Find Ancestors

Yes.... will have to make a decision on that one!

Remember that on the 1901 image, William's age is 48, not 40 as mistranscribed on Ancestry.

Registration wasn't compulsory in IoM until 1878, and his birth doesn't appear here:
http://www.manxbmd.com/index.html
So you may never know exactly when he was born (1901 census not necessarily accurate).

The 1908 death I posted on page 1 may therefore still be correct, even though the man's age appears to be several years out, but you'd have to buy both it and the marriage cert to compare the fathers' names - and the marriage cert would give an age.

As we don't know his YOB, there are several people who might be him in 1871 & 1881 censuses.

Thanks for the responses.

I think I can see where all the red herrings are...

Blaine states that Mary Alice is definitely with her sister Fanny Little, at Market Harborough in 1911.
Mary Ann and 2 children are in this SAME household at 1891
Mary Ann is listed as married but her husband is not on the census.

The next census for this family at 1901 was posted above by ArgyllGran.

Therefore, the father William appears only on the 1901 census where is is listed as age 40yrs , and Mary Alice is widowed at 1911.
Based on this, William was born in Ramsey, IOM and died between 1901 and 1911

(apologies Jan, and Folks, was following above wrong couple!)

Chris :)

07 March 1924 - Hull Daily Mail - Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, England

Death
On the 5th, Fanny Elizabeth Little, of 357, Holderness Road, Hull. Cortege leaves 18, Chaucer Road, 10.30, Saturday morning for Western Cemetery.

If you wish to pursue this, you might need the marriage cert, as Chris suggests. That way you can confirm his age and hopefully name of his father. so he will be easier to find on a census.

Chris, not sure how the above Liverpool Corlett fits in? Here is that couple's marriage, and them in 1901:

(details needed from above, to be sure of things!)

It has to be Mary Alice Corlett... she is at her sister, Fanny Little's home
in 1911 census as a widow.
This may be all we ever find.

So you are certain that your distant cousin was definitely born c1857 in Market Harborough, and therefore definitely the one on the censuses, married to William Corlett?

I know she moved around a bit before marriage - in a different county in each of 1861, 1871, and 1881.
But I just wondered why she would get married in London? And therefore wondered if it was the right marriage.

In 1881 she was living in Lancashire, and FreeBMD shows two marriages for women called Mary Alice Little in Lancashire (Prescot and Rochdale).
Also one in Reigate, Surrey.

Blaine, you must have a reason to be looking at this person though, so how have you arrived at him?
The actual image on the 1901 census says place of birth is 'IOM' - so isle of Man not isle of Wight.
Jan

How have you worked back to him?
Is it through one of his children?

FreeBMD has these births around that time -- none in IoW:

Yes, I agree with Brummiejan. The 1901 image says he was 48, which, if correct, would make his birth 1853.

Are you sure it was the Isle of White and not the Isle of Man...as above

Ref


Web: Isle of Man, Baptism Index, 1600-1981


Name:William Henry Corlett

Baptism Date:24 Jul 1859

Baptism Place:Lezayre, Isle of Man

Residence:Ramsey

Father:
John Corlett (drayman)

Mother:
Mary Corlett (née Callister)

Biography:Parents: John Corlett (drayman) & Mary Corlett (née Callister).

I think he was 48 in 1901?
Jan

???? Per FreeBMD

Deaths Mar 1908 (>99%)
CORLETT William Henry 59 Salford 8d 76

[EDIT:
Wrong age. Are you certain he was born c1861?]

As Brummiejan says, there are several possibilities.

Also quite a number of William H Corletts alive in 1911, and born in or near 1861 in Ramsey and other places in Isle of Wight.

Mary Alice widowed in 1911:
