Hi I'm trying to find information Joseph Routh born in Hemingbrough about 1814. According to the 1851 census he was married to Nancy and had 3 children Edward, Mary and Thomas. On the 1861 census Joseph was married to Mary Anne Fairweather and they had a 9 month old daughter Jane. I can find no record of Nancy's death or any records of marriages, If anybody can shed light on Nancy Routh I would be most grateful. Many Thanks Chris Carter

This post is very old and you might have found what you want. I have a photo copy of a marriage certificate for Nancy Fairweather and Joseph Routh June 13th 1844. Married in Hemingbrough. The strange thing about it, is. Mary Fairweather was written first. The Mary crossed out and Nancy written above it.
On a visit to Hemingbrough church about 6 years ago, I found a head stone that read. Nancy beloved wife of Joseph Routh. Died february 20th 1856. 36yrs old. Also on the same head stone.Mary his second wife. Died 3rd November 1879. 58yrs old. plus Joseph Routh died feb 3rd 1883 aged 68yrs.
