Dublin / Re: 1901 Dublin Census
« on: Tuesday 15 March 16 22:08 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks to you both. I do believe she might have gone insane. She had 8 children and they all died at different ages. I never thought of an asylum but that makes sense as to why the wife was added after the boarder. The enumerator probably asked who lived in the house and then asked him who his wife was. The husband gave the information and realized she wasn't deaf, dumb, blind etc and had her crossed out. Plus it would explain why he would not give further information. There was a stigma to insanity.I will never know for sure, but it makes some sense to me now.

Dublin / 1901 Dublin Census
« on: Tuesday 15 March 16 19:14 GMT (UK)  »
Good Day,
On the 1901 Dublin Census a line is crossed out. It is the wife of the man living there. Underneath it says " Further Information Declined". However, the transcriber recorded the crossed out person. The last column gives an illness that is transcribed as "insafed".
I have attached the block with original by enumerator. Does anyone have any idea what her illness may have been? I believe this block was only for Deaf, Dumb, Blind?Imbecile. Another interesting thing is the husband is named first as married, then the next person is a woman who is a cook and then the wife is listed and then crossed out. It doesn't make sense to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated  :)

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: Missing Yorkshire Birth/Baptism Record for Joseph Wilman

I would like to thank everyone for their help :) My difficulty is that I do not live in UK and everything I do is either by internet or telephone.
Sarah thank you so much for your support. You don't know how much I appreciate your words.
And I am going to try calling The Roots Cellar and see if they can give me some advice.
And I am definitely going to check out Joseph Wilman under his mother's maiden name Fanny Thompson.
I did find a baptism on Ancestry for a Joseph Wilman on June 13, 1824 in Thornton by Bradford that gives the mother's name as Fanny. There is no mention of a father. I will have to dig into this. Just don't know where to begin.
Thanks

Thanks again.

Hello,
I have simply run out of ideas as to where I can find the Birth/Baptism of my gr gr grandfather's birth/baptism record. I have memberships with both Ancestry and FindMyPast. I found Joseph marrying Susan Buckley in May 1841 in Birstal, Yorkshire. Joseph gave his father's name as Ambrose Wilman. I found Joseph and Susan Wilman in the 1841 Census. They were in the same house as Susan's mother and father - Thomas and Martha Buckley. Living with Joseph and Susannah is James, who I believe is Joseph's brother. I found James baptism and his mother and father were Fanny and Ambrose Wilman. I have found all of Ambrose and Fanny (nee Thompson) Wilman's children. Some were baptized in Church of England, some in the Wesleyan Church and some were baptized in both churches. I cannot find anything on Joseph Wilman's birth/baptism. I found Joseph in the 1841, 1851 Censuses and he gives his birth year as 1817 and birth place as Dewsbury, Yorkshire. He died in 1859 and was buried in Westown on March 9, 1859. He was 42 years old.
Can anybody help me to find Joseph Wilman's Birth/baptism? I need to validate this information in order to confirm that Ambrose was his true father.
Thank you.
