George Easom, Old Basford

[MarkJ]

Hiya,
Doing a spot of research on my wifes family and wondering if SKS can do a lookup on the 1851 census for Old Basford, Nottingham for George Easom - born about 1847, so he should be around 4 years of age. Parents, siblings... the usual stuff please if possible.

Many thanks in advance,

Mark

Mark,

Would you like the marriage details for William & Sarah from the Notts FHS Marriage Index and the baptismal details of their children from the Baptismal Index or do you already have the information??

Janet - that would be wonderful! Thank you! I haven't got back past George so far, although he seems to be an intriguing character. He apparently was in the Grenadier Guards according to the later census and married a lady from Culham in Oxfordshire - presumably whilst he was in the Guards. The marriage seems to have taken place some time after the birth of his two children in Yorkshire! So he got around a bit!

This forum is brilliant isn't it? Everyone helps each other out in a way which you don't see generally.

Cheers,
Mark

Hi Mark,

Sorry for the delay, but here are details from Notts FHS discs:

Marriage Index:

11 January 1846 at Basford William EASOM married Sarah EASOM (sounds intriguing!!)

Baptismal Index:

15 July 1850 at Basford George son William & Sarah EASOM, labourer
15 July 1850 do Mary daughter of William & Sarah EASOM, labourer
15 December 1851 do James son William & Sarah EASOM, labourer
7 August 1854 do Emma daughter William & Sarah EASOM

From the 1851 census records, William was born c1821 in Basford and Sarah was born c1823 in Basford so:

1 August 1819 at Basford William son William & Mary EASOM, labourer
31 December 1820 do William son James & Ann EASOM, FWK
11 November 1821 do Sarah daughter John & Martha EASOM, labourer
8 June 1823 do Sarah daughter George & Mary EASOM, labourer

However, there is a burial on 11 January 1822 of a Sarah EASOM, infant, so I think we can safely assume the second Sarah is yours.


Going back another generation, from the Marriage Index again:

21 July 1818 at Basford James EASOM married Ann BUTLER
27 January 1819 do William EASOM married Mary COOPER
31 March 1823 do George EASOM married Mary TOFT

Hope this helps and when you have worked out who are the parents of William EASOM, do ask if you need any further info from the Notts FHS cds.

Many thanks Janet! That should keep me going for a few hours later this evening

Cheers,
Mark
