Find Ancestors

Hi all,
I hope someone can help, I have looked at all the sites recommended here, and cant find any concrete details (after the baptism at St Mary the Virgin, Blackburn, Lancashire, England ) of:
Hannah Bibby b1831 Daughter of John (b1803-d1852) and Betty(b1807-d1869 nee Saterthwaite, amongst various spellings!).
Any marriages I have found don't seem to tally in the 1871 Census, and I can't find any death details either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you
Gina and Dafydd

Where?

Do you know who she married? You won't find a death unless you know her married name.

no, i have checked up on about 4 or 5 different possibilities all the way up to the 1890s, but the just dont check out when looking at the subsequent census

as David says, we need a location to be able to help

sorry - just added it to the original post - i forgot!

Have you found her in the 1841 census with parent(s)?

Is this her?

Just so there's an indication she survived past 1837!

She disappeared before 1851

Well that's a whole different family from the one I had in 1841!

Gina, maybe you would let us know who her siblings were and whether you have her/them in 1841, 1851 ... and provide the census info here?

Gina,

I have come across a few Hannah/Nancy combinations, I wonder if that is her on the 1851 census YOB about right..........My nans sister was baptised Hannah and known all her life as Nancy.

Ann

NANCY BIBBY

Event(s):
Birth:
13 OCT 1833
Christening:
27 OCT 1833 Clayton Street Wesleyan, Blackburn, Lancashire,
Parents:
Father: JNO. BIBBY
Mother: BETTY

Gina you say she is baptised 1831. Could that child have died? And a second Hannah born 1833? Hannah, Annie, Ann, Nancy, Nanny - all the same up in Lancashire, I've got dozens of them. And baptised at St Mary the Virgin too.

So Nancy in 1851 found by David could be Hannah, Thomas and Henery having left home. Wonder where dad was in 1841? Perhaps not married then.

HANNAH BIBBY

Christening:
18 SEP 1831 St Mary-The-Virgin, Blackburn, Lancashire, England

Parents:
Father: JOHN BIBBY
Mother: BETTY

Her siblings were;
Joshua 1826, MAry 1828, Nancy 1833, sarah 1837, George 1839, Joseph 1841, margaret 1843, thomas 1845, john 1846, william 1847

If the Elizabth in 1841 weren't married, she wouldn't likely be married and Bibby in 1851. ;)

It would be very useful if Gina would tell us what she does know about her Hannah and the family.

-- Oops, crossed in the post.

So it is the 1851 household in the post above.

Do you have that household in 1841?

Its possible the child died, but i cant find her on teh freeBMD or on the lancashire records at http://www.lan-opc.org.uk

Yeah that looks reasonable. Check out the other kids for the same christening place on familyhistory or lan-opc (which you've clearly used). No, Janey, it could be the same family in 1841 and 1851. with an age tweak and father missing. We shall see...

I don't know about Lancashire records, but it would not be unusual for a young child's death not to be registered in the early days of registration.

In case you missed my post/edit on the previous page -- do you have the household in 1841???

Meg, my 1841 household had no Sarah or George, both of whom would have been born by 1841 ...

Could this possibly be the household in 1841 in Blackburn?
