  • What happened to Ann Crosland?

    OH's 3x-great-grandmother has disappeared and cannot be found. :(

    I have her until the 1851 census:

    1841 Census
    HO107 1272 Book/folio 2/38 page 23
    Charles Street Wakefield
    Ann Crosland 45 ? Y
    Wm 14 Lbor Y
    Benjn 10 Y
    Richd 5 Y

    1851 Census
    HO107; 2327; 42; 20
    Lower York Street, Wakefield St John;s
    Ann Crossland Head W 55 Sempstress Yorks Stanley
    Richard Son U 29 Printer’s Ap. Yorks Morley

    Then, I have just found her in 1858:
    Accounts 1858 - Arrears~ Northgate

    She's on the 3rd page, 4th from the bottom.

    It would appear she is in financial difficulties as she has been excused 7/6 in rates.

    Her children had all moved away, so it is possible she died closer to one of them. One boy (Richard) was in Leeds, and two children in Sheffield district.

    However, I can't pin down a death.

      Sue, thank you!!
      Why didn't I see that (I have been looking all morning!)

      Off to the drawing board again, I'm determined to get her through to the end.

        I'm confused!

        After Sue finding Ann on the 1861 census, I found a likely death in 1865, so I sent for the death cert.

        It arrived today (double-quick service!).

        When and where died:
        Lower York Street - big tick, that's where she was on census

        Age:
        56 years ?????????? On the 1861 census she was 66

        Occupation: Seamstress - tick, that's what she was in 1851

        Casue of death: Disease of lungs of long standing

        Informant: Edward Brook present at the death Upper ? Row Leeds

        No mention of whether she was a widow (hopefully) or single.

        How frustrating - but it looks like her except the age is completely wrong!

          Very weird - the informant Edward Brook is also the Registrar! And he lives in Leeds - what was he doing at her deathbed?

            Well, on the 1861 and 1871 Censuses Edward Brook is the Registrar of Births and Deaths for Wakfield and is living in Hatfield Street - just around the corner from Lower York Street where Ann Crosland lived.

            I'm not sure why he has a Leeds address in 1865 - perhaps just temporary?
