Help with death in Haltham please COMPLETED WITH THANKS
« on: Wednesday 23 May 12 14:44 BST (UK) »
Hi

I am looking for the burial of Dinah Horton who was born in Tumby but lived in Haltham.  She was on the 1861 census living on her own aged 39, a spinster and nurse.  Dinah had two children, Thomas Wilkinson Horton and Hannah Elizabeth Horton who were not with her then. 

I can't find her death, a possible marriage or a census entry after 1861 for her so if anyone has the parish records for Haltham, could they please help with this.

Many thanks

Lindsey

 Hi

There is a marriage for Dinah HAUTON in Horncastle March Q 1864 ref 7a 735 to either Joseph LEEMAN or John SINCLAIR.
I couldn't find her under either of these surnames in 1871 so searched for a death.

Dinah LEEMAN died at Lincoln Mar Q 1866 ref 7a 316 aged 44. 

Howzat?

Hi Geoff and NC

I can't tell you how pleased I am with that information.  I've been going back to this one for about two years!!  Just didn't think of the change in spelling of the name.

Thank you very very much both both of you - Fantastic!!!!

You're right she was - didn't think of that because the family has always been Horton.  I suppose it's a case of them not being able to read and write.  Nevermind, the problem's solved now thanks to you.
