Jemima Pitt

[Laura the Explorer]

HI all
why do my pitts vanish here is the sister of Marie Squires nee pitt Her name is Jemima PItt 1833 Leominster . I believe she married either George Reeve or William Evan Wakefield in Dec 1855 now I thought I would be able to find her in the census (Ha no such look) so I looked at deaths and found a Jemima Wakefield death Q3 1917 Leominster that fits my date of dirth but I still can not find her on the census any one else see her



Thanks
Laura

I suppose it depends what you mean by "really Evans Wakefield", Laura. Could be that sometimes he used the names one way round and sometimes the other?

[KiteRunner]

And it looks as though William's birth was registered as Wakefield Evans, not Evans Wakefield, if he is the one born Dec 1839 Aston.

[Laura the Explorer]

But he Married under William Evans Wakefield and Jemima is buried under that in 1917


Laura

[KiteRunner]

And William's death is registered as William Evans Wakefield too (Dec 1901 Birmingham), but all I'm saying is that doesn't make one version of the name his "real" name. I wonder whether perhaps his parents were a Mr Wakefield and a Miss Evans who didn't get married until after his birth?

HI
I have had a look at the census and if I am looking at the right one his father married an Ann Hill in 1839 after his birth but fathers birth place is listed as unknown. Now I can find a George Wakefield on the slave reg but have no idea if this is the same person anyone any ideas ( never had this before) its all new oooowwwww


Laura

[KiteRunner]

Unlikely to be the same person unless you have a particular reason for thinking he would have owned slaves, Laura?
