The Common Room / Re: Two different listings in the Birth register ?
« on: Sunday 02 July 23 15:10 BST (UK) »
Thank you for your replies.
The listings show both show the mother's Surname correctly, but the surnames of the child are both different, one is the known father but the other surname is not the Father or the Mothers name but something different.

The Common Room / Two different listings in the Birth register ?
« on: Saturday 01 July 23 19:47 BST (UK) »
I have just been checking a birth registers from Lancaster in 1964. I was suprised to see that there are two listings with the same reference number but both showing different surnames ? The lady was unmarried and is correctly identified why would there be two listings ?

If she was approx aged 46 at death a good contender for her baptism is of a Mary Stubbs 3.7.1792 parents Henshaw Stubbs & Sarah. This would fit nicely with the birth of the Henshaw Stubbs Corbishley bap 1827 probably named after his grandfather.
Henshaw & Sarah had a son Mathew Stubbs baptised 11.9.1785 Gawsworth. This ties in with the 1851 census where Henry Wagstaffe is in the houseold of Mathew Stubbs born Gawsworth c1786. So Mary and Mathew were siblings.
Working on the premise that Mary Stubbs was born c1791, her husband William may have been born around that time as well. There is a burial 15th February 1835 of a William Corbishley aged 48 in Macclesfield.
Now I see John, so it looks like they were siblings!!!
Thank you so much for picking apart my puzzle and helping me to get back on track.

Goldie61,

and thanks for getting me back on track, I could not work out how to get back to and before Mr Corbishley.

The answer to your question 'why do both the Wagstaff boys have Stubbs as their middle names?' is because it was their mother's maiden name.

Black Sheep, I see you have been online this morning--any comments on the posts??
Hi John I was at work this morning I looked to see if I had any replies, I was in no position to reply until I was able to check my notes from the computer.

In 1841 Henry Wagstaff is also with Matthew & Martha Stubbs
Are you sure John survived infancy?
Hi Carole,
All I could find for John was a baptism, nothing further.

Cheshire / John Wagstaffe Prestbury Macclesfield
« on: Thursday 03 March 22 21:29 GMT (UK) »
I am researching John Wagstaffe / Wagstaff who married Mary Corbishley on the 15th November 1835 Prestbury in Cheshire, both are widows and John is listed as a surgeon.
Mary dies in 1837 and John around the same time
Two Children
Henry Stubbs Wagstaffe b 1837 Sutton Macclesfield
John Stubbs Wagstaffe
1851 Census Henry is living as a servant at Mathew Stubbs Finney's Farm Gawsworth.
Questions..
If Mary was a widow how would I find her previous husband and family ?
Why are both boys baptized with "stubbs" as a middle name, interestingly Henry was a servant after his parents death but if he as a kind uncle he would not be listed as a servant ??
I can not find brother after parents death?
Any thoughts on how to progress would be really helpfull.
