can any one help with this family DONBAVOND
« on: Thursday 23 August 07 07:45 BST (UK) »
Hi
I am trying to find anything i can about Margaret Jane Donbavond and her family. All i have is she was born in the June q of 1840 Registered Huddersfield Yorkshire (from free bdm's).
In 1862 she was in New Zealand getting married to William Henry Hargreaves.  Any census information or any information would be greatly appreciated please. I haven't been able to locate a death anywhere for her either (prob N.Z.)
Sorry it is not much to go on but it is all i can find so far.
 Thanks for taking the time to read my request

I can't see Margaret/Jane on the IGI but DONBAVAND seems to be a Lancashire name.

I had a lovely thankyou all ready to post but you are all so much quicker than I at typing. This information you have all provided is wonderful. I have gone from nothing to a person with parents, grandparents and a possible uncle. What was a cloth dresser please?
I think given that i can't find that surname anywhere that these are the right ones. I still don't understand the giving of one name and then using the second ie Registered as Margaret Jane but on the census as Jane.

Just to confuse things ,theres this family as well in Huddersfield

James Donbavand 55 velveteen cutter
Sarah 55
James 30 velveteen cutter
Henry 22 ditto
Thomas 18 woollen spinner
William 15 ditto
all born in county
Deighton Huddersfield
HO107 1275/15 fol 32 p 20

Could be the family prefered Jane so thats the name they used.Or maybe wrong person but there doesnt seem to be a Margaret born that year on 41 Yorkshire census

Another question in the 1851 census it says Jane is a servant but apparently Ellen (her grandmother?) is also living in the house.
A bit more information according to the family search site Margaret Jane Donbavond and her husband William Henry Hargreaves had 2 sons, the 2nd of whom was given Fairhurst as his 2nd given name. (Submitted entry so i have posted on the New Zealand immigrants board as well)
 Isobelruss  i had the above ready to post when once again i got a warning. What year was that last census please. I thought it was an uncommon surname but they are all coming out of the woodwork now.
