  • Where next? any ideas?

    I have just trawled the complete death index for 10 yrs for Mary Ann Robinson. If she had died I would have expected the dist to be Melton Mowbray, there is nothing, I cannot check the Dec Q for R, S, T, U, in 1851 as they are missing completely from ancestry.

    I havent found her (mary ann) on the 1861 census, Though presume that her daughter Fanny Robinson is in Melton Workhouse (thanks Elaine) aged 14. (just with FR as initals)

    I will have a look at possible marriages this evening, but I have a feeling that I have already looked without much success.

    can anyone suggest anything that I could try?

    I have been to LRO and they dont have any records for workhouse deaths in those particular years that are covered, infact they have very little info regarding BMD's at the workhouse, with exception to the register that goes upto 1847 (where I very nicely found details of my Gt Grannies baptism) (as she was born in the workhouse).

    anyone have any ideas?

    thanks for reading

    I'm sure you already know this, but I'll remind you anyway, lol!

    Deaths are registered where they happen, not where the deceased lived, so if she was on a day trip to Bangor or where ever, that'll be where she was registered.

        When was she born? There are a couple of Mary Ann Robinsons on the NBI.

        .. and when was the last sighting of her?

            She was born 1819 @ Melton Mowbray Elaine... and last sighting was the 1851 cens.

            from memory I think there was a MAR burial at Knossington, (which is classed as Rutland?) but I checked that out at LRO and she appears with a family there. :( (oh that was from FHO btw) not sure if it was showing on the NBI

                Thanks Womblepatra,

                whenever I see your name it reminds me of Aus.. I have no idea why... lol




                Thanks Elaine,...

                I didnt think that there was.

                So my options are;

                died.
                married.
                got took by aliens in a very nice spaceship......

                  I'd go with the last option Julie, far more interesting than the other two.

                    lol...mmmm

                    I know!! just that now I have Mary Anns sisters tracked and married off and families etc.. I wanted to do the same with Mary Ann. I have her 3 daughters born/married/died and with their spouses and respective families as well, but is just Mary Ann that is the mystery... (dont like untidy bits....lol)..

                      Some other options are - died somewhere else, death registration not made it onto the GRO indexes, death registered under the wrong name.

                          Whare was she on the 1851 census? As Mary Robinson isnt exactly an exotic name she may have died elsewhere, maybe at a relatives. Do you have other evidence to show that she died in Dec Qtr 1851?

                          Her death must be out there somewhere.

                          Ben
                          hi Ben,

                          she is here:

                          - Ancestry.co.uk

                          I cannot find her in 1861 she isnt with ANY of her children after 1851 cens, doesnt appear as witness to any of their marriages, she doesnt even go and live with her mother (as she is living with another daughter in Melton.)

                            Have you considered she may have remarried? If you can't find her with any of those potential Melton Mobray husbands, she may have remarried and died.

                            I have one relative who managed two marriages and then died, all in the gap between two censuses, but she wasn't called Mary Ann! lol

                              Merry, Julie already said in post #1 that she thinks she has already checked for a marriage but is going to check again. Of course, Mary Ann could have moved away and then married, specially to confuse her descendants!

                                      If she was in the Melton Mowbray Workhouse in 1851, she may have been transferred to another one later on. When did she marry her first husband?

                                      Try looking for any Mary Ann's b1819 in Melton Mowbray who are married and try and cross reference them against the mans surname in case one of them married a Mary Ann Robinson. That is a trick I do when I cannot find an ancestor after a certain census post 1891.

                                      This may help.

                                      I dont know that she DID marry at all, ever! I havent found anything yet!

                                      there is

                                      1852 sept q either Edward Austin or John Cooke, ---- niether match really, I cant even find an edward, a george, yes. edward no no hope!

                                      1853 mar q Either Edward Hinman or John Mitchell --- again neither look likely...
