Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / Re: Maria Couzens
« on: Monday 26 September 22 09:35 BST (UK)  »
I have yes. I was going to try and send the image but not sure how to do it.
They are:
María
Thomas
James
Robert Henry.
I also have baptism dates.
I just wish I could find out what happened to Solomon and the boys although I think Robert Henry died young.  :(

Hi Rosie. Thank you for the information. Yes I found the birth for Maria in 1815 but then a death was linked to her for 1820  ???. My mistake, it is in the 1851 census it states she is a daughter (so the death entry doesn’t make sense).
It pretty much seems that Maria (Mother) was married to Solomon Adams first and then Richard Bailey afterwards. If I could have found a death for Solomon that would have explained the situation but have still had no luck. Thank you for the lead on Maria Hull being a widow and remarrying. I’ll check it out tomorrow. Have a good evening. Xx

Thank you both. I’m just scrolling through the 1841 and 1851 census. If this is the right person (Maria), she is married to Richard Bailey. This looks like her 2nd marriage and she is older than Richard by 5 years. There is a Maria (Hull) daughter aged 25 and then younger children. On the 1851 census, daughter Maria is 36 and changed her name to Bailey.
I managed to find a birth for daughter Maria to Solomon and Maria Cousens but it says she died in 1820.
Still no death found for Solomon though. It’s all very confusing.  ???

Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / Maria Couzens
« on: Sunday 25 September 22 14:15 BST (UK)  »
Good afternoon,
I am hoping someone can guide me in the right direction please.
Maria was my 4th G Grandmother.  On a birth certificate I obtained for one of her children, her maiden name is listed as Cousens (1837).
She married Richard Bailey and on the 1841 census, she is 45 and he is 40.
The only marriage I have found is in Alverstoke between Richard Bailey and a Maria Adams.  This has got me thinking she may have been married before.  I then found a marriage between a Soloman Adams and Maria Couzens.  Thus far I have not managed to find a death for Soloman Adams.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Yes, I’m afraid that there have been many posts in the past. I got to the stage where he was driving me insane, hence I stopped.

So…… on Violet’s marriage certificate is says he was a labourer (1905).

On Rose’s he was a Railway Guard (1912)

On is first marriage it says he was a Railway Guard (1870)

On the 1871 census he was a Railway Guard.

His first wife’s death certificate he was a iron forger.

At his son Williams birth he was a Railway Goods Guard (1880)

1881 Census - Railway Goods Guard.

Lilys birth - insurance agent (1890)

On Annie’s death certificate she is listed as Widow of William Burnett - General Labourer (deceased).

I have been working on this all day and am no further forward.

I really do appreciate the work and time you have put into this to try and help me. Thank you 😊

Hi. Thank you all for your replies. I need to really digest them.
On the railway record I have his DOB is 25 March….the record is dated 1879 and he is 29 years old. NBR 5 years and NER 2 years. This is in Normanton, Wakefield.
I have been looking for his parents marriage but tbh have no idea where they came from.
I have read on one of the thousands of papers I have that he was born in Keppochill, Lanarkshire but this has drawn a blank.
I even took a trip to the Liverpool records office a few years ago but couldn’t find anything (a census states he was from Liverpool).

When his sons both died in WW1 in 1916, James Burnetts records (04 June) say son of Annie MA Burnett. Gladstone records (11 June) say son of William and Annie Burnett - strange!

I had not come across the 1921 census but this sounds correct - thank you.

The last mention of him is on his son’s (William again) death certificate as informant.

Again thank you all. I am going to check out everything you’ve found.

Hi, Thank you for your message.  William has been an enigma for years.
The information I have is: 
William Burnett, according to Railway records he was born 25 March 1889 in Keppochill Lanarkshire, Scotland (birth not found yet).
Father William Burnett, Mother Elizabeth (Robertson).
First marriage to Elizabeth Easton 28 Oct 1870 in Barony, Lanarkshire - William's father is down as being a Private in the 11th Regt of Foot (deceased).
1871 Census William living with wife Elizabeth - Maryhill, Lanarkshire.
Elizabeth then died.
Second marriage Annie Maria Alma Cook, Carlisle - 15 Nov 1877 - Marriage certificate obtained.  Father is down as William Burnett (deceased) Second Lt 11th Regt of Foot (Huge promotion :D).
1881 Census - William, Annie  and son William living in Normanton, Wakefield.
1891 Census - William missing from census - Annie down as wife - living with children.
Children -
William b.1880 Normanton, Wakefield. Died 8 April 1889 Carlisle- Birth and death cert obtained.
Violet Emma b1883 Newcastle upon Tyne.
James b.1885 Gateshead Durham. D. 4 June 1916.
Gladstone b.1886 Newcastle upon Tyne. D. 11 June 1916.  Birth certificate obtained.
Rose b. 3 May 1887 (Great Grandmother) Birth never found but death cert obtained.
Lily b. 16 May 1890 South Shields. D. 25 March 1993. Birth and death cert obtained.

Young Williams death in 1889 was noted as William (Father) as informant.
Lily's death in 1993. Informant was Annie.

On the 1901 Census Annie is listed as wife and married.
1911 Census Annie is married but Head of household.

William seems to have been absent from 1889 onwards.

Sorry this seems a lot of info for you. It is really the birth and death of William that is stumping us.  On one of the census he is listed as being born in Liverpool, Lancashire but I think this maybe an error for Lanarkshire.

Any help would be appreciated.  I have had many people try to help in the past and have found extra info but I seem to be going round in circles.

Many many thanks  ???

Thank you so much. Unfortunately it is not our William. I’ve rejoined Ancestry but still struggling with him. I really appreciate your help.  :)
