Trying to find Wollerton

Here's their marriage for ya ... if yer still reading ;) --

Name: James Moxon + Lucy Wollerton on same page
Year of Registration: 1906
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
District: Barnsley
County: Yorkshire - West Riding
Volume: 9c
Page: 205

Are you looking for more info behind them?

These are the births of their children transcribed so far:

Richard Moxon 1913 Jan-Feb-Mar Wollerton Barnsley Yorkshire - West Riding

Gladys Moxon 1917 Jul-Aug-Sep Wellerton Barnsley Yorkshire - West Riding

Jennie Moxon 1919 Oct-Nov-Dec Woollerton Barnsley Yorkshire - West Riding

Richard would likely be the child or infant who died.

If he is, It doesn't look like any other Wollerton/Moxon couple was producing babies in that time and place, or at least a few years before the birth of Margaret.

You could go through the images for deaths for the relevant period to see whether the Margaret you found died shortly after birth -- at www.freebmd.org. It's a tedious process there; if you have Ancestry access, the one I'm familiar with, it's much faster. ... So I did it. ;) No Margaret Moxon death in 1826, at least.

Ah, here we are. Richard is the one who died in infancy:

Name: Richard Moxon
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1913
Year of Registration: 1913
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
Age at Death: 0
District: Barnsley
County: Yorkshire - West Riding
Volume: 9c
Page: 281

So Margaret could have been the one who died at age 6.

Hi there

I have a Muriel Wollerton (1929) in my tree. She was born in Barnsley, and married my late uncle William Ivill. Muriel died in Pontefract in 1999
I don't know anything more about her, but she may be related to your Wollertons.

Hello there, I am completely new to geneology and would love some help. I so far have managed to find my great grandmother, Lucy Wollerton b26/12/1884 - d22/09/1969. She was known locally be all and sundry as Mother Moxon. She married James Moxon but I do not know the date of their marriage. They went on to have several children, inlcuding Gladys, Matthew, Arthur, Leonard, Alice, Phyllis and Jennie. My sister and I have found a record in the births register for a Margaret Moxon b1926 on the same page as Matthew (who is added at the bottom in pen). The place of birth for both Matthew and Margaret is Barnsley and the mothers maiden name is Wollerton, which would fit in with my great grandmother. However, Matthew passed away last month and this is the first we have heard of Margaret. We do know that Mother Moxon had a child aged 6, that died and we suspect there could also be a baby that died. Does anyone know if Margaret is one of the children or could it just be an amazing coincidence that two Wollerton ladies in the Barnsley area married two Moxons and had children in the same quarter? I should also mention they all originate from Barnsley, South Yorkshire. Thank you for your help. Melanie
