This looks like George and Elizabeth in 1891 (same birth place for both as on the 1881 census)- looks like they're getting younger!!

IN MEMORIAM
ISON- In loving memory of George Ison who died at Spilsby May 26th 1923.
One lonely year has passed away
Since the great sorrow fell.
From his loving wife and sisters

My goodness! I'd never have dreamt that they were name changers. How strange.
That certainly took some sorting out.
Thank you so much for all your hard work.

Agnes (baptised Agnes Priscilla -and known as Priscilla) in 1881:

Piscilla Stigwood Servant Single Female 19 1862 Serv (Domt) Cambridgeshire,
Annie Giddings Cook Single Female 20 1861 Domestic Serv Longstowe, Cambridgeshire,
-----------------------------------------

At the moment I can't see anything else for Agnes/ Priscilla after 1881- will keep looking.

The 1902 marriage to William Alfred Mansfield is not the correct Agnes- that Agnes was born in c1877

Charlotte in 1881- in later census her age varies, but it is likely her. There is a probable death in 1939 Brighton:

Nice work safc- so they seemed to swap their surnames- Married as Ison in 1847, Stigwood in 1851 & 1881 and Ison in 1871. Fits with the births of their children too:

or william stigwood marriage to sarah pavis

but there is stigwood ison marriage


Margaret Ison
mentioned in the record of Isaac Stigwood and Margaret Ison
Name Isaac Stigwood
Spouse's Name Margaret Ison
Event Date 1795
Event Place West Wickham, Cambridge, England

may be he was changing name for some reason

Yes - William Ison and Sarah Pavis were the parents in the 1871 cenus.

I suppose its possible that Henry John Ishmael Cutter is some sort of relative to the Pavis side.

There's a bit of a problem with the children of Henry Cutter and Mary Ann Ison

CUTTER, ETHEL MARY ISON
GRO Reference: 1893 S Quarter in NEWMARKET Volume 03B Page 491

BUT..
CUTTER, HENRY JOHN ISHMAEL STIGWOOD
GRO Reference: 1894 D Quarter in NEWMARKET Volume 03B Page 492

The 1911 does say that they had 2 children together, both living. Ethel is entered but crossed out as she's elsewhere working as a housemaid.

Thank you for your help AustinQ. Its possible that the Ison has got its self badly mangled. There are sure to be some missing by the morning - enjoy your evening.

Thank you for the Mary Ann Ison/Cutter, Maddie. Looking good.

What do you think of this for Elizabeth Anna Claydon? Red herring or what?
