Died? Married? Have you found her on any census?

There are 2 deaths. Jane Caunt Grantham March 1845 14/285
Ann Dec 1847 14/275
I see William is a Visitor in 1851,but \i can't get at the previous page which lists the other occupants,

Thanks everyone. I've got her baptism but will check out the other things you mentioned. William is with his grandmother in that census. He goes on to become a Police Constable in Cambridge. I can't find Anne on any census with her Caunt surname will try the other surnames.

I did ask if you had her on any censuses. Do you? Nobody has posted any.

In what census is William with his grandmother? What William is this?

I think I've lost the plot.

All it says is No Relation, no occupation shown



I have no idea what F W N might mean, but it is written against several other people in other households.

FWK on the census means Frame Work Knitter. Maybe this is Frame Work Nitter. They probably scratch their heads a lot!

Thanks everyone, the 1851 census is correct for William. I did see the census where Ann Caunt was listed but it's difficult to know if that is her or not as there is another entry in another place too. I think I shall have to give up on Ann but thanks for your help.

Nay lass, don't give up yet. How many decades have you been looking for her? Only 3 - oh, keep going.

I checked out those three marriages Linda found - no luck.

Oh, but here is a Whittaker (farmer) with a house servant, Margaret Caunt:

Pam, the tree on Ancestry I guess is yours?

Madmeg

Madmeg Report 18 Feb 2010 19:24


Expletive - William Whittaker in 1851 hasn't got a son William in 1841.

Thanks. Yes there are two trees on Ancestry, Pam's tree and Roberts Tree - renamed by accident. I'm off to the Lincoln Record Office again tomorrow and will try and find her grandfather Stephen's birth in c.1773, I think he's from Grantham - nothing on the IGI about his birth, just his marriage, he was married in 1793 in Denton and although he is 'of this parish' there are no other Caunt's there. So it's off to search the fiche and see what I can find.
