Wouldn't your Mary's marriage certificate establish her father's name?    That would be half the battle to find her parents.  When and where did she marry?

Also, have you checked the 1901 census, just in case she was missed off the 1891 or out of county?  Have you also followed all her children in case she turns up, for example, living with a married daughter and recorded by mistake under the daughter's married name?

In reply to the last two posts :

(a) Mary Atkinson (maiden name) married Rowland Nicholson Q2 1855, registered in Kendal.

(b) I have just checked all the children in 1891 and 1901 - Mary Nicholson is not with any of them.

Yes, of course I could get the marriage certificate for Mary to show her father. She is not that close to me and the fun of genealogy to me is the detective part. It's impossible, financially, to obtain certificates for these very, very, very distant relations.


Thanks to all for your continued interest in this thread.

Hi,

I found this marriage here,

http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html

Rowland NICHOLSON   
Mary ATKINSON
22 April 1855
Kendal, Westmoreland
Groom's father:   John Nicholson
Bride's father:    James ATKINSON


This could be her in 1851,


1851  HO107/ 2441  f.301  p.10  Dillicar, Westmorland  (Registration district: Kendal, Sub-registration district: Ambleside)
Dilicar
Lower F??  Holme

ATKINSON
James      Head    49    Farmer 24 acres    Yorkshire Sedburgh
Elizabeth   Wife    43                                     "            "
Mary        Daur    16                                     "            "
Thomas     Son    12                                     "    Dilicar
Jonathan   Son     5                                      "        "


and in 1841,


1841  HO107/1161/3  f.5  p.5  Kendal, Westmoreland    (Registration district: Kendal, Sub-registration district: Grayrigg)
Township: Dillicar
Low Fleet Holme

James       40    Farmer    No
Elizabeth   33                 No
Thomas      2                 Yes
Mary          6                 No


The page before has High Gill and Beck Foot on it :)



The only Dillicar I can find on a map is SW of Sedbergh so I don't think it's the right one, this page says Dillicar is NW of Kendal, so I don't think it is the same

http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/place/place_page.jsp?p_id=3513



I think this could be it,

"Dillaker... Adjoining to lambrigg on the East, is the hamlet of Dillaker; of which we have met with no particular account"

Thank you Daisy.

This looks promising info, and new to me.

Certainly looks like the correct marriage, with Mary's father a JAMES. Wow !

I have to pop out for an hour or so, I'll review the info later.

Thanks again.

I reviewed the info.

It's perfect. This definately sorts out the parentage of Mary.

Thank you so much Daisy.

The thread had gone off track slightly in so much as I originally wanted to find the death of Mary Atkinson but now my other problem, regarded her parentage is solved.

Many thanks again.
