Blakes of Ilkeston

[cockerney]

Hello My Family Tree. I think I may have an answer for you regarding Annie's whereabouts in 1891, but it is a bit complicated .  May I suggest that she was born in 1868 and not 1863 ? I think she did marry Henry Wright in 1887 and that he did die in 1895 (When she would have been app 27) . Do you agree that you may be mistaken about her birthdate ?               Regards, Cockerney.

Hello again, using my usual convoluted  searching methods, I have arrived at the following .  Annie was a daughter of William Blake and Elizabeth Henshaw (M. 1859). In 1891 she is living with her parents, 87, Nottingham Rd , Ilkeston (there are Wrights next door). This entry has been mistranscribed and the family are searchable as BALKE. Annie is listed as married but under her maiden name of BLAKE. I think Henry Wright is working away downt pit, in Yorkshire, but his entry is mixed up with another Henry Wright apparently also in the same household. Perhaps someone can post the census entries for your perususal as my brain is hurting at the moment.  Regards, Cockerney.
