What is her real name?
« on: Tuesday 27 March 12 17:40 BST (UK) »
I am just looking at William Ellingworth on the census.

He was born about 1833 in Oakham, Rutland and is one of my loose ends.

I have followed him on the census and each time he says his wife is called Fanny.

On freebmd for the March quarter of 1846 there is a William Ellingworth marrying an Elizabeth Brown.

Do you think I have the wrong marriage or Fanny is just a pet name?

Never come across this before ???

If he was born in 1833 and married in 1846 - this means he was only 13 when he married  :o

Have you discounted William Ellingworth and Fanny Goodliff, 4th q 1855, Oakham 7a, 579?

Is he with a wife in 1851? If not that eliminates the 1846 marriage anyway.

Added: Are his parents Seth and Ann, if so he is single in 1851.

On the 1861 census Fannys brother is living with them - Tom Goodliff.  So the marriage to Fanny Goodliff would be correct.

I might have my records mixed up a bit.

According to my family tree programme his folks were William and Elizabeth Ellingworth (formerly Dexter).

I had his year of birth down as 1828.  On the census it says 1833.

As I said this is one of my many loose ends and I may have got things a bit wrong ???

Is this is  the family  in 1851

 HO107; Piece: 2092; Folio: 269; Page: 29

Seth Ellingworth   45      Brickmaker's Labr                    Eaton, Leicestershire
Ann Ellingworth   36                                                     Burley, Rutland
William Ellingworth   18       Brickmaker's Labr                  Oakham, Rutland,
James Ellingworth   12                                                     Oakham, Rutland,
Sarah Ellingworth   9                                                        Oakham, Rutland,
John Ellingworth   2                                                        Oakham, Rutland,

A tree on Ancestry has Ann as Elizabeth Springthorpe.

The William married to Fanny had a son called Seth born 1870, which I would think links him to this family.

Familysearch has an extracted record of a William Ellingworth marrying an Elizabeth Eatt 14 Sept 1835 Rutland.

It also has a William Ellingworth marrying Elizabeth Dexter 11 Sept 1820, so perhaps that is where your record came from.

According to my family tree programme his folks were William and Elizabeth Ellingworth (formerly Dexter).

I had his year of birth down as 1828. 

There is a baptism for a William Ellingworth @ Oakham - 30 Mar 1828, s/o William & Elizabeth, abode Oakham, father's occ Labourer.

There are also other children baptised for this couple along with what looks like two other couples by the name Ellingworth baptising children around the same time.

I didn't include them all here in case it just adds to the confusion, but just say if you want them.
