Cumberland / Re: Georgina Brotherton, born Furness,
« on: Friday 12 March 21 17:08 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks, everyone.  Charles snr was indeed born in Walsall.  Looks like Georgina belongs elsewhere after all.  Seems I need to look elsewhere for the 4th elusive child.
Best wishes, Dion.

Thanks Milliepede.  Birth cert is an option, but I'm reluctant to bother the GRO in current circumstances.  You have the right family, though the index does not include mother's maiden name for this period.  The 1911 census says they had 4 children, 2 alive (Charles Henry and Frances Maud, who appear in other censuses and records), and 2 deceased, one of whom was Mary Ann (1891-94), born and died Middlesbrough, where they lived later.  This Georgina appears to be the only one that does not belong elsewhere.  If right I suspect stillborn.  Still, as with Frederick, it's worth seeing if someone can help.
Best wishes, Dion.

Cumberland / Georgina Brotherton, born Furness, COMPLETE

Please see previous topic re Frederick Brotherton.

There is a record of birth for Georgina Brotherton 1886 Oct-Dec Barrow-in-Furness 8c 805; a quick turn around after Charlres Henry 3 Jan 1886 (Motherwell), but by no means impossible.  I have no maiden name for mother.  I have not found any other records, or entries in trees, or news articles, so this remains a mystery.

Any help much appreciated.

Cumberland / Re: Frederick Brotherton buried Furness 1906

Thanks Rosie and Christine.  The maiden name was Perkins, but that seems academic, now.  Looks like 21 years it is, so Frederick belongs elsewhere - could be his mother was unmarried and the name hints at the father being Stevenson.  Best wishes, Dion.
PS there is another iron in this fire and I will start a new topic.

Cumberland / Frederick Brotherton buried Furness 1906 - COMPLETE
« on: Thursday 11 March 21 15:22 GMT (UK)  »
Hello.  I am seeking help with the burial of Frederick Brotherton on 18 Sep 1906, age 21 months, at Rampside, St Michael, which is near to Dalton-in-Furness, to see whether his parents were Charles and Mary Ann Brotherton.  (I have only seen a transcript on Findmypast.)

I am also looking for a corresponding birth or baptism record, which would be about the turn of the year 1903-1904.

Thanks
Dion

Derbyshire / Re: Advice wanted for Mary Dennis’ place of birth
« on: Thursday 03 December 20 15:41 GMT (UK)  »
Sorry I picked this up a bit late, but I have done quite a lot of research on the Dennis families in Derbyshire & Leicestershire, and I think I can tidy up a bit.  We know that Mary Anne Dennis or Dennies was not with family for the 1841 census.  From that I infer that she moved, married or died.  The burial notably at Castle Gresley 6 Feb 1838 age 16 fits - if baptism 1 Apr 1821 would likely still be 16 going on 17.  The Entry of Death might reveal that the informant was related.

The family in 1841 that jimnix found is that of John and Ann Rushton.

Her father John Dennis (m. Ann Rushton) his grandfather (also John) was brother of Henry Dennis b. 1718.

Also, Mary Anne's father was in the censuses respectively 1841 labourer, 1851 Ag Lab, 1861 Ag Laborer.  I believe he died in 1864 at Barton under Needwood, where he had lived with oldest daughter Elizabeth.

To be honest, trying to find a specific Mary Dennis is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

My tree on Ancestry is BrownCarterDennisEvans.

Best wishes
Andy Dennis.

Staffordshire / Re: Greatrex Stafford lost records?

Thanks, Ciderdrinker, much appreciated.  I've not been doing much family history lately, so only look in periodically.  I'm not sure what it would prove, but I think I will order the entry of death from GRO.  Best wishes, Dion.
