Just wondering if her father died when she was young, could she have been sure of his name and occupation?

Deaths Mar 1867 Maddison Mary 35 Darlington 10a 5

Gins no she just used elizabeth on her wedding cert she gives her age as 21 but she might be telling porkys ? i think on census she is consistant with 2 years age difference but me thinks it might not be so . looks very promising over that birth and tempted to raid the poiggy bank for birth cert ? .......jim

gins no she just used elizabeth on marriage cert but that looks very promising as on 1881 she is elizabeth a monkhouse so might be the right one may be piggy bank raiding time for birth certificate

Expensive this malarkey, isnt it!


Her middle name doesnt show on Freebmd but if its on the cert then all the better

It's mainly backing up your census find Gins :-D

Just a wild one. I wonder if she fibbed on her marriage cert and address.
Father's name Jesper corrected by Ancestry to Jasper. Occupation Coal Miner. There is also a Willington in Northumberland - close to North Shields.

The B........ address for Elizabeth A could possibly be Bensham.

Searching from 1837 to 1859 there are only two marriages for a Joshua Maddison in the whole of England & Wales, so if her dad was Joshua then it looks like one of these is him...

But, he could still have called himself Joseph..... or not!



Interestingly they are both in Weardale

Gins I wonder if that is the same Joshua marrying twice??

Mel

There are two Joshua' on the 1861 census so I think it might be two different people

Ancestry seem to have a problem and I cant open the 1861 for either of them to check occupations
