I am getting rather confused lol !!!! Shirley where do the Duxburys come into your family ? where are we going down from. :-S

Barbara,

I don't think so for 2 reasons:

1) Why would Mark Duxbury, his wife Mary, William S Hewitt and Fred Proctor all end up in the same grave if not connected in some way to the Esther that William Hewitt married?

2) This, note her birth year:

Name: Esther Proctor
Birth Date: abt 1888
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1956
Age at Death: 68
Registration district: Burnley
Inferred County: Lancashire
Volume: 10b

P.S. To avoid confusing Shirley (Any more at least) I have corrected the birth details for Mark Duxbury's daughter Esther to the correct one as noted by yourself. Thanks for pointing out my earlier error.

Barbara,

As you say it will be helpful when Shirley comes back to tell us how she and the Duxbury's are connected. When starting out on a journey it is as important to know where you are starting from as it is to know where you are going to. ;-)

Yes, I do like to try and work backward , from what people actually know--as to work the other way seems to be when a lot more mistakes are made.

I will Edit my other posts.

Thanks barbara and jonesy, you have given me so much info. Yes, probably right, that mark is not mine, and more likely to be the one who died in ossy in 1875. Think its better if i get that certificate first. Yes, barbara, those ossy ones are mine, i am descended from richard, marks brother. The only reason i was tracking mark(the wrong one i now see) is to get an angle on thomas's dad john. This is the thomas who married ann hurst/hirst in 1844 in ossy . Id looked for marriages of some of the others, but only found george and james and richard marrying. Thomas and ann had nine children until thomas remarried in the 1860's after annes death. Have found no marriage for betty born 1844 though she could be down as a hurst/hirst as she was born before their marriage. No marriage for nancy born 1851, or for thomas born 1853 and ann born 1856. Or jane born 1861. Thomas senior died in burnley in 1890, he commited suicide, inquest in paper.
In my madness, i thought that if i tried to track the children of thomas's burials i would maybe find a clue as to thomas's dad.
But i do think there may be a family connection somewhere becausethe mark senior you found Jonesy, was born in Rishton around correct time to be maybe connected to thomas's dad. So who knows, all your brilliant info will be very useful, and thanks to barbara too. And it will help with the duxbury tree, there is a website and it may help all the other duxbury's trying to connect up.
Its definately still work in progress but thats all part of the fun. People on here have been amazing over the years and i do appreciate all the help they have given me.
Anyone wanting to hurt their brain and try and discover who is thomas duxbury's father , feel free. On his marriage certificate, he is down as john duxbury , weaver. On some census Thomas is down as born in Rishton approx 1823, but that date varies. He remarried agnes fairburn nee alderson in burnley before the 1871 census. Oh, ive had a plan. Get that latest certificate, may give me a clue. Or it could say.... john duxbury , weaver ...... ??
I have thomas on every census apart from the 1841 until he dies in 1890. If i could only find him on the 1841, that might help. Think in the distant past i did find him , maybe with dad in oswaldtwistle. Or Rishton, or great harwood, will check that too.
shirley :-)

For information, I am descended directly from richard duxbury, born 1845 in oswaldtwistle, second child, first son, of thomas duxbury born approx 1823 in Rishton -ish. He married ann hurst/hirst in 1844 at emmanuel church in oswaldtwistle. They had nine children before ann's death and then he remarried agnes(agness) fairburn nee alderson , he was in burnley on the 1871 census by this time. He was in marsden with his son george and other son james on the 1881, whilst agnes was still back in burnley.
I have followed mark, or the one i thought was my mark, thinking someone somewhere may have a clue as to thomas's dad. but i do think the new mark is connected somehow further back. Esther is also a family name.
hope that helps to make sense of my mind going all over the place. ?
shirley

Just to add barbara, richard duxbury died in wombwell, he married hannah smith . They had two children before his death, abel and pathinia, who i think were born in wombwell.
shirley

But hannah and her two children moved back to burnley and hannah remarried to a william jones from france. Abel duxbury married elizabeth parr and had leonard duxbury think about 1890. Its that long since ive looked at them. Then leonard married my great gran Mary hannah pickles and had my grandad herbert duxbury. Herbert married mabel hocking and had my mum . So its all correct until thomas and i can not get further back than him, due to John being such a common name . ! :-)

Ok Shirley, Just got it all printed off so I can take a look at it, I am just going to have something to eat and hopefully will be back soon .

just putting this on to make sure i have the right family for you Shirley

Yes, thanks barbara, you have the right family. Think Richard died in the 1870's , will check, but have been so sidetracked with trying to get further back that ive not looked at richard etc for years. He died in wombwell, area anyway, very young. Hannah came back with children. Think poor pathinia died young too, her husband , william cundy gilbert remarried after her death. Dont think they had any surviving children. But Abel had some, one of which was leonard. Abel married elizabeth parr, daughter of allen parr and they were originally from wigan. William cundy gilbert was from cornwall.
Thanks for telling me about alfred, i didnt know about him. Abel had a son called alfred also, but he survived.
Its very late, going to bed now. I am addicted to family history....

The record for the 1877 death for Richard

Burial: 15 Nov 1877 Burnley Cemetery, Burnley, Lancashire, England
Richard Duxbury -
Age: 33yrs
Abode: Smallshaw
Grave: 15759
Notes: Buried in a Public Grave
Register: Burials 1873 - 1879, Page 186, Entry 17797

opps, yes, my memory playing tricks. was sure he died in barnsley. He was very young, ive not got death certificate but another cousin has somewhere. Hannah smith remarried to william jones, born in paris apparently. Think they went on to have arthur jones. Yes, thats pathinia. Shame none of their children survived past early years.
I know im focussing on trying to find the source of john duxbury, but really i do like the human stories and would love a photo of any of them, unfortunately havent managed that yet. The people that have been managing the duxbury family tree have not been able to join my tree to the main one yet, its a very hard task, but i refuse to give up. there is a clue out there somewhere.
thanks to anyone who has helped me, suggestions and help most gratefully recieved.

I have added the burial record for Richard on my post above with the death index on it

Barbara X

Hi Barbara
Thanks for the add of richard, i didnt have that, but i do remember he was in a public grave.
But the Colne connection is wrong. Someone a while ago decided the colne lot were ours, but they arent. It would be good if they were, there is a lot of info and a book on the colne duxburys, and i work in colne in the library so i would be in the ideal spot.
They do have a mark duxbury born 1858 though, so not sure if somewhere they have a distant connection. They do have a thomas born at a similar time. But think i have tracked that thomas, and he is not the same as mine. They are probably down on the 1841 census in colne(nancy and thomas) as danbury like lots of the duxbury's on ancestry. will have a look. think it was a distant cousin who connected us to the colne lot, and he was very good at research, so i will double check in case i have missed something, but i think i did find something in the past that disproved it.
thanks barbara
will post if i find that disproving fact . :-)
