So, if your ancestor is Maria Frith Oldham, and you have the marriage cert then you should be chasing the School master, not the hatter - they are 2 differerent people & families!!

So no mercury poisening in your line!

Just to confuse the issue he was indeed a hatter in 1841 but became a schoolteacher by 1851 and remained one.

Sorry, which is the correct family -the one I posted for 1841 or the 1851 - Pretty sure they are different families??

I think you may have some crossed wires here.

Thanks Margee... Just to get the correct cert now - much appreciated

So Maria Frith was the daughter of the school teacher not the hatter who died in 1875. I suspect her father was the one who died in 1869.

He was a hat-maker back as far as 1841, living with his sons James (18), Charles (15) and John (13) it looks like the address is dispensary??

Wonder if the 1851 census is him - he has acquired a wife and is a schooll-master - but none of the above children are with him.

MargaretM Report 12 Jan 2013 18:45

Then I would say that you have the wrong death certificate. If your Alexander was definitely married to Charlotte then he was the school teacher not the hatter

We dont know he was Mad... Mine was married to Charlotte - the death cert i have says Hatter.....
