Find Ancestors

Hi,
I am trying to trace the wife of William Hierons born 1851 Twickenham, London. All I have is Mary Ann born 1851 Berkshire. Their children were-
Emily Hierons born 1873 Holy Port, Fanny Hierons born 1879 Bermondsey,
William Hierons born 1882 Handworth Middlesex and Rose Hierons born 1886 Hanworth Middlesex.
In later years the family moved to Middlesbrough area, North East England.
I would appreciate any help, thank you.
Julia.

Their marriage certificate, or one of the children's birth certificates will give you her maiden name.
Have you looked on free bmd?

Hi Patchem,
Yes I have looked on freebmd but can not find the marriage.
Regards,
Julia.

Are these William's parents:
William Hierons
Record Type: Baptism
Estimated Birth Date: abt 1851
Baptism Date: 6 Apr 1851
Father's Name: William Hierons
Mother's Name: Charlotte Hierons
Parish or Poor Law Union: Twickenham
Borough: Richmond upon Thames
Register Type: Parish Registers

This looks like the son's birth certificate which will give his mother's maiden name:-


Name: HIERONS, William
Registration district: Staines
County: Middlesex
Year of registration: 1882
Quarter of registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
Mother's maiden name: Not available before 1911 Q3
Volume no: 3A
Page no: 4

Could this be Rose's birth:-


Name: HIERONS, Rosina
Registration district: Staines
County: Middlesex
Year of registration: 1886
Quarter of registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
Mother's maiden name: Not available before 1911 Q3
Volume no: 3A

Julia - did Mary Ann later remarry to a Bennett?

1901:

BENNETT, Mary Head Widow F 50 1851 Holly Port, Berkshire
HIERONS, William Son Single M 19 1882 General Labourer Ironwork Handworth, Middlesex
HIERONS, Rose Daughter Single F 14 1887 Handworth, Middlesex

Piece: 4587 Folio: 123 Page: 39
Registration District: Middlesbrough
Civil Parish: Ormesby

Address: 68, Hymer Street, Ormesby, North Ormesby County: Yorkshire (North riding)

EDIT: - No, looking at the original it looks like they've copied her surname from the family above. Have reported error.

Hi,
Yes the parents of William were William and Charlotte Barker.
There is confusion because Mary was wrongly listed on a census
as 'Bennett' but this was the next door neighbours Surname. This was when Mary lived at Ormesby or North Ormesby Middlesbrough. On a 1911 census Mary is living with her daughter Frances Rutherford, Mary is a Widow.
Regards
Julia.

Is Holy Port in Berkshire?

Holyport (pronounced Hollyport) is a village in the civil parish of Bray, about 2 miles south of Maidenhead in the English county of Berkshire.

Regards Vera

Have you found William on any census with Mary Ann?

Do you know what his occupation was, and when did he die?

Hi KathleenBell,
Yes I think this could be the birth of Rose(Rosina), thank you.
Hi MarieCeleste,
It looks like Mary re-married but I am not sure, someone else said it was a mistake? I will look for second marriage.
Thank you
Julia.

If Emily was born in Holy Port, it comes under Cookham.
Possibly she was illegitimate as not showing anywhere for Emily Hierons.

Fanny Hierons is showing for 1879.

William's death was very recent before the 1901 so it's unlikely that Mary had remarried, definitely an error on the census:

England & Wales, FreeBMD Death Index: 1837-1915

Name: William Barker Hierons
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1849
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1901
Age at Death: 52
Registration district: Middlesbrough
Inferred County: Yorkshire North Riding
Volume: 9d
Page: 402

Reagrds,
Julia.

Have searched high and low and can't find a marriage record. Means one of two things:

- They never actually married. Surprising how many couples actually didn't bother back then. Always the possibility that one or the other was already married to someone else.

- His name on marriage has been terribly mis-transcribed by all sites

Hi MarieCeleste,
Yes this is the death of William, Barker was his mother's maiden name.
No I have not reported the mistake in the census.
Regards,
Julia.

Hi,
Thank you for looking for the marriage MarieCeleste, it seems I will need to order certificates to maybe shed some light on this family.
Regards,
Julia.

Sorry Julia - when I said "have reported error" - I meant I had!

Hi MarieCeleste,
Ok, thank you.
Regards,
Julia.
