Thank you Prickles.

So where have all the Motlocks disappeared to? Name change?

This one....

1851 England Census

Although this is possibly his birth entry..

about Henry Mortlock Name: Henry Mortlock
Date of registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1843

Is the disappearing Henry the one from 1846, or is there a son of Joseph 1846 called Henry too?

Might there be an error in the year of birth? I have both Henry & Joseph as born about 1846, not impossible, but less than probable?

Joseph's brother Henry's marriage...

Marriages Sep 1859 (>99%)
Barefield Mary Ann Lambeth 1d 435
Mortlock Henry Lambeth 1d 435

Another person who seems to have disappeared is Joseph's son Henry!

That was the problem I had, too many Julias ;-))

Apart from the marriage to Charles Herbert (?) Oxley (?) Chapman (or was it Clements), I have little to go on. What I'm inclined to do is to try and work forward from the other Mortlocks in the tree:

Joseph abt 1829 married Caroline Clements

and his three children:
Henry abt 1846
Joseph abt 1846
Rosa abt 1847 married Francis Thomas Oxley Clements

and his brother:
Henry abt 1816 married Mary A

The two familes are so linked I'd act on a hunch that Julia is in the same line somewhere.

On GR I see a lot of Julias 1850-60 which is my guessed DoB range in Shimpling and /or Clare and/or Chevington all in Suffolk. I'm again guessing that all ten of them are all the same person.

Thanks for checking on the export of Charles!!

Hi Keith

There are lot's of Julia Mortlock's.

Who is your Julia Mortlock Connected to? ....and when and where do you think she was born?

I don't have worldwide subs.....but i will ask someone who does to check out passenger lists for Charles Oxley Clements.

Thank you again, and again, and again! Those three records fit in nicely.

I wonder what happened to Charles Oxley Clements, maybe he emigrated?

What can you find for Julia Mortlock? I've seen the name in Suffolk but there's not enough detail to know if it's relevant.

Have I / we wandered so far from the original topic that I need to start a new thread?

I have yet to find a marriage for Charles Oxley Clements!!

In fact i can't seem to find anything for Charles after the 1841 census.

Sorry but i don't have any information regarding the Stuart/Stewart's.

Well i found the baptism for Jane that i couldn't find earlier!

London, England, Births and Baptisms, 1813-1906
about Jane Axley Clements Name: Jane Axley Clements (Oxley on the image)
Record Type: Baptism
Estimated Birth Date: abt 1833
Baptism Date: 22 Sep 1833
Father's Name: Thomas Oxley Clements (Salesman)
Mother's Name: Sobieske Clements
Parish or Poor Law Union: Southwark St Saviour
Borough: Southwark
Register Type: Parish Registers
Born 22nd Sept 1933
Res: Market Street.

I have an informal family sketch which I'm trying to evaluate, it might be wishful thinking, and it might be serious research.

In it the only parent is "Sobieski Stuart" (could also be Stewart), it's not clear whether this was one person's name or indicates a marriage betwen Sobieski & Stuart.

Thereunder are the siblings:
Catherine
Rose
Jane
Jeremiah
Clementina

In these family sketches I have already found a couple of errors: a member of one cohort being wrongly allocated to another.

The earliest information I have for Clementina is:

C1841 England Census
about Sobieski Clements Name: Sobieski Clements
Age: 40
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1801
Gender: Female
Where born: Surrey, England

Civil parish: St Saviour
Hundred: Southwark
County/Island: Surrey
Country: England

I have no information on her siblings.

It's just possible that Julia Mortlock married Charles Oxley Clements, this may be another case of mixed generations.

Assuming that the surname of these are Stuart then....

Are they also siblings of Sobieski?


When and where were Clementina and her siblings born?

I can't see a Charles Chapman/Juila Mortlock marriage.

fascinating, again no children. Thanks Prickles!

Interesting also to see that bits of what we now call London were separate and parts of Middlesex etc.

And I'd missed that 1851 entry, thanks for pointing that out (again), so that all fits.

Now, can I push a bit further back, please? According to an informal family history, Clementina was part of the Sobieski Stuart family. Her siblings were:
Catherine
Rose
Jane
Jeremiah

Can we find any of them and perhaps confirm / identify the parents?

Jane is at a Girls School with Sister Rosa in the 1841 census and she is with her Mother Sobieski (Sophia) in Jersey in 1851.

Excellent, Prickles, thank you. There's a circumstantial piece of evidence there with Clementine Chapman niece, but is there any way to tie Jane into the family of Clementina Sobieski? I can see Thomas as father but I haven't yet seen Jane on any census putting her "at home wth her parents".

Do you think it would be fair to assume no children from this marriage? I guess Francis might have some from his previous marriage?

You're right about it getting complicated, Prickles, no wonder I was getting confused, thank you again for your help in trying to unravel it.

To make this "stick" I think I need a birth reference for Joseph Mortlock (the one that married Caroline Clements), it seems likely that this would be around 1855 and that would have him marrying a woman 25 years his senior. Not impossible.

How reliable might that marriage record be? If I've got this right, then Joseph 1829 married Caroline (don't now when, guess 1848ish?), but she died 1849 which would leave Joseph 1829 free to remarry - but not in 1843. If the 1843 entry was an error (1853??) then Joseph 1929 could have remarried with Caroline Clements 1826 - aaaarrgh!

Or, are both Josephs and both Carolines the same people. I note that Joseph 1829 married Caroline X, could that have been Caroline Clements in the first place? That would have him marrying in 1843 and his wife dying in 1849. I can't help feeling that the coincidence of names is rather too great (althogh not impossible). This solution is tidier but that doesn't make it right ... I think this was what you deduced too:

So did Francis marry his Sisters daughter?? It would seem so.

Or am I still not getting it?
