George MORTON

[DaveHam9]

Hello,

I'm looking for the death of George and the death of his unknown 2nd spouse.

George is listed as married not widower but where is his spouse and who is she?

1851
Civil parish: Cartworth
Ecclesiastical parish: Holmfirth
Town: Holmfirth
County/Island: Yorkshire
Country: England
Registration district: Huddersfield
Sub-registration district: Honley
Address: Holmfirth, Cartworth
MORTON, George Head Married M 45 1806 Overlooker of Woollen Factory Kirkburton Yorkshire
MORTON, Ann Daughter Unmarried F 22 1829 Kirkburton Yorkshire
MORTON, Wright Son M 0 (1 WKS) 1851 Kirkburton Yorkshire

Not Sally because I can find no marriage that fits.

Deaths Jun 1851 ??
Morton Sally Huddersfield 22 22[35] ?

This is George's first marriage:

groom's name: George Morton
groom's birth date:
groom's birthplace:
groom's age:
bride's name: Charlotte Barrowclough
bride's birth date:
bride's birthplace:
bride's age:
marriage date: 11 Feb 1827
marriage place: Kirkburton, York, England

No sign of Charlotte with George and daughter Ann in 1841 so is this Charlotte's death?

Deaths Sep 1839
Morton Charlotte Huddersfield 22 196


Or this one?

Deaths Dec 1850
MORTON Charlotte Huddersfield 22 233

If Wright is 1 week old then Charlotte was not his mother with death registered the previous year.
Something does not add up.

Births Mar 1850
Morton Wright Huddersfield 22 311

Such a huge gap would normally mean a 2nd spouse.

Regards,

Dave

Nothing fits. No match for name in marriage list and death list.

That must be another George. Age does not fit. The George who married Charlotte was born abt 1805. Charlotte was born 1806.

Ann fits as being their daughter:

This is the George Morton you refer to as being another George - married to Hannah Wood. He has 4 stepchildren, surname Wood ranging from 17 - 6 years

 

[DaveHam9]

Hello Woody,

Thank you very much.

Ok, I'm confused now and it's only 7:17 am. :2fun:

So, what is my next question?

This is the only one I can find:

Births Mar 1850
Morton Wright Huddersfield 22 311

I think the image of the 1851 in post #1 would be handy please. I think we need to check the whole line to see if Wright is a 'son' and if he is 1 year or 1 month old.

If he is not a son then my George didn't remarry and because there seems to be no children after Ann born 1828 then Charlotte died in 1839.

 

[woodlander]

Anybody's guess With you just waking and me not far off ready for sleeping, the brains aren't to be relied on

Why are you so sure of the right George?

 

[DaveHam9]

I started with this:


name: Charlotte Barraclaugh
gender: Female

and found this but no age for George:

groom's birth date:
groom's birthplace:
groom's age:
bride's name: Charlotte Barrowclough
bride's birth date:

then the 1851 in post#1 with George, Ann and Wright. And no Charlotte in 1841 or 1851.

 

[woodlander]

Looks def 1 week to me Dave - I've e mailed the image.

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks. Yes, we have 2 x Wright and only one birth reg.

Of the 4 deaths it seems only one fits a birth around 1850.

The aim of this topic was to find the death of my George. I found a 2nd but didn't know there was a 3rd in the same area just west of Jackson Bridge.

I'll be back whenever.

Year of Registration: 1851
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun

MarriageFinder™: Ann Morton married one of the following people

HIRST, Alfred view record
STANFIELD, Henry view record
BROOK, George view record
CASTLE, Joe view record

Thought Ann's marriage might have outside chance of helping. Appears to have married Henry Stanfield - 1861 census piece 3250 folio 131 page 21 (has daughter Georgina) next page has an Eli Morton age 32 ag lab with wife Jane & family and also a James Morton age 50 stone mason with wife also Jane - probably useless information

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Woody.

So no sign of Wright with Ann and family? And no sign of father George with them?

[DaveHam9]

We have 3x George and it looks as though these fit so which one is my George, b. abt 1806?

The one who married Sarah was born abt 1804.

The one who married Hannah was born abt 1813.

Deaths Dec 1859
MORTON George Huddersfield 9a 176

Deaths Dec 1868
Morton George 60 Huddersfield 9a 238
Morton George 63 Huddersfield 9a 226

Two of them should be in 1861 so I hope spouse or occupation can separate them.

Hello Woody,

Might not be useless info. It's possible Ann's grandfather is a James MORTON, but not the 50 year old stone mason.

Might be worth trying to find a James old enough to be the father of George b. abt 1806 Kirkburton. I think this one is old enough.
