1871 Census Look Up in Hull, Please

[Sgt_Tollers]

Hello  all,

I am attempting to find my g g great grandmother in the 1871 census, mainly because at the moment, I have no leads to her whatsoever.

According to my g great grandfather's birth certificate, her name was Jane Elizabeth Vincent, however, I have found no lead of such a name anywhere in Hull.

My dad thinks that it may be Vinson rather than Vincent, although I am a little wary of this.

Is it possible that anyone out there could attempt to find either a Jane Elizabeth Vincent or Vincent in 1871, please? I have found her in 1881, widowed, and living at 50 York Street, so it's possible that she'd be living in Sculcoates. I believe her age would be around the 22 mark.

Thank you  .

Best wishes,
Sgt Tollers

Hi,

Could Sarah A Vinson be 1mth?

Regards, Emma

[Shanko]

I thought that at first but the 2 itself has the tail on the top like all the other 2's in the image
unless they made a mistake with her age

 

[Emsworthy]

Or perhaps she was a daughter from a previous marriage?  23 is young to be a widow so perhaps Sarah was her stepdaughter?  Was her husband considerably older?

Just a thought!

Regards, Emma

Yet another thought.......maybe Sarah is a sister or even a cousin etc etc ah the mind boggles at the info on these census returns!

Hope whatever we have put up here helps the Sgt

Hi there, Emsworthy and Shanko

Happy new year to the both of you!

Thank you very much with your suggestions and answers to my previously posed question.

On one hand, things have become a little clearer regarding my g g great grandmother. On the other hand, things have now become a lot more cloudy!

I had thought that my g g great grandfather, Richard Fenton, was the one who was widowed. It now turns out to be his wife.

The little girl with Jane, Sarah, is down on the 1881 census as being 11, so I guess the 12 could be attributed to 12 months rather than years?

I also have another question - on my g great grandfather's birth certificate, his mother is down as Jane Elizabeth Fenton, formerly Vincent. It appears that her surname got lost in translation. However, my question is this: if a woman has married and been widowed before marrying once again and then having other children, is it her maiden name or her former married name that is contributed to the formerly part on the certificate? I am confused with my g g great grandmother, as if she is widowed as the 1871 census states, surely Vinson would be her married name rather than her maiden name? Or was it popular for women to revert back to their maiden names?

Many thanks for all you have done for me

Best wishes,
