Hannah Maria PARDOE b. 1848 in Lye

[Benody1921]

I'm trying to find a connection between Hannah Maria Pardoe, a milliner and/or dressmaker from Lye, and a Sarah Elizabeth Whiting, a milliner from Leighton Buzzard.

My great-grandad was born 28 Aug 1883 and his birth was registered as Henry Whiting Stuart in Luton, Bedfordshire to Elizabeth Stuart, formerly Whiting (though not actually married). Sometime later he became George Harry Dunn from Wollescote, son of Edwin Dunn and Betsy Brooks. I don't know how he got from Luton to Wollescote but I do know Betsy Brooks and Hannah Maria Pardoe were first cousins. I wonder if H.M. knew S.E. Whiting and when SE had to give up George HM suggested her childless cousin?

I'm having trouble finding Hannah Maria Pardoe on the 1881 Census and the 1901 Census. I did find a Hannah M. Pardoe but the age is wrong as this one was born in 1860. However, I checked the GRO Index from years 1858-1862 and there were no Hannah Pardoe births registered. I wonder if this one is her: https://www.ancestry.ca/interactive/7572/WORRG11_2876_2879-0775?pid=23343081&backurl=https://search.ancestry.ca/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv%3D1%26dbid%3D7572%26h%3D23343081%26tid%3D72626097%26pid%3D330054965998%26usePUB%3Dtrue%26_phsrc%3DpBQ17078%26_phstart%3DsuccessSource&treeid=72626097&personid=330054965998&hintid=&usePUB=true&_phsrc=pBQ17078&_phstart=successSource&usePUBJs=true&_ga=2.70339856.1823065215.1577301712-964746141.1558553763#?imageId=WORRG11_2876_2879-0776

Your Ancestry Canada link doesn't work for me. There's a bit of a lack of info about dates which isn;t helping me - so why do you think the Hannah you are after is b around 1858?

I wonder if this is the Hannah you seek, given the Brooks connection?

Yes that's the Hannah I'm after. She was born 1 Oct 1848. The one on the census is down as Hannah M. Pardoe born about 1860 in Stourbridge, a milliner. I wonder if the age on the census was a mistake and the age given was wrong, whether intentionally or unintentionally. The one on the census was a visitor so perhaps the person given the information didn't know her age. I don't know. It just seems strange that I can't find her in the 1881 census and then there's this younger woman but no birth registered for her.

Might this be the younger one, if her age is slightly out in 1881?

Think she married a Mr Tibbetts in Stourbridge district in 1894 - if so her place of birth is Brierly Hill

She appears to be the daughter of John and Hannah Pardoe - may be listed on 1871 as Ann M

There is potentially a Wolescote connection
