Thanks everyone, great work!
Cas, I'm pretty sure that's the family.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Parents of the bride
« on: Wednesday 04 January 17 07:38 GMT (UK) »
Hi people, and Happy New Year to everyone.
I'm able to make out all the details on this MC, except for the occupation of the late bride's father, and her late mother's maiden name. Any suggestions?

Thanks Spendlove.
This might explain why we couldn't find burials for either of them at Brampton. From the DC James seems to have been the one reporting Elizabeth's death in Dec 1849, but I can't find him in the 1851 Census. Is there by chance a burial for him at Whittington?

Thanks. The person in question is Elizabeth WRIGHT, wife of James WRIGHT, Coalminer, died 27 Dec 1849 at Brickyard Whittington, Chesterfield. The 1841 Census had them at Little Compton, Scarsdale, Chesterfield. They were the subject of an earlier thread..

Sorry, to be more precise, the Registration District for the death was Chesterfield in Derbyshire (hence the question on this sub-forum).

Hi everyone!
I have an ancestor who was living at Brickyard Whittington at the time of her death in 1849. Does anyone know where this was?
Can someone also suggest in which cemetery or churchyard someone dying in this location would have been likely to have been buried?

Mabel
I think you've come up with the only plausible explanation.
Perhaps the father said "Joe" in response to the question as to the baby's name (neither James nor Susannah could write) and the census taker might have heard it as "Geo".
Thanks for that!

OK, I've now found the baptisms of all the DAWSON children of William and Martha, and they were all their issue...with the exception of George, who remains a problem.
I can't find any George DAWSONs being born anywhere in Oxfordshire in the period 1837-1841. There's no George DAWSONs in the 1851 Census in that area. I can't find any George WAITs (Sarah's husband, m 1838), PALMERs (Mary's husband, m 1841 ) or SMITH (Eliza's husband m 1840) either.
Unless anyone has any other explanations, I guess he'll have to remain a mystery.

Sarah baptised 17 January 1816 at Wootton, daughter of Wm and Martha Dawson, abode Wootton, father's profession Carter
Mary baptised 16 July 1820 at Tackley, daughter of William and Martha Dawson, abode this parish, father's profession Labourer
Elizabeth baptised 17 August 1828 at Tackley, daughter of William and Martha Dawson, abode Tackley, father's profession Labourer
Henry baptised 4 Oct 1835 at Tackley, son of William and Martha Dawson, abode Tackley, father's profession Labourer
Thanks Decor! That leaves William, John and George unaccounted for. I wonder if George ? was Sarah's son? I might try and find them in 1851.
