Find Ancestors

Dear all,

I am looking for two of ggggg uncles in the census:

1) Joseph Smitheringale, who was born in 1815 in West Deeping, and he died in August 1853 in Maxey, Northamptonshire.

2) Henry Smitheringale, born in 1826 in Maxey, Northamptonshire.

Obviously Joseph can only be found in the 1841 and 1851 census, but as for Henry I know of no other information other than he may have been bankrupt in 1862 ... I hope hoping to find out through research.

thank you in advance for any help!

the Christian boys are sons in law (step sons) so they must be the children from Alices first marriage, that would explain why she is older than him

I can't find them in 41 and the only 51 possibly Joseph is the John found above

Wow I left the PC and imagine my surprise to see all of this brilliant info - Linda thank you so much you have really pieced the family together for me. I found Henry's wife's Alice had died in 1896 aged 82, but strangely I can not find Henry's death ...

Lost for Words thank you - I had found Henry Smitheringale's bankrupt in another newspaper database but thanks to you I now have this:

Henry Smitheringale, of West Deeping, in the county of
Lincoln, Wheelwright, having been adjudged bankrupt
under a Petition for adjudication of Bankruptcy, filed in the
County Court of Lincolnshire, holden at Stamford, on the
6th day of March, 1862, a public sitting, for tbe said bankrupt
to pass his Last Examination, and make application
for his Discharge, will be held before Francis Ellis, Esq.,
Judge of the said Court, on the 12th day of May next, at
the Court, at Stamford, at two o'clock in the afternoon precisely,
the day last aforesaid being the day limited for the
said bankrupt to surrender. Messrs. Slieild and Hough,
Registrars of the said County Court, are the Official Assignees,
and Mr. Thomas Laxton, of Stamford, is the Solicitor
acting in the bankruptcy.

Yes Alice, was married before she married Henry in 1848 ... she married Thomas Christian in 1837 ...

Wow thank you all so much this is fabulous, and this all makes a very interesting family, what with the info I am gathering lately.

Can I ask though what Rebecca and her son Joseph are doing at Waldram Hall in 1841 - servants? If they are living in grandeur due to an inheritance that is news lol

No wonder I couldn't find them in 41, given this transcription

Rebecca has nothing written next to her
joseph has Wheelwright


The image shows that they are just living in the village of Maxey, The hall was on page one of the village, they are on page 5, nothing to do with the hall.

The only other family of the same name in the village are that John and Elizabeth and their children

Thank you so much for your help; John and Elizabeth are my gggg grandparents, and John is another son of Rebecca.

Thank you so much; I hope I am not be cheeky but did you see Joseph in 1851, just before he died in 1853?

Thank you again for your help!

I can't see him on the search, but i have the village images, there are 23 pages to look through.... back soon

Rebecca widow 52
unmarried daughter ann 30
Grandchildren James 7 and John 4

no Joseph with them, I will keep looking

John Smitheringale 36Railway porter , Mary Ann 21, George 13 John 11 Henry 9 Charles 5 Fanny 1

Joseph is not in Maxey, so goodness knows where he was tha tnight

Linda that is very sweet to do this search for me. Thank you very much ... I shall see what else I can find, and if there is anything new I will post here so we know what happened to Joseph!

LFW
The occupation for Joseph in 1851 looks like sawyer. Hes also unmarried

The family hes living with Katkley has Sarah as head of house and Ann as wife.Sarah is a male probably Edward occ sawyer

1841
Edward Rapley 1791 occ sawyer
Ann 1791 Essex
Mary Rapley 1821.
Ann Rapley 1826.
address Malting Yard Waltham Abbey

Wow! Thank you for this - you have helped me really piece this together! Thank you so much - so sad that Joseph was to die so soon after the 1851 aged so young ...

Thank you for your help again!
