Find Ancestors

Born Emma Scott 1832, married William Moore 30/09/1849 (Unable to find any record of a divorce between 1850 & 1853)
The 1851 Ancestry .co.uk Census shows Emma Moore aged 20 as a lodger at 12, Pierrepont St. Nottingham, also at the same address was a Henry Savage Born 1825 also a lodger.
The 1861 Genes reunited Census shows Henry Savage 36 as head (Cordwainer) and Emma Savage as Wife (Seamstress), living at 16, Commerce St, St Marys, Nottingham. The family cosists of four children: Eliza 10 (1851), Henry 5 (1856), James 3 (1858) and Alfred 0 (1861).
The 1871 Ancestry.co.uk Census shows Emma Savage 39 as head of the family, with Henry 15, James 13, and Alfred 8. No record here of Husband Henry or Daughter Eliza.
1871 Ancestry .co.uk Census shows Eliza Savage as a visitor at address in Lowdham, Nottingham, with a George and Fanny Wood family, plus seven other visitors.
The same 1871 Census shows Henry Savage 54 as being a Patient at "Middlesex Lunatic Asylum", Marital Status : Widow, Occupation: Shoemaker.

After the 1871 Census I am unable to find what happened to Emma, where she lived, did she remarry, when did she Die? Any help would fill gaps in my research.
Many thanks,regards William

Henry Savage is a widower in the 1881 census, so she should have died before that date.

According to this link, the National Archive don't have divorce records before 1858.

Where have you looked?

Have you used freebmd?

How do you know that the woman living as Henry Savage's wife was the one born as Scott......do you have birth certs of children to prove that it's the same woman?

Emma Savage (Savidge) claims to be widowed in 1871, so a slight mis-communication between them.

If Alfred was 0 in 1861 and 8 in 1871, then probably the first child died?

Births Sep 1860
SAVAGE Alfred Nottingham 7b 212
Births Dec 1862
SAVAGE Alfred Nottingham 7b 222

?
Deaths Sep 1861
Savage Alfred Nottingham 7b 127

This seems to 'confirm' the Scott/Savage connection.

Are you sure Henry was in the Aslyum in 1871?

................there's also this one you may like to consider:-

Looks as though above Henry Savage, came out of prison and went straight back in :-

England & Wales, Criminal Registers, 1791-1892 about Henry Savage

..............maybe Emma left him because of his criminal ways?????

This newspaper article ties in with those records above:

Publication:Nottinghamshire Guardian
Publication date:Friday 23 April 1869

Article text:
"William Morley, hay-cutter, William Powell, porter, James Gadsby, publican, and Henry Savage, cordwainer, were brought up charged with stealing 100lbs. weight of Italian silk, the property of Mr. William Elliott"

Those names are on the same page of the court register posted above.

Presumably William believes that it is the correct Henry in 1881 as he is a shoemaker:
Henry Savage
Age: 54 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1827
Relationship to Head: Patient Gender: Male
Civil Parish: Norwood County/Island: Middlesex
Country: England
Street Address: "Middlesex Lunatic Asylum"
Marital Status: Widow Occupation: Shoemaker
Registration District: Uxbridge Sub-registration District: Hayes
ED, institution, or vessel: Middlesex Lunatic Asylum

So the Henry Savage aged 54yrs that was in the Asylum, that William found, was not on the 1871 census but the 1881 census. So could be the same one that I found in the 1871 census where he was in prison.

From a tree on ancestry:-


Death
1894 18 Jul
Age: 69
Lunatic Asylum, Norwood, Workhouse.London
Had been transferred to a Lunatic Asylum Bethnal Green. Died from Pneumonia,and was buried in a Paupers grave,

That was my take on it too Catherine.

I see William has marked answers as completed .....
