John Prissick
« on: Monday 25 April 16 12:00 BST (UK) »
I'm getting rather tangled with the story of John Prissick, born in Hull in 1827.  I know that he died in 1909.  And I know that he was married in 1907.  There is a marriage to Catherine in 1863, but she seems to have died in 1900.  She was certainly his wife in 1881; the census gives John's occupation as compositor, which we know to be right.  The 1901 census (which I can't access) suggests he was not married.  He entered the Hull Charterhouse in 1902, and a wife wasn't, and would not have been recorded.  But, as I say, a letter to the local paper states that in 1907, when he was admitted to a mental hospital, he had a wife aged 78 to whom he had been married for 53 years.  There is a record of a marriage of a John Prissick in Sculcoates in 1852, but to a Rebecca or Ann. 
I can't find a re-marriage between Catherine's death and 1907.  Could the 1901 census help?  Or can anybody suggest a solution?

The marriage in 1852 has a bride missing - 3 male names and 2 female names - so the missing bride could be Catherine **

Maybe the information from 1907 was confused  :-\

** Sorry you said he married Catherine in 1863.

The Newspaper article when he was admitted to the Charterhouse gives address as Walmsley Street which ties in with the address on the 1901 Milliepede has given

rosie99, I assume that's the report of the council appointing him to a room.  Many thanks.  It wouldn't have been recorded if he brought a "wife" with him.  So it still seems that the letter-writer was confused.  So am I.  Charterhouse records show that he wasn't removed permanently until February 1908, a year before he died.
Ah well, thanks to both of you for your help.

Thanks, Rosie, I clearly missed that one when I did my trawl in December.

And thanks, Angie, but it doesn't change the puzzle.

John prissick was my great  grandfather and he was born in 1826 and died in 1909. He was married twice to Ann marshall in 1852 and Catherine Fell in 1863. He was a printer compositor for the HDM and lived in Vane st Hull. On retirement he became a newsagent in Walmsley st. He was admitted to the charterhouse in 1902 but had a fall and sustained a head injury and discharged to the Willerby asylum in 1906, he returned to the charterhouse but unfortunately had suicidal tendencies and returned to the asylum in 1908 and died there in 1909. His first wife died in 1861 and his second wife in 1900. There is no record of a third and so I think the HDM report about a wife being thrown out was in error. He might have had a g/f but I doubt it at 80 yo.
