Title: 1851 Fraisthorpe Carnaby Scott
Post by: Creatrix on Sunday 24 July 05 21:58 BST (UK)

Looking for my ancestress, Saint Agnes Scott (b. 1833) in Fraisthorpe or Carnaby around in 1851 census. She may be named as a daughter to a Robert  and Mary (1802) Scott. It is an unusual first name so it may stand out like a sore thumb. She also has a younger sister called Mary (1835). I'd appreciate seeing if anyone can findout the household makeup in 1851. Much thanks to my benefactor!

Truly,

Creatrix

Hello Creatix

1841 Census Fraisthorpe 1214/12
page 3a
Elizabeth Appleby  26 widow
William Richardson 32 ag lab
Frances       "          31
Mary Scott               39
Agness "                  8
James Appleby         50
All born in County. Agness was written Agnefs the old way.

If this is the Agness you are looking for I have them in 1851 in Fraisthorpe.
How did you get back to them? Where did you see her called Saint Agnes Scott,
I am curious.
Regards Oly

Thanks for looking over my request again, Ticker. I had a little luck with 1851 but of course just under Agness. Yes I'm always looking for more information! Thanks for the concern  :)

Thanks SO much oly! That's something I've never seen (1841 Census). This is most certainly her!
The reason I call her Saint Agnes is because that is her christened name on the IGI. And even before I knew about the IGI, I think my family researching cousin had her marriage certificate which said the same. In censi she never appears as "Saint Agnes" though. Curious, eh? Guess it was too much of a mouthful for every day.

Thanks again.

No one ever found any information on Mary's husband other than his name: Robert Scott. He could have been a sailor or militia. I'd always assumed a servant but trying to find a Robert Scott is like trying to find a John Smith, nigh impossible.

Not only is HE missing but a sister to Agness--Mary. I guess that maybe some assumptions were done on our family historian's part about survival to adulthood or maybe she is in service somewhere. A long winding twisted path but always with hopes to whoop with glee when a missing link is found :)
