sorry I meant she was married in Hull
on the 1891, 1901 & 1911 census they all say she was born in hull and with her living in hull I thought she was born in hull but as I cannot find any information on her birth it looks like this is not the case, on her marriage certificate it says she was a spinster , her father was James and he was a manure merchant,

22 April 1864 - Hull Packet - Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, England

A complaint was received from a gentleman residing in Kirkwood street, Lockwood street, of the nuisance caused by a deposit of manure on a piece of waste ground in the neighbourhood. It was resolved that a sub-committee inspect the premises, with a view to the abatement of such nuisance. Inspector reported that he had inspected an artificial manure manure factory in Church street Wilcolmlee, in the occupation of Mr James Spencer, and found it to be a nuisance to the neighbourhood.

Also had a pm from Sheila

Just a little more information Emma's surname & her father's surname on Emma's marriage certificate are both Spencer his occupation is down as manure merchant.


I have tried to encourage Sheila to reply on here but am failing miserably :-(

I wonder if this is another child of James?

Mother's Name Sarah

Looks like it, AustinQ.

Ellen's birthplace is variable - in 1851 it's Scrafton, Yorkshire, and in 1861 it's Derby.

I can't see a death for Ellen in East Riding between 1861 and 1871, nor a marriage of James to an Emily in either Lincolnshire or Hull area in the same period , if the 1871 posted on 4th July @ 12:07 is the same family. John and Samuel's birth years certainly fit, as does young Emily's with the info we've been given.

I suppose it could be just the one wife throughout, as details seem to be very changeable.

Off out the door- but just in case - could this be James' first marriage:

There's a few newpaper articles which I'll post later, but it looks as though James may have gone by the name John too.

edits (apologies, just seen Newspaper items posted)

Definitely could be manure merchant, and it fits with the 1881 census above. He's the only James Spencer manure merchant I could find, so I'd be pretty certain that it's the correct one (I don't think it's an occupation you'd make up to impress the inlaws!). This is the FMP version of that 1861:

1861 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription

James Spencer Head Married Male 41 1820 ...Merchant Gleaston, Northamptonshire, England
Ellen Spencer Wife Married Female 31 1830 - Derby, Derbyshire, England

----------------------------------------

There are several news articles relating to James, manure merchant around the Hull area- mainly petty offences, including failing to send his children to school.

This is a possible death for James, which ties in with him being deceased on Emma's marriage in 1891.

So, we just need to do a little sorting now re his wife/ wives. I'm at work in a bit but will try and look later.

Argyll Gran, it looks like manure merchant to me?

Can anyone make out the occupation of the James Spencer in the 1861 census I posted on 4th July @ 12:07 ?

That Emily, daughter of James in the 1881 posted above by AustinQ, was born in Winterton, Lincolnshire. Not Hull.

Going back to your opening post, Sheila -
you said Emma's marriage cert said she was born in Hull.

What's the exact wording on the marriage cert, please?

As Kathleen said, marriage certs don't usually have place of birth on them.

I have some sedation at the dental hospital today, so I don't have full concentration. I just spotted this, don't know if it's connected, but I'll put it up now so I can take a better look tomorrow:

Hull and Eastern Counties Herald - Thursday 07 November 1867

A man named James Spencer, manure merchant, carrying on business in Drypool was charged with uttering and disposing of a bill of exchange for £16 10s purported to be signed band accepted by Mr George Ryder, when he well knew that it had not been accepted....

I just had a lovely message from Sheila acknowledging the help she's had.

She also added the following:

"when Emma married Walter her marriage certificate said her father was James, deceased and his occupation was manure merchant "
