Louisa Brocklesby b1862 Scawby Lincolnshire

[markdixon]

I'm researching the Brocklesby family from Scawby in Lincolnshire

Of particular interest:

Parents of Louisa Brocklesby b1862 in Scawby.

I believe they were John Brocklesby b1832 in Scawby and Mary b1831 in Sturton By Stow.

Does anyone have access to records that will trace / confirm Johns siblings and his parents and grandparents.

I have checked IGI but found several Brocklesbys but not conclusive relatives.

Can you help?

Thanks

She appears on the 1861 census, so a bit older than you thought

2397/74
Scawby cum Sturton
John BROCKLESBY 28 AgLab, Scawby
Mary 30 Bransby (a mile from Sturton)
Louisa 1 Scawby

1871 she is aged 11, a servant in Scawby.

Thanks Geoff.

I had thought that they were from Scawby near Brigg in Lincolnshire.

Do you know what Scawby cum Sturton means.

I had thought that they were from Scawby near Brigg in Lincolnshire.

If fact you're right!

Sturton is a village just south of Scawby.

Bransby is a mile from Sturton by Stow - a different place - a bit of a coincidence.

Check at www.streetmap.co.uk

Search for a place called Sturton and you will find them both - Sturton North Lincs, and Sturton by Stow.  You will find Bransby close to the latter.

Here's John in 1841

643-14/12
Scawby
Joseph BROCKELSBY 35 AgLab
Mary 30
Ann 9
John 8
William 7
Richard 5
Elizabeth 3

I assume we are looking for a Glanford Brigg (or Gainsborough)  marriage for them ... it's strange ... I looked earlier and saw the Spilsby one, but since then two Caistor ones seems to have appeared!

A Joseph BROCKLESBY was bap at Waddingham 10 June 1802, son of Thomas and Ann - 5 or 6 miles from Scawby ... although in the 1851 census he says born in Scawby.  In fact Tom and Ann also had some kids baptised at Scawby.
