  • Did Mary Ann die in 1863?

    She was born and baptised in 1857 Leicester
    Parents: John (a musician) and Ann Kilby
    She's on th 1861 census with parents and siblings but not on 1871 census.
    Did she die in Q1 1863?
    I've found the burials of 4 of Mary Ann's siblings, buried in the same plot at Welford Road Cemetery, Leic. The earliest of the 4 burials is Oct 1863 for 4mth old Ada ...
    If their sister Mary Ann died in 1863 - then why isn't she buried with them

          Have you tried looking for Polly instead of Mary Ann? My great aunt Polly turned out to really be Mary Ann. (As an aside, we looked for a Martha for years before discovering she used the Scottish nick name of Patty!)

            Thanks for suggestions. I found a marriage in 1874, but not the right Mary.

            Not found her after 1861 census (yet).

              Hi Val .... I saw that one but think it unlikely that someone born in the centre of Leicester would say they were born in South Croxton. Its interesting that Edward Swift (son of Ann Swift, 29) was born in South Croxton too.

              If Mary Ann died in 1863 - then why isn't she buried with siblings?
              Now wondering if she was buried in city graveyard ???

                just a thought LL could you ring Leicester reg office and see if they can either say yes or no to the death cert if you use an address and or fathers name/occupation? [though I suppose it'll depend on who registered her]

                in a workhouse/hospital?

                sorry I can't think of much else, I know you said she wasn't with g/parents but could she be with aunts/uncles etc?

                  ... I think when you first made this suggestion I misunderstood! I assumed you meant buried with her grandparents. Now thinking that you probably meant living with/visiting them.

                  Will have another look for possibility of her being with / visiting relatives.

                  Thanks

                    Is this the one you are referring to?

                    I didn't read the opening post properly. I would not have thought that she would have automatically been buried with her siblings unless there was a family plot purchased.

                    Have been searching. Didn't see her with paternal and maternal grandparents after 1861 and looked at a couple of the aunts and uncles.

                      sorry LL I should have been more specific, but yes I meant living with and not buried with. :smilee:

                        Hi Vera ... yes, that's the Mary Ann death I was referring to.

                        A family plot was purchased Oct 1863 where 4 of her siblings are buried. The death found was Q1 1863, but I can't find a matching burial in the same cemetery.

                        Thanks for trying to find her, maybe she was buried in her local church graveyard.

                          LL the death I posted was Q3 and I believe (not sure) according to Free BDM, she died in September 1863 so it may be that the plot was not purchased in time for her burial.

                          Welford was the only burial ground in Leicester at that time and had been open quite a while. Is she possibly a mistranscribe. Kilbey/ Kirby?

                              Hi Val ... because I couldn't find her anywhere ... and I was right

                              Is she possibly a mistranscribe. Kilbey/ Kirby?
                              she was mistranscribed in burial index as Kelly.
                              Don't know why I didn't notice when I looked for the burials of her siblings ... she's in the same plot, so glad she's with them.
                              Many thanks to Vera for her suggestion

                                  learnt a valuable lesson from this .... I usually cross check burials with plot number but on this occasion as I'd found 4 of the same family in the plot I didn't follow up with number check

                                      Glad you found her LL and with siblings too. Some small comfort for the parents that the children lie together I suppose. How they coped then I can't imagine.
