Lincolnshire / Alice MANTELEY b abt 1786 m John WILLMORE 11 Apr 1811
« on: Tuesday 18 March 08 09:27 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I am looking for anything to do with Alice MANTELEY or her family.  I have googled the surname and it appears to be Brazilian or something.  Does anyone know how a Brazilian name would get to Lincolnshire? ???

Alice (according to all the censii) was born in Winterton.  Alice and John were married in Grasby, Caistor (batch M028633 ), where they lived all their married life.  John was born in Searby Cum Owmby.

If anyone has access to this marriage record, I would be grateful for a lookup to see if any parents are recorded (though in 1811 I'm not too hopeful).

Thanks in advance

Lincolnshire / A Land Owner or A Farm Worker?
« on: Monday 08 October 07 11:03 BST (UK)  »
I have a Joseph TUPHOLME married to Hannah SMITH 29 Jan 1835.
 
In the 1851 and 1861 census he is recorded as being 'A Farmer of 30 Acres' at SeasEnd Road in Surfleet, where he lived with his family.
 
In 1871, his wife Hannah is recorded as still living in Surfleet with her daughter Ann Maria HARGRAVE (but no road shown) and is described as a 'pauper', as is her daughter.
 
If the occupation was shown as a farmer of 30 acres, does that mean he owned the farm or just worked on it?  In both census the family had a servant so I have to say I assumed that they owned it.
 
However, if they owned it, how did Hannah become a pauper the very year that her husband died?  Presumably if they owned the farm she wouldn't have needed to go on Parish Relief.   ???
 
Any input would be greatfully received.

Cheers
