.

Yorkshire (North Riding) Lookup Requests / Leadley Green Pashby baptism, please
« on: Thursday 18 May 23 12:15 BST (UK)  »
Hi

Does anyone have access to parish registers?
I have a baptism to find...
Leadley Green Pashby was born in Levisham, North Yorkshire in 1858, son of Leadley Pashby and wife Mary Ann (nee Dixon) and was baptised in the December Quarter of that year.
Many of the pages of the Parish Register are on A£ but I can't find the specific date for this.

Can anybody please oblige?
Thanks in advance for any help you might offer.

Mea culpa.
Sorry.

Probably explains why I hadn't asked before.
