    I know how you feel, I spent ages looking for something at weekend, gave up and then it was there right under my nose!

    • Just an update. Checked out the hotspot for the Irish community in Marylebone. Poor enumerator. He noted in the census form a message to Registrar that he should be aware of the difficulties of one person assigned to the area as the forms had not been completed - were they ever? - and that not only did he not have a table to use, there wasn't even a chair. It took him 2 weeks to complete and even then he missed those at the back. And I didn't find one Larkin in the area.

      Still looking at the NA. Lots of possibilities for William but you would need to take your bed to wade through them if you visit. Not come across any 1860 attestations for the 59th.

        Wow! that must have been horrible for the enumerator.

        I had been contacted by a lady whose grandmother was Alice Adele TRANSFIELD. [remember them?] my reply went as follows:



        Flora Druscilla Brown was the daughter of William Atwood Brown and Jane Larkin/s. Jane Larkin/s married Thomas E Transfield. I have both Larkin/s and Browns in my tree and was attempting to see where/how they connected. I haven't found a connection as of yet. I do have the birth PDF of Flora should you wish a copy of it.

        she had never been able to find any details of Jane Larkins/Transfield

        I found the death details for Jane Transfield Brown

        Name: Jane Transfield Brown
        Estimated Birth Year: abt 1833
        Registration Year: 1871
        Registration Quarter: Jan-Feb-Mar
        Age at Death: 38
        Registration District: Kensington
        Inferred County: London
        Volume: 1a
        Page: 104

        She ordered the cert and it is her relation!.. she was over the moon with it and couldn't thank me enough... to me it's just what you do, find info and pass it on.

        this new information has opened up a whole new avenue for her to research, so whilst we might not be related we have all helped someone else on their family quest.

              • I've been sitting playing about with Irish naming patterns.... and I'm still not sure I'm anymore further on!

                It didn't hit me until I sat looking at the names of their 10 children.. [they had 13 but I have only the names for 10] I suspect I'll need to find the missing ones before it might make more sense?

                • Well, I think that I have found two of the three missing children, but the third is being a little problematic. I 'think' it was a girl and I have no idea really which one it could be..... there are quite a few Skelton girls with MMN of Brown. FMP search wasn't any help as that didn't even show half of them...

                  I have found two burials for the boys.... but I can't tie the address down to the family as it was in between census... hmmm

                    I have had a bit of luck confirming some children that had been born/died to Kate Skelton.. Just one left now to find.

                    I was pointed in the direction of some school records, which it mentions the address where Robert and Richard and William James Skelton lived and it matches with the place of death for Edward and Harry.

                    Just one missing child now. This is what I have:

                    Richard - 1887
                    William James - 1889
                    Robert - 1892
                    Harry - 1894
                    Mabel - 1896
                    Edward - 1896
                    Annie - 1897
                    Kate - 1899
                    George Arthur - 1902
                    Theresa - 1904
                    Harry - 1907
                    Ernest - 1911

                    and then the missing child.

                        back up now, but I have been backwards and forwards from 1887-1911 and I can't spot any other possible births/deaths that could be the missing child. Bit stumped now.

                          trying to decide where the gap would be for a missing child.

                                yep been there did that...

                                births would have been Nottingham, Chesterfield, or Sheffield, the only other thing I can come up with is a stillbirth [which would be on a separate register?] but thought that came in in the 1920s, either that or she miscarried later in her pregnancy.

                                  I was just thinking out loud really... I had the idea that Kate 'may' have used irish naming traditions for her children, but then wasn't sure quite what to make of it.

                                          mm I thought that perhaps William would be father and James grandfather? but I could be totally wrong!

                                          from looking at the gaps I figured any b/d would be between Harry#2 and Ernest so 1907-1911.

                                          aha...thank you, will have a look.

                                          I might be able to see where she is buried... though for some reason I cannot see her on GRO to get her MMN.
