Nottinghamshire links

[Knellie]

Found following family links in 1881 Census, who all seemed to have moved from Derbys/Notts to settle in Lancashire.  Would be interested to hear from anyone who may be researching any of the following........

Emily S F Widdowson 37yrs & sons in Hulme Lancs

Adelaide Fletcher 34 yrs (sister of above) with husband Adam & 8 children!! in Beswick Lancs

Jane F G Rangeley 31 yrs (sister of the above) with husband John & 8 children also in Hulme Lancs

Charles W J Henson 30 yrs (brother of above) with wife & in-laws in Newton Lancs

Any clues/advice appreciated!

Knellie,
Some more info.

George Widdowson married Martha Hall in 1846 at St. Mary's, Manchester

Jane F G Hall married John Rangeley in 1867 at St. Paul's, Hulme

Adelaide E Henson married Adam Fletcher in 1865 at Holy Trinity, Hulme

I can't find Emily S F, what was her husbands & childrens names ?

Regards, Dave

Widdowson family at Warwick Street Hulme in 1881 - Emily Sophia Francis (37 yrs in 1881) may have got married in Notts (not sure about her husband yet) as her son William J G (18 yrs in 1881) is shown as being born there about 1863. The younger sons Arthur C. (14 yrs in 1881) Francis H. (8 yrs in 1881) are shown as being born in Manchester.

All the other references fit - thanks for clarifying where they married.

Hi Knellie,
Are you still researching this family? I have a family connection and lots of info.
Emily/Adelaide/Jane/Charles were children of Miss Elizabeth Sophia Grey, of a Nottinghamshire gentry family (at Ruddington House), who eloped with her teenage manservant William Henson, and her Aunt Jane (who had all the money) initially cut Elizabeth out of her will for marrying beneath her!

Let me know if you want more of the story!

Jim W.

Thank you both

Very interested in finds - but have had to put research on hold for time being.

However would love to know more about the history of Elizabeth and William!!
