Yorkshire (North Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: Ann Wade - 1841 Census
« on: Thursday 07 June 07 14:18 BST (UK)  »
Hi Pels

Thanks for the information - it probably is her given the relatively short distance from Barton. It's a shame the 1841 census didn't include a bit more data - such as place of birth or occupation - but we can only work with what we are given - it's better than nothing.

Once again many thanks

Yorkshire (North Riding) Lookup Requests / Ann Wade - 1841 Census
« on: Wednesday 06 June 07 13:48 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I'm hoping someone with a little bit of knowledge of the are my be able to help me identify the correct Ann Wade in the 1841 census.

Here's what I know about her:

She was born circa 1828 in Barton;
her father's name was James;
she married Christopher Smith in Middleton Tyas in 1850.

I've found a James Wade living in Barton in 1841 with his wife and a couple of kids but not Ann.

There's a number of possibilities in the census but I don't know the geography that well so maybe someone out there can steer me in the right direction.

Hi

Thanks Tink - I'll give your suggestion a try.

Christine I've considered the one from Arksey but, unfortunately, she appears not to be the right one.

I've found one born in 1842 in Bramley in the 1851 census to a Charles & a Charlotte and am currently trying to get more information on her in other census records [with little luck].

Hi again Wendy

Unfortunately the first wife [Susan] died in 1888 - they had a son Charles A Tait who I've found in both the 1891 census living at Thornaby - but William wasn't with him that night and in the 1901 Census his second wife is home alone with the kids including Charles.

Hi Wendy

It's amazing what anither pair of eyes can do. Many thanks for that. Following up from your info I think I've found the family in the 1861 census under the surname of Sait.

Eureka! I love it when the walls come tumbling down. Once again thanks.

Hi

Okay once again I've done the right thing; I've obtained the marriage certificates for both of my great grandfather's marriages.

William Tait married Susan Green at the Register Office in Guisbrough on the 17th February 1885 [he was 25 years old at the time, a bachelor who was employed as a groom]. His father is identified as Adam Tait, a paper cutter].

William, now a 36 year old widower, married Emma Elizabeth Harrison [my great grandmother] on the 2nd of March 1896 at the Register Office in Stockton. By this time he was a labourer at an engine works. His father is now deceased and is listed as having been a coachman.

William has been a major brickwall in my research as I have yet to find him on any census record.

Now armed with this new information, once again, I boldly go to search the on-line records and, after meandering up the proverbial garden path with a William H. [Henry/Harry] Tait, end up pretty much where I started.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Doug
