Hi there I am looking for the wife in the following census. I am specifically looking for her baptism but nothing has turned up on the IGI. Any other ideas?

1891 census

Address: Newby Wiske, Newby Wiske

MCVAY, John Head Married M 62 1829 Shoemaker And Grocer
North Otterington, Yorkshire VIEW
MCVAY, Ann Wife Married F 62 1829
Thornton Steward, Yorkshire VIEW
MCVAY, Mary Daughter Single F 32 1859 Domestic Help
South Otterington, Yorkshire VIEW
RUSSELL, Miles Lodger Single M 30 1861 N E R Signalman
Langton upon Swale, Yorkshire VIEW
BROWN, Alfred J Lodger Single M 22 1869 Schoolmaster
Blackpool, Lancashire

This seems to be the marriage of the McVay couple:

Surname First name(s) District Vol Page

Marriages Dec 1852 (>99%)

Johnson Ann Thirsk 9d705 MCVAY John Thirsk 9d705

So I am looking for Ann Johnson, born in Thornton Steward, Yorkshire c. 1829.

Thank you again!

Peter

Thank you Glitterbaby - I'll try there!

Thank you.

Hmmm still no sign there also.

Basically I SUSPECT her father may be Thomas Johnson born 1793 in Crakehall, Bedale, Yorkshire.

Can I ask for a look up on the census for him (assuming he hasn't died before then)?

Thank you,

Peter

Is this linked to the other thread on Catherine Johnson of Crakehall?

To find out Ann's father's details, buy her marriage cert

How did you work back to this couple?

Hi Mike it is POSSIBLY linked to Catherine Johnson but NOT confirmed.

And thank Reggie - just trying to it the cheaper way!

If you tell us how you worked back to these people, it may be easier to help you to find the details you seek
