Goes out of her way to help
Is anyone able to tell if the newspaper notice for Hannah Lupton & Matthew Rawson marriage in May 1839, Leeds, has more info than the date please? Wondering if worthwhile to subscribe.

Thank you!

Edit: Apologies, have seen the marriage certificate for 14 Sept 1839, so probably not my Hannah....
 
Can't find Hannah & Matthew post 1841 census, when they are in Holbeck, Leeds. Grateful for help :)
 
Leeds Times - 21st September 1839
1771272192814.webp

There are mentions in 3 papers but they all say the same thing. They were both of Holbeck
 
The marriage names Matthew's father as James Rawson, Clothier, and one of the witnesses is Martha Rawson, who I believe is his mother.

In 1851 Matthew appears to be back with his parents in Willow Green, Horsforth and claiming to be a 25-year-old unmarried clothier.

ADDED
Matthew marries again in 1855, this time to Martha Thompson at Guiseley. His signature is the same as in his marriage to Hannah and his father is again James, a clothier, but he claims to be a bachelor.
 
Thank you both!

Good find & interesting re Matthew... WIll look to see if Hannah has died.

Thank you @Andromeda,

Do have the 1861 entry because of Emily, but hadn't got around to looking into how they connected!

I suspect that Emily is Hannah's niece.

Thank you @Chimp

Shame the price of Wills have gone up so much but maybe worthwhile sending for......

Emily Sutcliff b.1845, is the daughter of Hannah's younger sister Sarah Lupton b.1819 & Henry Sutcliffe. Emily returned to Wakefield & married Fred King in 1864.

Interestingly, Sarah & Henry's daughter Harriet b.1859, gave birth to a illegitimate son Arthur Raistrick Sutcliffe in 1877. He was baptised 02 Sept 1877 at St John's Church, Bradford.

1881 Census: RG11, Piece: 4461, Folio: 9, Pg: 9,
Harriet & Arthur are living with Emily & Fred King in Bradford, WYks. Harriet dies in early 1882, presumably leaving Arthur in their care.

1891 Census: RG12, Piece: 810, Folio: 41, Pg: 20. 9 Elder Row, Brighton, Sussex
Arthur aged 14 yrs is a visitor in the home of Samuel b.1857, Iron Turner & Mary A Shaw b.1859, both born Leeds, along with their 3 children. Haven't looked into the connection as yet & where is Arthur in subsequent years?
 
I am wondering if Matthew lied about his age when he married Hannah0n 14 Sept 1839, which may have annulled the marriage!

Matthew's father James was born about 1797 Horsforth & his mother Martha Longfellow was baptised 21 Oct 1804, Horsforth. They married in Guiseley, Horsforth on 13 Jul 1823.

Matthew son of James & Martha was baptised 21 Aug 1825, so his age is out by 9 years!!! So, he would have been about 15 yrs old on his marriage.... :oops: Matthew doesn't give an age on his marriages, only 'full age'.

It is only the 1841 census, where he gives an age equating to an approximate birth year of 1816. All other census years up to & including 1891, he has a birth year of approx. 1825/26.

Thoughts would be most welcome.
 
I think its highly unlikely that it was annulled. The legal age for boys to marry was 14, and although he would technically have been a minor it appears that his mother was present and a witness to the marriage, so it seems that consent would have been given if asked.

Also when Hannah remarried she claimed to be a widow - why do that if the marriage had been annulled?

Agree! Forgot abt Hannah saying she was a 'widow' on remarrying.

Thank you for keeping me on my toes.

The 1873 death was the right Hannah, thank you @Chimp but it has thrown up a puzzle!

A Matilda Collings (b.Jersey, Channel Islands) was present & registered the death. Her address was given as 19 Edwin Place. She stated Hannah was the wife of Samuel Raistrick & that Hannah had died at 158 Eastern Rd, Brighton but interestingly, in the 1871 census, Matilda & family are living at 158 Eastern Rd & in the 1881 census, Samuel is living at 19 Edwin Place..... (my thoughts initially went to all sort of places re Samuel & possible Matilda liasion :rolleyes:).
So did the Registrar transpose the addresses when doing the register for the GRO??? Imagine the only way to know, would be to send for the original death certificate from the local Registry Office, which I'm not going to do as Hannah is a 4th great aunt.

Also, where was Samuel in the 1871 census?
