John Hudson - COMPLETED

[Gravity]

Hi

Wondered if anyone could help me with trying to find out more information about my Gt Grandfather, John Hudson, who was born in  Bassenthwaite, Cumberland sometime between 1860 - 1870.

I know that he married Mary Graves - born Dalton-In-Furness in 1860 - in Ulverston in the 4th quarter of 1885. They had 6 children - William (1887); Robert (1888); Florence (1891); Mabel (1896); Hilda (1898) and Ida (1900).

Unfortunately I can't seem to find anything about his parents or whether he had any siblings!

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I seem to be going round in circles!! 

Thanks

Where did you find his p.o.b.?

and why do you think he was born 1860-1870??

This is his possible death reg  FreeBMD
John Hudson
age 39
Jun qtr 1900
Barrow in Furness
8e 617

1891 census  puts his y.o.b. c.1861

1891 census his p.o.b. is given as Branthwaite Cumberland

Or am I looking at the wrong family???

I think you have the right family Suz as the children match those given above

Gravity - do you have a copy of his marriage cert showing his fathers name and occ

[Gravity]

Thanks for the replies.

Found his place of birth and a rough estimate of his dob on Genes Reunited whilst looking through records for my Grandmother, who was his daughter Hilda.

The death record is in the right area so will follow up on that.

Not got his marriage certificate but think I may have to order it as my next step in finding his parents, or father at least!

Marriage certificate is a good idea

Do you have any census details for him - I can post some if you wish.

I would also take care with information on Genes - some is really well researched - some is not so good -some is pure fiction. I had quite a bad experience -
Someone on that site copied my tree but altered all of the p.o.b.'s to various places in Scotland -so they would "fit" in with her ancestors. On the line which was copied I have no one b Scotland!! And others have copied the "fictitious" tree!!!

I will have a quick look and see if his marriage cert./banns is among the church records of Bassenthwaite, held in Carlisle Archive centre. It's cheaper and faster that going the civil route.
Edit: not having read first post properly, of course, his marriage was at Ulverston.

Have checked Bassenthwaite St Bega and Bassenthwaite St John 1840-1890 on birth, deaths, marriages and banns and can find no mention of of the Hudson surname anywhere.
However there are the parishes of Crosthwaite, Thornthwaite, Wythop and Isel all bordering Bassenthwaite Lake.

Hi

Unfortunatley - there is no 1871 census entry fitting the profile shown on the 1891 entry.  There are a couple of John Hudson entries in his age range but without knowing his fathers name - it's difficult to pinpoint the right entry

I searched the 1871 using just John b Bran** Cumberland 1859-1862 but only one entry - John Bibby - nephew aged 9

Can't find a census where his birth is given as Bassenthwaite ? 1891 census gives his p.o.b. as Branthwaite???
