Find Ancestors

Hi, I am tring to locate any death or burial information about Jane Hannah Wilkinson, my 3xgreat grandmother.

Jane was baptised in Houghton le Spring, Co. Durham on 2nd Sept., 1835. Daughter of Thomas Wilkinson & Isabella Hunter.

Jane had an illegitimate son, Henry Wilkinson bOctober 1859, in Cassop Colliery, Co. Durham. Henry died in 1922.

The problem is that I whilst I have Jane on 1841 & 1851 census, I cannot find her at all AFTER the birth of her son Henry in 1859!!

Can anyone please help me, I am completely stuck on this.

Many thanks,

Marcus

Before we all go posting census info for Henry can we presume you have found him from1861 onwards

Yes, Henry is traced and all accounted for from 1861 until his death in 1922!

I should say that Henry is living with his grandfather Thomas in 1861, Gateshead, Co. Durham. No mention of his mother Jane!

Thanks Vera, I have just looked at this on An****ry, looks promising. She states she was born in Hetton le Hole, which is very close to Houghton le Spring, and is the correct age!

Why,then, is her son Henry not with her new family??

Marcus

Young children, often from a single mother, lived with grandparents quite commonly I have found :)

Quite, Vera :)


From find my past, there is a death registration for a Jane Turner, registration district Houghton Le Spring, March qr 1897.

Thanks Joy - Kentish Maid, that makes sense, but now that she is married, wouldn't have little Henry have joined his new family?

Vera, thanks for finding all this stuff!!

Marcus

Forgot to say her age is given as 61.

No, not necessarily :)

Maybe her husband didn't want Henry with the family....only guessing.

Regards Vera

It is in free BMD, too :)

Well, I guess I'll have to order the marriage certificate! Hopefully it will confirm things.
I do hope that it is her after all this.

Thanks to both of you for all your help!
