Lincolnshire / Re: Berry Houlton

Hello Spacey 4. Sorry I have not been on here for a while, I had a close family bereavement.
Regarding our grandparents it would be good to share any information.  I am still stuck on a brick wall with Berry.

Thankyou.  I think I am going to have to get Berry's death certificate in the hope it gives me more information such as a nickname!  as his wife was still alive at the time of his death.

Thanks rutht22000,

Berry was in Barton Regis workhouse in Gloucestershire on the 1891 census. He was an inmate aged 36 years and a general labourer of Ruskett, Lincolnshire.  Ruskington is a village not far from Anwick where he was baptised with the rest of his family.

Thank you for helping.

Berry Houlton Mawer was baptised at Anwick, Lincolnshire the son of Peter Mawer and Elizabeth Houlton.  Elizabeth is one of my ancestors and because of hitting a 'brick wall' I have decided to try working sideways. 

The marriage at St Matthais Bristol, looks promising, I have used Freebmd and Family Search to help get so far.  In 1881 Berry was at Lincoln with his sister, he was named then as Bertie H Moore.  He was working as a labourer on the railway, which explains how he could have been in Bristol. 

Question why wasn't his wife Louisa in the workhouse?

Gloucestershire / Louisa Mawer/Moore nee Dafter
« on: Saturday 11 July 15 19:35 BST (UK)  »
Any help in finding Louisa Mawer/Moore nee Dafter would be appreciated. 

Fanny Dafter married Berry Houlton Mawer in 1885 in the Bristol area of Gloucester.  (Surname Mawer)

They had a child Fanny Elizabeth Mary Ann Mawer baptised 3 August 1884 at Holy Trinity, Bristol. 

Berry Moore died at Barton Regis in 1893, presumable in the workhouse as he was there in 1891.

My questions are - Did they marry at Holy Trinity, Bristol?  Was anyone named? Where were they living?  Did they have more children?  What happened to Louisa and her child? 

Thankyou.

Have you tried using the British Newspaper Archive on line?  Might be worth checking.

Have you searched the parish registers? 

Eagle, the village next to Swinethorpe,  has a Sarah being baptised to John and Mary Brooks, of Swinethorpe.  John's occupation given as blacksmith.

if you try lincstothepast.com web site (free) you will be able to see most parish records.
Click on advanced search.
Type in Sleaford par on the first line
then marriage on the second line. 
then scroll down to see the year you need. 
The archives have some copies of marriage licences, they do give more information,names and relationships. Good luck.
