Eleanor Davidson (b 1820/21) Cumberland?

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Marcus Report 4 Oct 2017 19:36

I am looking for marriage &/or death of Eleanor Davidson b 1820 in Oulton/Wigton area of Cumberland.

She is on 1841 Census with family (HO107 Piece 166, Folio 4, page 2)

John Davidson 40
Ann 40
Ellenor 20
Matilda 15
Margaret 12
John 11
Sarah 10
Jane 9
Ann 8
William 6
Mary 1

In 1851 (HO107 Piece 2432, Folio 160, Page 10) she has disappeared.
She has either married OR died - I just don't know which? She is not on any other Censuses either.

Any clues to what happened ??

Thanks

Andrew

Thanks Andrew, it is this 2nd couple.

Just had a look, and Jane Hubbs is mis-spelt. It is actually Stubbs and is her niece, so fits it nicely!!

Now I have got to find younger brother John J F Davidson b1838!

Can see John JF in 1851

John Davidson 53
Ann Davidson 51
Margaret Davidson 24
Jane Davidson 20
Sarah Davidson 21
Ann Davidson 18
>>>>John J F Davidson 13
Mary Davidson 10



but is he on 1841? Any idea what his other nmaes are?

Marcus

Marcus Report 4 Oct 2017 20:52

I think that the John on 1841 Census died, because he is not on 1851, whilst John J F on 1851 has different age/year of birth.

Can't see why they would have 2 sons both called John?

I have looked at the 1851 again, and his age just doesn't tally with the 'other' John, who therefore must have died. Hope this makes sense!

Names of deceased children where often reused with later births. I have several in my tree. I can't see a birth record or later census records at the moment.
