Hi
can anyone who as access to the 1901 images help.
I can't dertermine the occupation of a Farmer James White, from Wigginton.
The transcript is:
In 1901 living at Wigginton Lodge, Wigginton, York (RG12; Piece: 3883; Folio 25; Page 9;ED3; SN4)
James White Head 45 Relieving?? Officer & Disance??? Inspector   b. Skelton; Annie wife 45 b. Moorthorpe; Eveline dau 16 b. Skelton; Adelaide dau 13 ; George son 10 (both b. Wigginton); Samuel Blows Teamster on farm 19 b. Melbourne, Camb; William Brigham Horseman on farm 19 b. Wigginton; Hannah Robinson Wood Dom Serv 20 b.Earswick; John William Dearson Cattleman 15 b. Huntington
Thanks in Advance
Dennis

Just a thought, if Daisy was registered at birth as Daisy WHITE, wouldn't she have to get married under that name as well?

This family is never consistent with the surnames it uses.  Isn't that what makes it so interesting?

• Her younger sister Ada White married as Ada Bennett
• Indeed her mother Mary Hawkins who had married James ROE, missed out on marrying Caesar EADE, but married Thomas WHITE as Mary Eade and then married William Bennett also as Mary Eade!!!
• Her first son Charles Hawkins died as Charles Eade.
• One son Horace ROE is on the census as Horace Hawkins at one point.
• The daughter Alice ROE died as Alice Eade (and the cert. wrongly gives Caesar Eade as the father).
• Later Millie Barbara Eade married as Millie Barbara Morris.

Hi everyone
Just reporting back after arrival of some certificates.

• I can report, unfortunately, that the following is not "our" Mary (nee Hawkins): Deaths Dec 1910 BENNETT Mary age 61 Brentford 3a 67
• This is right though: Deaths Mar 1885 EADE Caesar age 29 Farnham 2a 67; Details are: Regn District = Farnham; Sub-District = Frimley; Counties of Surrey & Southampton. No. 328 Died 17th January 1885 at The Common, Ash, Surrey, RSD.  Caesar Eade, age 29, Labourer. Cause of Death; Phthisis 12 months; Certified by W W Young MD. Informant: John Dougherty, Present at the Death; The Common, Ash. Registered 20th January 1885 Geo. Day, Registrar.
• This is probably right Death Cert for Mary's first child {ie Charles Hawkins b. 22 Dec 1873 to unknown father, I have this cert also} and a bit intruiging: Deaths Sep 1884 Eade Charles 10 Farnham 2a 61. Details are: Regn District = Farnham; Sub-District = Frimley; Counties of Surrey & Southampton. No. 75 Died 26th June 1884 at Ash, RSD.  Charles Eade, age 10, Infant child of a labourer. Accidental Death; Certificate received from Owen C Ward, Deputy Coroner for West Surrey, Inquest held 28th June 1884. Registered 3rd July 1884 Geo. Day, Registrar.  According to the West Surrey Family History Society it is highly unlikely that any Coroner's Inquest documents survive.  What is intruiging is that the area of Ash Common where the family lived was then crisscrossed with rifle ranges (and still is today: the Ash Common Firing Ranges) .  Maps show these ranges even in 1878.  It is possible that young Charles strayed into this area and was accidentally shot - It must have been a real tempation for a 10 year-old to get up close!- pure speculation, but with this family almost anything can be expected; wait for the next dot point
• This is probably right Death Cert for Mary's 4th child {ie Alice Roe b. Mar 1880 in Byworth and recorded as this in 1881 when family was first seen living with Caesar Eade}. Details are:  Deaths Jun 1883 EADE Alice age 3 Farnham 2a 68. Details are: Regn District = Farnham; Sub-District = Frimley; Counties of Surrey & Southampton. No. 81 Died 8th May 1883 at The Common, Ash, Surrey, RSD.  Alice Eade, age 3, Daughter of Caesar Eade, a labourer. Cause of Death; Marasmus, 12 days; Certified by W W Young MD. Registered 8th May1883 Geo. Day, Registrar.  This is sad as the definition of Marasmus is A progressive wasting of the body, occurring chiefly in young children and associated with insufficient intake or malabsorption of food.  Perhaps the little girl was starving rather than ill.  Also of course Alice's father is not Caesar as written on the certificate.

As we can see 3 tragic deaths in 1 year and 8 months.  The last, husband Caesar, just 6 months before Mary Hawkins gives birth to our infamous Kate Eade.  So at the time of Kate's birth Mary has:
no Breadwinner;
a daughter Ellen Hawkins [Nelly] age 10;
a son Horace Roe aged 8;
a son Archie Eade age 3;
a daughter Rose Eade age 1.

Hat's off to Mary and those surviving children.  Remember 2 husbands are yet to appear and 2 children yet to be born: Daisy & Ada White!!!

The early scenario that perhaps Mary HAWKINS was "a black widow" bumping off successive husbands is the exact opposite of what she needed; a fit bread-winning partner.

A picture tells a thousand words!!! {I hope the picture is attached and displayed- I can't see it in the preview screen}
I believe this is a summary of where this thread has led us.  It includes info from some Ancestry.com charts [namely: Peron Family Tree (Owner: rodneyperon); Pizzey/Halfhide/South/Argent Family Tree (Owner: lallygirl1); Wincomb family tree (Owner: StephenWincomb); Barnes Family Tree (Owner: thetomdog)]
Are there any mistakes?
