Is there SKS who would be kind enough to look up Grace BENNETT - born in March quarter 1840, Hanley (I think)
I'm hoping she'll magically appear in either the 1841 as a baby or even 1851 with a bit more additional info!!
I'd love to discover her parents/siblings!
Many thanks in anticpation

Hi
There is a Grace Bennett aged 10 months in 1841
Parents Thomas (stoker of Gas works)and Sarah both aged 30
Siblings are John 7, Sarah 6, Thomas 5, William 3
Plus Mary Martin aged 65 (independent) and Emma Webber 20 (independent)
They are living at the Gasworks in Stoke on Trent
I have just looked at the actual census report and the 10 months could be 16 months???
I will see if I can see her in 1851

p.s. Thomas snr, Sarah snr, John, Mary and Emma weren't born in that county

Ooooh... thanks very much to both of you for this.
Interesting that the older ones were out of county. Grace ended up marrying in Kentish Town.
I'd be really interested in more family details if you can spot her in 1851 Cal if it's not too much trouble.
Thanks again
Aitch :)

very bizarre in 1851
Grace is in London (I think)
The census says
John Massey 34 (born Nottingham)
Sarah Massey 37 (born Gloucestershire)
John Bennett son 17 (born Wapping)
Sarah Bennett daughter 16 (born Shelton Staffs)
William Bennett son 13 (born Shelton)
Grace Bennett daughter 11 (born Shelton)
Richard Bennett son 9 (born Shelton)
Frederick Massey son 5 (born Shelton)
Arthur Massey son 4 (born Shelton)
Charlotte Massey daughter 1 (born Lambeth)
So Thomas snr had died of they got divorced and sarah re married and moved to London I guess??
They were living at 21 Neptune Street Lambeth

I think the 1851 census explains why she was married in London .... did you know about the Masseys?? How exciting!
There must have been a connection with London pre 1841 with John being born in Wapping too .....
Oh and John Massey and John Bennett were Potters

Hi Cal
Well, well, well... that is interesting isn't it!
Certainly begins to make sense of a Stoke lass ending up marrying in London. Perhaps the first husband Thomas was originally from there given that their son John was born in Wapping, so maybe they started out there, moved north and then went back again (either before or after the second marriage)
No, I had no idea about the Masseys. You're right...
great bits of info to get my teeth into - Thanks again :)
-
Thomas Bennett died Jan - Mar 1843 in Stoke if that's any help. :)

Hi

Thanks Samskin! Sounds awful but deaths are so much neater than divorce!
And yes Cal, I'm quite fired up by this lot... Might be pretty late to bed tonight (again!!)
;D ;D

I may be with you burning the midnight candle as I have just found a will that maybe my gggg grandfathers ..... how difficult are they to read ?? ;)
-
Aitch,
On an unrelated note, I've just realised you're interested in researching Wolverscrofts. I've only recently discovered I'm possibly descended from Humphrey/Humfrey Wolverscroft. I've just got to confirm it really.
I also have two Warringtons in my family, both were from Staffordshire and Shropshire.

Sam - I'm one of Humphreys! If you want to talk Wolverscrofts/Warringtons then I'm more than happy. Do you want to email me direct to talk more at some point? It seems that almost all the several hundred Warringtons I've come across in the Staffordshire Moorlands all come from the same root family - similalry with the Wolverscrofts.
