Yorkshire (North Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: 1841 Census Lookup - SMITH

Goodness...it's all over the place isn't it? You've gone above and beyond Pels. There's certainly some food for thought there. I've made contact with a Genes site in Whitby and they have lots of records from 1600 or so up to 1837 which I'll now investigate as well.

Thank you to one and all for the assistance.....and the speed in which it came.

Based on the age of Joseph in your findings Pels I have search the IGI and found a Joseph Smith marriage in Aislaby in 1847 to Mary Beilby. His parents were Benjamin Smith and Sarah Sleightholm. I'll try some investigation with this and see how I go.

Thanks everyone...

I believe John was born in London, but I see mention of Durham in other searches. I've scratched my head on both of these though. I do have his birth cert but the disk drive its on has seized.

You are correct keyboard86, that's the chap.

John's marriage certificate in 1847 lists both he and his wife as residents of Aislaby!! One of the witnesses was Joseph Smith and I'm assuming it was a brother.

Worth chewing over the apprentice blacksmiths for John & Joseph. I haven't been able to locate anything as yet that fits for their birth / baptism. Maybe Benjamin & his wife has already died?

Dear Rootschatters,

I am trying to locate my gggg grandfather and his family in the 1841 Census. I strongly suspect the family lived in Whitby, North Riding (in 1853 young John mentioned below lived in Henrietta Street, Whitby). There is a slight chance they were at Eston though.

The family is Benjamin SMITH, Labourer/Blacksmith, age unknown, POB unknown. Wife’s name unknown. A child, John approximately 15 years old and most probably another child Joseph. There may also be a Henry.

My sincere apologies for all the unknowns. Hopefully someone will be able to turn this around for me!!

Any information appreciated.

That's quite a surprise to find them alive in 1851 keyboard86. Not what i expected. These people are quite elusive. Maybe I am 'barking up the wrong tree'?

Dear Rootschatters,

I am trying to locate my ancestors, George & Hannah (nee LODGE) WITHERS on the 1841 census. I believe they both passed away in the same month (another mystery) in 1842 in Thornbury. There should also (hopefully) be mention of a 10-11 year old daughter Sarah.

I know VERY little about this family before Sarah.

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Reagrds,
Jeff

I'm with you Chinka. I understand the relationships and how they work out. I believe you are referring to Mary Ellen & Augustus when you say Nellie & Gus.

I have limited photos but a little bit of history that you may/may not have. I shall PM you in the next couple of days as the details from here on are of a rather personal nature and add no benefit this particular post.

Regards,
Jeff

Hello Chinka,

I've found the McCabe family quite confusing. Was your Thomas McCABE born c1849, to John & Hilda? McCABE, arrived in Australia on board 'Tudor', married Harriett JARRETT and died 1925.

I am related directly to both this Thomas AND his brother John due to an unusual marriage.

There are a few McCabe families at the same time with John's and Thomas's which are completely different. I have gone down incorrect paths a couple of times in my research. I have both John & Thomas's death certificates, however they contradict their mothers' name. Both say BUTLER, however one lists her as Hilda, the other Helena. I would like to either confirm (or rule out) their relationship once and for all.

I would love to find out more about the Irish side of the family if you have any information.

Hi Chinka,

I would be interested to hear of any information on John Butler McCabe's ancestry if you have details. I hit brick walls with his after his parents. I have some details on him and the family once in Australia.

Regards,
Jeff
