Title: Hargreaves family, Castle Donnington
Post by: sharonc on Sunday 30 March 08 23:09 BST (UK)

I have an Ann Hargreaves in my family tree born 1842 in Castle Donnington. She married James Cliff in around 1862 and died in 1919. I seem to have connflicting information regarding her parentage. It is believed her father was Henry Hargraves born 1815. However, I have no information what so ever about her mother and wondered if someone could look it up for me. I've tried the IGI and had no joy.

Thanks

Sharon

1841 for Castle D

Henry Hargreaves 27  lace maker
Elizabeth  29 
James   6
Mary   4 
Peter   2 
Arthur   suspect he was new born

There were Hargreaves families either side of Henry.  If you send me a pm with your email address I will send you the 1841 image

The only way of establishing Elizabeth's maiden name is to look for a birth for one of the children born after 1837 and buy a copy of the birth cert

Thanks Carole,
This helps immensely. I don't think Henry lasted much after 1851, as I can not find him so far in 1861 onwards.

There were 2 Henry Hargraves deaths in Shardlow - June 1859 and June 1861 - no ages shown on GRO index for those periods but I suspect the 1859 was Henry snr and the 1861 was the Henry below


A bit of an odd 1861 census unless Henry re-married after 1851

All b Castle Donnington - address Bond Gate East Side

Mary Hargreaves 24 head
Ann 18 sister
Richard 16 brother
David 14 brother
William 4 brother
Henry 1 brother
