Find Ancestors

I would value some help in finding the Workam family on the censuses (see below for the family on the censuses I have got).

I am looking for William Workman on the 1861 census please. In 1851 he was living with his parents in Horsley Stroud Gloucestershire (see below). He married in 1862. In 1871 he is recorded as a masons labourer and is living with his wife in Horsley.

I would also appreciate it, if someone would kindly find his parents on the 1841 / 1861 / 1871 and 1891 censuses please.


Jessy Workman b c 1820 in Sapperton, Stroud Gloucestershire, living Horsley
Maria wife b c 1819 in Horsley

I think that I have found Jessy Workmans death reference in 1893. If he was found on the censuses up until then , it would confirm that I had the correct death.

Re census information: (I hope it helps)

1871 Living at Wallow Green Horsley

William Workman (Masons labourer) abt 1841 Horsley Head Horsley Gloucestershire
Elizabeth Workman abt 1836 Cowley Wife Horsley Gloucestershire

Maria Workman abt 1819 Horsley, Gloucestershire, England Wife Horsley Gloucestershire

I you were able to provide information on the families address, occupations and where they were born please that would be great.
Thanks for looking.

Dear Jen and Margaret,
Thank you so much for your help. I am thrilled that you have managed to locate the family.

Would it be possible to know the status of Maria aged 72 and what her occupation was please.

Much appreciated.
Shane

must have the wrong one 1891,as jessy is alive then?

1841 census
Shortwood, Horsley, Gloucestershire
Jesse Workman, 21, woollen weaver
Maria, 22
William, 6 months

A marriage on Free BMD in Stroud:
Jesse Workman and Maria Mayo, Sep. quarter 1840. (11 497)

A second marriage for Jesse? The name looks like the name of the brother-in-law on the 1891 census that I couldn't read properly. Had Maria died then?
Free BMD
Jesse Workman married Ann Farmilow, June quarter 1883, Stroud. (6a 496)

Dear Jen and Margaret,
great. You are both so quick.

I am now a little confused as to the maria aged 72 is. What census year is that?

As you have pointed out Jen, Margaret has shown that the family were still together in 1891, so it looks possible that Jessy died in 1893.


Thanks.
Shane

hi shane, she isnt yours .ill del that one

Dear Margaret and Jen,
wow.
Thank you for the marriage and death references.

It is very enjoyable to read your messages. I can't contribute to the debate but I am eager to learn what you two decide. :-)

Thanks for taking the time to think about it all and for keeping me informed.

Another marriage on Familysearch but wife's name is Elizabeth! It's getting confusing:
Jesse Workman age 50 married Elizabeth Farmile age 44, 9 Nov.1872, Horsley, Gloucestershire.

Jen, that's got to be him with the second wife, don't you think?
Margaret

must be margaret.he got about didnt he.so he married maria ,then elizabeth-then anne? or do you think anne/eliz are same person

Good grief! He didn't waste any time did he?
Maria died June quarter 1872 and he married Elizabeth in November!
Maria Workman died June Q 1872, age 51, Stroud. (6a 205)
