  • Matchan death, Bilton, Yorkshire, School Teacher

    Can any one help me to find the death of Eliza Matchan birth registered Skirlaugh Dec 1839, she never married and lived her life next to the Vicarage, Bilton, Swine, Skirlaugh, Yorkshire, England. She was a school mistress until her mother died when she then became her father's housekeeper. After his death she lived on an annuity. She last appears in the 1901 census. I cannot find her on the 1911 census. Also as she was a school teacher will she be on any other records??

    Having a bad day as I now cannot find any record of Eliza's brother, Jesse Matchan, birth registered Dec 1837 Skirlaugh, except in 1841 and 1851 census. In 1851 he is a farm labourer in Anlaby for John Thompson.

      I've looked at the Enumerator's list for Bilton. Joseph FELL is still the schoolmaster, but there's no household listed between his and the Vicar's, Revd Mr COLE.

      If Eliza were still alive at the time, she's moved (or been moved) to somewhere else.
      other family?
      hospital?
      workhouse?
      unsuspected late marriage?

      She doesn't show up on the Yorks BMD deaths - but then she doesn't show up on the births, either.

          If that is Jesse why can't I find him in any census after 1851?

            Not sure - there are a number of Matchan in Skirlaugh - have you matched them up to the info you do have? http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl
            Patrington looks like it's not too far from Skirlaugh..seems like they've not been transcribed correctly perhaps..can you see a Matcham that would fit?

              Pleased to be able to help you solve your Matchan mysteries. Eliza Matchan died in Hull on 27 Feb 1909. Her brother Jesse Matchan emigrated to the USA in or around 1857.

                Welcome to FTF, pajkn! Especially when your first post is to try to help someone else. It does look as though Grandma Silver hasn't visited for a few months. I suggest you send her a PM (Personal Message), which should trigger an email alert to her if her settings are appropriately set up. If you click on the name, you'll get a drop-down menu, of which one item is an envelope-icon labelled "Private Message". If you have any problems sending the message, there's just a possibility that you will have fallen foul of the anti-spamming settings we've had to set up - but you'll find you have fuller permissions as soon as you've put up ten posts.
