Baptism Place: Taunton St Mary, Somerset, England
Parish as it Appears: St Mary Magdalene Taunton
Father: John Murrey
Mother: Elizabeth Murrey


Given Ferdinando's middle name and mmn, as well as father's name and occupation, this must be James's family - though I'm not sure about his birth - the 1846 illegitimate birth I suggested earlier doesn't seem right after all, as it's after John & Elizabeth's marriage, but I can't see a a birth with mmn Butler or similar.

But he's never with his father in census - he seems to have been brought up by his grandparents ..

John & Elizabeth's marriage:

Marriages Jun 1843 (>99%)
BUTLER Elizabeth Mayne Bridgwater 10 563
MURREY John Bridgwater 10 563


John, Elizabeth and Ferdinando are together in 1861,1871 and 1881, though Ferdinando is called Frederick in 1881.

Ferdinando died in Dec 1881, and Elizabeth died in 1887.
1891, John's a boarder in Taunton.

Oh thank you, that could have been a big mistake....
perhaps we have the correct Sarah on census after all.

Maybe no marriage at all, after all that has been found, it seems Sarah had Annie to Murrey perhaps , but lived as William Townsend's wife,

Happy days !

Thank you for all the efforts you have put I so far.

However, I must now decide if this Annie, with a difficult background, is indeed the one I'm looking for.
I cannot find a death or later matching census for Annie GILL. If such a record exists, it would collapse the whole pack of cards.

Oh dear...THE WHOLE HOUSE OF CARDS HAS FALLEN!

disappointing, but I wasn't, getting the "Irishness" I was looking for either, as claimed by Annie Townsend,
But as she is hiding somewhere in 1891, I think I'm looking for a similar sort of story.
Of course she could have just appeared from Ireland, who knows

A HUGE THANK YOU. Such good laborious detective work. :-D

ArgyllGran

ArgyllGran Report 20 Nov 2021 13:51

OK - re-reading all the posts in the earlier part of this thread, before we were side-tracked by Annie Ellen Hooper!

To recap -

On page 4 you posted info from a descendant of Annie, who confirmed that Annie had died in Bristol in 1904, aged 39.
That's the death suggested by Sylvia on page 1 - surname Cousins.

We have various sightings of Annie, either directly or indirectly (via births of her children) all the way back to her marriage in 1883 to Simon Moore Wilton in Liskeard, Cornwall 1883.

Her father was William, a labourer.
Her address was Pipe Well Street, Callington, Cornwall

Her stated age at death suggests birth c1865.
At marriage in 1883 she says she's 21, implying birth c1862.
1901 census, posted by safc on page 1, says she was born c1870 in Launceston, Cornwall.

Presumably approx 1862/1865 is more likely, given her marriage in 1883.

The only Cornwall births of a Townsend with first name anything like Annie, 1860-70, are the two already suggested;

Susan Ann , 1865, Tavistock
and
Elizabeth Ann, 1868, Liskeard.

Susan Ann had father William (quarryman), and sister Bessie.
Living in Tavistock in 1881.
Born Milton Abbot, Devon.

We can rule her out:

Susan A Townsend
in the 1891 England Census
Name: Susan A Townsend
Gender: Female
Age: 25
Relationship: Servant
Birth Year: 1866
Birth Place: Milton Abbot, Devon, England

Nina St C Bulkeley 18 Daughter
Susan A Townsend 25 Servant
Elizabeth Ellis 23 Servant
Emma Woodruff 16 Servant


Elizabeth Ann's father was Richard - so we can also rule her out - which is a pity, because she lived in Callington where Annie married in 1883:

Elizabeth A Townsend
in the 1871 England Census
Name: Elizabeth A Townsend
Age: 2
Estimated Birth Year: 1869
Relation: Daughter
Gender: Female
Where born: Callington, Cornwall, England

She married Samuel Griffin in 1889.



If the stated birthplace of Cornwall in 1901 census is wrong, there's no telling where she might have been born.
Re an Irish connection -
an Anne Townsend was born in Callan, Kilkenny in 1867 - but her father was John.

ArgyllGran Report 20 Nov 2021 15:14

No further help with Annie, but just to round off this post on 12 Jan 2018 -

"Sylvia found ... Edward in 1911..
I'm wondering if Ellen 20 born Exeter is his first child b. 1892..
..but I can't find a marriage for Ellen to Spriggs, nor a birth for James Spriggs...unless he is James G Cousins born Plymouth JunQ 1909.,,as 1911 seems to say place of birth Plymouth, St. Andrews !!! "


Yes, the 1909 birth is the right one - but it was a late addition.
The birth was registered as both Warren and Cousins.

When you look at the images, you can see that both of the 1909 entries were added by hand, with a reference to March 1916.:

Births Jun 1909 (>99%)
COUSINS James G Plymouth 5b Mch/16
Warren James Gideon Plymouth 5b Mch/16


Births Mar 1916 (>99%)
Cousins James G Cousins Plymouth 5b 402
Warren James G Cousins Plymouth 5b 402


It looks as if the birth wasn't actually registered until 1916, although he was born in 1909.

EDIT:

Oops! I see this has already been answered by AustinQ on 12 Jan 2018 - though with a slightly different interpretation..

Thank you argyllgran and all for this valued help. It seems I'll not be able to find Annie Townsend, but the further information about Ellen's/Nellie's child is valuable compensation.

From time to time I'll look for Annie in1891, in case there is a further clue about her birth, but I think she is hiding. She was already pregnant with Ellen who was born in the November if I remember correctly.
Although she left the first three children in the workhouse, she took the toddler Leonard with her, as he is with the Cousins in 1901.

One last try with this family… on page one you will see
Joseph Moore Wilton s.o. Simon Moore Wilton and Annie Townsend.
He is the last child to trace…. And I’m struggling
He was left in Plymouth workhouse with his siblings, when his mother Annie set up house with Cousins taking the baby Leonard with her.
He is found with his sister Annie in 1901 on a farm in on around Tatham, lancs. (Which is probably why his birth place is given as that by the farmer)

By 1911 he is at Rook cottage, Caton, Lancs age 23,
Wife Mary Ellen Wilton (was Seed b. 1885) age 25
John Seed bro in law 24 born goosnargh
Emma Seed wife sis in law 24
Mary niece 1 wife and daughter b. Catterell
Baptism for Mary Ellen 14.6.1885 at Lancaster Goosnargh nr. Preston Lancs.

I couldn’t find anything further for either of them until yesterday, but this is all I have
Marriage
1 sep 1909 st. James, Whitechapel. Lancs
Joseph Wilton 22 farm servant Bachelor wood acre farm, goosnargh
Mary Ellen seed 24 spinster wood acre farm goosnargh
GROOMS FATHER SAMUEL MO-E WILTON farmer
Brides father John Seed, farm labourer
Wits Edward Maudsley, Percy Bretherton, Maggie Seed (could be her mum) Annie Baines (?)

After this I can’t see any records to match…
However there is a tale in the family that his sister (known as granny Annie) used to get dressed up to visit him (known by relative when a child, she born 1938). It is assumed he was in an asylum, but equally it could be a grave she was visiting??

Any clues would help us, and of course there was a two wars to hamper the search.
Grateful for your past help. G

ArgyllGran Report 3 Mar 2023 13:22

Unfortunately, both Joseph Wilton and Mary Ellen Wilton are very common names, and as they appear to have moved around the country, presumably for work, they could be anywhere, or died anywhere, after 1921.

There's no death of any Joseph Wilton anywhere in Scotland after 1921, apart from a 21-year old with middle name John, in 1950-51.
