Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: Ivy Cain in 1911 Census
« on: Tuesday 15 April 25 18:47 BST (UK) »
Thank you all for sorting that out for me. I didn't have access to the original scan. Thomas had one son and four daughters all married by 1911, so for a grandchild to have the Cain surname she would have been my grandad.s sister and I would have known.

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Ivy Cain in 1911 Census
« on: Tuesday 15 April 25 10:43 BST (UK) »
My Great grandfather Thomas Cain was not at home in Halifax with his family for the 1911 Census. He seems to be a visitor in Glasshoughton at a large family of Smiths. At the very bottom of the list is another visitor Ivy Cain aged three. I am completely unaware of the existence of Ivy and wonder if the 1921 Census will give information on whose child she was. A look-up please.

Nottinghamshire Lookup Requests / Re: Marriage banns
« on: Saturday 12 April 25 17:28 BST (UK) »
Thank you Rosie99 and BumbleB. I'm not sure where and when Edward was born and his age differs on every census from 1841 to 1881. However I do know Edward Worthington Corkwell was baptised on 10th December 1799. The same spelling 'Cockwell' was transcribed from the 1861 census but a close examination of the actual scan shows it is in fact Corkwell.

Nottinghamshire Lookup Requests / Marriage banns

My GG granddad appears as Edward Corkwell in Censuses through the 1800s but the only baptism I can find is of Edward Worthington Corkwell in December 1799, son of William Corkwell and wife Sarah nee Worthington. I did come across marriage banns for this couple in 1798 but now can't find any trace of a marriage. Would welcome any clues.

Derbyshire Lookup Requests / Re: Esther first Booth then Corkwell, Booth again then Brown

You've found pretty much all there is to be found thank you. I may never know what caused the name changes but it seems vey likely that My GGGrandfather William Booth was in fact William Corkwell and I should search that line rather than Booth to find earlier ancestors.

Why would I not accept illegitimacy in my ancestors? After all I can't change it 
I have one ancestor who was transported following many jail terms so am realistic. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
By the way when James Corkwell married in 1873 he used the Booth name not Brown.

Thanks once more amondg that's very interesting. I notice that in the 1871 Census Edward is residing in Bulwell Nottinghamshire and described as an 'inmate'. I haven't seen a scan of the actual page and don't know whether he could have been in a workhouse or a prison. But there's a chance something happened to cause his family to change their names.

Many thanks amondg. I wonder if there are marriages which didn't get included in the GRO registers. Otherwise they were lying in 2 Censuses which are official Government documents. But she married Henry Brown when Edward (Corkwell,Cockwell) was still alive probably. It seems there were up to 8 or so children all registered with Edward"s surname but later changed to Mother's maiden name. Was it that easy to change your surname in those days?
