Hello, I'm hoping someone can find the 1851 or so marriage date of John Samuel Hassick and Ellen Healy (my great-great-grandparents).
I did find the baptism transcription of their first child Mary Kate Hassick for 24 Oct 1852 (born 10 Oct 1852). The parents were given as Samuel Hassick and Joanna Healy.
The 1851 census puts John Hassick age 25 mariner, with his wife Ellen age 20 at New Checker St, 7 Spencer Square, parish of All Saints, South Lynn. The couple had moved to Hartlepool by 1855 which is where all other children were born. I tried checking the St Mary RC marriages (yes, same church name) in Hartlepool but no joy, so I think if they married, it really was in King's Lynn area. Hassick is also known as Hassock, father James Hassick also a mariner. Ellen is also known as Eleanor, father Simon Healy/Heley, also a mariner.
Huge thanks to anyone who takes on this lookup request. /DaleM

1851 is indexed as Harrick. Ellen born County Cork & John b Lynn
No marriage in England so they may have married in Ireland
-
Oh my goodness, that was a fast response! Yes Ellen was born in County Cork. Where are looking to see the Harrick record??
-
Also is there a date given in 1851?
-
A date for what? 1851 is the census you mentioned. Indexed as Harrick on Ancestry
-
oh sorry! 1851 census index on Find My Past is for Hassick. I thought you had a source for the marriage date besides the St. Mary's register as you propose the marriage took place in Ireland.
-
www.freebmd.org.uk has no marriage in England or Wales. As Ellen was from Cork & John was a mariner - they may have married in Ireland
-
Right. Crazy, but I had never considered an Ireland marriage. Because 1851 census and subsequent have multiple Healeys listed at William St in Hartlepool, which is where Ellen's daughter Elizabeth (my great-grandmother was born). Also possible that there was no marriage at all of course, but I'm hoping that John and Ellen were a conventional couple. How likely that the marriage took place at St. Mary's and didn't make it into the FreeBMD index? I've tried several wild card searches to locate... must keep on...

What year was Elizabeth born?
-
In 1861 they are indexed as Hussch and only have one child Mary aged 2 b Hartlepool. John is 33 & Ellen 30

The 1861 census under Hussch family is a really bad transcription of Hassock. :) Daughter Mary listed is Mary Kate #1.
-
"Daughter listed is Mary Kate #1" typing too fast.... Correction, that would be Mary Kate #2 in 1861. All siblings to my grandmother died of TB related illnesses.
-
I see Ellen Hassock married John Ainsley in 1866. Looks like she buried both her husband and son in March qtr 1864
John Samuel Hassock - age 0 (Listed by you above) and John Samuel Hassock aged 38

Yes, a lot of tragedy. But the last four children all made it to adulthood.
