Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Where were they married George A Morton and Florina Donnelly March 1910

George was RC as well. In fact my Dad, Thomas (b1914), brother to George Allinson (b1911) was sent to RC schools with brother in Canada and Oxford. Can only think family's didn't agree with marriage?

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Where were they married George A Morton and Florina Donnelly March 1910

I have my Grandfather, George Allinson Morton (b1885) marrying Florina Donnelly (b1887) in Toxteth Park 16th March 1910 - from his own handwritten genealogy records. I can find that in the BMD records but she was definitely RC. I have searched the RC marriage records on the Liverpool site but cannot find where they were married. Also they are in Kuching (Sarawak) where their son George Allinson is born 6th April 1911 - so was wondering if they married in a registry office before setting sail for the Far East. Any thoughts? Thanks

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Re: Haysom in Hamble a baker by profession

Hi Ray
Our building has been a "shop" for many years - photo evidence.
We dismantled the doorway in 2005 and generally uncovered many years of lintels - the "Haysom" one was the original embedded in the brickwork.

As far as beer houses - we have the King and Queen opposite, The Bugle down the road and The Victory up the road - all houses/buildings are the same period - except opposite which is definitely Queen Anne - steep roof - so all about the same period  1750/60s

Thanks for your replies.
My problem is our building is in the "High Street" and none have numbers, so cannot pin point exact occupants. Copper Hill is a definite area off the square, so can rule the Bath family out.

I spoke to Hampshire records office and they said we would not know the route the censor took to record, so 1841 he may have walked down one side and up the other, but in 1851 he may have crossed backwards and forwards across the High Street ???

Would people have owned these properties at this time, or would they have been rented from Earl of Hardwicke or the property owner of the time - how can I follow that line of enquiry?
Thanks again for your helpful suggestions so far

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Haysom in Hamble a baker by profession

Trying to piece together who owned/ran a business in Hamble 1840/50. Our building is grade II listed and when we renovated, the original lintel over the door has the name HAYSOM, so would like some help.
William Haysom was born in Hamble 1814 and in 1851 census is a baker in Southampton,

We know from1861 census the Norris family are in residence, they are bakers and run the shop until 1915.

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: John Morton m Elizabeth Bagshaw m Elizabeth Morley
« on: Friday 24 January 14 21:26 GMT (UK)  »
From other input, it looks like John married Eliz Bagshaw while still married to Eliz Morley - so query is now - who do the children come from - William b 1815 to Ann b 1822? My GGGrandfather was born 1821 and apparently to John and Eliz Morley!
Maybe there is a bit of a mix up here?
Any clues - I am stuck here!
Thanks

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: John Morton m Elizabeth Morley 24 Oct 1811 Doncaster

Thank you for looking, but I am not sure about this!
John and Elizabeth had several children from 1815 until 1822, many I have traced forward successfully.

Just wondering whether John married Eliz Morley 24th Oct 1811 and then as a bigamist, married Eliz Bagshaw (listed as a widow and so was he!) when he married her 1814?

John and Eliz (which one?) did have John Morton (son) b May 9, 1821 in Doncaster - our GGGrandfather - the plot thickens, especially as I cannot find the deaths of either Eliz!

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / John Morton m Elizabeth Morley 24 Oct 1811 Doncaster

I am trying to find out when and why Elizabeth dies! John remarries Nov 28 1814 to Elizabeth Bagshaw - both are down as Widows at this wedding.
John is listed as "from Sheffield and draper" at first wedding
So far I cannot find a death for first wife but wondered if it is connected to birth of son Miles circa 1812?
Any clues gratefully appreciated! Thanks
