You asked for it keith...here it is.... The mystery ...what was Matilda's maiden name? 1871 I find Matilda with John Poole and three Poole kids (one being Emma Poole) also..... two step sons. Chas and Able Horton. Sent for Hortons birth certs. Both boys parents are...George Horton and Matilda nee Powell. Searched and found marriage of Matilda Powell and George Horton 1856 a witness is a David Wilkinson (remember this name for later) The plot thickens... 1881 Matilda and John Poole still together but no Horton step sons. This isn't a problem as they would have been 22 and 24. 1882 Matilda marrys John Horton! Brides fathers name 'James Parkes' (deceased) One of the witnesses to the marriage was Emma Poole (my great grandma) Then!..... I was looking for David Wilkinson (remember him?) and found this in 1881... Household:1881 Name Relation Marital Status Gender Age Birthplace Occupation Disability David WILKINSON Head M Male 48 Willenhall, Stafford, England Keysmith Ann WILKINSON Wife M Female 46 Willenhall, Stafford, England Joseph PEARSON Lodger W Male 78 Willenhall, Stafford, England Locksmith Samuel WILKINSON Lodger W Male 78 Willenhall, Stafford, England Keysmith Charles WILKINSON Son U Male 31 Willenhall, Stafford, England Keysmith Richard HORTON Lodger W Male 72 Willenhall, Stafford, England Keysmith John HORTON Lodger U Male 30 Willenhall, Stafford, England Keysmith George Hortons father was Richard Horton so I think george and John were brothers! This all ties up so neatly but WHAT THE HELL WAS HER FLIPPIN MAIDEN NAME?!!Parkes or Powell? I dont think anyone can give me the answer but it helps to write it down and share it. ...and you thought you had a brick wall!! :-((( OK! off loaded now...thanks for listening :-)) |
