hi dea
thanks hun i,m still trawling about to see if there are any more possibles but up to press found nothing that fits but still plodding on

i also will have go off in a bit for nursery run for my grandson so will be away for a few hours as i have to pick him up & deposit him at his other grandmothers as daughter just phoned to say she working late oh the joys just when i was getting stuck in
once again thanks to all who are looking

jacky

Hi again,

Not really back yet but came for a little peep!

Looked at that link and yes, as batman'sdaughter says, it does indeed say stone Quarrier which is not a great distance away from a stone mason so is possible.

However, I really think you may be onto something here - no Susannah, BUT there is a daughter 'Hannah' which could well be a nickname - a shortening of Susannah??? She is born around the right time!!

Needs looking into - Will be back soon.

Dea x

thank you batmans daughter for that infomation

hi dea

not sure where is buried but would have thought it would be hunslet as most of my relies ended up there is there a way of finding out ??

thanks jacky

Jacky,

that census states stone Quarrier.

Don't give up yet!!!

There are lots of things to follow!

You say she was buried in Leeds - is there a headstone? Was it a 'family grave'?

Also - we know her father was John Walker and we know he was a Mason! - He may have been 'deceased' at the time of her marriage - It does not always say so on the cert!!

We therefore have to look at earlier census's perhaps, rather than later ones?

Have to go off for a few minutes - husband is 'starving' !! - Will come back soon.

Dea x

no just says spinster

jacky

hi dea
sorry i know i,m a pain but would you look at the link below & see if it says stone something (for john walker with wife nancy ) the reason i have looked at this is cos it the right area for the marrige woodhouse/meanwood (st marks ) & joseph may lived at other side of the city was it normal to get married in the brides parish she may have been transcibed as hannah on this census
or do you think i,m just cluching at straws

thanks
jacky

Jacky,

does Susannah have an occupation on the marriage cert?

Dee x

thank you both for that
i guess thats where her branch ends then as i,m at a loss as to where to go from here once again thanks everyone
jacky

Don't rely on info from a death certificate. Sometimes it's not even a family member who registers the death. My gt. grandfather's death certicicate told me nothing other than what he died from. It was registered by someone who worked for him.

It would not name her parents, unless one of them was the informant on her death cert - then that one would be mentioned.

Sorry,

Dea x

hi dea
if i get her death cert would it name her parents or would it just name her husband & maiden name & what she died of ???

jacky

ok thanks dea back to the drawing board lol
jacky

Sorry Jacky - the occupation is definitely 'Mason'
