Find Ancestors

Below are details that I have from 1881 census. Could some one find the details for William and Miranda Horwood on 1871 Census as I thought there was an older daughter and 1891 census to see the younger children......... 1881 - Census........ William Horwood - b. 1841 Miranda Horwood - b. 1847 Catherine Horwood - b. 1872 Ellen Horwood - b. 1874 Ruth Horwood - b. 1877........ West Well Lane Tingewick Buckinghamshire......... Many Thanks Esta

No luck on the 1871 census (Bucks isn't on Ancestry), but this is the family in 1891:- William 50, Maranda (sic) 44, Martha 9, William J 5. The address looks like St Kiley's Lane. I have saved the image if you'd like it, and will look on 1901 for you.

1891 Ruth is in service Horwood, Ruth A 14 Tingewick, Buckinghamshire Servant Marsh Gibbon Buckinghamshire Source information: RG12/1155 Registration district: Newport Pagnell Sub registration district: Tingewick ED, institution, or vessel: 6 Folio: 61 Page: 11 Ellen also in service (transcribed as Norwood) Norwood, Ellen 18 Tingewick, Buckinghamshire Servant Merton Surrey Source information: RG12/603 Registration district: Croydon Sub registration district: Mitcham ED, institution, or vessel: 13 Folio: 61 Page: 19 Catherine in service (mistranscibed as Howard) Howard, Catherine 19 Tingewick, Buckinghamshire Servant Winslow Buckinghamshire Source information: RG12/1148 Registration district: Winslow Sub registration district: Winslow ED, institution, or vessel: 1 Folio: 18 Page: 29

By 1901, William and Maranda (same spelling as 1891 census) are still in Tingewick, in Straftord Lane, but all the children have left home.

Thanks Jools and Carol I’ve just started to try and find this family using the census. It’s not easy as they all seem to go into service as soon as possible. I’m grateful for your help as I would really like to try and sort this out !! I still have a daughter missing on 1881 Elizabeth b. 1873 presumably in service somewhere !! Mary, Elizabeth and Catherine all need to found in 1891 but they could also be anywhere !! I don’t know where to start with 1901 ( thought I’d try to sort out the other years first. I do know where Martha is as she is my great-grandma and I know William died in 1899.) So if you fancy trying to help sort out this puzzle - I’d be gratefull for any help. Many Thanks Esta x Ps - Carol I will send you an email as I’d like the image please.

sorry Jools just noticed you found Catherine in 1891 - thank you :)

Elizabeth (the older sister you were looking for I assume) 1891 in service (transcribed as Norwood) with sister Ellen Norwood, Elizabeth 25 Tingewick, Buckinghamshire Servant Merton Surrey Source information: RG12/603 Registration district: Croydon Sub registration district: Mitcham ED, institution, or vessel: 13 Folio: 61 Page: 19 Who is this Mary - you've not mentioned her before?

Sorry Jools - Mary is the oldest daughter b. 1865. She has been found in service in 1881 in surrey but can't find her in 1891. - although I know there's the possibily she is married ! Esta :)

1891 possibles for mary - searched for mary born tingewick, got 28 hits, sifting out daughters and the wrong ages, you're left with:- Muddock, James 29 Islington, London Head Islington London Muddock, Mary A 25 Tingewick, Buckinghamshire Wife Islington London Muddock, Sarah E 4 London Daughter Islington London Muddock, William J 5 Buckinghamshire Son Islington London Source information: RG12/176 Registration district: Islington Sub registration district: Highbury ED, institution, or vessel: 21 Folio: 60 Page: 45 And I think this will be their marriage Horwood, Mary Ann 1886 March Marriages Greater London London Middlesex 1b 428 MUDDOCK, James 1886 March Marriages Greater London London Middlesex 1b

No problem, will send you them on. Glad to have been of assistance, Carole

Hi Jools How on earth………..I’m amazed you found that and I’m really grateful ! Knowing Marys movements is brillient……it was her and Elizabeth that I am finding hard to find. Having the possible marriage details is a bonus…Thank you. I think being married in 1901 is were I will find the other daughters - although I’m not sure Ellen and Ruth married - Elizabeth and Catherine did ( I think ! ) Thank you once again Esta J

Images on their way...

Jools Now you've found Catherine aswell....Thank you sooooooo much :) Esta x

Elizabeth. 1901 (using decoder) has 12 married Elizabeth's born Tingewick age 30 +/- 10, but I can't find an Elizabeth Horwood marriage on freebmd 1891-1901 to anyone with a surname which also occurs on the 12 hits I got on the 1901. The 12 hits on 1901 are:- Elizabeth Beale 39 Bucks Tingewick Oxford Adderbury East Dressmaker Elizabeth Benson 32 Bucks Tingewick Lancashire Rishton Elizabeth Browning 38 Bucks Tingewick Buckingham Tingewick Elizabeth Bryant 40 Bucks Tingewick Northampton Paulerspury Elizabeth Gough 25 Bucks Tingewick Buckingham Barton Hartshorne Entire Elizabeth Hewitt 40 Buckingham Tingewick London St George In The East Elizabeth King 25 Bucks Tingewick Buckingham Buckingham Elizabeth Knibbs 39 Bucks Tingewick Buckingham Lillingstone Lovel Elizabeth Steeden 39 Bucks Tingewick Buckingham Tingewick Elizabeth Stokes 37 Bucks Tingewick Buckingham Buckingham Elizabeth Stuchfield 32 Bucks Tingewick Buckingham Tingewick Entire Elizabeth Walton 33 Bucks Tingewick Buckinghamshire Stony Stratford West Entire Ruth seems to disappeared off the face of 1901!!! No ruth born tingewick of any age.

Jools Thank you very much - you’ve help fill in a lot of gaps for me. Elizabeth is proving a bit of a pain in 1881 and 1901 ( there’s always one ) I will have to see if I can find some more information on her that might help ! Just Ellen and Ruth to find in 1901 - it’s these two that I know very little about !! Thank you for your help and time - I appreciate it Esta J

Carole - Thank you for your help and time aswell - still waiting for the image to arrive !! Esta :)

Jools, All I know about Ruth is that she lived in a cottage in a place called Borstal in Kent around the time of WW2 !! and that Ellen was know as Nell and lived by the river Medway !! Esta :)
