Fresh Eyes Needed Please - 1871 Census lookup - Completed thank you

[Kingsgrove]

Just found your old post mentioning James Delisle and Hannah Baines.  I have them (indirectly) on my Family Tree.  Did you know that their daughter Mary Jane and her husband Thomas Noon can be found on the 1881 census (with their six children) under the surname Croow?  Not surprisingly, it took me ages to find them!
Kath, do you have a further information on James Delisle or Thomas Noon?

Hi, apologies for the late reply, I am afraid I do not much about James Delisle, he and Hannah married on 4th Apr 1842.  On the marriage cert his occupation is Mariner and his father is William Delisle, Farmer.   Hannah remarries in 1844.

I have not looked into Thomas Noon, so am afraid cannot help there, apart from tracing them in the censuses and yes had found them in 1881!

Hi Kath
Thank you for the additional information on James Delisle, which I did not have.  Every little helps.  I've also read all your messages re. his wife, Hannah Baines - quite a character.  Someone like that in your family tree makes research so much more interesting!
Kind regards.

Hi Kath,

I just wanted to say thanks for the information you posted here about the DeLisle family - I'm married to a direct descendent of Thomas Noon and Mary Jane Delisle, although they are a new descovery for us. If I can be of use to you in any way helping track down this branch, please let me know.

Regards,

Gemma

Hi Gemma,

Nice to hear from you.  As you can see this new discovery of yours, is a very interesting part of the family :-)

Thought you might like to know that Mary Jane Delisle had an illegitimate child, whom sadly died at 11 days old from a 'debility from birth'.  The date of death was 28th Oct 1864 and it was in the Workhouse, Anlaby Rd, Hull.  Informant: Mary Jane Delisle, mother, a domestic servant.

Ebenezer George Weeks, (husband no 4 of 5 of Mary Jane Delisles mother), went to Australia with a new wife, although he ended up abandoning her.  There is a thread on rootschat about him, where I was helped tracking him by some kind rootschatters.  Also if you google him you will find newspaper articles about him, one of them of his death in Australia, blind and poor.

Kind Regards,
Kath

Wow kath, they certainly are a bunch of characters!

Do you know much about Mary Ann Noon? Was Mary Jane her mother, or is she another illegitimate child only from Thomas?

Until very recently we did not know the family tree beyond the name of my father-in-law's grandfather, and it is great to finally be starting to fill in some of the blanks. We knew there was a scandal of some sort, but we weren't expecting someone like Elizabeth Baines to show up on the tree.

You would think a surname like "noon" would be easy to research, although it has proven to be the hardest branch on the tree so far.  Can I ask how you are linked on the tree? I'm happy to share any future discoveries with you if they can help. I forsee me spending a lot of time on A******y in the next few weeks.

Hi Gemma,

Afraid I don't know much about Mary Ann Noon, apart from her birth is registered in the qtr Dec 1866, Thomas Noon and Mary Jane Delisle married on 25th May 1868!

This is my husbands side of the family he is descended from Mary Jane Delisles half sister Catherine Elizabeth Hendricksen (Hannah Baines second husband).  The shenanigans carried on with Catherine, although to give some credit, she did only have the one husband 

Hannah Baines certainly was a character, I would love to go back in time, to see if she was abandoned by her husbands, or she just tired of them!
