Thank you Andy

I'm sure the Agness you found in 1851 is the correct one, the given place of birth (on original census) is the same as the address on 1841, so maybe she was born Ulverston....

Death for Mary...I shall get the cert

safc,

Thank you shall follow that marriage through census

Maybe not the correct marriage. The image is on Ancestry under BOWNSKI. Her father is listed as John-a farmer. Wasn't her father a mariner?

Misty, hang fire a couple of days with ordering the death certificate for 1843 for Mary. She could have been any age & it's a common name.

Lancs-opc only has Ulverston, St Mary deaths to 1841 - but the local RO has them transcribed and on film much later than this. I'm there on Wednesday or Thursday and will check for a burial record.

Mike I think your earlier 1851 census posting is more likely, her mother was still at same address in 1851 and that looks to be where Agnes grew up. Cavenidsh street is about half a mile away in the centre of town.

And there is an Agnes Clark baptised 1837 in Dalton, and living with her dad Timothy in Pennington in 1841, but she is not with her father in 1851 (he's re-married with other children there)

Apologies for slow reply....

Flip, Thank you I would very much appreciate you looking at RO for Mary.

I also think earlier post for Agnes is correct one

Thank you every one who has contributed

Flip Report 9 Jul 2014 07:24

It's a strange coincidence, but I'm sure Matthew married to different Agnes Clark's - and the one in 1871 is your Agnes. The earlier one died in 1869, it's on Cumbria BMD as sub district Dalton (Barrow was in this parish back then) and the 1861 census states she was born Penny Bridge - which is not in Ulverston.

I'm also sure you've nailed Agnes!

If you check Cumbria BMD you'll see they had a number of children between 1861/68, then there is a gap to 1873 where more children were born presumably to the second Agnes. Also, the 2nd marriage certificate is online, it clearly states her father as John Clark (dec) sailor - not a tailor.

The probate for Richard George Clark, gave an address of South Villa, Kents Bank. Your Agnes died in 1905, and Matthew Armer in 1917 - both their probates are on Ancestry in 1917 the addresss is the same. Her's (with will) granted to Edith Jane Armer, spinster. His to John Dodson Armer (miller) + solicitor, John Dodson appears to be a son from his first marriage.

I'll let you know later if the death for Mary checks out.
