1861 census York House of Correction COMPLETE

[Ceeoh]

Could SKS assist with a look up for Mary (Ann) Smith, age +- 25 years, who was in the House of Correction, York, 1861 census.

Many thanks

Do you know where Mary was born?

Sorry Sue, unfortunately not.  I was given to understand it was in the York area!!!

Also on the census somewhere in York is a James? Smith with a four year old son Joseph, these two facts - Mary in the house of Correction and a "single parent" father Smith with a four year old named Joseph, may put me on the track of my g-grandmother who in 1901 gives her birthplace as a "non-existent" Ogleven or Egleven near York! 

Prior to that she always gave her birthplace as Guisborough but she is not to be found prior to 1863.  I was hoping the 1861 census would enlighten where this Mary in the House of Correction was born.

Thanks

Hi Ceeoh

The Mary A in the York House of Correction
Aged 28 - Wife of James Smith Labourer - born in Selby.

I can't see any obvious candidates for James or Joseph though.

Thanks Sarah, will have to try further for this one.

I notice you have Hindson on your research list.  My husband's g-grandmother was a Mary Hindson, daughter of George and Mary Hindson - George a shoemaker.  However, they were from North Yorkshire, not Durham.  Is this of any interest to you?

Hi Ceeoh

Most of my Hindson's are Durham and I haven't much source/confirmation/documentation on this line, but I do have a link with the 'top bit' of Yorkshire (/Cleveland).

I have a James Hindson born 1836 in Sunderland.  From census and IGI extracted records his father is James Atkinson Hindson born 1810 in Marske in Cleveland.  James senior is the illegitimate child of Jane Hindson.  I did wonder whether the Atkinson middle name came from the father - but there is a Jane Hindson with father Joseph Hindson christened 1785 near Marske in Guisbrough and also a marriage between a Joseph Hindson and Elizabeth Atkinson in 1780 Guisbrough...  a bit of a leap I know...

I did wander along this possible branch for a while and I think that Joseph and Elizabeth had a son George (christened 1794 from IGI) and he may be the  George (shoemaker) in Carlton in 1841 with wife Mary & children Joseph, William, Mary and Sarah.  Is that your George???

As I say - I am pretty much adopting the Guisbrough Hindson's with little reason except a wild hunch, but if that is the George you have then there could be a link even if only in my overactive imagination!!

I'd love to hear more about your Hindson's - even if it is just to confirm I have gone a bit mad with the guesswork

Hi Sarah

Yes, this is "our" George!  Do not have much on Hindson family but happy to pass on what we have.  Is it possible to do this off rootschat?
