1861 census lookup request-COMPLETED

[heywood]

Now... I know that Edward Hooton and Mary Wood have been mentioned as a couple.
IGI has Selena b 1831 as a daughter -submitted by a member and Selena died in Michigan.
This is 'verified ' in 1841 (no relationships given but together as a family).
Edward in this case was born c 1796 so he would be getting on a bit to be having children post 1862 - if that is the assertion.

I think that is what Trisha originally believed - but there is now a second Edward, younger, who married in 1862     

This applies also to Mary -  the "original" Mary, born 1810 Eastbourne - would have been 52 at marriage in 1862 

I think we are safe in saying that the Edward and Mary who married in London in 1862 were not the "original" Edward and Mary 

Plus, Geoff has found (other thread ) Edward aged 82 living with another daughter

This applies also to Mary -  the "original" Mary, born 1810 Eastbourne - would have been 52 at marriage in 1862 

 and she was still in Pinchbeck in 1871 (WITCHLADE).

I think I am following the original Edward and Mary.

Has anyone found Edward and Mary Hooton post marriage in 1862?


IGI has the extracted marriage Edward Hooton and Mary Wishlade or Woods 

[heywood]

There is a marriage 1847 for William Rudkin and Caroline Hooton Westlade/Westlake - presumably variants of Wishlade so this would lead you to think that the children were illegitimate, having Hooton as a middle name. However,she is with Edward and Mary in 1841 - no relationships given.
BUT if these (1841) are the children of Edward Hooton and Mary Wishlade- then are the others Frances et al not?? Frances is on IGI as Wishleat with mother Mary. no father). They are all being born around the same time - and why would Frances be in the workhouse?

Interestingly (if you go for this kind of thing) Selina and Elizabeth were both christened - same day in 1849 - wonder if these were adult baptisms of the same children of 1841 and they were then baptised as Hooton??


Tricia- please look over everything, then when you have sorted it  let us know!

[GeoffE]

They are two distinct batches -
1) children of Edward and Mary at Deeping.
2) children of Mary at Spalding - Frances, John and Bales (died 1839)

Regarding Caroline, father named as Edward HOOTON.  The transcription I have (from the register, not from GRO index) is Caroline Hooton WISHLADE (see Bourne spreadsheet - here http://s10.freefronthost.com/mi/index.html )
My suspicion is that the names were accidentally transposed as the other kids were Wishlade HOOTON.

[heywood]

Thanks Geoff - I'm still struggling.
Do you think that there are two Marys then? It's odd that they are both Wishlade.

Regarding Caroline's marriage though - as she is married with the main surname of Wishlade and the middle name of Hooton that may mean that the parents are not married- do you think?

[GeoffE]

I'm struggling too ... have you seen that submitted IGI entry for Selena HOOTEN 1831?  A total red herring ... or of relevance?

[heywood]

I know  She is in 1841 census with the family; then she is christened (records) in 1849 and as someone has quoted her death in USA - that must be fairly accurate I suppose.
I wondered (I do a lot of that on Rootschat - ponder and wonder  ) if she and Elizabeth were baptised before they were going to be married perhaps ?
