George Hope of Kirklinton

[JandL]

Does anyone have any information about a George Hope (1816-1901) and Jane Chambers who married 9/11/1839 in Kirklinton. Many thanks

I presume that you have all the details about the couple to be found on the familysearch site, including the Censuses? I can't find anything to add to what is available there.

Sorry, but not familiar with family search site. However I did find a tree, which gave George 1816-1901; a Jane Chambers as his wife, and listed 7 children. I found their marriage on FreeBDM index. That is the sum total of my knowledge. Jane may have died in 1894 according to FreeBDM. I was hoping someone might know more regarding Jane, perhaps parents names etc. I do not have any census, but I will try and obtain the 1881. Thank you for responding.

1841 Census Ref: Class: HO107; Piece: 169; Book: 1, Folio: 19; Page: 33 : Kirklington, Cumberland. They are living with David and Mary Chambers and have 1 son John. George is a stone mason, and David Chambers aged 70 is an agricultural labourer.

David Chambers died in 1848. Mary Chambers died 1867.

1851 Census Ref: Class: HO107; Piece: 2428; Folio: 322; Page: 9 : Kirklington, Cumberland. 4 sons: John James George and David. Jane is same age as her husband, who is a journeyman mason. They are all born locally.

1861 Census Ref: Class: RG 9; Piece: 3912; Folio: 60; Page: 14 : Kirklington, Cumberland. 4 sons: James, George, David, Thomas and 2 daughters Jane and Mary. George is a Tombstone cutter.

1871 Census Ref: Class: RG10; Piece: 5214; Folio: 46; Page: 3: Kirklington, Cumberland. 3 sons: George, David, Thomas and 2 daughters Jane and Mary and in what looks like the next household, is a lone lady Mary Ann Hope aged 23 “wife” who is not listed as the head of the house, and is described as a mason’s wife; could she be a daughter in law? George and his sons are described as sculptors.

1881 Census Ref: Class: RG11; Piece: 5152; Folio: 123; Page: 3: Kirklington, Cumberland. 2 sons: David and Thomas and 2 daughters Jane and Mary. George and his sons are stone cutters. Lower down on the same page of the census you will find James Hope aged 37 a Stone Cutter living with his wife Mary Ann and their children. This is probably George and Jane’s son James.

1891 Census Ref: Class: RG12; Piece: 4283; Folio: 107; Page: 9: Kirklington, Cumberland. 2 sons: David and Thomas and 1 daughter Mary. Also there are 3 grandchildren Mary A and George Hope aged 19 and 16 respectively and James Graham aged 4. George and his sons are stone cutters. His grandson is a postman.

Jane Hope died 20 Sep 1894.

George Hope died 13 Feb 1901 and probate was granted 27 March 1901 at Carlisle to David and Thomas Hope. He left an estate valued at £1772 2s 3d.

David Chambers married Mary Johnstone 1 August 1814 Kirklington. Mary Johnstone was baptised 16 April 1780 in Kirklington to Hugh and Jane Johnstone. Hugh Johnstone aged 28 married Jane Moffit aged 24 26 May 1773 in Kirklinton.

Thank you everyone so much. Megan, yes in the 1871 census the lone Mary Ann was the wife of James Hope, stone cutter. It is that line I am pursuing. Mary Ann was a Walker born in Berkshire (I think) and she died in 1906 (I think) but that is all I know of her.
It will take me a while to digest everyone's posts, hopefully I wont have to trouble you again, but I am very grateful for the help.

For future reference the LDS (Mormon) Church site at familysearch.org is a good place to start looking for ancestors.

As I said in my earlier post there is a lot of information re George and Jane.
