im not asking for anyone to look for my nan as we couldnt find her but i think i i may have found her dad,she was ada mary bassindale and on her marriage cert her dad was john now she was born 1869,this is what i found john bassindale abt 15 march 1827,belton in axholme,lincoln father edward bassindale mother elizabeth bassindale do you think im right in thinking he was her dad thank you

Hi I will take a look and see if I can find them in 1871 and get her fathers birth off that.. Back in a mo Lesley :~)

ok thanks leslie

Hi Note slight difference in surname spellings.... There is only 1 Ada ( Bassindale ) in 1871 b:1865 Wroot Lincs...Living in Notts.....BUT her father is ROBERT... There is an ADA ( Bassendale ) b:1869 Hepworth Lins in 1871 but she living with Grandparents in Salford..there are also 2 sisters with this Ada named Elizabeth b:1863 & Louisa b:1860 On her marriage cert does it say John's occupation please? Lesley :~)

liceused vichualler ,the one in salford i already had but i dont think theres much chance of finding but thanks for looking

JOYCE The one born in 1827 on the census's is a Farm Labourer or Ag lab ...so I dont think that is your John..Ada's Father.... What yr did Ada get Married? Lesley :~)

Is she the one who married JAS 1893 in W. Derby to Thomas Hampson or Samuel Mellor? If so, was her father shown as alive on the MC and what was his occupation?

she was married 1893 to samuel mellor walton on the hill county of lancaster

Joyce - was her father alive on the MC and what was his occupation? Who were the witnesses?

Jools Joyce has said that John's occ: Licenced Victualler but she has not told me wether he alive at time of marriage.. Lesley :~)

I take it you have the 1901 for Ada with Samuel? If not let me know... Just for others for ref: Name: Ada Mary Mellor Age: 31 Estimated birth year: abt 1870 Relation: Wife Household: Gender: Female Where born: Manchester, Lancashire, England Lesley :~)

yes lesley have the 1901 thank you

i also have the address at the time of marriage it was 92 olivia street,bootle ,liverpool

jools the wittness were william spencer mary jane bunfield sorry took so long had the phisio here

I have got to go now but will come back later and see if anybody has progressed for you.... Good luck Hope you find some more info re: Ada Lesley :~)

ok thank you lesley

She wasn't living at 92 Olivia St, Bootle on the 1891. John & Emma Henderson were. rg12/2970/97/58 It's also equally clear there there's no birth for an ada mary bas(s)in(g)dale between JFM 1869 and JFM 1871 as I've just checked the images.

ARrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh Ada Bassindale - the stuff nightmares are made of!! I believe we came to the conclusion that she must have been born Lincs, despite saying Manchester. Her son , whose name escapes me for a mo- it was imprinted on my brain for a while - has an 'unaccounted for' middle name - just remembered it -Joseph RATHBONE mellor

Echoing Jess - AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH It would have helped if I could have found a birth for her - but no. No John on 81 as a victualler, publican or anything else vaguely beery. Must go & get something for tea - himself requires feeding at 5pm prior to doing a night shift. Back later. UPDATE - Jess - perhaps she said Manchester because she thought she was - it's that one someone found on the 1871 with her at grandparents in Salford somewhere higher up the thread (I think the head was a william from Lincolnshire) Gone.
