Henry Bennett Dykes

[Yorkyboyl]

I am looking for some help with the first wife of this person, please.
  He was born in Nottingham, christened 9/9/1823 at Nottm.  St. Marys, the 1841 census shows him at Heaton's Yard, Newark with Sarah Dykes, age 20 (was this a sister ?). In 1851 he is living in Leeds    with wife Ann, Henry shown age 28, Ann shown age 32, with daughter Jane  age 4, born Leeds.
 Ann is shown born Mansfield, but I have not been able to find any surname or dates etc. Ann died in Leeds in 1853, age 34, before Henry remarried in 1854.
  Any help or info. on Ann would be much appreciated, thanks.

Hello there,
   Thanks for the response.....quicker than expected but very welcome,   so I am looking for an Ann Monks, born Mansfield appx 1819, that narrows things down a bit.
  Thanks again.

Re Henry's family - I can't see any sister called Sarah.  There are 4 baptisms with surname Dykes, including Henry's, on my disc; father George, a painter and glazier, and mother Jane:

1820 12 01      Mary Anne    Lincoln St    NOTTINGHAM St Mary   
1823 09 09      Henry   Parliament St   NOTTINGHAM St Mary   
1826 04 30      Mary Ann   Carlton   GEDLING All Hallows   
1836 04 24      Elizabeth   Clare St   NOTTINGHAM St Mary   

one more with surname listed as Dike:
1833 07 22      George Brewster   Clare St   NOTTINGHAM St Mary   

Marriage in case you need it:
1816 09 03   George   DIKES   Jane   BENNETT   NOTTINGHAM St Mary


Anne's family -- just 2 baptisms, father William, a labourer, and mother Anne:
1816 09 21      George   Forest   MANSFIELD St Peter and St Paul   (MONK)
1818 04 22      Anne   Nr the Race Ground   MANSFIELD St Peter and St Paul   (MONKS)

I can't see a Nottinghamshire marriage for Henry and Ann either ( nor for Anne's parents!)

1841 Census has a William/Mary Monks living in Mansfield;
William MONKS, 60, Butcher, NOT born in County
Mary Monks, 50, born in County
Harriet Cope, 25

FreeREG has a 1832 Marriage Mansfield, for William Monks to Mary Cope. Both Widowed*

Bapt;
Mansfield;
William Munks 29 Dec 1820 to William/Ann ( Father a Butcher)
(FreeREG)

There is a 1802 Marriage also on there William Munks/Ann Bowskill

But if the right Marriage they may have had children elsewhere before moving back to Mansfield?

1841 Census
Mansfield
William Munks   20
Isabella Munks   18
Mary Munks   10 mths
Ann Munks   20****
Robt Hamilton   20
Harriet Hamilton 20
Henry Hamilton   2

FreeBMD has a March 1841 Marriage for William/Isabella

If I have the right William from 1841 Census in 1851 he is born c 1780 Barrowby, Lincolnshire, a Labourer, Wid, Grandfather (hard to read)

EDIT, living with George Munks c 1817 in 1851.

George Bapt 21 Sep 1816 Mansfield to William/Ann (F/S.Org)

[Annie65115]

-- and that George, b "c 1817",may wel be Ann's brother, as per my post above.

[trish1120]

Exactly right as you say Annie5115.
