Hi, I'm looking for the Caton family. I have them in the 1881 census in Thaxted, Essex, and the relative I'm interested in I know married in this home-town area in 1899, but what I'm most interested in is the 1871 census and the 1891 census. I've been looking up Ada Sinclair Caton, born in 1874 in Thaxted. In 1881, she and her mother Eliza Caton (born 1849) are all living at 'Gulps Lane Shed, Thaxted, Essex'. The various other children seem to go back to 1872 with a Herbert W. Caton, up to the youngest in 1879 and a Lilley A. Caton. There is no sign of a man of the house in 1881 - I'm assuming he might have been enumerated elsewhere - he could have died, but I'm hoping they'll all still be in Thaxted in 1871, and should still be there in 1891 too, since my relative Ada Caton married there in 1899 when there was no good reason because her husband is from Folkestone in Kent. Many thanks Michael

Hello Tracey - thank you for your kind offer. Please could you look for the birth of Richard Holgate of Thorne, nr Doncaster, Yorkshire - born between 1890 and 1900 I think. Parents Richard and Sophia Holgate. Thank you very much from Beryl

Shelley, it's well worth it. You can access all the England & Wales censuses from 1851 to 1901, plus various parish records too.

o k tracy a mystery itis i have marr cert for a frederick reed - annie florence kemp march 1910 wandsworth him 21 her 20 st johns church battersea london he was a baker father frederick reed compositor deceased father george robert kemp messenger no mothers name on cert i have found frederick reed in aylesbury heretfordshier but no son of that age have looked on the 1901 for someone of abt 11 but no joy can you see what you can find john

John, since Annie was from Battersea, Frederick could have been born anywhere. I had a look in 1901 for Fredericks who were Compositers, but there were none. It would take forever to find the right one. Unless this is them.... John Holstead abt 1871 Sunnybrow, Durham, England Head Wortley Yorkshire Susannah E Holstead abt 1870 Wellington, Durham, England Wife Wortley Yorkshire Frederick Wm Reed abt 1866 Sunnybrow, Durham, England Visitor Wortley Yorkshire Fanny Reed abt 1866 Leeds, Yorkshire, England Visitor Wortley Yorkshire John C Reed abt 1890 Oakinshaw, Durham, England Visitor Wortley Yorkshire Frederick Wm Reed abt 1892 Leeds, Yorkshire, England Visitor Wortley Yorkshire Lilian Reed abt 1896 Leeds, Yorkshire, England Visitor Wortley Yorkshire

Frances, the only one that comes close is this... Thomas Cock abt 1807 Colne, Lancashire, England Head Manningham Yorkshire Sarah Cock abt 1816 Bradford, Yorkshire, England Wife Manningham Yorkshire William Cock abt 1836 Bradford, Yorkshire, England Son Manningham Yorkshire Alfred Cock abt 1838 Bradford, Yorkshire, England Son Manningham Yorkshire Thomas Cock abt 1844 Bradford, Yorkshire, England Son Manningham Yorkshire John H Cock abt 1849 Bradford, Yorkshire, England Son Manningham Yorkshire James T Hartley abt 1829 Colne, Lancashire, England Nephew Manningham Yorkshire Joseph Hartley abt 1834 Colne, Lancashire, England Nephew Manningham Yorkshire Thomas Cock abt 1829 Colne, Lancashire, England Nephew Manningham Yorkshire

Hi again Tracy Thankyou for all your help - you trulyare my genealogy fairy godmother!!! I am after an occupation of a Jeremiah Mahoney born 1801 in Ireland with his wife Ellen and children, they are living in St Giles. With much thanks Danielle

Frances, it's 5 White Abbey. The page does say Cock, but it could have been written like that if the didn't know how to spell. Thomas Snr is a Grocer. William is a ''Stuff Merchant'' lol Alfred is a Shop Boy All the Nephews are Power Loom Weavers

Danielle, in 1851 he's a Bricklayers Labourer.

Frances, Sarah Cock abt 1816 Bradford, Yorkshire, England Head Manningham Yorkshire Alfred Cock abt 1839 Bradford, Yorkshire, England Son Manningham Yorkshire Thomas Cock abt 1844 Bradford, Yorkshire, England Son Manningham Yorkshire Sarah Turner abt 1846 Bradford, Yorkshire, England Niece Manningham Yorkshire I did also find a John Henry Cox(not Cock) in 1861, as a boarder.

Frances, I did, didn't I lol I just had a look in 1841, and they're down as Cock there. I don't have access to anything except the index though. Thomas is the head. Where did you get the name William as his father from? Marriages Mar 1866 Cock Sarah Prestt Thomas Bradford Yorks 9b 109

Paula, I don't have London or Middlesex 1841... Sorry. I'll have a go at the other one though :) I think this is most likely to be his father... Edward Watson 33 Lancs Lpool Lancaster Kirkdale Ship Steward A possible birth... Birth Jun 1902 Watson Arthur West Derby 8b 708 The family in 1901 Robert Isaac abt 1822 Glasgow, Scotland Head Kirkdale Lancashire Marion Isaac abt 1828 Paisley, Scotland Wife Kirkdale Lancashire Margaret Isaac abt 1851 Greenock, Scotland Daughter Kirkdale Lancashire Edward Watson abt 1868 Liverpool, Lancashire, England Son-in-law Kirkdale Lancashire Catherine Watson abt 1870 Liverpool, Lancashire, England Daughter Kirkdale Lancashire Catherine Watson abt 1892 New Ferry, Cheshire, England Granddaughter Kirkdale Lancashire Edward Watson abt 1894 Liverpool, Lancashire, England Grandson Kirkdale Lancashire Edith Watson abt 1897 Liverpool, Lancashire, England Granddaughter Kirkdale Lancashire Harold Watson abt 1900 Liverpool, Lancashire, England Grandson Kirkdale Lancashire I can't help much after this though I'm afraid.

Frances, in 1861 they are both Cock, but in 1871 Thomas is Cox... Thomas Cox abt 1844 Bradford, Yorkshire, England Head Horton Yorkshire Sarah Cox abt 1844 Bradford, Yorkshire, England Wife Horton Yorkshire Alfred W Cox abt 1865 Bradford, Yorkshire, England Son Horton Yorkshire Mary Louisa Cox abt 1867 Bradford, Yorkshire, England Daughter Horton Yorkshire George Henry Cox abt 1869 Bradford, Yorkshire, England Son Horton Yorkshire I couldn't see Alfred.

Paula, I'd suggest doing a reference check with the GRO on the birth. They will charge 4.50 for it, but at least you can know for certain if it's him. On the check, put Edward as the father.

Sorry Janice, there isn't an Alexander born after 1893 on my records.

Arghh! was so hoping this Jeremiah was a tailor, nevermind far too soon to rule him out completely...yet. Thanks again for all your help Tracy Danielle
