Hiding Ancestors!

[vicemmott86]

Hi all :) I am desperately needing assistance in searching for a Thomas Emmet (sometimes Thos Emmel, or Emmet) he was 30 on an 1841 census of Thornton, Bradford. He was married to a Hannah Robinson, 5 years his senior. But I cannot find him either before or after that date. He is he furthest Emmott I can find and really want to know what happened to him. I contemplated ringing my local Reg office, but seen as all I have is a name, ish, and rough birth, I stand little chance of knowing which one would be mine! He must have moved out of Thornton as in the 1851 census, his family live with a John Hainsworth whom Hannah married. He isnt buried in the village as I have all records for the 4 churches/graveyards. Did he run away? Did he doe young and was buried in another parish? I really am very confused!

Hi

Bear in mind that the 1841 census as a rule (not invariably) shows ages rounded down to the nearest 5 years, so Thomas might have been anywhere from 30-34 on 6 June 1841.

Can you give us the details of Thomas' marriage to Hannah Robinson, and Hannah's marriage to John Hainsworth, which will help us understand the timeline? Also any children born to each of those marriages.

The Register Office will have no records before the introduction of Civil Registration on 1st July 1837

There's a Thomas Emmett died in Bradford in Dec 1843, it may be worth chasing him

or Thomas Emmott in 1845 in Bradford

Familysearch has the marriage of Thomas and Hannah in Bradford on 1st September 1833.
FreeBmd has the marriage of Hannah Emmett and John Hainsworth in the September quarter of 1850, Halifax, Vol 22 Page 175.

The Thomas Emmott who died in 1845 Bradford, was buried in St Peters Church and was only 20 years old --- so that one is too young and can probably be 'eliminated from enquiries'!

Thanks all

All information suggested is correct. I just cannot find this man!

Yes, he can be eliminated, my Thomas would have been between 30 and 40 when he died. Hannah only married John in 1850, and then all lived with him in 1851. Im wondering if Thomas died near to that time than 1841 time. I really need to find his parents too but the marriage certificate ti Hannah has no informaion at all really.

Very frustrating! I need to find where they married to try find more details on them.

Im wondering why they married out of the village and St Peters though. Interesting indeed!

When was the last child of Thomas & Hannah born?
