I'd be so grateful if anyone can help with a look-up for the marriage at St Peter's Church Conisbrough of George E. Caddick and Matilda Kendell Wood in 1869.
To continue with my research I need to know the name of George's father who I hope is named Joseph.
Any further information on the couple would be really appreciated.
Many thanks
Julie

Thank you so much Carole,
I will check all of the info. you have given me with my research to date and I'm sure it will be very useful.
I really appreciate your time.

Matilda should be on the 1851 census but I just can't find her
-
Thanks again Carole,
Neither can I. I can't trace any of her family either except for brother George in 1871 who became an apprentice in Bradfield.
I hope to find out Matilda's possible husband George's fathers name from Conisbrough Church records and will let you know if I'm successful.
Thanks again

Hi Julie
I can check the marriage in Conisbrough records on Saturday if that is of any help to you.

Thanks so very much Peramar,
I'd be really grateful to you for that as I have come to a full stop with George Caddicks possible marriage. I know it could have been at St Peter's Church in 1869 to Matilda Kendall Wood. If his father is Joseph Caddick I'll have the right one!
Many thanks

Hi Julie
Hope fully this is good news for you.
August 2nd 1869 at St Peter's church, Conisbrough George Edward Caddick aged 20, a moulder, married Matilda Kendell Wood aged 20. George's father was named as Joseph Caddick occupation moulder. There was no father named for Matilda. They both made their mark.
The witnesses were James William Caddick and Mary Ann Caddick.
Please let me know if I can look up anything else for you.

Hi Peramar,
I just can't thank you enough. That is the piece of the jigsaw I have been searching for to continue my research.
I do hope that you haven't had to go to too much trouble on my behalf but it is so appreciated as I now live in N. Yks and not Doncaster.
Many many thanks again

Hi Julie
I am glad to have been of some assistance. It is no trouble as I am in the Doncaster FHS research room most weeks. I found the information on a microfiche copy of the original parish records.

That is VERY interesting! So perhaps the Mary Wood in Doncaster Workhouse with the Matilda and other children isn't our Matilda's mother.
Thanks!

Think not - I found William living alone in 1861 RG9 Piece 3519 Folio 7 Page 7 still shown as widower
-
The strange thing is that after all this, Matilda just seems to disappear. I have the proof that she married George edward Caddick and that in 1871 they lived in Doncaster. George is then found in 1881 at his brother John's house in Birmingham (i have prrof that this is the case) and is classed as unmarried but there is no clear ref. to Matilda at all - death / re-marriage or living elsewhere. Oh well, the plot thickens!
Thanks for all your help
Julie

Looks like he is either back with Ann in 1871 or has re-married to a different Ann

Hmmm food for thought- so who was their mother? - Mary Wood the same housekeeper??!!
-
.... And who was Mary Wood in the workhouse? I'm reeling!
-
I think they are one and the same person - she may have been Mary Ann known as Ann but the Workhouse used her first name - guesswork really
It's definitely the same family and the children's births are registered as Kendall but there is no Kendall/Wood marriage
They don't appear to have had the best of relationships given that the children were in the WH in 1861 - including 1yr old twins
Matilda doesn't seem to acknowledge him as her father either, given that she excluded the info on her marriage cert

Hi again
William Kendell married Mary Ann Wood at Christ Church in Doncaster in 1862. Details found on www.yorkshirebmd.org.uk.
I can check the marriage record on Tuesday for you if you wish.

Hello again Mary,
Sorry, I have been offline until now and really appreciate all your efforts!
The info. you have given me to date really answers all of my queries - especially that George Caddick married Matilda and that the witnesses were James William and Mary Ann Caddick. These were my direct descendants and George an 'uncle'. George's whereabouts after 1881 when he was with his brother John listed as 'unmarried' and Matilda's whereabouts at that time are now my focus, so thank you for everything.
Best wishes
Julie

I would be grateful if someone with access to the Conisbrough marriage register could look up Thomas Watson & Jane Firth married 1st December 1823. I'm not too hopefull whether the record mentions much else, but specifically if it suggests the occupation for the man & if they are recorded as widow/er. Thanks.
-
Thomas Watson was a bachelor and Jane FRITH was a widower. Both of this parish, no occupation given and both signed their names. Witnesses were William Rotherham and George Hague.
Hope that helps
