I started with Ann Cutsworth born 1785 Wrawby. I have her children (Elizabeth/Betsy Cutsforth Knapton is the direct line in the tree I'm researching.) I can list them if needed, but saving time and amount of reading for others by not. Husband is William Knapton baptised 1787 Sheffield to Benjamin and Ann (didn't find their marriage).

Parents were Robert Cutsforth and Elizabeth Carline who were married in 1782 Wrawby. Haven't managed to find their marriage and therefore, Ann's maiden name.

I've found Elizabeth's baptism to William Carline and Elizabeth in 1757 Wrawby.

I can't find Robert Cutsforth s baptism. I know he was buried in. Wrawby in 1816 and his birth is given as c1753.
Can anyone find him? He does baptise two of his children: Jane 1797 and Thomas 1800 at the independent chapel at Wrawby Street, Brigg. Maybe he wasn't baptised in established church either?

On ancestry, there was an entry, which I now can't find 🤦, which says that he was born in Melton Ross. I can't find any records for that. However, I did find a Robert Cutsforth/Cutsferth/Cutsworth (I've put all of these, as the name seems to be spelled these ways across the generations given here) having children with an Elizabeth in Lincoln. I discounted it at first as it seems too far away, but then I found Milcah Cutsforth's baptism in Lincoln in 1847 and burial in Melton Ross. (unusual name and no other Milcah Cutsforth's found.) They have other children: Anne1744, Elizabeth 1746, Thomas 1755 (who seems to be buried 1824 Melton Ross) all born in Lincoln and William born in 1748 Melton Ross. A Robert Cutsforth marries an Elizabeth Coulson in 1743 in Wrawby.

I have a good feeling that this might be Robert 1753's family, but can't find anything to prove this, without a baptism for him?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

London and Middlesex / Robert Paul and Elizabeth Yates marriage c1854??
« on: Thursday 01 June 23 16:05 BST (UK)  »
Hi
I have Robert Paul born c1823 Westminster and Elizabeth Yates(MMN using GRO for the births of all the children found on censuses) on 1871 census with Elizabeth Paul their daughter born 1857 Islington (using GRO but she gives St Pancras and Kensington as her dates of birth. I think this is because subsequent siblings were born there as well as St LukeChelsea??) Elizabeth gives her place of birth aswiltshire on the 1871 census and I found her in the Workhouse in Kensington 1901 where she gives it as Staunton Wiltshire. Haven't found her or Robert on other censuses yet, as that might confirm her birthplace.

The other children are Mary Ann 1855 Islington, Robert 1859 Islington, unnamed girl 1862 st pancras (can't find on census or deaths), Lucy 1863-4 st Luke Chelsea, Lucy 1865 st Luke Chelsea, George 1868 Kensington, Rhoda (transcribed as rodlea 🤪 on the 1871 census).

It's really only Robert senior, Elizabeth Yates and Elizabeth Paul junior that I'm interested in.
The parents marriage would be good. Then I can work backwards for them.

I also don't have Elizabeth Paul junior's marriage to her husband George Marsh.he was born 1851 Glanford Brigg, Lincs but their children are all born in St Pancras and Kensington .

Thank for your help.

Dublin / Thomas Cullen , Mary Nolan and son Michael Cullen
« on: Tuesday 16 May 23 22:35 BST (UK)  »
This is a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack, but worth a go.

I have Thomas Cullen born c1813 Ireland on the English census 1851 in Bradford, West Yorkshire with wife Mary born c1829 Dublin (got this from another census), son Michael born c1845 Ireland and Thomas born c1850 Bradford England.i also have two daughters born Bradford: Mary Ann c1852 and Agnes 1853 and son, John, born Leeds in 1856.

Thomas senior, Mary and son Michael must have left Ireland between 1845 and 1850.
On the General records office, I've found that Agnes, Mary Ann and John's mother's maiden name was Nolan/ Nowlan.

I was hoping that there might be a marriage for Thomas and Mary and/or Michael or any other children's baptisms?
I'm assuming Dublin, beacuse that's where Mary says she's from and it's all I've got to go on.

Bit of a long shot, I know.

Thanks for your help.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Agnes Collins born c1854 Bradford/Leeds
« on: Saturday 13 May 23 22:53 BST (UK)  »
I'm trying to find her parents.

I have her with mum Mary (c1825 Dublin Ireland), sister Mary Ann (1851 Leeds) and brother John (c1856 Leeds) in 1861 in the Workhouse at St Luke's, Whitecross Street, Middlesex. Mary is married, rather than widowed.

In 1871 the four of them are in Kensington. Mary is still married but Agnes and her sister are born in Bradford.

In 1881 Agnes is married to William (also a Collins) and living with him and son William in Kensington. GRO has William junior MMN as Collins. Their marriage was 1873 in Kensington.

I have her in 1891 and 1901 too.

Just can't find her parents other than mother is Mary born c1825 in Dublin .

I have Francis John Clemo who is often known as John Clemo on censuses.
He married Mary who was born c1870. She gives her place as Callington,Colington and Yorkshire (on 1911 census) on different censuses and says she's been married since 1890 on the 1911 census and gives herself as 'married' and 'head' of family.
The only marriage I can find in 1890 is to a Mary Dumble but that's to a John Clemo.
There's a marriage on 1882 between Francis Clemo and Maria Bray in St Austell but that would make Francis 12 when he married 🤪
Can anyone help with the marriage and then where Mary is from and her parents please?

Their children are : Mary Elizabeth 1891, (Frederick) John 1892, Millicent 1895, Nora 1897, Hetty 1898, Francis 1900, Charles Gilbert 1901 and Norman (who is the direct ancestor in the tree I'm researching) . All have MMN as Dumble on GRO. Except Nora and Hetty that I can't find on GRO.

London and Middlesex / Ann Saunders born c1826 St George's
« on: Monday 10 April 23 20:46 BST (UK)  »
Looking for her baptism and parents.
Also her marriage to Frederick Carter, which would help me find her father and maybe then her baptism. Assuming this is in 1840s as their first child David is born c1844 in Marylebone.
Thanks.

Devon Lookup Requests / Leonard Cooper born c1847
« on: Monday 10 April 23 20:35 BST (UK)  »
Hi
I have Leonard Cooper, living in Kensington, who says he was born 1847 in South Molton on the 1891 and 1911 census.
Helpfully, he says he's born in South Wales in 1871. And Kensington in 1881 🤦

He gives his father's name as Henry Cooper, basket maker, on his marriage registration to Harriet Humphreys in 1874, Notting Hill.

I also can't find him on 1851 or 1861 census or on GRO, so can't get his MMN.

Can anyone else see him please?

Hi
I have Harriett Humphreys who married Leonard Cooper in 1874 Notting Hill.
She gives her father's name as Thomas and says he's a wood sawyer.

I have her in 1871 living with Leonard (on some censuses it says he was born on south molton, Devon but on this one it says south Wales. Could just be coincidence but their dobs tie up, and their names and they're living in Kensington, where they live and bring their children up.)

Can anyone find her on earlier censuses and can anyone find her parents? I'm stumped?
Thanks.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Leonard Cooper's children
« on: Sunday 09 April 23 22:41 BST (UK)  »
Hi
I have Leonard Cooper married to Harriett Humphreys in 1874 Notting Hill.
I have their children Leonard 1875, Henry 1876, Catherine Frances 1878, Seth 1879 and Ellen 1882 in Kensington. I've found these on censuses and GRO.

Then on 1911 census, Leonard is a widower, still a chair maker but with Leonard born 1888.
He also has listed these as his daughters: Caroline 1893, Jane Ethel 1898 (found her on GRO with mother's maiden name WEBB) and Sophia 1895 (found on GRO with mother's name WEBB again).

Can anyone find whether Leonard remarried after his marriage to Harriett? I can't find a marriage to a WEBB.

Thanks.
