Tammy married her daughter off - ELLINgTON Family

[lizdb]

Has anyone a second marriage for Thomasin, if the youngest is a wilkinson, then it must be around 1837?

The Wilkinson son could be Francis's from a previous marriage.

I cant see a post-1837 for Thomas Ellington and Francis Wilkinson
Which implies it was either pre 1837, OR they didnt actually marry (probably if either of their previous spouses were still alive)

Thanks Lizdb

Ages seem to bonce around a bit between 1841 & 1851? I notice Francis has gained 20 yrs and Thomasine 15 , whereas in fact Thomasine would have been 38 on the first and 48 on the second.

Thomasine's marriage to Henry George Ellington was 16th Dec 1821 at Littleham Church Near Exmouth Devon  and was reported in 'the Exeter Flying Post' and is on Devon Marriages - Transcripts (for the records). Last Ellington child - Peter, was born 1834, so they must have been living somewhere up to 1834, if she was widowed then 1833 can be the earliest.

Losses at sea at that epoch were very high, so I jumped to that conclusion, but I don't know.

Another pointer to where and what happened, might be the fact that Tammy herself died and was buried at Holy Trinity Church in 1834  Sunderland record No. 466231.2 - at the time she was living in South Moor Street Bishopwearmouth ( maybe with daughter ). As far as I know Tammy's husband ( Thomas Goodsir died in 1831 in Whitby - still to be comfirmed by Cleveland.

For moment searched all death at sea possibles and nothing - Help !is there an Ellington in the house!! who might know more?

Have just been given : Henry George Ellington's death on 14th June 1896, age 69 YRS - now this

would fall in with the birth of the son in 1827, if he was baptised as Henry George -

could that be looked up please?  _ Other info is that he was a Labourer and lived at 31

Hopper Street Bishopwearmouth, service by  - Rev.W.Budgen - buried in consecrated ground

Yes, Isabella is wrong - I feel it is actually Sarah (as opposed to a new wife) and that the enumerator may have made a mistake when writing up the schedule in his book.

It's not uncommon for an "ordinary" mariner - master or not, to take on a regular civilian occupation after 'retiring' from the sea.

Hi John

Here's Lavinia - well, I'm 99.99% certain it's her; I  can't find the marriage of her & Joseph.
Lavinia's age is all over the place! Joseph's is not much better - and his birthplace  meanders around also, though he goes full circle from 1851 to 1881.

CENSUS 1851:  Front Street, Village of Spittal, Northumberland
HO107 / Piece  2421 / Folio  245 / Pg  4

Dau: Thominson WILSON 4, Scholar, b Spittal, Northumberland
Son: James WILSON 1,b Spittal, Northumberland
Wife's Sister: Emma J WILKINSON 10, Scholar, b Sunderland (South), Durham
Note: Emma J would be the Jane age 1 in the 1841 WILKINSON census - her birth probably:
as Emma Jane WILKINSON - Sep Qtr 1840 Sunderland


CENSUS 1861: Coble Dean,  Chirton, Tynemouth
RG 9 /  Piece  3838 /  Folio  83 /  Pg  54

Son: James WILSON 12, Scholar, b Scotland
Son: Henry Geo. WILSON 9, Scholar, b Scotland
Son: Thomas WILSON 6, Scholar, b Scotland
Note: Probably the enumerator making a transcript error reading  re: the pob for the children!

Thanks Ambly

That great, and I am sure you are right, about his retirement job - I am just having a break from painting the window surrounds - my North East Collier time was long ago. Since I am painting white on white I had better get back to it before I loose where I was!!!! will give it my full attention later and come back on it.

That really is excellent thanks again - oh now I've got paint on the Keys !!

Best

John

     Hope the painting going well and most of it going where it ought!

Ages seem to bonce around a bit between 1841 & 1851? I notice Francis has gained 20 yrs and Thomasine 15 , whereas in fact Thomasine would have been 38 on the first and 48 on the second....Transcripts (for the records). Last Ellington child - Peter, was born 1834, so they must have been living somewhere up to 1834, if she was widowed then 1833 can be the earliest.

Hello John,

Erm ... are you sure Peter was born 1834?

If, from the census, well .... "ages seem to bonce around a bit" as you say.

If, from the Bishops' Transcripts, suggest that you double check whether that is, in fact, birth year or baptismal year. Why? Because if Peter was actually born a little bit earlier, I would suggest the Sunderland Cholera Epidemic of 1831 as a *possible* cause for Henry's disappearance.

Cheers,
Westoe
