Parent Identification needed for Lavinia Hicks
« on: Tuesday 28 March 23 15:26 BST (UK) »
Lavinia Hicks born: 21 May 1873, Great Preston, near Allerton Bywater. Trying to find the Christian name of her mother. Mothers Surname was Roberts. Father was John Hicks, 1835-1905, a widower in 1881. I think I need a look-up for the burial of her mother which may be in the church records of  St, Mary the Less, Allerton Bywater. If this fails, then churches in Castleford or Pontefract. The burial date should be between 1873 & 1881 & her age at death, late 30's to late 40's. Have not found any marriage record & she is not in census' 1861 or 1871. Thank you, Adjer.

Looks like John Hicks and Ann Roberts married on 4 December 1854 in Dudley, Worcestershire. Both their fathers are called Richard.

Ann is with her parents and 2 daughters in 1861:

Thanks very much Queenie for your valuable help. I now have her 1st name & early history. I did have
her Dudley marriage in my research file but mentally rejected it as wrong. Unfortunately I still cannot find the date & place of her death. Adjer.

There is an Ann Hick aged 39 registered Pontefract, March quarter 1876 or is that the wrong area?

I was thinking the same thing. There is a little snippet in the newspaper (On the 10th inst., aged 39 years, Ann Hicks, Castleford.), but no husband named, unfortunately. The death certificate would be required to know for sure.

Thanks to amondg &  QueenoftheWest for finding the death of Ann Hick 1876 Pontefract. I am confident that this is correct.
I searched using FamilySearch but could not find it. I entered "Yorkshire West Riding" in their search engine. I now find it does find it if I enter just "Yorkshire".  Thanks, Adjer.
