Ann Cattle born Arnold Notts 1802

[avidt]

Hi All
Ann Cattle was born according to Census records in Arnold Notts in 1801, but I cannot find her in any records in the Notts area She married Isaac smith in London in 1822 and in the 1851 Census she is living with the family in Clerkenwell. Rumour has it that her parents were William and Elizabeth  possibly from York but until I find her baptism I am stuck. Can anyone help please  Many thanks David

Is the middle name of the first child significant?  Ann Barker Smith

Is Ann Cattle only on the 1841/1851 census?

I note on family search that the 1851 census states ann/e was born Arnold, Northamptonshire,
although this may not be correct, maybe below might be worth a look?

Thanks ColC but Ann was definitely born in Arnold Notts and her parents were William and Elizabeth
as the will of her brother Henry attests same as Enoch and one of her children was Thomas Enoch Smith,  Kind Regards  David

Of course barker may come from Isaac Smith's family. He had the middle name George which might make it easier to trace him

Can I ask what evidence do you have apart from the census entry that Ann was born in Nottinghamshire?

We all know that for many reasons census entries are sometimes wrong. What can happen if the entry names a place many miles away the enumerator won't know if what they have written is correct.

One thought crossed my mind is that Braunston and Bugbooke are both villages on the Grand Union Canal could the family have been travelling south?  Arnold Notts doesn't have a canal.

Have you looked further into her brother Henry? When did he die / will proved?

Did brother Henry's will actually state that his parents were William and Elizabeth? In your first post you said it was RUMOUR that the parents were W and E. Who is Enoch? and how is he related to Henry? There is a record for a Henry Cattle (of Clerkenwell) on the death duty register for 1883, DD was paid by Enoch Cattle.
