locating deaths

[kylejustin]

can someone please find the deaths for richard and mary morton?

richard died in between 1851 and 61. the last address known for him was 4 blunden row, newington, on census night.

mary died in between 1861 and 71. the last known address was 5 st andrew's place, newington.

the family was from marylebone, but i dont know what district newington is in.

[Elaine ..Spain]

Newington, Surrey - registration district
1837 - 1869 Newington
1870 - 1889 St Saviour Southwark


possible:
Deaths Jun 1853
Morton Richard Newington 1d 164

Cannot see anything for Mary in either of those two registration districts.

[Elaine ..Spain]

Are you sure that Mary died between 1861 and 1871?

I see from the 1861 census that she was born c 1807.
There is a death on freeBMD in the right registration district that would fit her age

Deaths Sep 1881
Morton Mary age 74
St. Saviour 1d 103

[Elaine ..Spain]

Could this be Mary in 1881?

I wonder if this is Mary in 1871, listed as Martin.

wow, go elaine. let me check them out. i need to find her daughter sarah too, i thought they might be together if she lived past 1861.

[Elaine ..Spain]

Sarah is listed on both the 1871 and 1881 with mother Mary.

[kylejustin]

you are a legend elaine. these mortons have never been easy to research.
i have trouble with richard and mary's son, john in the 1901. i cant find him or his wife.

but i know they were alive until 1921, when the death registrations are for yorkshire.

john was born in 1842, st anne soho. he married marian vye gadd in 1865, marylebone. she was born 1840, chichester. i have them in all census except 1901. would you take a look and see if i missed them?

[Elaine ..Spain]

Can you give me the 1891 census details please.

[Merry Monty Montgomery]

Elaine, in 1891 they were in Camberwell, but one of their older sons had moved to Hunslet by 1901 (Thomas born Balham). I can't find Marian etc but have to go out now (only looked for 5 mins!). Sorry, don't have refs as closed Ancestry before seeing your post.

[Merry Monty Montgomery]

Shouldn't be here. Found with wrong surname and wrong first name for John. Right daughter.:

Thanks Merry -found them

Struggling with 1901 at the moment!

[kylejustin]

it looks right. i mean how many marian's were born in 1840, chichester, that had a daughter edith and a husband who was a commision agent?

a london accent could be misunderstood by a yorkshire enumerator right?
anyone else with this census would think its they're family?

soz, dont mean to doubt the superpowers of merry, but i've only ever had another bad mistrancription. marya chrosfield.

[kylejustin]

sorry elaine, i should of posted the details for you

[kylejustin]

merry, how did you find that?
:D

[Elaine ..Spain]

lol - didn´t see your post no 11 Merry.
Have been sitting here for the last 10 minutes trying to find them! :D

Well done.

[Merry Monty Montgomery]

merry, how did you find that?
:D

Oops, I'm back for five mins!

Well, I did a lot of wrong searches first!

Eventually I just searched born Chichester around 1840 and living in Hunslet. Would have tried living in Leeds next if I hadn't found them! I'd already tried John, occ Commission agent on the TNA index, but that didn't work because he was listed as james!!

Going out again!
