Martha Sweeting

  Hi

 I think there may be two hubbies here as the Stabley may be mistranscribed. I cannot track them pre 1881 so playing around with names to see what comes up.

  Hi

 well they are back as Sweeting in 1871 ..found them!

 William Sweeting hd m 50 cartman Weighton Market Yorks
 Martha                 wi 37                 Monk Wearmouth Durham
 John                    son u 15         Coxhoe
 Elizabeth              dau u 12         Haswell
 William                 son u 9          Haswell
 James                   son u 3      Coxhoe
 MARTHA                DAU U 1   

 Framwellgate Durham   RG10/4963 F 94 P33

 So not 2 hubbies the surname in 1881 isn't long enough to be Sweeting but someone got it wrong!

  Hi

 Martha's birth ... Durham 1861 jan/feb/march vol10a page 260
 Framwellgate comes under this and thats where they are in 1871.

Thank you

1871 Martha's p.o.b. looks(to me) like it is dittoed under James' as "Durham City" - but it would still come within Durham reg dist.

This may be of interest
1861
Salter lane
Haswell
Durham
William Sweeting head 30 Coal Miner England?
Martha wife 27 Monkwearmouth Durham
Harriett daughter 8 Thorn;ley Durham
John son 6 Coxhoe Durham
Ann daughter 3 Spennymoor Durham
RG9 3746 76 12

in 1871 there is no daughter Ann -but there is a daughter Elizabeth age 12

There is this birth reg
Elizabeth Ann Sweeting
Dec qtr 1857
Aukland
10a 140

so its possible Elizabeth Ann for a while went by her middle name - so possibly her father was named William John or John William and used one or the other - have no evidence of this, though

Very possibly this is William /John in 1841
Lodging House
Market Weighton
Yorks
William Sweeting 30 ag lab
Harriet 30
WILLIAM 12
Mary 9
Elizabeth 7
George 5
Arthur 1
all b in county
plus 13 lodgers
HO107 1220 9 6 4

it looks like William & Harriet are running the Lodging House - so maybe William/John & Martha carried on the family tradition???

Thanks for this - certainly the nearest I have found to a possible match. Like you I decided William must be a William John or vice versa as the 1871 census lists a William and Martha living framwellgate, Durham and I am sure Martha Sweeting junior is on here - her 15 year old brothers info and birthplace match up with the 1891 record for Martha sweeting senior. John was born coxhoe about 1855 - it all matches.
Again John is on the record below...
Great stuff thank you!

The William and Harriet Sweeting, presumed parents of William/John from 1841 census in Market Weighton, are living two doors away from William and Martha in 1871 census, Framwellgate, Durham, on same census page.

William Sweeting, head, 71, b. Cartman, b.Yorkshire,
Harriet     " , wife, 72, b. Yorkshire,
Jane A.    " , Grand dau, 7, b. Durham City.

Some family trees have William Jun. baptized 25 Oct 1829 North Cave Yorks, son of William Sweeting and Harriet Staveley. The Staveley maybe ties in with William/John giving his surname as Stabley in 1881.  William Sweeting married Harriett Staveley 11 June 1829, North Cave Yorks. A few months before William Jnr was baptized.
