Tom,

Thank you for looking at this for me.  I'd found the baptism and marriage you refer to and seen the 1841 census return.  I wasn't entirely  happy about tying these three together for the same reasons you mention.  I was hoping someone could see a birth or baptism of Sarah in Emsworth - to confirm something, at least!

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Howick Family Emsworth
« on: Sunday 18 March 12 14:40 GMT (UK)  »
I wonder if anyone has access to Emsworth parish records and could do a look up for me , please.  I have a Sarah Howick born c1824 in Emsworth, Hampshire.  Sarah married William Howick in 1845 but I can't find any certain sign of her in the 1841 census nor information regarding baptism, parents etc.

Anything gladly received - with thanks.

Thank you very much for the information!   You're right that is wasn't the marriage I asked about but has taken me back another generation with a maiden name I didn't have so it will, hopefully, open a few more doors.

It would seem the couple I was originally asking about did not marry where I thought they did so I'll have to do some more digging - and a bit of guessing.

Regards,

Audrey

Interesting to see a new post on this one.  I've been able to do quite a bit since this was 'live' and have notes:

"....... Two years later, on 11th September 1881, Charlotte was probably still living with her son Charles and his young, and expanding, family and re-married at the St. Mary Elms parish church.  Charlotte was now 63 years old and married a George Herbert Gladding who was a 70 year old widower.  George was a local barber giving his address as St. Mary Elms and his father as James Gladding, a butcher.  In the years since her first marriage in 1848 Charlotte had not learnt to write her own name and still had to make her mark – an ‘X’.

Charlotte was again widowed on 28th October 1890 when George Gladding died in the parish of St. Nicholas, Ipswich aged 79 years old.  An inquest was held on the same day but the cause of death on the death certificate is illegible.

In 1891 Charlotte appears on the census at an address in Mount Court, Ipswich.  Charlotte says she has no occupation but is head of the household and a widow.  Her age is given as 71 years old.  Also living at this address is Charlotte’s grandson (Charles and Caroline’s eldest son) William who is now aged 16 years old and gives his occupation as flower seller.

Charlotte died on 30th May 1895 and the death certificate says she is 76 years old.  Charlotte died of old age in the Union Workhouse in Ipswich and her death was registered by C. Grayson, the Master."

Cathy,

I have the record for John's marriage to Mary Clark or Clarke and Henry's baptism on 7th December 1817 in Mendlesham.  Father's occupation was given as wheelwright and I know from the Suffolk Records Office research that the baptism records for some of the other children of John and Mary show father's occupation as wheelwright or agricultural labourer so I'm presuming he (John) had up and down fortunes.

I'm pretty sure I have found John and Mary and the children in the 1841 and 1851 census although John and Mary's ages vary greatly.  I can find no record of Henry anywhere until his 1948 marriage to Charlotte Wright in Coddenham.  Henry was a shoemaker and I can't find him in Mendlesham or Coddenham but he may have gone further afield for some sort of shoemaking apprenticeship?  I have followed Henry after his marriage until his death.

I think Henry must have been the eldest child of John and Mary and presume he was born fairly soon after their marriage?

Did you find the birth and marriage information for John Ager on FamilySearch or elsewhere?  Do you have any confirmed information regarding the death of John and Mary as there are several possibilities listed in the death indexes?

Cath,

Thank you for the welcome!  This is my first experience of Roots - or much outside Ancestry.co.uk to be honest!

My maiden name is Ager so I'm a fairly direct descendant which makes it all the more interesting.  I had done a lot of work on Henry and his parents but only recently (this Summer) found out I'd been chasing the wrong John Ager - a John Ager from Clare who was a millwright rather than a wheelwright.  I'll take a few deep breaths here and be in touch more intelligently in the next day or so!

Thanks again,

Audrey
