Anyone found Rose Ann's birth (or death?)

A possibility for her in Hull, 1901:

Parents: John 58 & Fanny 52,
Siblings: Beatrice E 15, Charles H 11, Arthur 9

Birth: Rosanna Hawksley, 1884, Hull, Jan-Mar, 9d/295

[Jomot]

Possible death ?

It looks like Robert Jr was placed in an orphanage:

Whitby Gazette 06 December 1884
The following DONATIONS have been received towards the relief of the widow of Robert Peacock who was lost in the fishing boat Flying Spray, in the storm off Whitby, on Saturday, 27th September,  1884:-
(list of donations totalling £25 3s)

And towards the expense of placing Robert Corner, the only child of Robert Corner, in the Hull Orphan Home
(list of donations totalling £10 16s 6d)

the Isabella Corner who married Alfred Showler was the daughter of another Robert Corner, there's a marriage notice in the online newspapers.

I can't find a corresponding marriage, but this family has a couple of points that match, writing on the census not very clear

Thomas Tunley head mar 34 engine driver b.Briley Hill, Staffs
Isabel wife 34 b Whitby, Yorks

death reg Thomas Tunley 34 june qtr 1893 Middlesbro vol 9d pg 349

1901 census Lily Tunley is in Stokesley, where the Foxton family are in some census years. Her birth cert would confirm mother's maiden name
Lily Tunley Middlesbro sept qtr 1887 vol 9d pg 522

There's a possible marriage june qtr 1899 for Isabella Corner to William Henry Smith Middlesbro vol 9d pg 1065 (the other 2 people on the page are together on the 1901 census) & then vaguely possible census

Hi All thanks for the reply's!

I did think she probably would of got married again, i'm unsure to as why her son would of been put in a home but then again some of her own siblings seemed to disappear when there mother died and they weren't with there father or any of the older siblings. I'm still unsure if Isabella's parents even married as no one has ever been able to find a DOB for her mother we're still not 100% sure what her maiden name is and yet we have certificates for some of the children and wedding certs where she is mentioned and her name differs!!

The family don't appear on any census till 1871 so there very census shy indeed yet they appear handfulls of times in the papers for wrong doings.

Great work Osprey - the Isabel[la] with Thomas Tunley looks really good, and perhaps this is why there is no marriage to be found:

Daily Gazette for Middlesbrough 29 February 1884
This (Friday) morning at the Middlesbrough Police Court, before Mr C.J. Coleman (Stipendiary), Thomas Tunley was sent to gaol for a month with hard labour for deserting his wife and family and leaving them chargeable to the Middlesbrough Union.

I can't seem to find the census you mentions with Lily on where she's in Stokesley? Can you tell me what Foxton's appear on there and maybe i could see if they fit in with mine

Parents: John 58 & Fanny 52,
Siblings: Beatrice E 15, Charles H 11, Arthur 9

There is a baptism which does not match these entries 
Born 5 April 1889 and baptised on the 17th -Rose Ann Hawksby dtr of John & Sarah Ann (Dickinson) of 45 Station Street, Middlesbrough

There's a marriage registered march qtr 1880 Middlesbro vol 9d pg 739 for Thomas Tunley which could account for the deserted wife. He married Harriet North & they're living with his parents in 1881. There's a death reg for Harriet Tunley aged 28 march qtr 1889 vol 9d pg 385.
