In St Neots RG9/981 folio 79A there's a John Ray head 61 with son Joseph 25 might be Mar might be Wer ag lab b St Neots, but there's no sign of Jemima. Might she have died between 1858 and 1861? She's not in Toseland

Lost my reply so I am starting all over again just in case you have received one half completed

1851 found Abraham and family in Toseland with Jemima down as dau in law.

1861 shows Abraham and family

Sorry but I have used combinations of the surname and found nothing, free bmd's don't show a death immediately after the marriage but it  is not complete.


If there were any issue form Joseph and Jemima (what lovely names) then I suppose a birth cert will be the next thing, it might give you an address nearer to the 1861.

Did you find them on nay other census ?.

Sorry not to have had any luck

regards

Hi David,

Thanks, don't know how I missed it, probably got tired reading too many pages.

It looks right, there is a Mary (witness) and if I read it right Joseph is a widower, bit unclear but doesn't look like married.

Thanks LM for trying, looks like the marriage didn't last long, doesn't seem to be any children.

Thanks LM,

It looks like Jemima died between 1858 & 61 possibly in childbirth, am going to have a search for her, plenty of web sites to have a go at.

I have had a quick look at Ancestry BDM's, no trace between 1858 and 1861.

Have also been through 1837online 1858 to 1861 and the FreeBMD, without any luck, I think it is a case of not registered.

[louisa maud]

In my opinion I think deaths had to be registered, unless anyone else knows better.

Good luck anyway

There is a Burial index for St Neots (St Mary) up to 1900 on fiche at the Hunts. FHS, have sent for same.
Let's hope it gets a result.
