Mary Holmes problem..

[Darksecretz]

I have been looking into my Holmes family again...

I have a Mary Holmes b. abt. 1776 Leicestershire.

I have her on the 1841 census with her son Edward Holmes and his wife Harriet (mistrans as Hannah) and their children Joseph and Eliza

1841:

- Ancestry.co.uk



1851:
I think that this is her but this time she is living with another 'son' though I cannot find any evidence that he is her son or any siblings atmo.

- Ancestry.co.uk

I have found a baptism of an Edward Holmes, states parents as Joseph & Mary Holmes of Smisby, Derbyshire.



can anyone else find Samuel (from 1851) in any other census, I'm having a bit of a foggy day, so am struggling abit.

many thanks for any help..

This is the only mention of "Samuel" that I can see in your post. Are you having trouble because you're looking for the wrong name? (I have done this myself, so I know how easily it's done! :o

This looks like Samuel in 1871

sorry Christine, I didnt make myself very clear, Mary was living with Edward in 1841 and I think she was living with Samuel (another son) in 1851.

I can't find Samuel in 1841 and it looks like Jackie has found him in 1871,
Thank you Jackie

from looking at maps, Worthington isnt that far from Lount/Newbold/Staunton/...

The family eventually settled in Whitwick and then migrated to Nottm.

This might be him in 1881 Enable Cookies - Ancestry.co.uk but as he's in the Workhouse it's not much use!

According to Genuki, Worthington is only 4miles from Smisby......

1861:

ok so its just the 1841 now that I am missing..

can anyone see it please?

Samuel Holmes, b. 1802 either leicestershire or derbyshire.. with wife Ann

[Sue from Southend]

There's a Samuel Holmes with wife Ann here - Ancestry.co.uk Bbut my Derbyshire geography is nil so I've no idea if it's the right area....

[Darksecretz]

thanks Sue.. its roughly 45 miles between them.. which isnt unheard of, but for the moment I guess they are mistrans somewhere,

I guess if he was a collier he could be anywhere working.

Wendy,

Thank you very much!! That does confirm my thinking then.. he did get mistranscribed...

all I have to do now is find a likely bapt and marriage for the parents and more children, (if ever!!)
