Some possible births from Lancashirebmd.
Do any of the mother's maiden name in brackets ring any bells ?



Lancashire Birth indexes for the years: 1895
AINSWORTH Elsie Blackburn Northern Blackburn ( JACKSON )
AINSWORTH Elsie Darwen Blackburn (FISH )

Lancashire Birth indexes for the years: 1896
AINSWORTH Elsie Darwen Blackburn (MARSH)

If the 1937 marriage was Robert's second marriage, then there is also the possiblility that it was also Elsie's second marriage.

There is a James Hacking who married an Elsie Ainsworth in 1915 so this Elsie could very well have been born around the correct time, and checking on freebmd there are several possible births.

Marriages Dec 1915 (>99%)
Ainsworth Elsie Hacking Blackburn 8e 1029
Hacking James Ainsworth Blackburn 8e 1029

.............but it's still only guess work without that dratted cert.

1911 posted by Susan would be the same family as the earlier census records already posted with parents James Thomas (brother to Mary).

You really do need that marriage cert.!

is this her.

Thanks for all your help andy and catherine. Youve been great. I will go back to my sources and show them something is wrong somewhere. Just wondering how often the death certificate is wrong, as they definately say that elsie was 84 on her death in 1974 in blackpool. I have not seen the actual certificate myself, but they do have it. Will email now and ask to confirm.
thankyou

I have checked free bmd and found no sign of an elsie born around 1890 or 1889 so i am coming to conclusion date of death is wrong and the info about elsie being on the burnley census in 1901 aged 11 , which would make her also born 1890 ish, must be wrong. Unless anyone can find an elsie aged 11 on the 1901 living in burnley? strange!!

There is no birth for Elsie Hacking born 1889.

These are the only births around that year

I have some info that james t and a jane were her parents but as no sign on the census and having seen that her death date means she was born in 1889 , will probably have to get a certificate for definate proof. But its unusual to have two elsie's unless one had previously died.? Its a conundrum. Think my sources have got some bits wrong, but they do have her death certificate. So think birth of 1889 is more or less accurate. ?

Thats a possible, but think elsie is born definately around 1889 again in burnley, and must surely have a family connection to mary e somewhere? Have found a marriage for robert to an annie butterworth in burnley , so a second late marriage fore robert.

Looking back at the info posted, Elsie would seem to be the daughter of Mary Elizabeth's brother James Thomas Hacking, and therefore her niece.
(OOps just noticed Andrew had already added that to his posting.)

To be absolutely sure who the Elsie from the marriage is, you would really need to buy the cert. to confirm her age at the time of marriage and her father's name.

Hi Andrew
That one is a possibility although she is quite a bit younger than robert then, and marrying in blackpool? Well maybe its a second marriage for both of them. ? Will check out if robert married previously. !937 you say? And robert died in 1940 so poor thing didnt have long marriage then. OOps, just noticed i have elsie being born in 1889 in burnley aged 11 on the 1901 census in burnley. Dont have her parents down though but know she died in blackpool in 1974 aged 84, so 1889 is about right for her birth. Can you spot her parents then on the 1891 from that info, she would be approx two years old. ? Always told elsie and mary were sisters so thats wrong at least. !

Looks like a different family, or Elsie is the niece of Mary. This James could be the same as on the 1881/91 posted above

Thanks again to you both, will now try and find elsie. As robert stansfield is the younger brother, born in 1876 i will presume that elsie is a bit younger .
thanks again
shirley

If this is one of the marriages, then a birth in 1875 looks very early

Yes! I have added birth places to census info above.

tHANKS CATHERINE, its looking good. But no sign of an elsie so elsie having last name of hacking must be a coincidence, or maybe she is a cousin. On the 1891 does it say that william was born in burnley and martha in broughton?

1881?
