Find Ancestors

I am trying to find the mother of Rebecca Blackburn Chamberlain, her father was Thomas but I cannot find a Baptism record for Rebecca. I am getting easily confused with all these dates as I mean to include this request in my earlier request for info as to where I can find BMD prior to 1837. I have tried on here (I am a platinum member), Family Search and Free Reg Search but cannot find anything to confirm her mother's name.

When, where and whom did she marry? Just to place her.

Jan, She married John Gray on 8th September 1842 at Holbeach. I have found their marriage and on some of the census forms. I am also trying to deciper the name of one of their children - it looks like Siliteo on one but on another letitia

Lincs I see (you need to put county): For info:

1851 England Census

Name: Rebecca Gray
Age: 29
Estimated birth year: abt 1822
Relation: Wife
Spouse's name: John Gray
Gender: F (Female)
Where born: Riston, Lincolnshire, England

Civil Parish: Holbeach

ED, institution, or vessel: 2f

John Gray 35
Rebecca Gray 29
John Gray 7
William Gray 5
Rachael Gray 3
Sarah Ann Gray 10 MO
Mary Gray 63

Do you have an occupation for Thomas?

The marriage record has her name spelled Rebecca Blackburne Chamberlin.

One of the possibilities, but we need an occupation:

???Same parish as where they were living on the 1841 Jan posted....

Could this be Rebecca in 1841 ..same area as she was living in 1851

1841 Census

Name: Rebecca Chamberlin
Age: 20
Estimated birth year: abt 1821
Gender: Female
Where born: Lincolnshire, England

Civil Parish: Holbeach
Hundred: Elloe
County/Island: Lincolnshire
Country: England

Registration district: Holbeach
Sub-registration district: Holbeach

Rebecca Chamberlin 20 Female Servant
Samuel Garner 25
James Russel 25


Address:- High Street


The 3 actually seem to living in part of the premises occupied by the following:-

Joseph George 35 Publican
Mary George 30
William George 2
Henry George 7 MO


The next street address is Red Lion Square ................. so it might be that Joseph George is the Publican of the Red Lion, and Rebecca is working for him



that's my hypothesis anyway!




sylvia

But of coruse, it means that this is the earliest census that we have access to, and she is not living at home.


so we don't get a clue as to her mother's name





sylvia

In the 1861 census Rebecca's place of birth is given as Boston so maybe Riston in 1851 is a mistranscription? Faldingworth is a long way from Boston/Holbeach but there is a family of Thomas Chamberlin and Ann in New Sleaford 1812 - 1824 but no Rebecca and no marriage for the parents!

Thank you Sylvia, I had found her living apart from her parents but didn't have all the other information you sent.

Frances, on one of the census returns her place of birth is given as Kirton, which I suppose could be misread as Riston so maybe that is where Boston comes in. Thank you.
