Hi Jean
             
          Welcome, hope we can help. With ref to 1841 census,I have the following. Which doesn't seem to tie in with your folio numbers.

               HO107 98 7 F2 Horton with Peele

Joseph Beckett  40   farmer     born in county
Margaret   ~      35                    ~          ~
Joseph      ~        7                    ~          ~
John          ~       1                     ~          ~

                  HO107 98 17 F3 Crowton

Thomas Beckett  34  farmer     born in county
Elizabeth            37 
Henry                  9
William                7
Ellen                    5
Alice                    3
James                 1

As you say they do not appeer as a family in the area in 1851,
can you tell me where,who, and when you have them next, I will try to work backwards from there.
I assume you have checked the BMD for them ?

Thanks Peter for the image.

I have checked freebmd and Cheshirebmd but no luck there, I'm looking mainly for the death of either Thomas or Elizabeth, but 10 years is alot to search on 1837 online.

I have Henry in 1851.  He is at Dairy House, Over working as a farm servant for William Darlington and family on a 255 acre farm.  The reference is 2166/133 Page 10-11.

I also have Alice in 1851.  She is at Cuddington with William Youd and his family.  She is described as a visitor, but he may be her uncle as her mother's maiden name was Youd.  The reference is 2165/43 Page 4.

I can't find parents or any of the other siblings in 1851.  I have the census for areas 2162, 2163, 2164, 2165 and 2166.

I don't have any access to either the 1861 or 1871 census records for Cheshire. 

In 1881 Henry is farming Bank Farm, Stanthorne, married with children (ref 3531/75 Page 2).
In 1881 William is working as a printer and living at 109 Pentonville Rd, Middlesex (ref 0349/10 Page 15).
In 1881, Alice has married Robert Fair, a wine merchant and is living at Hills Lane, Aughton, Lancs (ref 3744/22 Page 38).
In 1881 James has a grocer's shop at Cuddington, married with a young family (ref 3520/78 Page 15).

I have Henry, Alice and James in 1891, but not William.
I have Alice, William and James in 1901 (Henry died in 1898).

I can't find Ellen after 1841. 

I would love to find out what happened to them and why they had been separated.  Any help gratefully received!

Hi Jean

I have found William in 1891, according to the 1881 he should have a son Charles about 15 born Northwich  with them, but not found as yet.
Suspect William being in Northwich in 1871, unfortunately I do not have access to that census as yet.

Name Age in 1891 Birthplace Relationship to head-of-house Civil parish County 
 
Becket, Sarah 51 London Wife  Islington  London   
Becket, William 56 Cheshire Head  Islington  London 


Source information:    RG12/171
Registration district:    Islington 
Sub registration district:    Islington South 
ED, institution, or vessel:    32 
Folio:    103 
Page:    55

I have most of the Cheshire 1851 so I will search the areas that you do not have,but it is looking as if the missing family moved out of the county. If you have any marriage certs for the children does it say whether the father Thomas is deceased or not and still a farmer ?
This would give an idea as to when to look for his death.

Peter,

Thanks for all your help with this, I'll get the image of the 1891 for William.  I know where Charles is in 1891, he is living with William's brother James and wife Martha back in Cheshire and described as their son (ref 2835/81 Page 14).  Charles is still with James and Martha in 1901 (ref 3338/91 Page 16).

I have the marriage certificate of Henry Beckett and Annie Pennell, 18/04/1872.  Thomas Beckett is described as a farmer, but there is nothing to suggest he has already died - I think because of the separation of the family I had assumed he had died, but you're quite right, they could have had a change in circumstances and had to move.

I'll recheck what I have access to as well and see what I can come up with.

Thanks again,
Jean

Hi Peter

Thanks for the info on Mary Roberts. I'd convinced myself her mother's name would turn out to be Mary which shows how careful one must be not to jump to conclusions. It'll be interesting to see what the census turns up and what other family members there are.

I'm going to Asutralia in a couple of weeks to visit my son and his family and will be back the first week in October although I hope to be able to pick up my emails whilst I'm there - I'll have to ask my son to explain in words of one syllable how I go about it!.

Thank you once again,
Rosemarie.

Hello Kate
I believe I can help with Jane Boome Banks.
She married Cephas Wyatt and lived at Blackshaw Farm Glossop.
Their Children Joe Rivers Wyatt and Helen Wyatt went to Canada early 1900s.
I am researching Wyatts.My maternal great grandfather came to Australia 1800s.Cephas was his brother.
There is a monument to Cephas in Glossop Cemetery.
I would like to exchange more information.
I hope this makes sense as it is my first posting.

Further to my Beckett postings, I've met with some success thanks to an 1871 lookup which found Elizabeth (widowed), married daughter Ellen, and extra son Thomas living in Onston.

Thomas was born in Grappenhall in 1846 and and 1851 lookup of Beckett in Grappenhall found the family + 2 more children living there.   

So thanks all for your help with this, I think I'm stuck now until the 1861 Cheshire is indexed!

Hi

I am researching the Broomfield and Harvey Family from Audlem Cheshire.

My Gr Gr Grandmother Fanny Broomfield or Bromfield
born c1850 in Audlem Cheshire.
Married a Charles Harvey in 1873 at Audlem St James Church
On 1881 census they were living at Little Heath Audlem Cheshire
with their children Sarah b 1873,Mary b 1875, Martha b1878, Charles Henry b 1880, John b1883.
Charles snr died in 1883.
Fanny then went on to live with (can't find marriage) a George Beech.
I am trying find who Charles Harvey snr and Fanny Broomfield or Bromfield parents were.
I have found Fanny's Grave in Audlem Cementary,Cheshire she is in the same grave as a Mary Harvey who died aged 57 in 1876 and a Ann Billington who died aged 21 also in 1876.
Any help would be appreciated.
