The Common Room / What happened to Isabella?
« on: Thursday 26 September 24 15:58 BST (UK) »
Isabella Machell was my 2x great aunt, the older sister of my great-grandfather, Richard Greville Machell.
She was born 29 September 1862 in Killington, Westmorland. She’s with her family in Killington in the 1871 census.
She married Richard Iveson, a Joiner, 22 January 1881, in Kendal. In the 1881 census she and Richard are living at 78 Bridge End Old Hutton, Westmorland. Richard is a Joiner and Cabinet Maker born Sedbergh, Yorkshire, 1860.
I can’t find a trace of Isabella after 1881!! I’ve searched immigration records, death registers (the only Isabella Ivesons I’ve found aren’t the right Isabella). Any help finding her would be greatly appreciated!
(In 1891 Richard Iveson is Single (not a Widower), a Joiner, born 1863 Sedbergh, and living as a Boarder in Fairburn near Pontefract. He married Sophie Burden in 1891 and was a Bachelor.)

Thank you so much, BushInn1746 and BumbleB!
Mary’s baptism record, 1786, has her mother’s name and her maternal grandfather’s name: Thomas Reynard of Doll [Dole] Bank farmer. I was curious about the omission of her paternal grandfather, but clearly that has no real significance. (I had been wondering if he might have died between 1784 and 1786, and that’s why he might have been omitted? There’s no vicar’s name, but the handwriting is similar from 1782-1786.)

On the baptism records of Henry Wilkinson, 1782 and William Wilkinson, 1784, Topcliffe, their paternal grandfather, Henry Wilkinson, labourer/husbandman, of Ripen, is noted (as well as their maternal grandfather). But, on Mary Wilkinson’s baptism, 1786, Topcliffe, no paternal grandfather is noted. (Her maternal grandfather is.) Is there any significance to the omission of a paternal grandfather in 1786?
Also, when Henry Wilkinson (1782) remarried 10 Oct 1837 in Leeds, his father is listed as Thomas Wilkinson, occupation gardener. No mention of his being deceased. Is it safe to assume that his father was still alive in 1837? (He was born about 1760.)
Thanks!

Thanks very much! I think it is my Mr Wilkinson. 1894 was the year he sold the liquorice business!

Thanks, arthurk. I did as you suggested, and looked more closely at the records. The four earlier baptisms in Pateley Bridge—1761-176–say of Pateley Bridge. However, in 1770 Elizabeth’s says of Roundelhill. (I’ve found a Round Hill near Pateley Bridge, but not a Roundel Hill.) And the Elizabeth daughter of Henry buried 1771 in Ripon says of Studley.

Thank you for responding to my post—and with some ideas that I hadn’t considered!
I think Henry Wilkinson and Agnes Ray are definite possibilities to be Thomas’s parents. An Elizabeth Wilkinson, daughter of Henry, was buried 6 May 1771 in Ripon. No age is given, so she might not be the Elizabeth baptised 1770 in Pateley Bridge?
A Henry Wilkinson was buried 10 August 1792 in Ripon. Again, no age is given.
An Agnes Wilkinson, born 1730, was buried 1823 in Ripon.

Sorry, Rosie! I tried to delete it but wasn’t able to. If you could delete the post on the Durham forum I’d appreciate it.
Thanks!
