1851 census lookup request-COMPLETED

[GeoffE]

Another inconsistency is Edward's place of birth-

1851 gives Crowland or Deeping
1871 gives Deeping St Nick

There is a will of an Edward HOOTON (farmer of Deeping Fen 1777) - too early to be father of our Ed - but the same name - to be found here http://tinyurl.com/3euxfn

Hi everyone,
got up to watch Strictly come Dancing after a nap and finally have struggled to the computer to see how you're all getting on-lol.
I think, Geoff and Heywood, that your suppostion is very probably correct.It would be nice to find the baptism record for Mary Wishlade b c 1811 to prove whose child she was.There's also that inconsistency as Geoff says about Edwards place of birth in 1851 /71.But you know what censuses can be like,sometimes they say the same each time,sometimes they don't).
I'm also slightly concerned about the Edward Hooton living as father in law to Caroline and William Rudkin in 1871.I always thought Caroline was Edwards daughter born c 1831.I'm not sure if it says he's a widower or not.Can someone tell me?Presumably he was a widower and he's the husband of the Mary Hooton buried at Deeping St James in 1871.He is obviously the Edward Hooton who died in 1877 in Deeping St James.Am I right on this?
Can you check Edward Hooton status in 1871 for me and where they are living?
I hope all this doesn't put Ivanidea off geneolgy-lol.It was a baptism of fire.I've never had a post lke this one before.
I am so greatful to everyone who's helped on this,I simply couldn't have done it without you,especially as I don't have access to Ancestry  and a lot of other data.Even so my cold has meant I've rather stood back and let you all get on with it-sorry
I have that will of Edward Hootons(1777) by the way.He's our Edward's grandather.He and his wife Elizabeth had 2 surviving children,Elizabeth (through whom my direct line goes )and her younger brother Edward who married a Mary Apethorpe on July 10th 1783 in Crowland.They had 2 children to my knowledge.Elizabeth ch 8th Sept 1784 Crowland and our Edward  b Crowland(not sure of his baptism date).From that point the info came from another relative and that's when I contacted Rootschat.I'm going to put my info to them.First I'm going to read all the info they've sent through from their own research ,which might take a few days and I'll get back to you if there's anything of use to us on it.
Bye for now,Talk to you all soon,
Trisha

Towngate Market Deeping

William Rudkin 47 yrs ag lab b Lincs Witham on the Hill
Caroline 43 yrs b Spalding
Mary R Gilbert grandaughter 3 yrs scholar b Market Deeping
Edward Horton father in law widower 82 yrs retired farmer b Deepiong St Nicholas
Robert Richman boarder 22 yrs Primitve Methodist Minister of Towngate Chapel Mkt Deeping b Pinchbeck West
James P Langham visitor 20 yrs Primitive Methodist Minister of New Road Chapel Peterborough b Norfolk Lynn

and to think that we considered some funny shenanigans were going on with Edward- and him with Primitive Methodist Ministers in the house! 

[heywood]

Caroline has 1828 as her birth year through to 1901 (once 1827).

Couldn't see her and William in 1861 and was hopeful that when she was found  Edward and Mary would be with her - but no! Found her as Friedkin  but no E and H.

take care

Hi everyone,
ok standby for this,I've read the notes and all is answered.
You clever things have got it right.
 Mary Wood WAS the mother of Mary Wishlade.
Here's how it goes.

Mary WOOD-b Feb 9th 1792 married to Mr Wishlade Feb 180?(I've asked for a clarifcation on these dates.If it can be proved I'll be astounded,I  still think they were living in sin)
They had 4 children
1/Elizabeth Patience-born Feb 8th 1808
2/Mary-born January 29th 1810
3/Louisa-bornJune 24th 1813
4/Edward -born August 20th 1815

After Mr WISHLADES/WISSLEODS death,Mary was married to Edward HOOTON bc Nov 5th 1777

Their children were:-
1/John b Dec21st 1821
2/Elizabeth-born June 29th 1825
3/Caroline-born Nov 16th 1827
4/Eliza-born Jan 3rd 1829
5/Selena-born May 14th 1831
6/James-born March 28th 1835

This is all written from the perspective of a grandchild of Mary Wood.It goes on to say.
Aunt Mary WISHLADE-her daughter Frances BUCKINGHAM-B mAY 16TH 1832.She had 2 daughters the eldest names Mary b 1860 .The other grandaughters name is Lillie COMER.

Grandmother Mary WOOD WISSLEOD HOOTON(Wissloed seems to be another way of spelling Wishlade) died March 4th 1869 aged 77
Grandfather Edward HOOTON died in the Spring  of 1877 aged 99 years(I think he was actually 89)
Mary WISHLADE died April 6th 1902

If only they'd sent this all earlier
I'm going to put someof the census returns we've found on the group as they don't have them.
Could I have Mary Wishlade's 1881,91 and 1901 returns in full please so I can give it to them?Pity we couldn't find Messrs Hooton and Wood in the 1861 census-never mind.You win some you lose some.
I think what I need to now is harrass someone on the Sussex site and ask for a search on the Eastbourne baptisms for the 2 Mary's.Just to get it from a register and not some 90 year old family bible.
Everybody have a large glass of wine to celebrate .Even I feel a little bit better with the success of it all.

I wish they'd looked after Frances though 

At least she had a roof over her head - poor John was missing for ages.
