This is Maria with her second husband in 1881. Her first husband George Kingston had died in 1873.

1881 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription
271, Wortley Road, Kimberworth, Rotherham, Yorkshire,

Thomas Ward Head Married Male 36 1845 Laborer In Iron Works Worksop, Nottinghamshire,
Maria Ward Wife Married Female 42 1839 - Greasbrough, Yorkshire,
Ellen Kingston Step Daughter Single Female 14 1867 - Sheffield, Yorkshire,
Frank Kingston Step Son Single Male 12 1869 Scholar Greasbrough, Yorkshire,
Thomas Kingston Step Son Single Male 9 1872 Scholar Kimberworth, Yorkshire,
George Kingston Step Son Single Male 7 1874 Scholar Kimberworth, Yorkshire,

I then find the family in 1891

1891 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription
Bradgate Lane, Kimberworth, Rotherham, Yorkshire, England

Thomas Ward Head Married Male 45 1846 General Labourer Harthill, Yorkshire, England
Maria Ward Wife Married Female 51 1840 - Greasbrough, Yorkshire, England
Frank F Kingstone Son Single Male 23 1868 Coal Miner Greasbrough, Yorkshire, England
Tom Kingstone Son Single Male 19 1872 Coal Miner Bradgate, Yorkshire, England
George Kingstone Son Single Male 17 1874 Coal Miner Bradgate, Yorkshire, England
Beatrice Kingstone Daughter - Female 11 1880 Scholar Bradgate, Yorkshire, England

Maria's children are now shown as Thomas's children not step-children however there is now Beatrice who is shown with the surname Kingstone but she wasn't shown with the family in 1881.

I have found a birth for a Beatrice Kingston but think I have found her with her parents in 1881. I cannot find a birth for a Beatrice Ward.

Thanks for reading

Thanks for your replies.

I'd guessed she was Thomas's daughter it was just surprising that she was down as Kingston and also she wasn't with them in the previous census. I haven't been able to find her in the previous census either.

If she was born 1882 she wouldn't be on the 1881 census and also wouldn't be 11 in 1891.

Thank you so much for finding that birth Maddie, I had only checked 1880 and 1881 as the census had shown she was 11.

Thanks for everyone's help.

A possibility perhaps???

Could Annie Kingston (mother of Beatrice L Kingston bapt 5th Oct 1880) be the daughter of George and Maria Kingston??. (there is a birth reg for an Annie Kingston in 1862 in Rotherham)
Could the Beatrice Kingston shown in the census as the daughter of Maria and Thomas Ward be Maria's granddaughter ??

Possible marriage after Beatrice was born

EDIT: sort of snap, Chris! You posted while I was still searching and typing.


RR posted the birth of a Beatrice Liversidge Kingston, which she discounted because the mother 's name was Annie.

In 1901 Thomas and Maria have a grand-daughter surnamed Liversidge, born in Bradgate, and a grandson with the middle name of Liversidge.
Liversidge was actually his surname, per his birth record, and his mother was Annie - see below.

So I would guess that Annie was a sister of Maria, and the Thomas and Maria had taken Beatrice to live with them before Annie married Mr Liversidge.


[EDIT: Or indeed, and more likely, given the ages, daughter of Maria, as Chris suggests.]

By George, Chris, I think you've got it! Her name was Beatrice Liversidge Kingston:

Mary

Mary Report 14 Feb 2016 16:56

1881 277,Wortley Road (Maria ward at 271 Wortley Road)
Annie Liversidge 1862 married to James
On the same page as George Neatby/Nealby born 1866 he married Annie's sister Ellen/Eleanor 20/3/1888
One of their children is with Maria Ward on the 1901 census posted above.

Ellen/Eleanor/Helener was with parents George and Maria Kingston in 1871.

So it is looking more like Annie was the daughter of George and Maria Kingston.

Wow you have been busy, thank you.

Looking at all the information you have found I believe you may be right. I wasn't aware that George and Maria had got a daughter named Annie as I haven't found her with the family in any census even in 1871. I have only found the following children

Emma 1863 - Unable to find birth record
Harry 1865
Eleanor 1867
Frank 1868
Tom 1871
George 1873

I have since tried looking for Annie in 1871 but cannot find her nor can I find a baptism record.

This is the family in 1871

The image of the 1871 above, says Emma was born Greasbrough.


Marriages Sep 1861 (>99%)
HAMILTON Maria Rotherham 9c 521
Kingston George Rotherham 9c 521


The dates don't make sense, but could this be her??

Births Mar 1862 (>99%)
HAMILTON Emily Ann Rotherham 9c 414


Perhaps conceived before Maria's marriage, and not George's child, so registered as Hamilton ??? Long shot.


EDIT: No, it's not her:

At some point I will have to send off for Annie's birth certificate.

I am not related, Maria is my sons 3x gt grandmother on their dads direct line and I am intrigued to know if Annie is her daughter.

I am still struggling to find Emma c1863 in any record other than the 1871 census. Would someone mind taking a look for me. I've checked FMP and Freebmd.

Thank you
