Title: First wife need to find COMPLETED
Post by: Tree Hunter on Sunday 11 January 09 18:24 GMT (UK)

Hi All :) :)

Could someone please look and tell me the PR for Hacconby for a marriage/Death
of a Robert Booth about 1848/51
I know he was in the 1861 census as a widow with four children , the youngest
being born in 1858, so the wife he marrys must of died in Hacconby
1858/61, I think he remarried, in the 1871 Census his wife is listed as Patience

Thanks
John

Hi John

Anything in that period should be covered on FreeBMD at www.freebmd.org.uk, so looking there would be much quicker than waiting for a PR lookup.

For example, there is this marriage (Bourn(e) being the correct registration district for Hacconby) which may be the remarriage you refer to:

Marriage Dec qtr 1861

Robert Wiman BOOTH
Patient HALLAM

on the same page, Bourn 7a 657

Remembering his middle name the second time he married -

Marriages Jun 1848 
SCHOFIELD    Mary Ann         Bourne    14   417    
WIMAN    Robert         Bourn    14   417

18 May 1848 at Sempringham
Robert WIMAN (son of John BOOTH) to Mary Ann SCHOFIELD (dau of James)

1851 gives Mary Ann born Pointon (Sempringham parish) - there was a Mary Ann SCHOFIELD bap there 13 Jan 1822 (of James and Anne)

Brilliant, Geoff!  I wondered whether she might have been Mary Ann, given that that was the name of the only daughter in 1861, but couldn't find them in 1851.

Oddly, I can't find a death registration corresponding with a Jan 1859 burial - the only one in the district for a Mary Ann Booth was Mar 1860.  Perhaps she died elsewhere?

I think I've seen an error like that once before in the NBI.  Although ages are never set in stone, she would have been 38 in 1860.  Perhaps that was the correct date.  Perhaps it was the first burial of the year and entered wrongly.
