Help with Miriam Burbridge / Alice Ebenezer Burbridge Please

[dee57]

Thank you for trying.  I have been sleuthing for months without success!

I can't find a sniff of them on census either nor deaths/births/remarriages worth mentioning.

The only thing to hopefully rule out is a William Breeze on the criminal registers 1892 for common law forgery because it says "alias Frederick Knight/s"

Sure that won't be him though but gives another name to check under!

I thought we would have found them on a US census if they emigrated there 

I wonder if they crossed over to Canada - as there were more jobs and a lot more Brits and Canada was friendlier to immigrants ....?

Could this be Alice Ebenezer (Fisher Breeze) ?


Death Sept quarter 1875   

FISHER  Alice Ebenezer  28  Nottingham district  Vol 7b Page 214

That looks a very good possibility Tony ...a good find ....the only way of knowing would be to buy that certificate ....if it is her , she has died within weeks of Miriam emigrating ...

Good one Tony.  I wondered about using the name Fisher and there can't be too many ladies called Alice Ebenezer.  Plus the age is right for her.

This is a strong contender and the dates add up re birth! Brilliant lead to follow - thanks - at least a snippet to go on. I am trying to see if William can be found - that might triangulate the area etc and use of name Fisher.

I have continued to look for Miriam this morning - still nothing...

[Milliepede]

Looking for William in the Nottingham area but nothing yet, we don't know how old he was do we or anything else about him?

We know Alice was probably alive in 1871 but where and under what name - too many names to play with 

[Milliepede]

There's an Alice E Fisher wife (no husband with her) age 25 machinist in 1871 Stepney but birthplace down as St Georges borough London.  Clutching at straws really, this one is hard!

This was written about Alice's marriage;

Marriage: 2 Apr 1870 St Matthew, Stretford, Lancashire, England

William Fisher Breeze - of full age Valet Bachelor of This Parish

Alice Ebenezer Burbridge - of full age Spinster of This Parish
    
Groom's Father: William Breeze, Labourer
    
Bride's Father: Richard Burbridge, Plate-layer
    
Witness: Jos Hampson & Miriam Burbridge
    
I can find Miriam in the 1871 Census in Manningham but unable to find Alice and William for this census.

Yes - my family on the Burbridge side are inherently difficult to research; thank you for sticking with it!
