Radwell Old Weston Huntingdonshire
« on: Friday 07 January 11 00:21 GMT (UK) »
Any Help would be most Gratefull

I am Searching for information on my grandfathers gt gt Grand mother Mary Radwell

She Married A Thomas Radwell Born abt 1849 Old Weston Huntingdonshire and seems that either her maiden name was Radwell Or FreeBMD Made a error unsure

Married Dec Quarter 1879 District Thrapston

On 1881 census

Thomas and Mary Have A Daughter Mary Martha And Mother Mary Is Stated as 36 and born 1845 Old weston Huntingdonshire

By 1901 Mary had died and Thomas Remarried A Rose Pettite and Thomas and Mary Son  Henry Radwell Born 1884 Kettering Northamptonshire Who is my Direct Link and he is  with Father and Step Mother

The Reason For The help is that I can Not find a Mary Radwell born 1845 Old weston in any census before marriage so looked free Bmd for a birth for Mary Radwell between 1840 and 1860 all district and Only 3

2 Registered for March Quarter 1840 but one  Luton and the other st Albans so don't seem Likely
and  the 3rd is for a Mary Radwell But 1858 Thrapston

Any Help would be Very much Appreciated

First thing that strikes me is there is a 4yr old daughter in 1881 - but they only married 1879 so suspect Thomas was married previously - probably in 1875 to Susan Laxton

Susan died in Thrapston June qtr 1879

It's possible that Mary was previously married to another Radwell so you would need a copy of the 1879 marriage cert to see what her marital status was at that time and who her father was.  That will give you her maiden name

There is no error on freebmd - the full GRO index shows her as Radwell

The only census entry that matches her name and birthplace is 1861 - but birthyear was 1858 and parents were James & Hannah
