Fred Taylorcompleted

Hi,

Finding her death looks just as much of a problem  

What church did they married in?  I am just wondering what religion they were and if she is possibly buried in the same church.

By the way, have you noticed that in the 1901 census there is a John Taylor born Summerseat living in Tottington aged 41.  I am wondering if this was Fred`s father who had remarried.

Regards,
Mo

Hi

I believe he may have remarried because the descendant of Fred has a letter sent to Fred from his father after Fred had emigrated.  In it he thanks him for money sent by Fred and mentions his mother and the children.  I have just been trawling through the Levis on Ancestry and have come up with an Ann Levi born in December qtr of 1856 in Ulverston which is not a million miles from Windermere.  This was on Free BMD.  I wonder if that is her.  Sadly no more info and can't find any mention on 1861 census.  Also no luck with death which  I thought I would easily find on UK BMD.

Sorry forgot to answer your previous question. They were married in Bury Registry Office, so no church.  However that doesnt mean that she may not have been buried in accordance with her faith, which of course may be Jewish.  Particularly if she had her own family still around.  Regarding the birth entry on Free Bmd, the actual image is just the page of the register on which the date is noted, no details apart from Ann and Parents name Levi.  If I applied to Ulverston are they likely to have anything that gives more details,
 or will they just copy out what is in the register and send it to me?

Hi,

The birth certificate will give her date of birth, mothers name, maiden name if she was married and fathers name (if there is one named) along with an address.

This Annie is the only Levi that appears on Births, Deaths and marriages registered in Ulverston on Freebmd regardless of year or first name.  Very strange!  However there was a Robert Levy in 1859.  I would also consider looking for Levey etc.

Hi,

I think I may have cracked it with the help of the birth of Robert Levy registered Ulverston.

1861 census:
RG9/3112 folio 29 page 30

106 Redlam, Witton, Blackburn. Lancs
Elizabeth Levi, Head, U, 28, Cotton Drawer, Whitehaven Cumberland
ROBERT Levi, Son, 1, Lancashire Buckbarrow  (Probably Backbarrow near Newby Bridge which is at the bottom of Windermere!!!)

Bear with me...............

In 1862 an Elizabeth Levi marries a John Marsden at Blackburn (www.lancashirebmd.org.uk)

1871 census
RG10/4191 folio 44 page 28

8 Witton Street, Witton (Blackburn) Lancashire
John Marsden, Head, M, 45, Greengrocer, Livesey Lancs
ELIZABETH, Wife, M, 36, WHITEHAVEN Cumberland
David Marsden, Son, 8, Scholar, Witton
John A Marsden, Son, 7, Scholar, Witton
ANNIE Marsden, Daur, 14, Cotton Weaver, ULVERSTON
Mary E Marsden, Daur, 3, Witton Lancs

Suddenly we have a mysterious 14 year old Annie!!!

And just to finish, I wonder if this is young Annie in the 1861 census:

Backbarrow, Upper Holker, Lancashire
RG9/3165 folio 80 page 9

William Casson, Head, M, 65, Labourer, Bootle Cumberland
Mary, Wife, M, 60, Ulverston
Matthew, Son, U, 24, Hoop Maker, Backbarrow
Thomas, Son, U, 22, Labourer, Backbarrow
Jackson, Son, U, 16, Factory Operative, Backbarrow
ANN LEVI CASSON, Granddaur, U, 4, Scholar, Backbarrow

Pure speculation of course but it does make sense (sort of).  We just need to tie the Cassons in with Elizabeth Levi.  Hey ho!  Backbarrow came under the registration district of Ulverston by the way.

Mo

Wow this is getting very complicated, however I am sure you are on the right track regarding the Marsdens, as this is a family name mentioned by my friend in the States.  Am not sure where the Cassons fit in but I will have to get my head around all this.  I am going to take copies of everything and send it all over to America and hopefully it will alltie up then.

I will try and get copies of birth certificates etc as well.

PS. Wonder what happened to young Robert, maybe he died in infancy.

Jenny

Yes he died in 1862 on Free BMD.  I have found a marriage for Elizabeth Casson in 1856 in Ulverston on Free BMD but the names on the same page did not include a Levi (y).  Niether did putting in Lev(y) bring anything up . Its all fits and starts isnt it, however if I canget Annie's birth certificate perhaps that will clear things up.
