1851 Hull please

[lesleyhannah]

I'm hoping another pair of eyes will find this missing relative in either 1851 or1861 in Hull.

Mary Ann Banks was born 1845 in Church St Hull. Her father Thomas was a cabinet maker and her mother was Mary Ann (nee Fenton). Mary Ann married in Hull 1866. I'd like to find her with her family before her marriage, but am having no luck. I'd be very grateful if anyone can see what I'm missing.

Thank you.

Cannot find Mary Ann born 1845. Checked deaths and marriages on the Yorks BMD. Could Thomas have died age 21 1845 and Mary Ann remarried. There are 3 marriages of Mary (Ann) Banks between 1845 and 1851: Wilson, Patrick and Drewry. Hard to look for her in the census as do not know where and when she was born. Think Mary Ann born 1845 must be staying with relatives somewhere or adopted stepfather's surname?

Thanks for looking, Scarbro. I have Mary Ann's birth cert in 1846, where her father's name is given as Thomas, and mother as Mary Ann (nee Fenton). I also have her marriage in 1866 to Wm Lewsley where her father is again given as Thomas - no mention of him being deceased.

I've spent ages looking in 1851 and 1861 but just cannot find Thomas's family. In 1846 they were living in Church Street Hull, and in 1866 Mary Ann was living in Drypool, so I assume the family is in Hull.

Thanks again for looking Scarbro. I appreciate it.

Thanks, Isobelruss. That's interesting - wondering what the relationship between the 3 older adults is.  The occupation makes me think you could have found the correct Thomas - and you've given me some more clues to follow up. Thanks again - and happy new year to you!
