is this "my" Isaac Stickland?
« on: Saturday 02 December 23 10:31 GMT (UK) »
My Isaac Stickland was baptised  on 16th June 1793 in Christchurch s/o Thomas - no mother named on baptism record. I can't find any trace of him in Christchurch after that.

But in the 1841 census an Isaac Stickland of the right sort of age pops up as a smith in Carisbrooke IOW. Unfortunately he died before the 1851 census so I have no place of birth apart from Hampshire. In his will of 1846 he names his only child, a daughter called Susanna Matilda Stickland. Susanna married Frederick Arnold s/o James Arnold in 1846 in Carisbrooke. Frederick died in 1847 and Susanna married John Major (inland revenue officer) in 1848.
It looks like Isaac married Maria Wood in Northwood on 12 Jan 1818. It looks like Maria must have died before 1841 census.

Can anyone help prove or disprove that the Isaac on the IOW is my Isaac, please. Note: I have found my family as both Stickland and Strickland

Find A Grave.

Has all the details you have mentioned.  The exception being Christchurch Dorset as a place of birth.

Do you have the marriage certificates for his daughter Susannah?

If so who are the witnesses, the names may provide clues.

Thanks

The researcher who added the details to grave also thinks that Isaac was born in Christchurch. I haven't got certs for either of Susanna's marriages, it's quite a distant relation. I was researching the wider family in the hope of getting a generation further back

I noticed a George Stickland and Ann having children baptised in the 1820's and wondered if they were related as they named a son Isaac. Long shot of course.

Susannah died 1851 so presumably it is a decendant of hers who has added the information, is there a way to get in touch with them to see what they came up with.

 I can't find a death for a Susanna Matilda Kathleen Major in 1851. Where did you find this death please?

My mistake it's Susanna Arnold who died 1851
