Well, the children were named Nightingale on the 1851 census and Jane Sarah didn't marry William Hughes until 1853.
|
Since Jane Sarah's maiden name is Nightingale George Joseph and any siblings would be illegitimate so not much chance of finding father's name, I'm afraid.
|
Thanks Margee!
I think after much reading of records, etc.....it would appear that the children are infact "Hughes" and not "Nightingale"....I'm still wondering why on the census it says "Nightingale" though?! :S
|
Yes, very common for children to take stepfather's name. However they usually used their legal name at marriage.
|
Oh, I've just remembered something else I was going to say....
My connection is through George Joseph Nightingale, who is Jane Sarah's son. But is it normal that when someone remarried, etc... in those days that the children take on the new partners name? If so, that would then explain how in some census records he's "Nightingale" and in others he's "Hughes".... :S
I'm just wondering now how to go about trying to find his and his siblings father.....

Thank you all again!

Looks like Jane Sarah is a widow in 1861. 23 Butcher's Row, Stepney Jane Sarah Hughes, head, widow, 40, house keeper, born Essex, Barking Chas William, son, 15, corking bottles, born Ratcliff George Joseph, son, 13, corking bottles, born " Jonathon, son, 12, corking bottles, born Mile End Maria (something?), dau, 10, born Bethnal Green Eliza Sarah, dau, 8, born " Alfred Henry, son, 6, born Ratcliff
|
someone has him in a tree on Ancestry and only Eliza and Alfred are born after his marriage in 1853 to Jane Sarah Nightingale. The others are born between 1845 and 1849
|
Just for info
Name: William Hughes Age: 64 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1789 Spouse Name: Jane Sarah Nightingale Spouse Age: 37 Record Type: Marriage Marriage Date: 04 Jul 1853 Parish: St Philip, Bethnal Green County: Middlesex Borough: Tower Hamlets Father Name: William Hughes -lighterman Spouse Father Name: William Nightingale
Father William is not actually marked as deceased
|
I see he was a widower when he married. Are you sure the children aren't from his first marriage? Although Jane Sarah was 37 when they married so it's possible.
|
The only information I have for William Hughes is that he was 64 years old when he married Jane Sarah Nightingale on 04/07/1853 (so DOB c.1789) -Tower Hamlets, Middlesex.
On the marriage Banns it lists William's father also as William Hughes, but deceased.
I have children for him and Jane as: Charles, George, Jonathan, Maria, Eliza and Alfred.
I really want to try and find out more information about him and his parents, etc.... but I've come a bit stuck at the moment. If it's of any help to anyone, I know that part of the family came from the Bethnal Green/Stepney/Ratcliff area London/Middlesex.
Thanks in advance to any helpers! :-) SJ x
