1851 Census - Martha TIMBS - Stony Stratford area
« on: Friday 02 September 16 11:59 BST (UK) »
Drawing a blank trying to find Martha TIMBS on the 1851 Census.  In 1841 she was in Cosgrove listed as a Draper aged 55 years.  In 1837 1847 when she wrote her Will she was in Old Stratford.  She died in September qtr 1856 Potterspury Registration District which covers Stony Stratford, Old Stratford from memory I think is within that parish.

Can anyone find me Martha on the 1851 Census please?  I suspect her birthplace will be down as Naseby (one of her sister's definitely listed it as that).  I've tried using keywords including Martha, Draper, and Naseby to no avail.  She should be down as widowed as her husband died in 1832.

Thanks

Nicola

Thanks Sugarbakers, Liz and Willow.  I've just found her after SB's post as Timby on both Ancestry and FindMyPast.  The soundex search on FindMyPast didn't pick her up for obvious reasons and as she's indexed as born 1790 I must have just missed her.  I see she's listed as a Grocer so that will have been another reason why she didn't appear in the results for me previously.

I agree Liz, I think the age is 69 rather than 60, which would tie in with my suspicions that she was probably one of the older siblings.  Burial or Death Cert would probably confirm this.  Can't find baptisms for her or her 4 siblings in Naseby or anywhere else in Northamptonshire.  Waiting impatiently for FindMyPast to release the Leicestershire PRs but disappointingly a post on the RO's website from last month says not being released now until "from Spring 2017" (previously FindMyPast had apparently said by the end of this year according to Lost Cousins). :-\

Thanks very much. ;D 

I've had a very successful morning finding confirming a hunch I've had for a few years but can't find the documentary proof to confirm it.  Great when you are proven correct finding a marriage that led to a Will with more confirming details. :D
