Hello

Elizabeth Mary Cox Hardy married James Arton Maund on 28 December 1880 in The Chapel of Whittington, Worcester.

In the 1881 census James is with his parents and widowed brother in Worcester. Elizabeth is with her employer Dr Walsh  also in Worcester. She has her maiden name of Hardy in the census, perhaps her employer forgot.

Elizabeth was born in Bockhampton, Dorset in 1846

James was born in 1841 in Worcester. He is possibly the James Maund who died in Worcester in 1888.

I cannot find either of them after that. They do not appear in the 1891 or the 1901 census, this is why I am presuming James is the one who died in 1888. However I cannot find Elizabeth either.

Needless to say I have tried every possible variation of Elizabeth and Mary I can think of and also Maund and Hardy.

She could have remarried. I have tried possible Elizabeth Maund's and Hardy's and inserted the new name in the census, but to no avail.

There are several Elizabeth Maund's who died, but no Elizabeth Mary or Elizabeth Mary Cox Maund.

Elizabeth is my husband's great grandmother so I would like to find what happened to her. I have been trying for several years now with no result. If anybody could help me I would be very grateful

My thanks

James Freestone b in Leicester in about 1803 appears in the 1881 census in his son in law, Louis Peabody's family in Heanor, Derbyshire.
His daughter Mary Jane, wife of Louis, b 1855 in Ruddington, Nottingham and
William Freestone, Mary's brother, aged 19, also born in Ruddington are also there. Both father and son are framework knitters.
I have the families in the 1891 census still in Heanor.

Could anyone please look them up in the 1871 census when they would have been in Ruddington. Louis and Mary's eldest child was born there in 1873.

James appears quite old to be the father of Mary and William, perhaps a second family, but he could almost be a grandfather!! The 1891 repeats the father relationship however.

In the 1871 they may have been separate families of course, with James perhaps having lost his wife in the meantime and later living with his daughter.

I do not know the name of James wife, or of any other children there might have been, althougn I do have more details of James parents and siblings!

My grateful thanks for any help

Hello all

I wonder if someone could look up the 1861 census please for the Richardson family who were living in Harnal Lane Coventry at the time of my grandfather, Joseph's, birth in 1859. They are Henry Richardson and his wife Ann plus family. As Ann was living in Harnal Lane when they married in 1846 it is likely they lived there a long time.

It is even possible that her family is still in Harnal Lane. her father was William Thacker. Henry's father was John Richardson and he lived at Town Wall in 1846.

My grateful thanks for any information please.

Best wishes to all Rootschatters
