Hi lizdb,
Thanks for doing all that work for me I really appreciate it.
Robert Mortimer b1846 Marlingford, and Hannah Littleboy b1843 East Tuddenham, got married in St. Pancras in 1868 and they had 3 children Pheobe Eliza b1869 in Kentish Town, Edward George 1871 Kentish Town, and John Arthur born 25th November 1872 in Marlingford.
John Arthur was also baptised at Marlingford in 1872, but I'm not sure what date it was because I've lost my copy of the baptism page.
In 1874 Hannah Littleboy has another daughter Ellen born in Darlington and Ellen's father is John Ward. This is taken from the 1881 census. So between 1872 and 1874, Robert Mortimer goes missing, and Hannah is with John Ward, I can't find a death for Robert Mortimer or a marriage to John Ward.
I found a death cert for John Arthur Ward:
Death Certificate Sub district of Darlington Counties of York and Durham No. 15
12th February 1874 Dalton Street, Darlington John Arthur Ward Male 15 months Son of John Ward - Labourer Cause of death: Tabes Mesenterica - Certified Informants Name and residence: Catherine Wise present at death of Dalton Street, Darlington Registered on 12th February, 1874 Registrar: William Sewell - Deputy Registrar
I've always had my doubts about if this is the correct death cert, his age is about right but John Ward is a very common name. So I was hoping to solve the puzzle by discovering is burial record and maybe some record of the missing Robert Mortimer.
Best wishes,
Leodis
