Elizabeth Horsepool

[dbee7]

Hello,

I have a marriage between William Winn and Elizabeth Horsepool which took place in Bingham, Nottinghamshire in 1838. The certificate shows Elizabeth's father as John Horsepool. I believe Elizabeth may have had several brothers and sisters but at present have not been able to prove this, any help would be much appreciated.

Regards David.

Between 1820 & 1850 there were a number of births, in various parts of the county, listed on family search, father John.

When were was Elizabeth born from Census entries?

There is a John Horsepool, Occp Farmer, living in Bingham in 1841 Census.

Hi,

Thanks for your replies, my problem seems to be that around the time that I'm looking at there are two or three John Winn's producing children in roughly the same area, the one I think may be right is John married to Mary but I've not been able to prove it.

In the 1881 census William Winn is living in Brighton, Sussex shown as widower age 63 b1818 Bottesford Leicestershire it appears that Elizabeth died between 71/81.

The 1871 census shows in Brighton, William age 54 b1817 Leicestershire. Elizabeth age 61 b1810 Suffolk.

The 1861 census shows in Brighton, William age 44 b1817 Leicestershire. Elizabeth age 51 b1810 Hampshire.

The 1851 census shows in Brighton, William age 34 b1817 Bottesford Leicestershire. Elizabeth age 38 b1813 Woodbridge Suffolk.

To this point all proven, apart from the mistaken reference to Hampshire. Because several of their children were born in Heckington, I'm assuming the following.

The 1841 census shows in Heckington Lincolnshire, William age 25 b1816. Elizabeth age 25 b1816 with daughter Emma age 1 b1840 d1844.

Elizabeth seems to have taken the unusual step of adding a few years to her age as she has gone through life.

Hi David,
I am a little confused with your last post, I thought you were seeking siblings of Elizabeth Horsepool in Nottingham?

Strangely though on family search there is a birth/baptism record for
Elizabeth Caroline Young Horspool/Horsepole in both CHRISTCHURCH, HAMPSHIRE & SAINT MARY,WOODBRIDGE,SUFFOLK there is some conflict of information but they seem to be the same person born 1810 baptised 1815, parents John & Martha Young. You would need to check but it looks like Elizabeth had a sister & brother.

I would not worry too much about the census age differences. The death record might be more accurate but I cannot see one in Sussex between 1871 & 1881?

Hello Colin,

Sorry, I'm afraid the confusion was my fault, I should have mentioned that although the census shows Elizabeth's birthplace as Suffolk or  Hampshire, family conversation in the past has been convinced that her family was from near Nottingham and because of the marriage location I thought it was worth a try. I shall follow up the Hampshire/Suffolk line you mention and also the John in Bingham mentioned by Trish.

Many thanks for your help, David.
