Worrall, Marritt, Johnson, Coy - Yorkshire

[GrandmaSilver]

Any Worrall information would be very welcome as I have so little of it. If you come across anything on Henry Worrall born c 1840 Patrington it would be very welcome as he seems to disappear before 1871. His wife Nancy ( nee Marritt born c 1833 Out Newton, E. Yorks) never remarried but went to live with Johnson Coy / Coy Johnson( b c1824) as his house keepr. They must have had quite a close relationship as her children by Henry Worrall took on the surname Johnson Worrall. I have no idea what happened to Henry - no death cert etc and I would love to solve the mystery!

Hi Grandma and welcome to FTF.

You'll be surprised by what the folk here can achieve. The tried and tested way to find people reliably is to work backwards from what you are certain of. So for starters - where have you found Johnson Worrall (censuses etc.) and are you sure he's the correct link to your later rellies?

1861 Henry & Nancy are with her parents

1871 Nancy is keeping house for Johnson Coy - next door to her widowed mother. Her marital status is given as married, rather than widowed, She and the children have retained the name Worrell. Perhaps Henry was not at home for the night of census. He was a groom in 1861 - could have been away with his employer, or attending a foaling??

Nancy still with Johnson in 1881 - she is still Mrs Worrall and no additional children in the last 10 years.

Worrall/Worrill, Marritt, Johnson, Coy - Yorkshire

Hi,
Henry Worrall and his wife Nancy appear on the 1861 census at her parents house.
Database: 1861 England Census
Hannah Marritt abt 1805 Aldbrough, Yorkshire, England Wife Out Newton Yorkshire
William Marritt abt 1795 Skeffling, Yorkshire, England Head Out Newton Yorkshire
Henry Worrall abt 1840 Patrington, Yorkshire, England Son-in-law Out Newton Yorkshire
Nancy Worrall abt 1833 Out Newton, Yorkshire, England Daughter Out Newton Yorkshire

Cannot find them on 1871 census

On the next census Henry does not appear anywhere only Nancy and the children.
1881 Patrington
Johnston Coy Head Unmarried 57 Farm labourer Easington
Nancy Worrill Housekeeper Married 49 Outnewton
Sarah Worrill Daughter 13 Sch Outnewton
Harriet Worrill Daughter11 Sch Outnewton
Fanny Worrill Daughter 11 Sch Outnewton

The next time I can find any mention is on the 1901 census when Fanny and her sister are listed separatley in service.

My great grand mothers name was Sarah Johnston Worrall - daughter of Henry Worrall and Nacy Marritt. Sarah named her son William Johnson Tiplady.

So is Nancy's surname Johnston 1891? Is she married/widowed? And I wonder who Freds parents are?

[GrandmaSilver]

Fanny ( nee Worrall) had a son called Fred b c1890 but his suname was Bosman.

[GrandmaSilver]

Just looked again and Fred was born before his mother married on 26 Dec 1892 !

[Janet in Yorkshire]

Was trying to post, just as we went off!

Fred Bosman Worrall Jun qtr 1890 Patrington Reg dist. (birth)

There is also this marriage Harriet Worrall & Fred Bosman Dec qtr 1897 Patrington Reg Dist (see you've posted Fred belonged to Fanny, NOT Harriet!) Is this your Harriet?

Still playing catch up :D
Nancy retains the name Worrill, and the status of married! Wonder what happened to Henry, if he went before the birth of any of the girls?

Cor, this is getting complicated.
Fanny and Harriet were twin sisters of my great grand mother Sarah.( The chidren of Henry and Nancy Worrall/ Worrill )

Harriet married Fred Bosman in 1897.
They had only one son that I can find - Albert born 1899 at Sunk Island.

Fanny married Edward (aka Ned) Bosman in 1892
They had
Fred 1890- before they were married *see note further down
Charles Edward 1893
Ada 1899
Harold 1900
Frances 1904
Edith 1906
Thomas 1908

Edward Bosman b1863 and Fred Bosman b1872 were first cousins
