Jeremiah Upton

[Viva1angel]

Hi all.

Odd one here.. or atleast it seems odd to me.


I have a matilda Johnson Marrying Jeremiah Upton in 1875 in wolverhamton,


Matilda and Jeremiah had one Son, Joseph, Born 1878.

I then have Matilda, Now Jennings in the 1881 census with Joseph marked as William C Jennings son.

I simply assumed jeremiah had Died and Matilda remarried (she remarries again after william Dies)

I was looking to tidy up some loose ends and decided to find jeremiahs death date.... there is no death of a jeremiah until 1891.

The death records puts him at 52 when died in 1891.

I cannot Find a birth record to match this age anywhere in the UK, Nor can i find another Jeremiah death in between them getting married and matilda marrying William Jennings in 1881 :-(

Free BMD have a marriage of William Cranage Jennings to Matilda Upton
Lichfield Staffs march qtr 1881.

I hope this helps

There are several birth registrations for a Joseph UPTON in 1877 and 1878 so it's unclear which is the right one. It may be the Lichfield one being not far from Brownhills but I expected to see it in a different registration district because it's a different parish.

 

[oznannie]

Staffs BMD have the marriage of Matilda Upton to William C Jennings
1881 at St Anne, Chasetown, N.U.Lyme
Added: should have said 1st qtr.

a death for William Cranage Jennings in jul/sep qtr 1888 aged 53yrs
in Sheffield Yorks, could this be him?

Oznannie

Added later: looks like him as Matilda Jennings married Arthur Thomas Carratt in 1889
Rotherham Yorks and Joseph as Jennings 13 is in 1891 census with them listed as stepson.

 

[Viva1angel]

Yes, Matilda did marry Arthur carratt (i get the feeling matilda did not like being alone haha)


I have Spent the last few hours looking at this Jessie Upton. I cannot Find anything, Birth or death that mentions the mother. All i found was that there was another jeremiah upton born and living in sheffield.


Jeremiah is proving to be a hard nut to crack.

I still cant work out when he died, Or if he did infact die.... or if matilda just left him.

Thanks

Emma

 

[DaveHam9]

I think you mean Jeremiah.

 

[Viva1angel]

i dont think i wrote that last post correctly.

I did mean i was looking for jessies birth or death..

but then went on to talk about jeremiah but did not mention i was refering to him.

It made sense to me i suppose haha:2fun:

Hi

Anc have her transcribed as Jennie. If you look at the typed record of her death, it reads Jessie for deffo.
