Dutch,

I am wondering if John could have become a step father to Ada at some point in her early years?

A marriage certificate for Elizabeth and lousia may shed light,,but were they ever cousins to Ada?

Although you say in 1871 Ada,Elizabeth and Lousia are granddaughters of William Bassendale,were they all sisters?

Could be not as black and white as it seems?

lancashireAnn Report 28 Jan 2011 23:00

was that 1871 census only a guess as I seem to remember you said somewhere that you did not actually know the names of Ada's sisters? I think it was a guess that Ada grandaughter of William was yours but your Ada says she was born Manchester in the census records with Samuel.

We seem to have found several Ada & Elizabeth Bassindale/Bassendale/Baxendale families

(if going for Baxendale it was a very common surname in Lancs)

I did look for a death of a Robert but I did find a Elizabeth Bassindale d of a Caroline Barnes (widow) in 1881 but could not find a ???? Barnes and Caroline ????? marriage - confusing myself even more now!

Kay your right i was,nt sure if they were here sisters mybe they were cousins
lincashireAnn yes it does say Manchester but if she was with her g,father she was only 2yrs old so probley would,nt no were she was born
Ada Mary Bassindale married to Samuel in Parish Church 1893 ,Walton on the hill
Elizabeth Bassindalemarried Frederick Bottcher All Saints Church parish of west derby in 1890
now i cant remember when but when Ada moved to Buchanan Road ,Elizabeth lived two streets away
Also Frederick died and Elizabeth married John j Jones and her mother was Caroline Barnes married to William eith Bassindale or Barnes,i got that of LDS some time ago ,they got married in New York it does get confusing
I have just been contact by cousin of my mothers so mybe he can help with the bassindales as he still lives in the same place my mum was born,Bootle

'lincashireAnn yes it does say Manchester but if she was with her g,father she was only 2yrs old so probley would,nt no were she was born'

sorry dutch, but I still do not know how you know that William was her g grandfather, the fact that she was only 2 is probably not too important. Her g grandfather would have known where she was born. On the other hand he might not have told her.

BUT you have not yet proved who Ada's grandparents are yet let alone her gt grandfather.

To go right back to basics. You say your mother married as May Mellor. Are you sure you have the right birth certificate for her. Did you know her as Ada or as May? There are several May Mellor birth regs in Lancs about the right time.

Sorry to seem doubting. I am just trying to think 'out of the box' a bit to see if there is another direction we can try.

'Also Frederick died and Elizabeth married John j Jones and her mother was Caroline Barnes married to William eith Bassindale or Barnes,i got that of LDS some time ago ,they got married in New York it does get confusing'

Event(s):
Birth:
Dorchester, Dorset, England
Parents:

Elizabeth had daughter called Ada and Ada called one of her daughters Elizabeth Mary,thats why i thought they might have been sisters i tell you that did,nt half give us the round around trying to find them,have them all on my g,fathers side the Mellors but nothing for g,mother at all its mistery

I think that you have confused what you know with what has been found for you over the years. I think you will need to put aside everything you think you know and work from there. you have ada mary's marriage cert and some census info. we have found some bassindales on the same street as the mellors so that may well be how they met,


why not try to make a tree for those bassindales just to see where that leads?

i also think mary would be a good name to try.

i have often come across people who are called by their middle name. seems quite common in lancashire.
