Did George Daniel MANSFIELD really exist

[Ashtone]

Elizabeth Mansfield b 1846 who was a domestic servant too in 1861 then I lose sight of her

1871 census --
There's an Elizabeth Mansfield (born 1843 Liverpool) in Everton. She's an unmarried "small wares dealer".
No one else in the household. Address: 89 Prince Edwin Street, Everton

Thank you
I'm on a roll now as the family she was working for in 1861 for  William SHENTON
* He had sons John age 15 & William aged 10

There are 3 DNA matches to people with SHENTON surnames
I think this is worth following up

[brigidmac]

Ashton i can't find the census 1871 on ancestry maybe it's mistranscribed .
It's a possibility tho a few years older .

The SHENTON lead didn't pan out either .

Back to the drawing board

[brigidmac]

His wife was living with John Davis as married from 1901  but they didn't actually marry until 1928

So maybe that's when George D Mansfield died

[brigidmac]

Up date as the other topic has not been moved to English boards & the topics have not been merged

From a DNA match I believe that George's grandparents are Edward MANSFIELD 1810-1882
& His first wife Ann Barker
8 children 3 girls survived to adult hood Mary 1834  Elizabeth 1846 Louisa 1852  ( too young to be George Mansfield s father but DNA match is thru her daughter Ruby KEARY .

Edward married Ann's sister Louisa BARKER in 1853 and had 6 more
children)

Mary Mansfield is age 7 on 1841

Elizabeth age 5 with family in 1851
Probably domestic servant with SHENTON family 1861 in Everton.
& Maybe in Everton alone ass a small trades dealer in 1871

I.presume one of them is George s mother

There is a DNA link to  connection to Frances Mansfield B 1858 (maybe in India)
Who lived in Scotland

The locations don't connect but Frances is a name used by descendants .

Found a George Mansfield age 5 born India middle initial hard to decipher ... ancestry says P  could be something else

Living with widowed  grandmother
Mary Coxe in Hove Sussex

[Dundee]

Mary Elizabeth COX of 46 Ventnor Villas died in 1879.  Her headstone at St Andrew's Old Church (since removed) stated that she was the widow of Major George COX of the Bengal Army.

Administration of her will was to Claudine Cordelia Emma SCOTT, daughter, and wife of Archibald Campbell SCOTT of Stanley Villa, Teddington, Middlesex.

Archibald died soon after and Claudine (born c1850 India) and her children are in Teddington in 1881.  They married in Sussex in 1867.

Thanks ;
another daughter Louisa Carolina Alberta Cox married William Henry CRAWFORD in 1886 then BURNETT

I've found a tree on ancestry where George COXE and Mary Elizabeth PROUD had 3 other daughters too

Married Surnames HARRIS .Holberton Phillips

Their son married Elizabeth OWENS
So George MANSFIELD doesn't seem to be a grandchild of Mary Coxe

Several of the grandchildren were in school in England 1851 + 1861
