Find Ancestors

i spelling with an e not an a .thought it would b simple with an unusual name,but its spelt all ways! will carry on plodding! i up till round 1am every day...its so exciting when something is found! i'm also trying to do my husbands family,but that wholly(we think!)in ireland

It was probably a mistranscription thats why. but if you are using this site I dont think it allows for those...maybe wrong

jax

dont know how but i got onto international genealogical index! put in surname greatrex and spouse surname rice...ploughed thro hundreds of names till i got to G. there 3 johns married on diff. dates-----then i put rice in first and john in spouse box.....had to go even further down to the R's. found gertrude rice and her wedding was same date and place as one of the johns....6th June.1838. Duffield. Derbyshire. so they were obviously married

Marriages Jun 1838 (>99%)

GREATOREX John Belper 19 299

RICE Gertrude Belper 19 299

Rose ... I posted that quite a while back ... check page 3 ... I don't think they were a couple; there's a Hannah Greatorex death that would match.

did see it on page 3 janey,but i thought you wanted me to check if john did marry gertrude? y u think they werent a couple? i'm still looking for mary ann...found a mary ann greatrex,b.1844 in derbyshire(bakewell)but her parents were thomas and elizabeth

ah sorry Janey lol I have been following this intermittently but have lost the plot ;)

hahaha...its my family rose,and i've TOTALLY lost the plot! there folk joining the family that i never even heard of!! and they spell their names all sorts of ways,to make it even more confusing!

Elaine....Are you sure you have the correct family..!! Ive been after wondering why Dennis and Catherine didn't name the "apparent first son" after Dennis'father...Dennis....
Peter appears as eldest (after Caths father) but that is open to speculation as to whether he was the First Born...I have found a Dennis Mc.Mahon b 1862 Reg.Wigan...year after their marriage.....

I need to put a bag over my head. On page 3 (or was it 2 ...) I said that this was the 1861 census -- of course it was the *1851* census, I've fixed it in that post now for the record:

Name: Catharine Rice
Age: 14
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1837
Relation: Lodger
Where born: Ireland
Occupation: house servant

Civil parish: Louth
County/Island: Lincolnshire
- and also Bridget Rice

yeah...got the right dennis and catherine,erin.....have followed back from my grandad..all childrens names and ages and all dates tally. also all dates match. got copies of death cert for dennis,and marriage certs for both his marriages.i also knew from my late dad,where his family lived in tyldesley...so everything aok! lol janey,not like you to slip up! i just noticed how catherine is spelt above...with an "a" instead of "e"...thats prob. why i was getting 0 matches when i tried! on the wedding cert of denis to catherine,denis' father ISNT denis..its joseph....so denis wasnt named after his father either,erin

ours isnt MC Mahon tho,erin...depending on where it is,its spelt denis;dennis;mahon or mahan or any combination! lol

I was sure I had posted this but it must have disappeared in cyberspace!

1851 census
Person: RICE, Catharine
Address: Aswell Lane, Louth

with
Name Relation Condition Sex Age Birth Year Occupation Where Born
KAYES, Patrick Head Married M 50 1801 (Lodging House Keeper) Chemist's Porter Ireland, various of his family and several lodgers including
RICE, Catharine Lodger Unmarried F 14 1837 House Serv Ireland
RICE, Bridget Lodger Unmarried F 17 1834 Genl House Serv Out Of Situation Ireland

Janey has posted it twice and I had given Elaine instructines how to find it because the name Catherine had been spelt Catharine

jax

i not seen kayes before,so must have diss. b4 i saw it! on dennis' death cert it says his step-sister bridget faulkner was with him....this couldnt be catherines sister could it...sister-in-law,and not step-sister?

It could be Elaine they did call thier relations different things back then

Son in law could mean step son same as step sister could be sister in law

jax

Elaine....I thought Dennid was the son of Dennis (Co Mayo 1901) sure and dont you know how to confuse me...
Where are Peter and Cath on the 1881 Census (England)..?
So now I am after looking for Dennis Mahon son of Joseph...?

Elaine, I didn't bother putting the Kayes name when I posted the 1851 census because Kayes was a lodging house keeper and I didn't imagine there was a connection. I have indeed posted that 1851 census twice, once on this page ...

Elaine ... all the info available ... not in dribs and drabs.

When did Denis die? It may be here somewhere but I don't know where.

Then we can look for Bridget Faulkner in the nearest census, etc.



Eringobragh ... Catherine Rice Mahan died in 1868; she ain't nowhere on the 1881 census. I think Denis with his second wife is posted somewhere back, maybe page 1.

edit - I'll repost from p. 2
