Devon / Searching for Mutley Plain 1861/71 census
« on: Monday 12 February 24 21:53 GMT (UK) »
Hi.
Sorry if this is a repeated subject.
I'm trying to find out who lived in Mutley Plain, Plymouth in 1861 and 1871 censuses. Specifically the non-Compton Gifford parish side.
I know there were cottages known as Lewis Jones' Cottages. How can I search for these without knowing anyone who lives there?
Basically I just want to go through the pages on Ancestry but you can't seem to do this by purely address.
Thank you in advance.

Hi.
Can anyone tell me which local newspaper would have had the best coverage for Queens Park Rangers FC in the period 1975/1976?

Lancashire / Re: Barrow family - Bolton - need help with marriages and 1841 census
« on: Monday 17 April 23 17:39 BST (UK) »
Hi - I'm revisiting this one after a while.
There is a possibility that James Barrow could have married Esther Kirkman in 1845. James's father is listed as Josiah, a publican.
I know that a sibling, Samuel married Sarah Gaskell in 1841 but I cannot see any reference to his father anywhere.
When Benjamin marries for the second, time, to Ann Whitworth, in 1859, father is Joseph, a weaver (he had died by this time).
I have the father as Joseph (wife is Alice) but he passed away pre-1841, so no census confirmation. I presume the name Josiah is not a variant of Joseph.....
So, does this, in effect, rule out the marriage between James and Esther Kirkman? - complete change of occupation allied to different christian name.
Cannot find marriages for John, Ann, Joseph or Betty which hinders any verification.

There's a marriage between either Jane Tippet or Maria James and John Rowe in 9/1872, Truro.
Can't find them in 1881 unless one has died and the other remarried.
Could be a coincidence (as a possible father for James Isaac) as there is a John and Maria living in 1881 together with a one-year old!

Thank you again.
Bit of a muddle. Couldn't see any Tippetts living nearby in 1871 (re Grandson).

Regarding the grandchild, I can't find a James J on gro index.
Could it be an illegitimate child of Jane?
Or a daughter of Isaac (marrying a Tippett)?
Typically, he's a servant in 1881 and married in 1891.

Genius....that is really fantastic.....James has probably died but that's probably a certificate.
I never fail to get caught out by mistranscriptions.
Thank you for your efforts - thought this may have to be filed away!!
