I've just received my 2xGt-Grandparents marriage certificate this morning.  The date of their wedding is given as 'The Ascension Day' 1863.

Can someone point me in the right direction to find out what the actual date of their wedding was?  I believe Ascension Day is 40 days after Easter Sunday.

Thanks,

Jo.

Could anyone let me have 1851, 1871 and 1891 census info for Jane Marshall (married name Douglas) please?

She was born c.1831-1834 in Keelby.

In 1853 she married Munby Douglas in Patrington ERY and in 1861 is aged 35, living in Out Newton, Easington, ERY with her husband, son Edward Douglas (aged 6 born Partrington ERY) and her sister Harriet (my direct ancestor).

In 1881 she is aged 50 and is back in Lincolnshire, living in East Halton and working as a housekeeper to William Jobson - she states that she's married but I'm not sure if that shouldn't read widowed? 

In 1901 she is aged 70, still in East Halton and living on her own means.  I believe I've got her death in 1907.

Thanks for any help. 

I'm hoping you kind folks can help me and my son with a project.

My son is learning about the Victorians and Queen Victoria at school and is getting really interested in history, so we have decided to do a project at home for him to take in and show his class.

Basically we decided to pick an individual from the Lincoln area and track him through the Victorian era, and then produce a timeline showing imprortant events for this period and then place him, and the events in his life, on to this timeline, and hopefully to find out a bit of 'social history', perhaps about occupations or where he lived.

I looked through the 1881 census last night, and we have come across Hezekiah Dady, who ticks all our boxes and has a wonderful name as well.  There's no family connection to him - we're just adopting him for a while (if he belongs to anyone I hope you don't mind us temporarily borrowing him  ).

From looking at the indexes he appears to be in Lincolnshire on all the census returns from 1851 (when I think he's Zeckeriah Dady), through to 1901.  I've got the 1881 info but would be really grateful for the details of the other census returns.

What I know about him so far is:

Hezekiah Dady, baptised 25th Dec 1850, Welton, parents John and Sarah Dady.
1876 married Rhoda Annie Smith in Islington
1881 census - aged 31, living Waddington Road, Bracebridge, attendant at asylum (think this will be Bracebridge Heath Lunatic Asylum), wife Rhoda aged 31 born Ashley, Cambridge, children Ellen E. (3 yrs), Herbert (2 yrs), Walter (6m) all born Bracebridge.

Sorry for such a long post and thanks for any help.

Hi,

Could I ask for a look-up on Riley Smith please on the 1891 and 1901 census?  He was born c.1889 (most likely Gainsborough area) and his mother was Hannah Smith.

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

I wasn't sure whether to post this on the Middlesex or North Yorkshire board.

I'm trying to track two 'Louthin's' who were born in London but seem to have moved to North Yorkshire.  I'm hoping that I can prove a connection between them.

Firstly I'm trying to track Eleanor Louthin pre 1871.  She was born in London but in 1871 and 1881 is a ladys maid in the household of Arabella S. Chaytor of Spennithorne Hall, North Yorkshire - Arabella is the widow of Christopher William Carter Chaytor.  Eleanor Louthin died in 1882.

In 1861 I think she is already a servant for the Chaytor's?.

I'll put a seperate post up for the second person I'm looking for.

Thanks for any help.

Jo.
