Woodthorpe family
 

Winifred Windross's birth was registered Apr-Jun 1888 Guisborough district, MMN Woodtharp.

This is her family in 1891:

Sarah Do Wife M 31 Yorks Driffield
John R Do Son 11 Scholar Do Slapewath
Maud Do Dau 9 Do Do Do
Lambeth Do Son 5 Do Do Thirsk
Winifred Do Daur 2 Do Slapewath

This is the parents' marriage record on FMP:

Robert Windross 25, bachelor, miner, abode Belmontgate, father John Windross, miner
Sarah Woodthorpe, 21, spinster, abode Belmontgate, father Charles Woodthorpe, farm labourer

and 1881 census:

15 North Terrace, Loftus (Lofthouse), Yorkshire
Robert Winders Head Mar 26 Ironstone Miner Wales
Sarah Do Wife Mar 21 Yorkshire Stokesley
John R Do Son 1 Do Magna Park.

On the 1901 census Sarah is 42 born Driffield.

Sarah Woodtharp / Woodthorp birth registered Jan-Mar 1859 Driffield, MMN McColey.

There is a William Woodthorpe birth Oct-Dec 1861 Scarborough, MMN McAuley, who may or may not belong to the same parents.

The nearest I can find for the marriage of Sarah's parents is a possible William Woodthorp / Ann McColley marriage Jan-Mar 1858 Beverley.

Can anyone find Sarah on the 1861 or 1871 census, please?

Hmm, there is also the marriage of a John Woodthorp, 26, bachelor, miner, abode Belmontgate, to Martha Hawman 28 Jan 1885 at Guisborough. His father is Charles Woodthorp (deceased), miner.

And banns for William Woodthorp OTP widower and Hannah Twelves OTP widow Dec 1877 also at Guisborough.

I'm stumped too, Kate.

Here is the marriage for William Woolthorpe and Ann McColley:

Thanks for that, Elizabeth.

Looks as though John Woodthorpe died a year after his marriage, aged 28, and Martha remarried in 1887. So no point looking for them in 1891.

These people may or may not be connected to any of the above:

1881 census - 5 Watsons Row, Guisbrough
Hannah Woodthorpe Head Mar 62 Nottinghamshire Worksop
William Do Son Unm 20 Iron Miner Yorkshire Castleton

Okay, I've found a tree which says that Hannah Twelves, widow, was born Hannah Moore and she married Joseph Twelves 10 Oct 1849 at Worksop, her father being John Moore, labourer. This is getting exciting, because she might just turn out to be related to my Moores from the Worksop area. I started on this whole thing because I had a new DNA match, on my mother's side, none of whose family on any other branch seemed to come from anywhere near any of mine, so I was hoping this branch might be the connection. Except of course Hannah wasn't married to a Woodthorpe when Sarah was born!

This is William/Charles Woodthorpe in 1891:

Aged 77, born Kirton, Lincolnshire. No occupation and a visitor, but with a John aged 5 born Guisboro'

John was John and Martha's son s 6 January 1886.
It looks as if he is in an Industrial School in 1901, with birthplace given as Gainsborough, Lincs.

Thanks, Phoenix!
