1851 census lookup request-COMPLETED

[heywood]

I know I didn't consider the two Mary's ages - didn't look at them at all -big sin 
At first I thought it was a double life (exciting)
then I even said to myself 'they can't be sisters- same name!'
I wondered also if they were cousins  but never twigged that they could be parent/child.
I am convinced that that is the solution.

Just one thing I forgot ... Edward HOOTON at home with wife ... and also with WINSOR daughter in 1851.

Hi everyone,
can I start by saying you 2 are wonderful for the work you are doing on this for me.My relatives started a group last night (well my husband had to do my bi-the humiliation of it all-lol)simply for exchanging views on past research on our particular lines of enquiry.I've told them about you  and they say a big thank you too.
Can you give me a very ,very(because I'm feeling very weird this morning because of my cold and the brain won't take anything too difficult)simplified overview of what you think is happening.Bullet points please.Then at least I can pass it on to them.At the moment i feel so bunged up with cold this is all going a bit over my head.
Many thanks from  a poorly Trisha (lots of sympathy and hot lemon drinks please)

I'm not sure whether Mary (1) was born Wishlade and became Wood or vice versa

This is the supposition:

(1) Mary Wishlade Hooton c 1796 Eastbourne Sussex  (1841, 1851 census)

her children:

(2) Mary Wishlade c 1811 b Eastbourne Sussex (1841- 1901 censuses)

Edward Hooton c 1818  (Family Search IGI)
John Hooton c 1826 (1841 censuses and others)
Caroline Hooton c 1831 (1841 and others)
Elizer Hooton (1841 and others plus IGI baptism 1849)
Selena Hooton c 1834 (1841 and others plus IGI baptism 1849)
James Hooton c 1836 (1841 and others)

Mary Wishlade c 1811- children

are as you say-
Frances b 1832 (1841 and others)
John b 1836 (1841 and others)
Bales b 1839  (born and died September quarter 1839- certificates would be available to check information - mother and address ??)

Lots of other info in this thread and 1861 thread which when you are better could be collated, checked and cross referenced.

Hope you are better soon

That's my opinion too.

I think Mary (1) was a bit older - said to be 57 in 1851, 77 in 1869.

Bales WISHLADE was bap 23 July, buried 4 Aug 1839 at Spalding.

If your family have started a group and you have a bad throat, perhaps you could play the drums.

Dear Trisha

Having reduced most of your correspondents to "darkened rooms" to recuperate, you must be eternally grateful to GeoffE, Heywood and Mum44  for their valuable contributions.

After an initial foray with the 1851 census for Edward Hooton, I, myself, retired to a "darkened room" some time ago from whence I have only recently emerged to see that you are almost "mission accomplished".

I have a possible sighting of John Wishlade (born c1836) if you are still interested and also info re the possible emigration of Selina Hooten/Hotton born c 1831 (daughter of Edward and Mary) to the USA although I am sure that you are probably aware of this.

I am only a "Rootschat Pioneer" (one measly, previous posting) but your query was most interesting and I am so pleased that you are almost "sorted".

Regards

Ivanidea- you are most welcome and as you began your rootschat 'career' so successfully, I am sure you are now identified as a high flyer  You provided much needed information- thanks.

This enquiry goes over 2 threads - one for 1861 and this one. On one of them, and I have to admit, I can't face looking for it, we have Selina in USA and several of the other children- Hooton and Wishlade (in various guises).

Edward and Mary are still walkabout in 1861 and John Wishlade (Mary 2's child) is missing in 1841. There may be other missing ones at odd times too but hopefully when Trisha is recovered (I recommend a nice hot toddy, Trisha, if you take a nip occasionally) she will collate the info and identify the gaps.

Dear Heywood

Thank you for your kind "Welcome" and it is kind of you to talk of a successful launch to a "Rootschat" career.

Perhaps the "Hooten" thread wasn't the most straightforward of intros for a mere novice but it was certainly interesting!. Perhaps it helps that my ancestors were also part of the "Lincs Lot" and I know the "Deepings" quite well.

I, too, hope that Trisha recovers rapidly and can then tell us what more what she needs by way of further info.

Best Wishes to all involved with this "saga".

ah- inside knowledge!

You're right- not an easy one to cut your teeth on but these are the best I think! You'll be hooked soon enough and spend hours searching for the smallest clue and feeling that you personally know  of 1861 etc 

Great fun!
