Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: Marriage in Wakefield

Abson family can be found in Normanton (just outside Wakefield) They were part of an Estate Agent's firm Abson Blaza in Normanton itself. This maybe of some use.

Yorkshire (North Riding) Lookup Requests / John Hodgson

« on: Sunday 06 July 08 09:59 BST (UK) »

Looking for the death of John who was born c1842 in Boltby Yorkshire. In the 1871 census he is married to Rosemond (nee Johnson) and having two children Margaret and Ellen. I think John died between 1871 and 1876 possibly or did he remarry? Cannot find him on the 1881 census. I do know that from 1873 Rosemond had 3 children to a William Marsh and I dont think she married him. Any ideas guys?

Thank you in anticipation

Staffordshire / Re: Catherine Morris

Hiya Tati .... many thanks for the info

Looking on BMDs, Paul Stanley did in fact marry Ann Nicholls in 1886. The family unit of William Thomas John and Paul are living back with Ann Townsend who is co-habiting with William Churm (who she later marries) on the 1891 Census whilst Paul is with the 'Nicholls'. Whilst living with Paul the younger three have his surname 'Stanley' and the eldest William is a 'Townsend'. The critical part of the family is for me is 'Thomas' ... is he a Stanley or a Townsend?

I cant find a marriage for Paul and Emma (nor a death date for Emma if thats why Paul remarried) and Im still having difficulty locating in 1861 and 1881 Catherine Morris / Townsend

Any other clues anyone?

Staffordshire / Catherine Morris

Looking for 1861 and 1881 census info on Catherine / catharine. She is the daughter of Robert Morris and Ann Millington born Sedgley Staffordshire in 1850. She appears on the 1851 Census aged 6 months. I do have her on the 1871 Census and 1891 / 1901 ... In the latter 2 with William Churm.

She certainly had 1 child (William) and maybe 3 others Thomas, John and Paul. In the 1871 Census she is recorded as Catherine Townsend but the surname could be due to father's previous marriage (her son was named William Townsend) and on his Birth certificate (which I have) the father was recorded as Paul Townsend. I think his dad was called Paul ... but I dont think that's his surname.
