thank you for any help given

Until 1875, there were no penalties for not registering births, so you may have to accept that her birth simply wasn't registered.

Your best bet would be look for her baptism

i have them.

Hi Dutch


I wonder if why you cant find a birth in Lincolnshire registration is that---

Hepworth is -- West Yorkshire, nr Holmfirth.

Epworth is in Isle of Axholme,,Scunthorpe Lincs district.

What leads you to think that Ada on 1871 is the person who married in 1893?

What was her declared age on the marriage cert?

Who witnessed the marriage?

so this is the 1871

1871 census - household transcription
Person: BASSENDALE, Ada
Address: Worsley Street, Salford
BASSENDALE, William Head M 69 1802 Lincolnshire
BASSENDALE, Louisa Granddaughter F 11 1860 Lincolnshire
BASSENDALE, Elizabeth Granddaughter F 8 1863 Lincolnshire
BASSENDALE, Ada Granddaughter F 2 1869 Lincolnshire
COPUR, Maggie Visitor F 32 1839 Lincolnshire


Are the sisters correct i e do you know of them in the family?

The 1911 family is mine Ada was my Mum ,not sure Flick when i tried to find her dad and found nearly all the Bassindales came from the Lincolnshire area ,they were both 24 when they married and the wittness were
William Spenser and Mary Jane Bunfield
LadyKira not sure about them in the family just my mum said she had sisters but now there is no family left to ask,forgot to add the Liverpool one s are mine on 1911

so if we start from 1911 info and work backwards as that is what you know to be true.

yes that is true i have all the certs of the children right down to my mum Ada who was born in 1908

could well be if John was dead before 1893 then it could be possabilty that it may be her family

the john above is a carter

On the marriage cert he is Liceused Vickualler cant read the writing very well

i have tried looking for marriages for female bassendale father john but not found anything


this ada is born at the right time in bolton

Births Mar 1870 (>99%)
BAXENDALE Ada Bolton 8c 392

and there is this marriage same place

Baxendale John Bolton 8c 432
HOLDEN Elizabeth Bolton 8c 432
LOMAX Mary Bolton 8c 432
Taylor Thomas Bolton 8c 432

worth a look?

what was Samuel's father's name and occ on his marriage cert to Ada please

Ada's was John, a licenced victually - have you tried trade directories?

What was their address when they married

I can't find either of them in 1881 & wonder if maybe the area where they were living has been lost

I've looked on 1901 for John Bass*, Licensed Victualler, with no results

I can't see Ada in 1891...anywhere
