Find Ancestors

RE Jane Wood (born 1844) there is this burial:

Jane Wood, 24, buried 28 March 1867 in Skelton, North Yorkshire

Can she be found on the 1861 to maybe confirm?

Just wondering - could I have a look up for probate records for:

William Wood, died Dec. Qrt 1916, Whitby District
George Wood, died Jun. Qrt. 1895, Leeds District
Joseph Wood, died Sep. Qrt. 1920, Teesdale District
Mary Pratt, died Dec. Qrt 1927, Selby District

Thank you

Thank you Argyllgran - please rest assured that your work is much appreciated. Very kind of you and thank you,

Re Elizabeth Pratt. Can't find any mention of her parents, but have deduced that she's probably Richard Pratt's daughter.
She's living with her grandparents in 1881 as well, when she was 6.

In the 1871 census, for James Sr's family, there's an older son Richard, born c.1849.
In 1873 there's this marriage:

Marriages Sep 1873 (>99%)
MILES Mary Elizabeth Sculcoates 9d 213
PRATT Richard Sculcoates 9d 213

In 1876 there's this death, which is the only one of a woman of suitable age in Selby district between 1875 and 1881:

Deaths Jun 1876 (>99%)
Pratt Mary Elizabeth 21 Selby 9c 447

And then there's Richard's death:
.
Deaths Mar 1877 (>99%)
PRATT Richard 28 Selby 9c 451

So Elizabeth was orphaned and living with her grandparents from the age of 2, at the latest.

I don't see him in 1871 or after 1891.
The 1916 death which you have seems the most likely, from the point of view of age.

On page 1 you said<
"Also, can I ask for William Wood (born 1836 in the 1911) - just to help confirm a death I found in 1916?"

This appears to be his birth:

Richard is her son, as in 1891 and 1901.
Johanna is her sister-in-law.

As for Gateshead, that's just one of those fascinating insoluble mysteries which genealogy throws up! Working, perhaps? Training? She's a cook in 1881.

Good luck with the rest of your search - can't find any trace of Jane, and Joseph's death still in doubt..

Argyllgran thank you so much! I do wonder about the widow thing although I also don't know what she was doing up in Gateshead. Interesting. Hmmmmm with this, what relation are the two people with her in 1911?

Thank you so much for this help!

Much appreciated!

I don't see the death of an Albert Faulkner (or variation of spelling) , of marriageable age, anywhere on FreeBMD or Ancestry in 1870-71.

I wonder if they divorced, but for the sake of respectability Mary said she was a widow?

Well, yes that seems about correct - hmmmmmm!

Will look into this ... maybe they emmigrated?!

Running out of options here!

This might be of interest. First name, YOB, and POB are right, and she's a widow.
Haven't found a marriage. Must have been between c1865 and 1871.
