( K ) Catherine Tenby Mudd

[Rycroft]

Hi just trying to sort out Catherine Tenby Mudd.  She married John Hunter JAS 1899 South Shields.
Then in 1901 she is living with John and their son Edward.
I have this lunchtime received the marriage cert of Catherine Tenby Mudd to John Scott Richardson married 3 Nov 1912 Holy Trinity Church, Tynemouth. John Says he is 38 Catherine 37  Bachelor and Spinster !!  In the 1911 census they say married 4 years ? no children
Catherines father is down as Thomas Mudd but John Scott Richardson says his father is William when in fact it was George, I believe William to be his Grandfather. Any ideas on how to sort this out.
I don't think there could be 2 Catherine Tenby Mudds b in 1875, but I may be wrong!!!

any help appreciated

Best Wishes and a Happy New Year
Rycroft

I see no problem with Catherine. 1891 she is with Parents Thomas/Catherine in Tynemouth. She is born c 1875 Tenby, Wales.

1881 they are in Kent in the Military Barracks;
R Arty Head    Thomas Mudd    M    41    Masham, Yorkshire, England
R Arty Wife    Catherine Mudd    F    39    Canada
R Arty Daughter    Margaret Ann Mudd    F    9    Malta
R Arty Daughter    Catherine Tinby Mudd    F    6    Wales
R Arty Daughter    Rachel Mudd    F    4    Dover Castle, Kent, England
R Arty Son    William Thomas Mudd    M    0    Sheerness, Kent, England


I havent looked for John Hunter yet.

Does John Hunter and son Edward disappear post 1901? 

The reference to 4 years marriage in 1911 could be the time the couple had been living together.

Edward Hunters Birth is Reg as Edward MUDD

[trish1120]

Looks to me that Edward Mudd/Hunter is the Son of Catherines Sister Margaret born Malta.

1911 they are together and he is down as her Son born Bedale .

1901 we have;
Margaret Ann Mudd 28, born Malta
Florance Mudd    5
Percy Mudd    3
Kathleen Mudd    1

Percy/Kathleen died in 1903/1901
Margaret may have had these Children also;
Catherine Tenby MUDD 1909/Death 1909
Evelyn Mudd who appears in 1911 is Evelyn Siddal MUDD 1902

Looks to me it is the right Catherine in 1911 Census.

This seems to be John in 1881;
John Spencer, 29, Head, Mar, General Labourer, born Yorkshire
Elizabeth Spencer, 29, Wife, Mar, born Willington Quay, Northumberland
Isabella Richardson, 10, Step Daugter, born Willington Quay
JOHN Richardson, 7, Stepson, born Willington Quay
Walter (A. Scott) Spencer, Son, born Willington Quay    

Marriage Reg;
Elizabeth SPENCER, March 1876, Tynemouth, 10b 318
John SPENCER on same page

I can see the possible George Richardson/Elizabeth Scott Marriage Dec 1871
And a possible Death Reg for George Dec 1875 Tynemouth age 44

As John Richardson was only young when his Father died getting his name mixed up on M/C may have occurred.

Thank you Trish and Kay.  I have been trying to sort this for a while now.  Elizabeth Sott married  George Richardson October 28th 1871 in the Parish Church Tynemouth both full age.   George Richardson died 10th November 1875 ( Typus Fever)
Elizabeth Richardson (widow) married John Spencer March 13th 1876 John aged 25 and Elizabeth 22.
I also have  K Richardson  ( Daughter in Law ) as the informant of the death of Elizabeth Spencer 7/8th June 1932 and again informant of the death of Owen Spencer 23rd March 1929 recorded as  ( Aunt ).  I will purchase the cert fo Edward Mudd/Hunter just to confirm parenthood. What has left always left me unsure was the Marriage of Catherine Tenby Mudd to John Hunter, and then saying spinster on the marriage to John Scott Richardson. Need to pin her down dying and see what is on the certificate etc

Thanks Rycroft

There is a death of a Katherine T Richardson age 83 that might be worth looking at
Northumberland South  June Qtr 1957 Vol 1b Page 335
