Harriet HANSON b.1900 Census background- COMPLETED

[Dalum]

I think William died in 1894:

burial at Church of the Ascension, Oughtibridge
HANSON   William   
date of burial: 10 Jul 1894
address/parish: Oughtibridge
age: 46y      

... and Elizabeth remarried two years later:

GRO Marriages MAR Qtr 1896
HOLDSWORTH Frank  
HANDSON  Elizabeth Bayliss
Wortley 9c 310

This burial from the same church may be a child of this marriage:
HOLDSWORTH Frank
21 Aug 1897
Oughtibridge
9m

Could the 1901 birthplace of Elizabeth be Church Lench? This is just north of Evesham which is where the following birth was registered:

GRO Births DEC Qtr 1862
CROSSSWELL* Elizabeth Baylis
Evesham 6c 322

*Yes, this is the way it is typed in the GRO index 

I can't find the marriage of this person to William HANSON though. William is married to a Sarah in 1881 and I think this may be that marriage:

GRO Marriages SEP Qtr 1880
HANSON William
GREEN Sarah Ann
Wortley 9c 261

..and this could be the burial of Sarah (nee GREEN):

Burial at Bradfield, St Nicholas
HANSON Sarah Ann 12 May 1885 Oughtibridge 27y

Church Lench is a strange place. According to a gazeteer transcribed at GenUKI it had or has two different hamlets called Atch Lench and Lench Atch

Having  computer troubles so hope this email reaches its destination
Barbara - you have now found Gordon - I checked free bmd's but couldn't find him on there.   Gordon was the one sibling of Harriet that the family knew about, the rest are a bonus.
and .....the deaths and remarriages - Barbara and Hugh, you are really good at sorting this lot out.
I'm extremely pleased with what you've found for me - thankyou so much,  Sashar

This looks like Gordon's birth (he's a Holdsworth, having been born after Elizabeth's remarriage):

Gordon HOLDSWORTH Mar 1898 Wortley 9c 363

Hi Ann,
Boy is all this information sorting out some family arguments.
My sister married into the MILLER family but not much was known about the Hanson side.  My sister asked her father-in-law some questions (he was gravely ill at the time) and he said his mother's name was Harriet Holdsworth.  After the father-in-law's death, his wife, has always claimed that wasn't her surname.   She thought it started with H but wasnt Holdworth.    She remembered the Hanson name.
Now it's all been revealed that both are correct.   Whether the family know of the 2 marriages I haven't yet found out.
Thanks so much for finding Gordon's details for me.   This is all starting to come together now with the help of some great people on this site.
Very much appreciated -  Sashar

Hello all,
I'm still plodding along with this family line and wondering if anything else can be found on the background of Elizabeth Bayliss CROSSWELL born Dec Qtr 1862 at Evesham  6c 322  (Hugh previously found this)
Hugh has also checked for her marriage to William HANSON without luck.  There doesn't appear to be anything on Free bmd's either so perhaps they never married.

Is she on the 1871 or 1881 Census?  She may or may not have been married by the 1881 Census as a child Gertrude HANSON was born Mar Q 1882

Many thanks,  Sashar

Looks like a remarriage for Elizabeth:

Hi,

I've been searching for my granddads family for years and this post seems the closet yet. The details I'm looking for are for my family roots in the Oughtibridge area near Sheffield. My grandfather was Gordon Holdsworth and was probably born there around 1900 and your post would have it as 1898 if the same Gordon Holdsworth and moved to the Hull area. His father, my great grandfather was a file maker from Oughtibridge in Sheffield the same as the Gordon's in your post.
My granddad had a half sister called Hetty and Mary and maybe a brother called Peter who emigrated to Australia. I believe his father, the file maker, married a woman who already had been married and had children which I believe I read in one of the posts. Any help greatly appreciated.

Just spoken to my sister and she says this is definately her husbands family.
I've tried answering your PM but somethings not working right.    I received 2 PM's today and even though I try and answer yours, which was the 2nd one,  it reverts back to the 1st PM.
Can you PM me again with your personal email address and I will try and contact you that way.
Regards,
Sashar

I've never got by Gordon Holdsworth birth records before and always thought his father would be called Gordon so quite surprised to see a Frank in the family. My granddad, father and brother are all Gordon so probably due to Gordon of Khartoum who died 13 years earlier.
