1851 Warwickshire look-up please.

[ezekiel]

I have on the 1841 census for Warwick from FreeCen -  mother and son
SOMERTON - Ann 30yrs Shoemakers wife [crossed out] Born outside County
SOMERTON - Mansfield 2 yrs   Born - Warwickshire
also FindMyPast have it but not with 'shoemaker's wife' on it.

I have Mansfield's birth in the AMJ 1/4 of 1839 Shipston on Stour
I know nothing about Ann his mother.
Looking for help finding Mansfield on the 1851 s I cannot find him in the 1861 on. Possible he died young.
 Surname spelling could be SOMERTON; SUMERTON; SUMMERTON.
Thanks for any help rendered.

Mansfield Somerton Christened 23 April 1839 Cherington. ( about 3 miles from Shipston) IGI
Parents Gayton Somerton & Anne

Gayton Mansfield Summerton born 1803, Pedigree Resource File. This record gives his wife as Ann Hardy.


In 1851 there is Ann Summerton age 38 wife of Jesse Summerton, Butcher with a son Thomas age 6 living in Sheep Street Shipston on Stour.

Jesse  SUMMERTON   Head   M   35   M   Butcher   Swatcliffe-Oxford
Ann  SUMMERTON   Wife   M   38   F   ---   Swatcliffe-Oxford
Thomas  SUMMERTON   Son   -   6   M   Scholar   Shipston-Worcester
John  HITCHMAN   Serv   U   16   M   Errand Boy   Fulready-Warwick

In 1881 Ann and Jesse are still living in Sheep Street but Ann is now his sister??

Findmypast do not have records in 1871 for Warwickshire.

Hope this helps.

There is a marriage in Shipston on Stour in 1868 June Q and one of the brides was an Emily Sturch so this was probably a 2nd Marriage

Joe.
Lots of wives.

Jesse Summerton 1842 marriage to Ann Bowerman at Shipston.
Jesse Summerton 1854 marriage to Eliza Fisher at Shipston.
Jesse Summerton 1868 marriage to Emily Sturch at Shipston.

I think he died in 1894,  probably from exhaustion.

Thank you both Bob and Joe for your help. I thought that Mansfield would have to be the son of either my George or Gayton as their mother's maiden name was Mansfield and Gayton had that as his middle name as well and both were shoemakers by trade.
A deepening mystery with Ann the mother though. Need to do some checking as my Gayton and Ann COLLINGRIDGE nee HARDY weren't officially md until April of 1842 in Banbury then left to come here arriving Tassie, Oz in 1843 with no Mansfield with them. Gayton also had a son, Gayton Jnr who died at 6 yrs old in 1841 just after the census. No idea about 'mum' for him as she's not on the dth cert. Hmmm? More mystery for me to clear up. Fun!
Thanks again guys for the great help rendered. I shall look into this 'amorous' butcher Jesse...and leave any jokes about butchers there.

Who is George? Do you have the 1841 census for Mansfield? Do you have his birth certificate in 1839 which should give his parents names?
Do you have the 1841 census for Gayton age 5 living in Brackley who could be the Gayton who died in 1841?

I cannot find the Gayton Summerton (that married in 1842) in the 1841 census. Another Gayton Summerton was christened in Much Hadham, Hertford in 1809.

Bob

ps If anyone can see the above 1841 census records it would be useful.
