Hi
This is all correct with my Mullett family. Thankyou

OK I think your one is Joseph born 1859 fathers name George and Mothers name Matilda Homer

Hi
Sorry these guys are a bit early. Not mine. Thankyou
Green Family

I think Matilda Homer married Henry Richards in 1846 not George Mullett. However there is a James Mullett who married an Eliza Homer in 1858 who is a possibility . There is a 13 yr old Joseph Mullett b Rowley with parents James and Eliza in 1871 who could be that family.

Hi Grisel

James Mullett and Eliza Homer Census 1871 are mine. Thankyou

Hi green family,

I have spent some time looking at your query, as you will know it isn't going to be easy finding Joseph's ancestry without his Father's name, I, like you haven't found a likely marriage, nor have I pinned him down on census returns pre 1881.

I did a search for Windmill End and found a Mullett family there in 1861, but they didn't have a Joseph. Here's the family.

Correct family Thankyou

I'm back after falling asleep on the sofa. I'll probably be awake all night now, oh dear!

Back to business.

Yes Grisel, In 1851 census James and Rhoda have a son James age 13 (indexed 23yrs by Ancestry but original looks like 13)

Rhoda Mullett 5
Selina Mullett 5 Mo

It's interesting to note that Joseph and Louisa had a daughter named Eliza RHODA (perhaps named after Joseph's Grndmother)

I don't think it can be the same Louisa as if her she would be a maximum of 6 months.

(Reply #30)

Yes, you're right. I couldnt see another birth last night but I must have been going blind!

BROWNSWORD, LOUISA mmn PARSONS GRO Reference: 1859 J Quarter in WOLSTANTON Volume 6B Page 96
BROWNSWORD, LUCY mmn SCOTT GRO Reference: 1858 S Quarter in WOLSTANTON Volume 06B Page 104

So Lucy mmn Scott must be the one that died, leaving Louisa mmn Parsons

[green family]

Searching for Louisa before 1881 is proving difficult. I haven't pinned her down in censuses or found a birth registration. There's the one in 1866 which you mentioned but after her birth reg there's nothing and I do think that birth is too late for your Louisa.

The nearest birth record I have found is this.

BROWNSWORD, LOUISA, MMN PARSONS
GRO Reference: 1859 J Quarter in WOLSTANTON Volume 06B Page 96

However, could Brownsword be misheard for Brownsett, or vice versa, I'm not convinced.

This is the marriage for that Louisa's parents.

I will do some further investigation into your post information, I tend to go alone with your comments.
Thankyou

It looks like Joseph & Louisa also had a daughter named Selina, born & died 1903:

GRO Reference: 1903 J Quarter in DARLINGTON Volume 10A Page 21

As an aside, my GG Grandmother was also living at Cambridge Street, Stockton in the 1881 census (and for the next 20 years). My GG Grandfather had deserted her the year before, but he too was a Puddler. I know the area well if there's anything I can help with.

All together Joseph & Louisa had 11 children from 1880 to 1906 we are from the 3rd child Louisa Mullett 1885 in Warrington. On her birth cetificate it states MMD Brownsett, have found another Brownsett and also two with MMD Brown including Selina.
Traced through GRO marriage quarter index 1875-1881 no luck.
Thanks for your offer and information.

I also think that Louisa Brownsword b 1859 mmn Parsons is a possibility. A Joseph Brownsword b1833, father's name Richard Lear married a Mary Parsons b1829 in 1854 at Audley Staffs. Possible children are Hannah b1854, John b1856, Louisa b1859 and Sarah Jane b 1861.
