Hello
I have Jesse Hall & Annie Bates Marriage:
1885
Jesse HALL and Annie BATES,
Sep qtr 1885, Godstone, Surrey
2a 299.
Marriage from FreeBMD
Do either of them feature in the 1881 census? Annie would be 32, & Jessie 29. Family stories have Jessie as a gamekeeper on an estate, where he met Annie, who either worked there or was the Daughter....
So perhaps her family/parents (William and Mary Bates) from Fyfield Essex are in the census too?
Thanks
Geoff

Hi Geoff :)
Did you know the 1881 census is free to search at various places, for instance www.familysearch.org and www.ancestry.co.uk ?
Where were both born? :)
-
I see they have already been searched for in vain :-\

Thanks for your quick response Tati,
I asked here in the Surrey section because I have no way of knowing what actual sources are available to those who have kindly been able to help me. The
Thanks for the refrences I have now made some progress with their parents. Thanks very much! :)
I have tried as you suggested, and cant find Jessie & Annie, but the LDS info may not be comlete.... I hope theres more census info available somewhere else :-\ ??
Jesse Hall was from Hinton Ampner, near Alresford, Hampshire 1852, and Annie seems to be from Fyfield Essex, 1849

The LDS census is as complete as you will get, I would think - Could they have been outside of England/Wales at census time?

If this is your Annie - her mother may not have been Mary A. There is also a John Crabb with the family in 1861 & he could be an Uncle perhaps to William (middle name Crabb)

William Crabb BATES married Charlotte LUCKING, Mar qtr 1840, Stepney, 2 379
Charlotte BATES died Sep qtr 1859, Ongar, 4a 48
William Crabb BATES possibly married Mary Ann HOAD, Dec qtr 1860, Ongar, 4a 85.
Lookes like Charlotte was mother to all of them
William aged 55 and his wife Mary aged 55 were in Fyfield, next door to a Samuel LUCKING, who could well have been a brother to Charlotte above.
William Crabb BATES died Mar qtr 1864, Ongar, 4a 56
Perhaps Mary his widow married again.
Could not find Ann anywhere in 1871 or 1881, but did find possibly her brothers William and Samuel, who were butlers.
From the IGI if you do not already have it - submitted entry
William BATES married Mary CRABB, 15 Nov 1814, Chipping Ongar, Essex

1881
RG11/266/97/6
In St Mary's Islington (can't make out the street name) there is a William LEWIS, Solicitor aged 49. Along with his family there are three servants, one of whom is indexed at Annie BALES. Looking at the image it could be BATES, without the T crossed. She is aged 32 and born Essex.
Only Annie that I can see that looks about the right age etc.

Looking for Jesse, but still can't find him in 1881. His brother James is in West Meon, Hampshire, with a son Jesse. At least I assume he is a brother, born 1856 at Hinton Ampner.

Thank you all for so much info, sorry I havent answered sooner.
Now where can I start..?
Trish asks could they have been outside England and Wales at census time? -I hadn't thought of them being together to travel before their marriage, but on reflection, one would hope they didn't meet for the first time at the Church, 1885.... I cant think of a reason for them to have gone anywhere... hang on, Jesse was in the Army, as he was pensioned in 1891
Thats a whole new area to check out... But I don't think Annie would have been posted with him.
Annies Mother then, Tati, Trish & Eyesee, was Charlotte Bates/Lucking, Died 1859, and Father died about 5 years later 1864 when Ann/ie was 15.
Stepmother was Mary Ann Hoad from Enfield Middlesex. Would she have stayed in Fyfield? I imagine Samuel Lucking next door rallying with Mary and making arrangements for the children.... Have to think about that, make sure Ive been paying full attention to your info..
And the St Marys Islington ref is intriguing Eyesee- Birth 1849 again. I would like to see the image to add as a footnote...
Thanks again for all your help, this has been quite a mobile group to track!
The next step could be military records...
Regards,
Geoff
