I am looking for James and Maria measures on any census. They married in 1838 in the district of Ashby de la zouch.
James was born 1819 in Newbold Verdon and Maria in 1816 in Markfield. I cannot locate them on any census. I would like to see if they had children
Can anyone help?
Hi again,
James Measures Christening 17 December, 1823 at Ashby De La Zouch but does not indicate date or place of birth.
Parents William and Elizabeth (nee Mansfield) Measures who married on the 30th April, 1815 in Packerton, Leics.
I have also seached the censuses for him and Maria with no success which makes me think that he may have gone abroad, in the services perhaps? I'm sure you have checked and I take it that you are sure about the details that you have, forenames, places etc.
For example there is a James Measure who could be the one but his wife's name is Hannah.
Regards
Spike
thanks spike, james was christened in Newbold verdon Leics, parents thomas and catherine. I cant find them on any census, I know for definate they were in leicestershire in 1841 as maria is a witness at her brothers wedding. Perhaps they went to america with marias brothers. I'll keep looking
Hi yet again,
On th 1891 census there is a Maria Measures born 1816 in Ashby De La Zouch. She was a widow living alone in court 10, Ashby De La Zouch, Leics.
As for her death the only close one I could find was a MARY Measures who died in the March 1/4 1906 in Ashby De La Zouch which again makes me wonder about correct forenames?
Anyway with that in mind I back serched back and found a James Measures who died September 1/4 1886 in Leicestershire. Vol. 7a page 109 refers.
The following Measures were born in Ashby De La Zouch between 1840 and 1850.
Elizabeth born March 1/4 1841
John born March 1/4 1842
James born March 1/4 1844
John born March 1/4 1845
Eliza born September 1/4 1845
Thomas born June 1/4 1849
Of course the only way to to know if any of the above are some of the children you are looking for is to send off for a copy of a birth certificate.
Trust the above is of help.
Regards
Spike
