[carol80]

Trying to find a Arabella Dora Stonehouse b Dec qtr 1841 Whitby. Could sks find her on 1851 Census please. Her Parents maybe Matthew and Elizabeth(only because i have so many).
Being an unusual name she maybe easy to find!!!

Just found on IGI: Arabella Dora Stonehouse ch 28 Nov 1841 Lythe Parents: Matthew Stonehouse, Elizabeth ( Extracted Record) Still need to find her on a Census.
Regards Carol

Nobody of that name shows up on any census.  Did she definitely survive into adulthood

I found a Matthew and Elizabeth Stonehouse on the 1861 but no children born in the 1840's.  Elizabeth was only born 1829

When you have the time could you post the census for the Matthew and Elizabeth you found in 1861 as i do not have them yet.
I have been in contact with my 3rd Cousin's Wife and have confirmed her family but nobody knows what happened to her. I have the family in 1861 and she is not with them. I will post again with the info i have
Regards Carol

Hi Carol,

It has me stumped too! I have tried to trace Arabella, like you I found the christening but nothing else?

I found this on the 1861 census - thinking it might fit your Matthew and Elizabeth, due to the Lythe connection, here goes:

Matthew Stonehouse, b.1801, Lythe.
Elizabeth,  b.1809,  Whitby.
Christopher. b.1827, Lythe,
Jane (Hind) b. 1857 Great Broughton/Little Broughton, (grand-daughter)

At the time of the census they all lived in Great Broughton.

Hope this helps.

Hi

One way of possibly solving the mystery is to look for a death for her between 1841-1851

The FULL BMD index is now available to search free of charge at www.ancestry.co.uk.  You will find it described as England & Wales, BMD Index (Beta)

The partial index (freebmd) can also be searched on the same website or at http://freebmd.rootsweb.com

Matthew and Elizabeth in Great Broghton are Arabella's Parent's. Christopher is her brother and Jane her niece. But NO Arabella. Looks like she died in Childhood but will have a look in Ancestry and see if i can find her.

Hello,

It is a mystery - I checked the deaths earlier, nothing!
Arabella Dora, Arabella, Dora even Bella but as far as I can see no record?

One thing I did come across which may slot in later for you was a Jane Stonehouse, b. 1777 (Lythe) living as head of house with daughter Mary, b.1807 and grand-daughter, Margaret b.1827.

There appears to be a lot of births in Lythe around the time of Matthew (1809) - I wonder if Jane is their mother?

Sorry I haven't been able to help very much.

I also checked the death registrations Dec 1841 - 1851 but didn't see her.

Her birth is officially registered so she did exist!
