Phoebe Figg!
« on: Tuesday 16 January 18 13:18 GMT (UK) »
Hello everyone it's been a while but I need help or even just thoughts!

I have a phoebe Figg born in 1841 Aylesbury with parents James Figg and Lydia!

Now thanks to the new gro search I've found a birth that I believe to be my phoebe with the mothers maiden name price!

A lot of trees online have her mother as a Lydia Hawkins? I've searched and found indeed a James Figg married a Lydia Hawkins but! I think this Lydia was indeed a Price and this was a second marriage.

I am waiting for the phoebe figgs birth cert I found to be sent and see if this can shed any light but I just want to see if anyone else can look and maybe see there thoughts? There is another child called Sarah Susanna Figg born a couple of years before her but that child appears to be registered with the mothers maiden name as  Hawkins!! I just need to make sure there's not two couples of these names or in fact it's the same couple!   Thank you!

According to the 1851 census, if this is the right family:

HO107; Piece: 1721; Folio: 63; Page: 6

James Figg   48
Lydia Figg   52
Richard Figg   18
Susanah Figg   12
Pheby Figg   9

So it looks as if they were sisters.

FIGG, SARAH  SUSANNA     HAWKINS  1838  S Qtr in AYLESBURY  Volume 06  Page 313
FIGG, PHEBE       PRICE      1841  D Qtr in AYLESBURY  Volume 06  Page 320


1841 census https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M7QJ-J1N (Lydia is getting on a bit for sprogging!)

"I've searched and found indeed a James Figg married a Lydia Hawkins" WHEN did this marriage occur?

So it looks as if it was a second marriage for Lydia? Could be a simple mistake on the registration. Maybe when she registered Susannah she was asked for a previous name so answered "Hawkins" but when she registered Phoebe she was asked for the name she was born with, so answered "Price"

I'd sit back until Phoebe's birth certificate turns up.
There's no contrary information from the 1841/1851 which is going to rule out Lydia being a widow.
Does the 1824 image of the marriage give her a widowed status?

That's what I'm hoping for groom!! A lot of people have give her the name Hawkins and have gone further back with this name but I'm just unsure with Phoebes birth saying Price!

It only has the transcription and doesn't say! Where would I be able to get a copy or view it?

No idea. I don't have FindMyPast, so don't know what dataset it is, nor where it took place.

Buckingham family history society may have an inkling if you look up date/place on their website
