1851 census lookup request-COMPLETED

[ivanidea]

Dear Trish

Hope this is of some help!

1851 England Census
(Transcribed on Ancestry as Edward Harton but looks like “Hooton” to me!)
Halfway House, Deeping Fen, Deeping St Nicholas
Edward Hooton, Head, Mar., age 58, Farm 8 acres & Publican, born, Crowland, Lincoln
Mary Do, Wife, Wife, Mar., age probably 57 but could be 54, born Eastbourne, Sussex
James Gadsby, Lodger, Unm., age 60, Ag. Lab., born Spalding, Lincoln
James Cook, Lodger, Unm., age 30, Ag. Lab., born Corby, Lincoln

Apologies if you already have the info.

Welcome ivanidea a good find!

So we have
2 Edward HOOTONs
2 Marys from Eastbourne
HOOTONs called WISHLADE
WISHLADEs called COOK WOOD
HOOTON marrying WISHLADE or COOK WOOD

(I used to think Eilleen's lookups were tricky)

Think I'll go and lie down in a darkened room

I am stuck for words 

Geoff were does Cook come into this - don't tell me I have missed something of great importance here 

I too am going to a darkened room Mum -

I keep thinking of questions and thoughts and hysteria is setting in -
did they lead double lives ? 
are there really two sets of them? 
why was poor Frances in the workhouse? (that really bothers me) 
where is Mary Wishlade's son in 1841? 
will I ever sleep tonight- the darkened room beckons!

Goodnight everyone- come on Trisha find something out please!

[GeoffE]

Geoff were does Cook come into this - don't tell me I have missed something of great importance here 

Perhaps I meant WOOD    I guess it was seeing that newly-found COOK lodger in 1851.

[heywood]

I thought that but then wondered if that was Mary's son too - can't remember if he is James or John but think it's John!

Isn't it a strange case though - see what transpires today!

[GeoffE]

Can you find this one in 1861?

Deaths Mar 1869
HOOTON    Mary    (77)    Bourn    7a   214

[heywood]

several Mary Hootons but none born 1792 +/- 5 yrs

3 variants within that year range but none close/suitable!

A  very quick summary (yet another!)
1841 Mary Hooton not born in county - Mary Wishlade not born in county  is with or next to Walthams
1851 both born Eastbourne -Edward with Mary and also with family

children of Edward Hooton and Mary Wishlade - married with Wishlade name
1862 marriage- Edward Hooton and Mary Wishlade (Free BMD)  but on Family Search -extracted is Mary Wishlade or Woods

St Pancras figures with Mary Wishlade and her daughter's marriages so perhaps that is the clue together with Edward and Mary's marriage certificate which Trisha says she has access to.
They both married at Old Church St Pancras

[GeoffE]

1841 Mary Wishlade not born in county  is with or next to Walthams - and she stayed with WALTHAMs till at least 1871

St Pancras figures with Mary Wishlade and her daughter's marriages - with her daughters perhaps, but not with her - she stayed in Pinchbeck
