Thom Scothern

[Gratty]

Tom's date of death is 2.3.1927 at Kirkby in Ashfield. On his marriage certificate the father is William Scothorn a Labourer. (Tom was 23 years old on 31.3.1872. the date of marriage). Witnesses were William Scothorn and Jane Taylor. (spelling is Scothorn not Scothern).

having had a good look around some notes on the Scothern family

1) On the 1881 census there is a relative living with Thom & Jemima, this appears to be Jemima's mother Hannah Riley and her son Tom Riley b 1872.

2) there is a child Ferdinand WRIGHT b 1872 presumably to Jemima however it is not clear from these registered birth's which is the stepson

WRIGHT, FERDINAND HARDY
GRO Reference: 1872 J Quarter in BASFORD Volume 07B Page 136

The only reference I can find to Jemima Wright is on the 1871 census

Seth Riley 43 Ilkeston Derbys
Hannah Riley 43
Fanny Riley 13
Mary Riley 11
James Riley 7
Sarah A Riley 5
Jemimah Wright 21 ( dau in law)

Looking at Jemima's parents I find a marriage
Marriages Jun 1857

Riley Seth Basford 7b 210
Wright Hannah Basford 7b 210

It follows that Jemima was born a WRIGHT and is Seth Riley's step dau or as is sometime recorded dau in law!

Jemima's birth registration = q1 1850 Wright Jemimah Leivers Basford 15 469
