On This Day in NOVEMBER .....

Thanks Bob.

And thanks for your comments Pejic.

I have few from early November which I didn't post last year.

Baptised 1st November 1829, Hannah Bushby, in Spennithorne, North Riding. A 1st cousin x 5

And 2nd November, because I won't be here tomorrow,

1912, my uncle by marriage, Wilfred Mayes Robson, was born in Middlesbrough. He married my mum's half sister, Alice Frost and they had three sons. Wilf died in 1982, just a few weeks before my own father.

And in 1946, my parents, John Shaw Howe and Alma Smith were married in Middlesbrough. They had thirty-six years of marriage, three daughters and four grandchildren before my dad died in July 1982 - two more grandchildren were born after this. If they were still alive they would be so thrilled to know that there are six great-grandchildren so far! Mum met the first of the great granddaughters just before she died in 2008 but knowing her, the greatest pleasure would have been in having two great-grandsons - she was disappointed with the arrival of each of her three daughters - always wanted a boy! We all knew that we were intended to be called Stuart Andrew.

On 1st November 1783 my 4xG grandmother Rachel Wood was born in Ceres in the Kingdom of Fife. Finding Rachel was all due to a mistake on my 2xG grandmother's (also Rachel) death certificate where she was entered as her mother, when in fact she was her grandmother. The name Rachel has stayed within my family and so far I have traced it back a further two generations to Rachel's grandmother, my 6xG grandmother.

On 1 November 
Arthur Whittaker my father in law married Ethel Wright his first wife at Wilton Street Chapel, Denton, Lancashire in 1930.  They had 3 children one in 1931, the 2nd in 1932 and a 3rd in 1933.  The 3rd was a little girl called Olwen who was born on 17 September 1933 and died on 1 November 1933 on her parents wedding anniversary.  The cause of her death was asphyxia in a convulsion due to gastric disturbance.  Ethel, her mother, died 2 years later of cardiac failure, pneumonia and influenza.  My husband (his father re-married a few years later) and his brother and stepbrothers were always told that the baby had died soon after birth and that their mother had died soon afterwards of a broken heart.  I suppose there was a little truth in this story, the baby did die only 6 weeks after birth and her mother died of cardiac failure 2 years later, aged 29.

Clement Tubbs and Abigail Adams my 6 x g.grandparents married in Sutton, Isle of Ely, Cambridgeshire in 1722.

Elizabeth Bayldon (nee Milnes ) my 8 x g.grandmother was buried at All Saints Church, Dewsbury, Yorkshire in 1685.  She was aged 84 and had been a widow for 47 years.

I checked what I (and quite a few others) did at the start of the thread and it seems we didn't quote names, just relationships, so I think there'll be quite a few to add after all.

On 1 November 1840 my great grandfather, Frederic Sewell Wilson was baptised at St George in the East, London.  He was the son of Robert Wilson and Harriet Sewell, and later married Clara Rosina Giovannelli, thus providing me with an interesting name to research!

On 2 Nov
Jonathan Middleton and Dorothy Chorley my 3 x g.grandparents married at The Chapel, Broughton in Furness, Lancashire in 1834. Dorothy had already had 3 illegitimate children with 3 different fathers   the first two both girls had died aged 1 and 5, but the son lived with his mother and stepfather.  He must have got on well with his stepfather, as although he kept his own surname, he gave 2 of his children the middle name Middleton.

George Mumby and Sarah Sibbert my 4 x g.grandparents married in the parish church of Ulceby cum Fordington, Lincolnshire in 1776

Margaret Postlethwaite (nee Smith) my 6 x g.grandmother was baptised at St Mary’s Parish Church, Dalton in Furness, Lancashire in 1701.

Elisabeth Middleton (nee Benson) my 4 x g.grandmother was baptised in Wigton, Cumberland in 1781
