Hi,

I'm trying to find a particular Elizabeth Bearder after the 1841 census.

In the 1841 census she was living alone (Ind.) in Wingerworth Derbyshire, age 55, county of birth Derbyshire.

Can anyone help find her in either 1851 census, or marriage/burial between 1841-1851?

Thanks

Can anyone offer any thoughts or advice please;

I have a relative named Francis Cartwright born 16 Nov 1808 Thornton-le-Beans, and have been seeking to dig back further into the Cartwright line.

So far I have found Francis's baptism 20 Nov 1808 at Thornton-le-Beans in the bishops transcripts.  His parents were William Cartwright and Hannah Metcalfe, and they were married 6 Dec 1806 in Thornton-le-Beans (witnesses Mary Cartwright and Leonard Metcalfe). 
In the 1841 census Francis's widowed mother Hannah was living in His household in Brompton, but i cant find any trace of his father Williams death or burial between 1808 and 1837.
 Francis owned a Linen weaving shop in Brompton, near the shops of Smith Atkinson and Barnabus Causfield, until his death in 1857.   He married Elizabeth Barwick 13 Jun 1829 at Brompton but can't find any witnesses or further details relating to this marriage.

I've since been searching for his father William Cartwright's baptism and I've found the following in nearby South Kilvington;

William Smith Cartwright 19 Sept 1784 son of Francis Cartwright and Mary Fawcet on the iGi site. 
I wonder am I conveniently putting two and two together or is this really likely to be the correct William?  It looks promising though as one witness at William's wedding in 1806 was a Mary Cartwright who could have been either his sister or mother perhaps, and William's first/only child Francis appears to have been named after William's father Francis.  William's siblings all had middle names too, so i thought they may have been easier to find in other records, but I cant find them mentioned in any records so far after their baptism entry, so can't find any solid links.

William (Smith) Cartwright's siblings where;

John Fawcet Cartwright, bap. 14 Mar 1786
Mary Cartwright, bap. 27 Feb 1787
Francis Barnabus Cartwright, bap. 11 Jun 1788

Any thoughts or local knowledge would be appreciated,

Thanks

Hi,

I have been reading a book around County Durham c1750. In this book a place name "Paddington, contiguous to the city of Durham" is referenced. Does anyone know where this is today?

Possible,

But I can't find her in 1841 census, which makes me inclined to think this burial is for a Pheobe Johnson born after 1841.

Regards,
