Kinsett/Kensett & Rhodes of Shipley Parish

[Solway]

Hi Carole,
From information "handed down".

[OneBigFamily]

1891 at Woodside Cottage, in civil parish of Girthon in county of Kirkcudbrightshire, in Scotland
Charles Dabrymple aged 49 born in Gatehouse, Kirkcudbrightshire, occupation Gardener and Forester
Jane Dabrymple aged 49 born in England (so born abt 1841)
Agnes Birtha Dabrymple aged 10 born in England, Scholar
George Adam Gunn aged 22 born in Duns, Berwickshire, Lodger, occupation Bank Teller

Found no UK marriage registrations for Jane Kensett (using soundex) to Charles Dalrymple in period 1871 - 1881.

The 3 UK marriage registrations found for Jane Kensetts in that timefrime were for other males and they were all found in 1881 census with their respective new husbands.

I could not find a marriage for a Charles Dalrymple (with soundex on) to any Jane or Janet even on ScotlandsPeople search facility, between 1870 and 1881.

I could not find a marriage nor a death for the Jane Kensett (born in Shipley, Sussex abt 1841 ish) found in 1851 as daughter of the elderly Philip Kensett (born about 1769). The Jane Kensett born abt 1841 ish in Shipley Sussex was last spotted in St George Hanover Square, London in 1871 as servant).

Searching in Google books for "Jane Kensett" brings up a link to a book which I cannot view:
" The register book of marriages belonging to the parish of St. George ...‎Westminster, England. St. George, Hanover square (Parish) - History - 1888
Page 177
No preview available " - however the search said it could not find exact matches for the expression "Jane Kensett".

My only suggestion is that we could hypothesise that possibly this Jane Kensett did marry somebody in St George, Hanover Square sometime after 1871, and that for some reason the marriage did not get indexed in the England and Wales marriage index.

If you wanted to check original records for St George, Hanover Square you could start a new query in the Rootschat lookup area for Middlesex (including a link to this conversation).  I have a feeling though that these records might only be available at somewhere like Westminster archives or through the church itself.  Worth a try maybe.  Good luck!

The only marriage of a K?ns*t that I could find in St George Hanover Square, though, was for a George Kensett in 1904.

Another option would be to obtain a copy of the birth registration for Agnes, unless you have seen it already.  This would be ultimate confirmation that the maiden-name of her mother that you are looking for definitely is Kensett.

England & Wales, FreeBMD Birth Index, 1837-1915
Name: Agnes Bertha Dalrymple, Year of Registration: 1880, Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
District: Chorlton, County: Lancashire, Volume: 8c, Page: 812

Thanks One Big Family for your massive effort and time expended on my behalf!  I obviously have a lot to learn on tracing family history but will start by trying to obtain the birth certificate for Agnes Bertha to learn of her mother and take things from there.
Your advice and assistance and that of CaroleW is very much appreciated.
Thanks again to both of you.

It would be interesting to hear the result after you get the certificate.

Will do.  Thank you.

Well done Omega!

James Botting, the witness, of course was Philip Kensett's brother in law.
