Maryport

[mientajb]

Hi there. This is not obvious. I can see the marriage and her death but nothing for a birth in Maryport other than the fact that the 1871 census has her being born in Maryport in 1845.There are a number of Isabella's born in Maryport at that time but no Gemmel. Could her mother have remarried when Isabella was a very young child?

Sorry that I can not be of any more help but the fact that no one else has replied would suggest that others are having difficulty with this one as well.

On the off chance as this is such an old thread, any mention of Glover family 1850s era, shipwrights, lived on King Street

[mientajb]

In 1851 there is a Glover family living on Strand Street. James who is 55, Mary who is 53 and their 17 year old son, Wilton. The father works for K Wood & Sons, shipbuilders. The son is shown as a  shipwright.

James and Mary are still there in 1861. James is shown as a shipwright. He is down as being born in Dearham, she at Camerton.

Strand Street runs parallel to King Street closer to the sea.

Are these your people

Thanks for your reply mientajb,

Yes the census is the basis for my belief  that Isabella was born in Maryport. On her marriage cert in 1870 it states her father is deceased.Have no info on mother .Bit of a brickwall moment.

Hi and thank you mientajb, yes they are mine. I have the family tracked in censuses pretty much and some vital records. I was wondering if they may have been mentioned in the books discussed at the beginning of this thread.

Hello Mientajb. Just to help you eliminate one Isabella. I have an Isabell Paul who was from Liverpool but born Maryport as her mother Jane went to stay with her mother Margaret Baylis for the birth. Humphpaul
