Yorkshire (North Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: A Marriage between a Walter ROBINSON and a Beatrice SNAITH pre 1926 Richmond?
« on: Yesterday at 21:58 »
Dundee,
I greatly fear that I have rather ignored your considered post earlier on this thread, busily chasing my own tail and coming face to face with nothing but dead ends.  I’ve looked back at that 1939 Electoral Roll entry and see that Beatrice gives her birth date as June 24th 1893, whereas the GRO death entry in 1973 it is a 24th June 1894 entry. 
Very recent input from a family memory suggests strongly that the West Hartlepool location could well be where Beatrice started life.  Entirely possible then, if with that August 1892 baptism, Beatrice could well have come into the world on the 24th June - but in 1892.  Perhaps need to send away for that birth cert now.
With confusion in later years about the exact year of her birth, but day and month somehow clearly marked and remembered…

A bit of an update for all you kind Rootschatters who have been trying to solve this mystery/brick wall for me…
I notice that there is in fact a Jan 1931 marriage in Lanchester for an Elizabeth Beatrice SNAITH to an Ernest BURTON.  Which rather puts an end to the idea that this woman became the wife of Walter ROBINSON in the Richmond area.
As well as this I’ve this morning received the 8th Sept 1927 birth certificate of George Keith ROBINSON that gives his mother’s name as Beatrice Muriel ROBINSON formerly SNAITH.
Sending us along another trail…

…and I’ve had another look - the 1939 Electoral Roll gives Beatrice’s birthdate as 24th June 1893, whereas the GRO death index gives it as 24th June 1894.  More confusion…

Great, Neale, so nobody travelled very far to get on with the next stage in their lives…

…oh, and yes, Neale 1961 had forgotten all about the printed transcriptions provided these days.  Many thanks for that too…

Hi again Jen B!
And in almost record response time too, you are most probably right on the money with that suggestion.  Many thanks…
Keith
Can I also ask if Greta Bridge is far away from Richmond, which was where the first of Christopher and Sarah ROBINSON’s five children was born, before the next four were birthed in Richmond?

Hi,
Been making good progress through the Censuses in Richmond with several generations born there of the ROBINSON family.
But then by the 1851 Census there’s an “outsider” born in a place I can’t decipher.  A long word beginning with a B…
Details: a Christopher ROBINSON aged 60, head of the family living at Albert Place, Richmond.  HO 107 and is 2381 the page number?
Can anyone help me with it, please…?

Yes, that’s the individual I have my beady eye on, with no other alternative in sight at the moment!
Lanchester only 40 miles or so away from Richmond…
At least SNAITH is not too common a name, (nor Beatrice as a forename, I suppose) though I did wonder whether there might have been a colossal mistranscription somewhere along the line, with SNAITH become the much more common SMITH.  The n and the a fusing into an m with someone’s handwritten script.

Colin,
Thanks very much for spending all that time researching this family conundrum for me.  That the theory might in fact be that Walter ROBINSON could have been marrying a widowed Beatrice BUTTERWORTH some time between 1917 or 1923 and before 1926?
The only problem is that the precise date of birth of 24th June 1893 that Beatrice is given at her death in 1973 is also recorded on that 1939 Electoral Register.  Which presumably she or her husband were able to provide to the enumerator who came knocking…

Bumblebee,
Thanks so much for your swift response…
And I see that with the exact birthdates given on there that I can clearly identify Walter’s birth registration on the GRO, though the only possible fit for Beatrice would be an Elizabeth Beatrice, (I had a further look elsewhere) SNAITH born in the Stockton reg district in Sept 1893 q.  More precisely an individual who lived in the village of Lanchester, not many miles from Durham…
