Title: Harry Green who married Alice Beckett 1900
Post by: gracol on Monday 17 November 25 19:32 GMT (UK)
He was born West Hanningfield 1 Sept 1873 and married Alice Beckett ,born Sculcoates Yorks O/N/D 1876,in 1900 in Lewisham.
They are in the 1901 & 1911 censuses,and in the 1921 Census in Little Thurrock,no children and assume no children after this.
I cannot find any record of them at all after this date.
A few years ago I did post a similar request on Rootschat,but now wonder if anyone can throw any further light as to what happened after 1921,new records now available,but I cannot find anything.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Potentially they are in Little Thurrock until 1926 (electoral registers, on same page from a free search)

Speaking of Agnes Coxon, which we weren't, there could be a lady of that name on the same page as an Alice Green and a Harry Green on the 1931 electoral register, Robin Hood polling district of Nottingham.
Something to investigate?

Very intriguing, mckha.
Of couse it would be nice if Michael didn't die in France in 1916. I think some more WW1 records have come online since that thread, the pension records for example, and more newspapers of course, so we may see.

The GRO record confirms --"death 20 Aug 1938,100 Manfield Rd,64 yrs,formerly a french polisher,cardiac failure,informant A Green."
My grandfather,a year younger,apparently went "up north" to find his brother but to no avail.

Excellent, thanks for sharing the details.
Sorry your grandfather didn't find Harry, but your persistence has paid off, and your faith in Rootschat!
I wonder if Harry and Alice had been living somewhere else, between Little Thurrock and going to Alice's sister in Nottingham.

As we are discovering  from mckha's great finds, things had not been altogether straightfoward in the domestic life of Agnes!
Some fascinating stuff in those documents, well done, mckha.

I have been looking into Alice Beckett's ,and sister Agnes's forebears.
Their father was GEORGE BECKETT  1849-1888 who married Eliza Welsby 1850-1927,both in the 1851 census.
The 1861 census for Beverly St Nicholas,23 Waltham Terrace shows-
GEORGE BECKETT,stepson,11,scholar,b Yorkshire Wilfsholme.Also his brother John,13.Nobody else.
Also in the 1861 census is their sister Ann a house servant in Beswick,their sister Elizabeth a kitchen maid in Beverley.Brother James died aged 1 in Beverley according to a tree on Family Search but I cannot find this record.
The childrens father was Samuel Beckett 1821-1852,a short life.His wife a Mary Barber born 1822.
After Samuels death it would seem that Mary may have abandoned her children as I cannot find any trace of her after 1851.
Would appreciate any further info on Mary Beckett.

Many thanks for the replies Osprey & Ladyhawk,am at reply 37,that is Mary on the 1851 census.
Ref reply 37,the 1861 census--have looked at records of Mark Malam & his wife Elizabeth (nee Arksey) at No 22 and cannot find any connection with a Beckett or Welsby.
The record does clearly show the Malams at No 21 and George & John at No 23,indicating a separate dwelling.On there own !?

1861 Census: it would seem George and John were stepsons of the head of household, who was not, however, there for the census.  William Robson?

There are a number of mis-spelled or mis-transcribed place-names in Mary Rob(in)son's 1861 record:
Catton, Beswick or Barwick, Leckonfield (now Leconfield).  "Rumbridge" not found.

(Added) At Leckonfield there was also no head of household; Elizabeth is "wife" and Farmer's wife, married.  So where were the menfolk?

It would be a five mile walk home to Beverley!

As Samuel Beckett was an agricultural labourer in 1851, it seems likely John and George were born at one of the farms.

I have had a very prompt reply from NLS Maps who have explained they are in the middle of scanning another set of 6-inch maps which are being loaded as single sheets, and will replace the damaged one in the continuous layer, when the set is finished.

Still looking to see if I can find her in 1841.

There doesn’t appear to be an online marriage image to confirm who this Mary Beckett married - you would need to obtain the marriage certificate to see whether she is the correct Mary Beckett

The above appears to be the death entry for the burial posted by Osprey - not sure whether obtaining the instant digital image from GRO would be of any help though

osprey Thank you for confirming the details of the 1843 marriage - that would confirm the 1822 baptism detail I posted (see reply 48) - Mary Barber dau of John Barber, grocer & Ann Foster

A shame the 1860 marriage is not online to confirm that Mary Beckett father's name  ???

gracol - the 1843 marriage osprey posted Mary Beckett occ servant residence Walkergate perhaps that might help you find her on the 1841 census

Further to my Reply #49 (page 6)

From the baptisms of Mary and Jane Barber, and from two directories, there is evidence that John Barber moved his grocery business from Selby to Beverley between 1822 and 1828.  This list reduces the gap.  Ann Foster Barber may have been born at her grandmother's house as was frequently the case for first babies.

the Barbers are in Walker Gate in Beverley in 1841 - see census on reply no.48.

Thank you osprey for adding the address which I omitted from my post  ::)
Mary obviously gave her family address on her 1843 marriage perhaps she was not in the household the day of the census  :-\

In the 1841 census, the age of persons over 15 was supposed to be rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5. For example, a person aged 19 would be listed as 15, a person aged 22 would be listed as age 20..........

Perhaps one to bear in mind - although no occupation given

It seems it was a very sad period for Agnes Coxon when married in 1916 to Michael Anthony Coxon .Looking through all those very interesting records ,as far as I can see Agnes never saw her husband again after he left England in 1917.
Reply 31,Item 45,in 1917 he applied for and was granted a free passage to Australia for Agnes but it seems this never happened.Then in 1920 Agnes's letter to the mining co pleading for help for his return to England.He died in 1925 in Melbourne.
I think all of this is correct ??
Michael also says he has been a resident in Australia for 25 years which means he arrived there around 1893 (he was born in London in 1883).I cannot find any England census record for him,or any voyage record.
Again any help greatly appreciated.

Many thanks for the reply Ladyhawk.
I had found the interesting Lodge records.
The census record certainly fits and the date is just prior to his presumed emigration around 1893.
