Find Ancestors

WELL DONE !!!!!! Justine x

Hi Tracy, Glad it helped, maybe I can now find mine as the connection between Hobson/Hopson has been proved!! I got stuck abt 1854 in Lower Gornal Staffs but you have given me hope now Amanda X

Amanda, you little star. Look what I just found! Micheal Hopson abt 1843 Hatteredge, Derbyshire, England Head Woolwich St Mary London Elizabeth Hopson abt 1843 Stockport, Lancashire, England Wife Woolwich St Mary London Dennis J Hopson abt 1869 Woolwich, Kent, England Son Woolwich St Mary London Catherine Rilleen abt 1811 Helegoland Woolwich St Mary London Maybe they're related to yours lol Catherine is Elizabeth's mother :) and I just found out that some of them went to the RC church in Hathersage, so this all fits nicely now.

Hi Tracey, I have Hobson's but they are also Hopson's at times. Hope it's a (small) help ! Best wishes Amanda

bum !!!

I had a quick look, but I couldn't find one lol

What about trying to find Elizabeth Killeen on the 1861 census... this could give you some family names that they may of used for their own children.

Yes, Justine, that's the one I found. As you can understand it confused me quite a bit when I couldn't find them on a census lol I had a look at the Michael & Elizabeth you found. Might be them, but who knows lol

Assuming children would of followed the marriage there are two births in Bakewell following the marital year of 1866, these are the only two in Bakewell so maybe they moved to Leeds as well. Male, Hobson 1870 June Bakewell Edwin Hobson, 1877 September Bakewell The only Michael and Elizabeth that I can find as a couple are on the American Census of 1880 and their birth years are 12 years out!!!! But they were born in England....

These are the marriage details from Ancestry, at least we have confirmed that it was Elizabeth that he married! Name: HOBSON, Michael Record Type: Marriages Quarter: June Year: 1866 District: Bakewell (1839 onw) County: Derbyshire Volume: 7b Page: 1011 (click to see others on page)

1. Name Michael HOBSON Year 1866 married at Hathersage Rom.Cath.Chp Spouse name Elizabeth KILLEEN Reg. Office 391 Register Entry RO/13/001 Amount paid £0.06 Found this marriage on the Family history online site. Does this match the info that you have already?

Thanks for your help Justine. I'm glad it wasn't just me lol

Have been looking for Michael and wife but no sign of them... Looks like a UFO came and took them off somewhere, most probably with my mary jane durham and all the other missing rellies on these boards. Shall take another look later. Bye for now Justine

Thanks Justine, I do think that is her. I think I found her husband in 1863 too, but there's no age shown for that one.

This looks like your Catherine Hobson although age slightly out.... Name: Hobson, Catherine Record Type: Deaths Age at death: 66 Quarter: September Year: 1867 District: Bakewell (1839 onw) County: Derbyshire Volume: 7b Page: 335 (click to see others on page)
