Help! Susan Hernden, Grimsby.

[shell2803]

I can find no record of my great grandmother's birth. I have my grandmothers birth certificate Clarice Harding born Leicester 1928. Her father was Harry Harding (found his family). Her mother states Susan Chase formerly Hernden, born Grimsby abt 1891. I have found both marriage references both to Sidney Chase in Caistor and my great grandad Harry Harding in Caistor. But nobody knows who Susan's mum and dad were or where the Hernden name came from? Can anyone please help. There were rumors in the family that he came from Goa? but I'm not sure and have no one left in the family to ask. Also I can not afford to buy the marriage certificates as her father might not be on them.

Any help would be brilliant.

Marriage entry 1890 James Hernden to either Emily Mary Plumpton or Sarah Tarrell   -  Page 0774 Vol 7a Jan-March qtr 1890 at Caistor, Lincolnshire . Possible parents for Susan ?

Trying to see if I can find anything in the 1901 census ....

No luck .. sorry.  I was hoping to find the family together in the 1901 census.

[Sharon01]

I can not find them either.

Thank you so much to you both. I signed up for Ancestry.co.uk ages ago and susan/susanna Hernden's birth isn't even on there?

Any other bits of info would be gratefully received. It's an absolute mystery to me. I did find a death reference to a James Hernden a year after Susan was born, don't know if it's her dad or not. Don't know how he died.

Thank you again

I think maybe mother Sarah remarried in 1894 to Arthur Stowers.

1901 census has a Susie H Stowers living Great Grimsby

RG13/Piece 3090/Folio 168/Page 18

 A possibility to think about.

That would explain (if it is the same James) why he is not on the 1901 census, but it does not explain why susan(na) isn't -  it's a mystery as to where she is?  I really do feel (and I know it's more expense) that your only option is to get her birth certificate.  I can see a marriage for a Sarah Ann Hernden in 1894 to either Herbert Green or Arthur Stowers at Caistor, Lincolnshire  Vol 7a page 0968 Jan-March qtr

I wonder is little susan(na) with her mum in 1901 and is she using a different surname.....?
Is this a second marriage for Sarah ?
Sharon01.. shall we see if we can find anything on the 1901....

You found it ...
