Sophia Finch born abt 1866 Hedon Yorkshire

[ednalou]

I dont know whether this is the correct Yorkshire site, I do appologise if it is the wrong one.  I wonder if anyone could help me please.

Sophia Finch married George Henry Cawkwell 1887 Partington, Yorkshire.

I have her on the 1871 census mother is Mary Bettle, Norfolk.

I believe Mary married a John Finch 1836 Bacton, Suffolk.

On the 1851 census Bacton John  (orphaned) is living with his brother Charles.
On the 1841 census Bacton there is Charles (14) George (14) William (10) then John (5).  I thought their mother was Sarah Finch but no mention of father.

The problem I have when I go on World connect Rootsweb, there are 2 John Finch, one mother is Sarah and the other one is Charles and Elizabeth.  Both 1836 Bacton. when I have looked at this Charles, they had the same name sons and same dates has the ones I have, plus a Mary as a daughter,  So could someone try and help me putting my John with the right parents.

I hope you can understand this, as I am not very good at explaining things.

Thank you very much

Regards

Yes, right place, just working through your information.  You say you believe Mary ?  born Bettle married a John Finch.  Do you know Mary's maiden name? Do you have Sophia's birth or marriage cert with her father's name on it to be sure you've got the right one to start with?

Hi Barbara

Hello Gillian

  Re 1871 census Mary Finch mother of Sophia is aged 34
   also states she is the wife of a couchman.(husband not at
   home-occupation?)

Could this be them in 1861 at Hedon Yorks.
John Finch  25  groom      Suffolk Backthen?
Mary           23                  Norfolk Beetley
Susannah   3                     Yorks  Hedon
Edward W  1                      .....     .......

I would start looking for a marriage   1856 -57-58 ish.

Hi Jackie

Yes I got that on the 1871 census.  I believe Mary's maiden name was Kelver, married 1857 Sculcoates.  Well thats what I think, unless I am barking up the wrong tree.

This tree is for my cousin and I think he is a bit lost.  The only information I got from my cousin the name of his grandmother and grandfather, and I got a lot of the information of World Connect Roots chat.

Thank you for looking

Yes I've found the census you mention back to 1851 and can only see one John b. Bacton which is the orphan with brother Charles. Thery're all still parentless on the 1841 census. The thing you seem to be worried about is the two families on Rootsweb with son John, so if you give me a few mins I'll check out the other family back to 1841

Bacton, Suffolk
FINCH

George  14    "

John       5      "

HO107/1023/2 fol.20 p.7
