Find Ancestors

Cumbria Record Office and Local Studies Library, Barrow, 140 Duke Street, Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria LA14 1XW. Holdings include: Births register (1866-1948); Deaths register (1866-1916); Punishments register (1874-1923); etc


Above are the records held for Ulverston workhouse, as you can see...births fall correctly for Agnes.........maybe she was born there??

I went through workhouse records for my area and gained a wealth of info from them, however the above holdings are quite small in comparison, but def worth asking re Agnes, as it may have details of her mother and her circumstances which led to her being taken in.

If this uis your Agnes we have found! lol

Thanks Catherine ......

In 1881 she is a boarder so not with parents.
Try the 1871 census, she would only be a baby.

Have not posted all the above census as it is huge, looks like the 1881 posted maybe the same Agnes as this 1871 census. The nearest birth is the 1870 date..........so not too far out.....which often happens on death certs and grave inscriptions......depending on who the informant was.

Ann - this is very interesting many thanks i will research later when i can confirm i am on the right track..... Thanks

Many thanks all, I will order relevant certificates so i can work out if Agnes has any sibblings who may have living descendants .. ;)

Mark, you should be able to find her in the 1891 and 1881 census if you widen the birth year range. Those records seem to have her birth as 1870/1

The district Ormskirk is in the county of Lancashire

Was the marriage in 1901 her first?
or was Picthall her maiden name.

There are no entries for 1868 in that name.

This is the nearest

Births Mar 1870
Picthall Agnes Jane - Ulverston 8e 717

But you would need to confirm that she was a spinster on that marriage certificate to Samuel Tennant.

Is this them in 1911? If so, looks like they didn't have children together.
