    Default census look-up please

    Hi,
    I have this family on the 1861 census;
    John Cox age 50 widower b. Potton, Beds
    John (son) age 25 b. Potton
    Mary (daughter-in-law) age 23 b. Sutton
    Living in King Street, Potton.
    I'd like to know the name of John's wife, so if someone can go back and check the earlier census I'd be very grateful.

    In 1851 John was already a widower:

    Holland, Potton, Bedfordshire

    Thomas Ginn, Head, Married, 66, Ag Lab, b Potton
    Mary Ginn, Wife, 65, b Gamlingay, Cambridgeshire
    John Cox, Lodger, Widower, 40, Ag Lab, b Potton
    Susan Cox, dau, 11 b Potton

    There are a few likely candidates in 1841, but none living in Potton. Do you have the names of any other children?

    Hi Jan,
    Thanks for your help. I've had a look through my notes and found a Susan Cox chr.20/09/1840 daughter of John and Hannah. One of the possible marriages for John is on 19/05/1834 to Hannah Green so I think it's likely that Hannah is who I'm looking for. I'm off to check death dates now I've got a name.
    Thanks again,
    Angelaj

    Default 1841

    Not looking good for 1841 either...

    Sutton End, Gamlingay, Cambridgeshire HO 107/68/13 page 20

    Able Webb, 29, Ag Lab Y (to born in county)
    Elizabeth Webb, 27, N
    John Cox, 30, Ag Lab, N
    John Cox, 5, N
    Susan Cox, 1, N

    William Barnes, 60, N
    Mary Barnes, 55, N

    You may well find that John's wife died in childbirth with Susan so check the Parish Records for Potton, if you can.

    You may also find that Elizabeth Webb coould be John's sister. Many families looked after their own when a mother died.

    Good luck,

    Default Mary Ginn

    Hi I have a Mary Ginn whom married a John Webb in my family line I am tracing back.
    They had a daughter Mary Webb whom Married Thomas Kelly.

    I am wondering if your Mary Ginn may have a link her... Perhaps her mother.

    Any info would be excellent.
