OK - noted !

The great thing about having family from Wirksworth is John Palmer's amazing site - wirksworth.org - probably the best one-place study around.

This from the Parish Records at St Mary's ....Emma Street's christening - Aug 4th 1861.

C 1861aug04 STREET Emma elizabeth=Samuel/Ann catherine(Wirksworth)[Miner],#2120

The marriage was in Q2 so now we know why Kate was married at 17.

Can't see a marriage entry so must have happened elsewhere.

Cheers,
WC

Hi K86,

That's wonderful ! Can't thank you enough.

Have found 'Kate Stroot' in Sheffield in 1871 and it's definitely Catherine. Her children (Emma, Polly, Frederick William and James William) all have family names.

Can follow the family through now. How wonderful that she survived.
 
Not sure how you did it, but thanks again.
Best wishes,
WC

Many thanks to all,

Anne Gamble (b.1853 - 'Annie') who married John Bowmer was Catherine's younger sister.

The Hardingstone death is a (remote) possible, but I had discounted the Shardlow one on age grounds.

I'd looked at the Belper marriage in Q2 1861 (to John Smith or Samuel Street) but could not locate the couple in any subsequent censuses. As you say, Catherine would have only been 17 years old. No other marriages look sensible. They were an Anglican family so any marriage would have taken place at St Mary's in Wirksworth (unless she ran away).

I was wondering about emigration, but unlikely for a single woman?

Will keep trying.

Many thanks again,
WC

Hi Everyone,

I have been trying for some time to find out what happened to Ann Catherine Gamble b.1844 Wirksworth (known as Catherine). She was the eldest daughter of William Gamble and Ann nee Wragg.

The last mention in censuses is 1861, where she is recorded in Wirksworth aged 16 as a 'nurse'. I believe she may have died young but can find no death record which fits.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Seasons Greetings,
WC

Hi Kay and Forfarian

Many thanks - looks like the Henderson marriage is not right. Fanny Fern/Henderson (1864) was the daughter of Robert Fern (b.1833 Ireland) and Fanny Caldwell. The family are at 15 Clarendon St, Glasgow in 1881 and 47 Grove St in 1891.

I have been unable to identify my Fanny Fern (b.1860 Coton in the Elms, Derbyshire) in the 1891 England or Scotland censuses, but have found her in England in 1861, 1871, 1881, 1901, and 1911.

I have Charles Parker b.1868 Croxton Staffs with Fanny in 1901 and 1911, but he is elusive in censuses before that. There is a Charles Parker from Longton Staffs who is the right age and has extensive army service records, but I don't think he's the right one.

Thanks and regards
WC

Hi Kim

Many thanks - that's a possible. Wonder then why George Henry would be registered as a Fern?

Have found that 11 Dunchattan Street was a private residence, so possibly that of Fanny's employer. A maternity unit was opened on Duke Street nearby in 1904 (still standing), but too late for George Henry.

Best wishes

Hi Anne

I think that's probably right ! Keeping up appearances for their employer and colleagues, I'd say.

Best wishes and thanks again,

Hi EV, Anne and Kay,

Very many thanks - I shall look on the scotlandspeople index.

Kay - you have hit the target ! The Calmachie registration is the correct one.

Yes, Anne, you have the correct two Fern boys in Hampstead with Charles and Fanny Parker in 1901 in Hampstead. Charles and Fanny were in service with the noted art dealer, Joseph Joel Duveen (1843-1908), at The Elms on Spaniards Road. Duveen's story is amazing, if you get five minutes to Google him and his son. I'm not sure Charles and Fanny ever really married (there is no marriage in England, maybe one in Scotland??), as George Henry and John Charles were Fanny's sons (as Kay found, she was born Fanny Fern - my great-grandma's sister - she and all her sisters were great cooks !). I believe Fanny had 4 sons in all - Bertie Reginald Fern came along in 1896 and Louis Gordon Fern in 1898, both also registered as Ferns.

J.J. Duveen died in 1908 and Charles was put out of work - I have him still with Fanny (plus George, Reginald and Gordon) in 1911 in Fleet Road, Hampstead, claiming a 20 year marriage and all calling themselves Parkers.

Any further thoughts most welcome.

Thanks again to all,
Best wishes,
WC
