Find Ancestors

Hi All and Happy new Year...
My relation George Barrett Born 1823(on 1861 Census and 1871 gives 1822) in Condover Shropshire married Elizabeth Jones Born 1823 (on 1861 census and 1871 census gives 1817) in Llangollen, it appears they were married in Shrewsbury in 1849 two children Jemima (1855) and Louisa(1860.

I cannot find them at all after the 1871 census, I've tried FMP and FreeBMD.

Any help would be appreciated

--------------------------------------------

1871
George Barrett 49
Elizabeth Barrett 54
Jemina Barrett 16
Louisa Barrett 11
Charles Preston 7 Months - nursery


Maybe daughter's marriage

Marriages Mar 1877
Barratt Jemima Wellington, Sh. 6a 1046
HOLMES Joseph Wellington Salop 6a 1046
Jennings Sidney Wellington, Sh. 6a 1046
Sutholl Emma Wellington, Sh. 6a 1046



1881

Wellington, Shropshire

Sidney Jennings 38
Jemima Jennings 29
Martha Ann Jennings 13
Sidney Jennings 12
William Jennings 7
Jemima Jennings 2
Richard Jennings 1


***EDIT - Maybe not ( wrong age)

for clarity ......................


Charles Preston, age 7 months, on the 1871 Census is shown as Nephew to George

could the family have emigrated?

How did you work back to them?

The original 1871 census clearly shows the word " Nurserry" (with 2 R's) not nephew for Baby Charles Preston.
Might have no relevance but thought I would mention it just in case.

Looks like you have found them safc - everything fits an his occupation of Wagon maker would fit with his occupation of Wheelright and Carpenter on 1871. Well done !

Also, I think Mike may well have found the correct marriage for Jemima to Sidney Jennings. - Her age is 'out' but considering that he is such a lot older than her she may have felt the need to add a few years onto her age??

Jemima Jennings died in 1886 and Sidney remarried but there looks to be 2 children born before she died - the second one Richard born in 1879 has the middle name of Stanworth.

Do you know of a 'Stanworth' connection in the Barrett family ??

Births Dec 1879
Jennings Richard Stanworth Wellington, Sh. 6a 760

I too looked at the USA 1880 entryas the occupation seemed to fit but I dismissed it because he was 49 in 1871 but 47 in 1880 ??

and Wife Elizabeth has gone from 54 in 1871 to 49 in 1880 !

Thanks to all, will look at everything shortly, was wondering if they had emigrated, sorry havn't answered earlier as at work as AHT Captain, and busy during the day.
Thank you all once again

Reggie, To answer your question, his brother William Barrett 1812-1892 whose son William Barrett 1842-1919 was the Father of My Grand Mother Beatrice Maud Barrett 1883-1935

Mike, Yes that is the family and you maybe correct in the theory of the emigration, my sister mentioned a Barrett going to USA.
There was also a son Allen who was born in 1851 and died in 1851, my 1871(FMP) census for Charles Preston spells it as Nursery

Safc Looks promising with those details

Dea Don't have Stanworth in Tree

Thanks once again
Ronnie
:-D :-D :-D

It could, of course, come from the Jennings side.

Just something to follow...

Safc A question... although the 1880 USA census appears to be correct George's and Elizabeth's age's don't add up, but, Louisa's does???
