Hi, I'm hoping someone has sharper eyes/brains than me. William Osborne (Gt gt Granda) born abt 1852, Wigton, Cumberland I have traced through all census, I have his 1st and 2nd marriage cerificates and a photo of him. It's his mother and siblings I can find no trace of after 1861.
I have his older siblings on the 1851 census, John, abt 1843 Skinburness, Cumberland, Mary abt 1846 Skinburness, Nancy abt 1849 Wigton, Cumberland. They are with their Aunt Rachel Osborne (transcribed Osburn) at an address in Catherine Street, Maryport, Cumberland. Rachael, abt 1824 Skinburness,l was unmarried but had a son, Thomas abt 1847 Skinburness, and a daughter, Mary Ann abt 1843 Skinburness.
I have the family again on the 1861 census this time with their mother Betsy Osborne, abt 1821 Skinburness, Cumberland. The eldest boy John is not with her but Mary and Nancy plus William (Gt gt Granda) and a younger daughter Hannah,abt 1856. After that I can find nothing abt William's mother, siblings, aunt or cousins. One other detail on his second marriage cert William gives his fathers name as John Osborne ( no father's name on first cert for him or his wife). I have a possible birth for Nancy in the index which I will send for. Any help/ideas gratefully accepted. Cheers.
