patchett family lancashire

[rs2016]

Hi, I would be grateful if anyone can help me figure a few things out, it's a little complicated so i'll do my best to explain.

In the 1911 census living in st leonards gate, Lancaster is Delilah Patchett and her two daughters, annie and may. Annie's birth year is stated as 1905/6 but I cannot find any birth registered anywhere around that time for her.

I know that Annie Patchett married William gamble in 1923, they are living in Lancaster in the 1939 register which states she was born in 1905, her sister may Patchett is unmarried and living with them, her birth year is 1909 yet the only birth I can find for a may patchet is 1907, the mothers maiden name is Bates, I have found a Delilah bates born 1870 in Oldham which fits with what is written in the 1911 census.

I am still unable to find a record for delilah's marriage to someone with the surname Patchett, I don't know where her husband is in the 1911 census as it still says she's married not widowed and there is no trace of the 3 children they lost according to the 1911 census, there is also no trace of Delilah Patchett in the 1901 census.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

May Patchett's age on the 1911 is 3 so born c 1908 not 1909 which makes it more likely that the birth registered Dec 1/4 1907 Lancaster is your May Pratchett. Like you I can't see a birth reg for a Ann* Pra*chet*/Bate(s) In fact the only birth reg showing in Lancaster 1892 - 1911 is May's.

May's birth certificate could be worth getting as it may name her father

Electoral registers in the 1920's have Delilah her living with a Joseph Patchett

[cath151]

School admissions 15.04.1912 Skerton County Primary School have
Annie Patchett 2.7.05
May    Patchett  8.12.07   Father of both is Joseph of 98 Main street which ties in with the Joseph Rosie99 found.

Was just going to post that death for Joseph 

Joseph & Delilah were buried in Skerton
Delilah on 1 Nov 1923 abode 98 Main St, Skerton
Joseph on 21 Jul 1924 abode 2 Quernmore Road, Lancaster

They are in the same grave A591

That is pretty conclusive.  Yay you!

So now we have the name Joseph and an approximate age at death.  Now it's a matter of seeing which of the births (if he was even born in Lancashire!) we can eliminate.
