Title: birth Amelia Hives Lavendon,Bucks circa 1842
Post by: val54 on Sunday 11 March 12 19:29 GMT (UK)

Amelia married to William Petts june 1861
- 1871 living at Marsh End
1881 living at Paggs Court
She died age 49 in 1890

I have tried all the usual avenues to find her birth and parents. Any clues much appreciated.

Thank you both for that. I never thought to try losing the H and look up Ives.
Glad I asked.
Many thanks.

And the same family in 1861 (though the elder children from 1851 are not there, including Amelia):

1861: Olney Road, Village of Lavendon, Bucks
RG 9 / Piece: 876 / Folio: 37 / Page: 25
Head: Thomas HIVES 53, Carpenter, b Towcester, Northampton
Wife: Elizabeth 53, lace maker, b Easltow, Beds
Son: Ebenezer 18, unm, Carpenter, b Lavendon
Son: William 14, Shoemaker, b Lavendon
Son: Thomas 12, Carpenter, b Lavendon


and:
1861: Silver Street, Newport Pagnell, Bucks
RG 9 /Piece: 873 / Folio: 62 / Page: 27
Head: Thomas GAMBLE 64, Tailor, b Newport Pagnell, Bucks
Dau: Mary Ann 14, b Newport Pagnell, Bucks
Son: Robert J, 12, Scholar, b Newport Pagnell, Bucks
Mar: Wm S PETTS 25, Bulcher, b Newport Pagnell, Bucks
Mar: Amelia PETTS 21, Shoe Closer, b  Lavendon, Bucks


Note:  The enumerator has erred in putting the Petts' marital status in the relationship column, and nothing in the marital status column. I think he has also mixed up the letters in William's occupation - he appears to have 'crossed the 'h'  and  I think he intended to write 'Butcher' (was he a butcher in the later census?)

Cheers

Thanks Ambly.
Yes William is a butcher in 1871, 81 and 91.

I am so pleased to have been helped with that bit of the puzzle. :D
