William Dickens

[Ruskie]

I have no idea how I missed this earlier, but he is found at last:

1841
Lower End
Kingsthorpe
HO107/810/8/8
William Dickins 20 shoemaker Y
Mary 20 Y
William 1 Y

 

[Ruskie]

It looks like Kingsthorpe and Boughton are only a couple of miles apart, and would have been villages back then. Kingsthorpe has been swallowed up by Northampton urban sprawl and Boughton is right on the edge of it ...

Possible Marriage which confirms maybe George as the Father of William;

Hi.

Cheryl this query is right on my doorstep. 

And of course lots of us Northants Folk have Alan Clarke's
cd rom for Northants.

Also the Northants Family History Society who are on my
"Useful Northants Links" below this post have brilliant resources.

Boughton has two churchyards as there is the old Boughton
Church which stood at the end of the village and the one in the
village now.

Anyway I will read through again and see if anything hasn't been
found for you.

The 2 streets names listed by Ruskie on reply 2 and 4 are
St George's Street and Melbourne Street.

William certainly moved about.

I will see if I can see a burial for 1st Thomas.

Okay found it.
Billing Road Cemetery.

Thomas Dickins, aged 1 yr, St George's Street, parents William and Mary
Dickens of St George's Street died July 8th, buried July 15th 1851 in
grave 3157.

This grave seemed to have other children as well buried in it.

The only GEORGE Dickens I can find on Census that would be old enough to be Williams Father is by 1841 with a Wife Elizabeth who is much younger.

Maybe you can find a Death for a Hannah Dickens Sandy?
