If this is her death:
Deaths Mar 1914
Cottrell Emily 65 I. Wight 2b 900
she should be on 1911, but not showing on a quick look.

Is this the marriage?

1876 COTTRELL Alfred VANNER Emily St Thomas, Ryde COE37.2/92

SylviaInCanada Report 18 Sep 2011 00:48

possible alternative spellings are

cottrill
cottrel
cottril
cotterell
cotterill

etc, etc


I have Cottrell in my family ........ but mine are all from the north of England, and have no connection with the south. So there is no connection between Ann and myself


Just that I've been through all the permutations needed to find them!

Thank you very much Patchem,
That is interesting, a lodger was there 10 years & no husband! please can you tell me if she was still at 19, Castle Street.
Thank you ,
Ann

Sorry,
1901 at, probably, 18 Castle Street.

It is of course quite possible that Alfred was at sea on the ship on census night ...... and so would not have been counted.


It seems that ships in harbour filled out the census form, ships at sea did not ....... although that is not a hard and fast rule!

Is that her on the 81 census with a 12 year old son George H. Stanner? Could he be George Henry Vanner born before marriage? This birth record has no other surname attached:

1868 VANNER
George Henry Ryde R30/E25

Now, this is that Alfred that you found on the 1881 census, living in Portsmouht, with father George, and brothers Henry and Joseph.


In 1891, this Alfred is living alone, shown as Head ......... but he also says he is married

1891 Census

Name: Alfred Cottrell
Age: 37
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1854
Relation: Head
Gender: Male
Where born: Portsmouth, Hampshire, England

Civil parish: Portsmouth
Ecclesiastical parish: Portsmouth

County/Island: Hampshire
Country: England

Registration district: Portsea Island

Alfred Cottrell 37 Married, Master Mariner

It is of course, entirely possible that the marriage broke down! And that they lived apart
