There is also another one in Hull in the 1930 or 40's from memory.

There is a death registration in 1952, at Hull, for a Louisa Spofforth who was born c1882 but I think that this person was probably born as Louisa White and married Amos Spofforth in 1903.

There does not seem to have ever been another birth registration for anyone of that name (or slight variations thereof) apart from the lady registered in Ecclesall Bierlow in 1882.

There does not seem to have ever been a marriage registration for a Mr Spofford to a Louisa (or slight variations of either name).

Therefore, any death registration for the name Louisa Spofford (or slight variation thereof) stands a good chance of being her (wherever it was located). With that in mind, the following is a possibility ....

1921 Q1 Croydon 2a 462 - Louisa Spoffard, aged 38

In 1944 (Q4) 9b 828, William J Oxberry married Winifred Burke. The marriage was registered in Leeds.

Click here for a link to an interesting birth in 1847 in Falkirk, Scotland

It might be coincidence, but it is also interesting that Charles Matthewman is living with a John and Elizabeth Bailiff on the 1841 census. Both are shown as being from Yorkshire and John is a Cordwainer, aged about 35. Elizabeth is aged about 40.

Referring back to the marriage of Mary Waite, here are the details taken from "West Yorkshire, England, Marriages and Banns, 1813-1922" ....

26th October 1867 at St Peter, Birstall, William Rothery, aged 21, Bachelor, Carpet Weaver married Mary Waite, aged 19, Spinster. Their respective fathers were Thomas Rothery, Shoemaker and Edward Waite, Carpet Weaver.

I think it is possible that Edward’s wife, Eliza, died in 1864 (Q2) in Birmingham 6d 90 and that he then married Harriet Nix in 1864 (Q4) in Aston 6d 396.

John Thomas Waite born 1860 does not seem to appear on any census after 1861. On that census the family were living in Birmingham. There is a death registered in Birmingham in 1861 (Q3) 6d 54, for a John Thomas Waite which might be him.

In 1867, a Mary Waite married a William Rothery in the Dewsbury area. That couple appear on the 1871 census at reference RG10/4593/14/21. She is the right age with the right birthplace. Might be worth further investigation. William Rothery might have been the witness at George Waite's wedding in 1867.

Try RG10/4962/135/51 for an incorrectly transcribed Edward Waite - born 1850, Carpet Weaver from Heckmondwike.
